Chapter Seventy-Six: The Butler
Did Geng Yong listen to the housekeeper? Even he didn't believe it. γLatest chapter reading. γ
This news can spread in the mansion, and a housekeeper still knows who spread it, this matter is by no means so simple.
Geng Yong is a rough man, but he is not stupid. If the housekeeper really knew such details, this matter would not have been deceived in the house for so long, and the housekeeper would have helped a lot.
He regretted telling the butler about the general, maybe there was something deeper in the middle of all this.
He rode out and rode back again. The more Geng Yong thought about it, the more wrong it became, and he wanted to go back to Li's house to have a look.
This mezzanine between the inner city and the outer city will be calm on a normal day. If you want to enter the palace, you have to turn around. If you want to shop, you can go ahead. Therefore, it has become a place for everyone, there are no vendors who are desperately busy for a living, and there is a little more peace.
On this quiet street, the sudden appearance of people riding horses like Geng Yong is a sight. And on the way back this time, Geng Yong also met many officers and soldiers, who came over in a mighty way.
"What's going on!" Geng Yong shouted on the horse.
Seeing that it was Geng Yong, a few people hurriedly knelt down, and the rest continued to move forward.
"Lord Hui, we just received a letter saying that General Li's house has been robbed, let's hurry up." The soldier said.
"Huh?" Geng Yong looked puzzled, he had just come out of there, and he shouldn't have the possibility of being robbed.
"Alright, I'll go with you." Geng Yong replied.
Regardless of the soldier's answer, he rode his horse and whipped, leaving everyone behind in an instant.
By the time Geng Yong returned to the Li Mansion, it had become a mess. The outside door was still unwatched, and a bunch of people inside were rummaging through the yard.
"What's going on! Chamberlain! Butler! Geng Yong shouted a few times.
No one responded, so Geng Yong simply walked inside. The courtyard outside was full of debris, and when I went around, I saw that Li Siqiu's house was not closed.
Inside the room, Li Siqiu sat there in a daze, his eyes not knowing where to look.
"Girl, what's wrong with you?" Geng Yong walked in.
Li Siqiu shook his head and said, "General Geng, you say, should I believe you who have known you for more than ten years, or believe in the descendants of three generations of housekeepers in our family." β
When these words were spoken, Geng Yong felt a faint tingling pain in his chest. There is no need to ask any more, this Li Siqiu didn't believe himself at all.
"Girl, you, why are you like this?" Geng Yong was a little unwilling and continued to ask.
Li Siqiu was a little helpless, stood up, and said with blurred eyes: "The housekeeper said that my brother is dead." You ran back from the front line, ready to trick us out of here, so that the emperor can leave my brother's handle and let our Li family be abandoned for generations. β
"Girl, how could I do that. I've been by your brother's side for so many years, how could I do this! Geng Yong's voice trembled a little.
He knew that it was useless to talk too much. The only people in charge of this family are Li Sihong's frail mother and sister. My sister is still young, and although she has her own mind, she can judge that she is not developed enough. The old lady is already a handful of years old, and she can't figure out many things at all.
Li Siqiu didn't answer, and Geng Yong continued to ask.
"Sister, what are you going to do now?" Geng Yong asked with some loss.
Li Siqiu looked at Geng Yong, lightly lifted his lips, and said, "I, come with you." β
"Huh?" This answer made Geng Yong excited and a little caught off guard.
"The butler told my mother about this, and my mother had to believe him. Inside and outside the house, it has become a mess of porridge. She looked at Geng Yong's eyes, a little more firm, and said, "But I believe in you more." β
"So, I'm waiting for you here. I knew you would definitely come back. Li Siqiu said again.
As soon as these words came out, Geng Yong no longer stood. He took a few steps forward and dragged Li Siqiu.
Li Siqiu looked at him, his eyes full of spring. It's chaotic outside, but here, it's like heaven.
Geng Yong's face turned red, it was the first time he had been so close to a girl. What's more, it's a girl you love.
The two of them got closer and closer, and their faces touched together, and his lips touched hers.
This kiss is like rain after years of drought. The place in his heart that had not been touched for many years was now softer, and as a result, his appearance became harder and harder.
He couldn't control himself anymore, and he had long forgotten where he was. At this moment, all the nerves in the brain come together and encounter the strongest impulse.
This impulse controls the whole body, crazy, perhaps only this word can describe Geng Yong at this time.
"Ahh Li Siqiu was pressed to the ground and screamed.
This scream interrupted Geng Yong's madness and shattered the hard nerve in an instant.
"Bang!"
Geng Yong only felt a crisp sound in his brain, and as soon as his eyes were dark, he was about to faint. At this moment, the eyes lit up again, and the whole person was fixed there.
There is no Li Siqiu in front of him.
There was no clutter, no officers and soldiers, no passion, not even a gasp.
He stood in front of the door of the Li Mansion, the door was hidden, as if he was deliberately covering up many secrets.
Geng Yong was stunned for a while before he reacted, everything just now seemed to be a dream.
Rubbing his head, Geng Yong didn't know whether he was in a dream or in reality at this time. Barely holding his mind, he beat himself a few more times. After making sure that there was pain on his body, he pushed the door in.
After entering the Li Mansion, Geng Yong made a difficulty. He didn't know if he had notified the crowd or not. Did I just come back, or did I come back again?
At that moment just now, it was as if someone had taken it away, and I couldn't remember anything.
After taking a few steps forward, Li Mansion was as quiet as usual. Compared with the crying Li Siqiu I saw in my dream, all this is more real.
"Now, it should be true." Geng Yong took a few more steps forward, thinking to himself.
He didn't know why he had such a dream out of thin air, and even had an affair with Li Siqiu in his dream.
Geng Yong's face was still flushed, and he walked to the entrance of the lobby, squirming and not daring to go in.
"Second General, is that you?"
A voice sounded behind Geng Yong.
When Geng Yong turned around, it was the housekeeper. He was dressed in a plain robe, and he looked very clean and elegant.
"Great, Second General, you're back! Hurry up, come in. The housekeeper said excitedly.
As he spoke, he pushed Geng Yong into the room. Geng Yong did not resist and followed the housekeeper in.
Looking at the butler's face, Geng Yong hadn't seen him for a long time. But this time, he was exactly the same as what he saw in his dreams.
Walking into the lobby, the sad atmosphere inside is blowing in the face. The whole family is here, and there are only a dozen people in total, and they are frowning in the lobby.
