Chapter 70: No Man Shall Be Seen
Jiuhui was the