Chapter 175: I'll Be Obedient
"Well, I understand. I'll stay at home, wait for your good news, and try not to mess with you. Daisy choked up, she didn't know what else she could do but be obedient.
"I'm sorry to worry you." Aaron hugged her into his arms, and he couldn't stop feeling guilty.
"So don't leave me." Daisy leaned her head on his chest and said aggrievedly.
Aaron sighed and put his arms around her, without saying a word for a long time.
Xu Jingning hurriedly ran out, ignoring the strange eyes of those people, and ran directly to the gate.
But there was nothing left where I parked last night, and there could be no shadow of Leng An.
"Miss Xu, the duke has ordered, you can't leave here!" A maid hurriedly ran over and grabbed Xu Jingning.
"Did you see anyone coming with me?" Xu Jingning grabbed her and asked anxiously.
The maid shook her head, "Miss Xu, if you want to find someone, go and tell the housekeeper, he will definitely try his best to help you find it." β
But Xu Jingning couldn't listen at all, Leng An had helped her so many times, if something happened because of her again, she would definitely not forgive herself.
But after searching all over the Duke's Palace, she couldn't find Leng An, where did he go?
After these changes, Xu Jingjing squatted on the ground in frustration, why did he just come to a banquet and things would become like this?
Ou Yan must still be waiting for her to go back, but when these things happen, she can't leave at all.
"Miss Xu, I've found Mr. Leng An!" Not far away, a middle-aged man ran towards this side, panting and standing in front of Xu Ningning, "The servant said that you are looking for Mr. Leng everywhere, and I have already found him." β
"Where! Where is he! Take me to him! Xu Ningning stood up and pulled the housekeeper to ask anxiously.
The housekeeper signaled her not to worry, "Miss Xu, Mr. Leng is still in a fever because he was in a coma outside for a night. β
"Comatose? He's hurt?! β
"I was just knocked unconscious, except for the fever, nothing serious."
Xu Jingning breathed a sigh of relief, "Then hurry up and take me to see him!" β
"Okay, this way, please."
Xu Jingning felt that he was no longer suitable for a housekeeper, and not long after Pan Sen's accident, Leng An had another accident.
"Hey, Leng An, you're really miserable." Xu Jingjing stayed by Leng An's bedside, waiting for him to wake up.
After getting a fever-reducing injection, Leng An lay down for two hours before waking up leisurely.
"Miss......" Leng An's voice was hoarse, and when she saw Xu Jingjing beside her, she didn't expect it.
"Are you awake? Does your head still hurt? β
Leng An struggled to sit up, "I'm fine, Miss, how are you?" β
"You tell me first, what happened to you last night?" Xu Ningning's expression was solemn, she suspected that this was a bureau that had been set up in advance.
"I went out to drive last night, and I waited for you at the door for a long time, and when I saw that you didn't come out for a long time, I got out of the car and was about to go and see, but as soon as I got out of the door, someone attacked me from behind, and then I didn't know what happened."
Recalling the events of last night, Leng An also felt very strange.
"Did you think it could have been done by Count Moss?" Looking at Xu Ningning's pensive expression, Leng An asked softly.
Xu Ningning shook his head, "I don't know either, it seems to be them, it doesn't seem to be." But no matter what, it has nothing to do with them. β
"And how did you do last night?" It is impossible for him to become the target of others' attacks at all, there is only one possibility, and those people are likely to target Xu Ningning.
As soon as she mentioned this, Xu Jingning had a headache, but she didn't know how to tell SΓΉ Leng An, after all, it was embarrassing to say hate.
"Leng An, I'm in trouble now, you take a day of rest first, and then go back to the castle early tomorrow morning, tell SΓΉ Ouyan that they don't worry, and I'll come back when I take care of things."
With Ou Yan's personality, if she doesn't go back for a long time, she will definitely be worried, and then it is possible to find her alone.
Leng An hesitated a little, "Miss, is it okay for you to stay here alone?" Can you tell me what happened? β
Xu Jingjing looked at him, opened his mouth, and thought for a long time before telling him everything that had happened.
Hearing this, Leng An clenched his fists angrily, "These people are so despicable that they used such a detrimental method to deal with you." β
"Hey, I blame myself for being careless and underestimating the limits of their filthiness." Such a lesson is enough for her to forget.
"You can't beat them here alone, or I'll stay." Leng An said uneasily.
Xu Ningning shook his head, "No, you have to go back, but don't tell Ou Yan about what happened on my side, just say that the duke left me to stay temporarily, and I will come back after a while." β
"But ......"
"That's it, don't be long-winded, you have a good rest."
After saying what to say, Xu Jingjing walked out without hesitation.
When I went downstairs, I met Aaron coming in from outside, and he saw Daisy back just after returning.
When the two met, it was inevitable that they would be a little embarrassed, "Miss Xu, is Steward Leng okay?" β
"I've had a fever injection, and now I'm awake." Looking at this face, Xu Ningning still felt awkward, "Aaron, let's go talk in the garden, shall we?" β
Aaron hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "Okay." β
The lady gave priority, Aaron asked Xu Ningning to go first, followed behind her, and instructed the servant on the side by the way, "Prepare a pot of black tea, a stack of horseshoe cakes, and send them to the garden." β
Hearing his orders, Xu Ningning's heart rippled again, her favorite drink was black tea, and her favorite dim sum was water chestnut cake.
A long time ago, Lin Cuo also ordered the servants like this, and for a moment, Xu Jingjing really thought that Lin Cuo was back.
But looking back at Aaron's unfamiliar gaze, Xu Jingjing gave up this idea again.
Aaron only felt strange, it had been more than once, and Xu Ningning would look at him with such sad eyes several times.
On the stone table in the garden, Aaron and Xu Jingjing sat opposite each other.
"Miss Xu, what do you want to talk to me about?" The servant quickly prepared refreshments, and only after they had gone down did Aaron ask out loud.
Looking at his face, Xu Jingjing still couldn't hold back after all, "Do you really not remember the name Lin Cuo?" Can't you remember all the things that happened before? β
Aaron sighed, "Miss Xu, I really can't remember what happened before, I also tried to pay attention to the missing person information, but I still couldn't find my own information, so whether I am the Lin Cuo in your mouth or not, I can't remember, I'm sorry." β
Yes, even if he is Lin Cuo, he has forgotten about himself.
"I'm sorry, I lost my temper. Actually, you're definitely not him, but you look too similar. He's ...... It's gone, it's not been for a long time. Although Xu Ningning still had a smile on her face, the sadness in her eyes overflowed her eyes.
"I'm sorry, it reminds you of something sad, but Steward Leng is quite similar to me, why didn't you recognize him?" Aaron was very curious, although there are many similar people in the sky, but it is too coincidental to meet two at the same time.
Xu Jingning smiled slightly, "When I first met him, I did admit that I was wrong, but there is still a difference after a closer look." β
"If you don't mind, can I ask you guys, what is the relationship?"
Thinking of this question, Xu Ningning was stunned, looking at the blooming azaleas in front of her, her eyes suddenly became blurred, she hurriedly lowered her head, held back the choking in her heart, raised her head, and said with a smile: "He, he is the person I once loved the most." β
Aaron suddenly felt the urge to come forward and hug her, and he couldn't help but be surprised by the thought in his heart.
"Do you know why I'm helping you with Daisy?" Xu Jingjing asked suddenly.
Aaron shook his head puzzled, "Isn't it because you also have someone you like and don't want to be tied up?" β
"Not exactly." Xu Ningning propped himself up on the stone table, picked up a piece of horseshoe cake, just looked at it quietly, and muttered, "Because a long time ago, I experienced the same thing." β
"When Lin Tso was still around, we loved each other very much, but my grandfather strongly objected to us being together because of the ridiculous identity issue. At that time, we knelt together in front of my grandfather, hoping that he would bless us, but no matter what, my grandfather was unmoved, and it was my father who came forward and my grandfather reluctantly agreed. β
"But I didn't expect that my grandfather would be so ruthless, he accepted us on the surface, but behind the scenes, he tried his best to force Lin Cuo to leave me, and Lin Cuo never told me in order not to worry me. But that's where the tragedy comes from. β
"Later, I learned about what my grandfather did, but it was too late, Lin Cuo was framed by my uncle, saying that he approached me to seize the family property, my grandfather was furious, so he asked his father to take Lin Cuo to him immediately, but my father knew that Lin Cuo was wronged, so he secretly let Lin Cuo go, let Lin Cuo go out to avoid the limelight first, and then he came to find a way to clarify Lin Cuo's charges."
But Lin Cuo didn't wait for the day when the charges were clarified, and the uncle guessed his father's thoughts, so he led people to surround the castle and forcibly took Lin Cuo away. I didn't want to see Lin Cuo embarrassed by these people, so I secretly rescued him and prepared to escape with him. β
Speaking of this, Xu Jingning stopped, and then she kept thinking that if she was willing to listen to her father's words, wait patiently, and save Lin Cuo from such a hurry, Lin Cuo would probably be fine.
"Lin Cuo and I took a boat to prepare to flee to China, in order to get the castle, Uncle will not give up so lightly, so he sent some people to track down our whereabouts, and privately sent a group of people, and it was this group of people who really caught up with us in private."
"These people are trying to kill us. At that time, I begged my uncle, and I naively thought that as long as we went back with him, he would let us go, but it was his gun that responded to me. In order to save me, Lin Cuo was shot twice, and the two shots fell on his chest, and he ...... on the spot He lost his breath and was thrown into the sea. β
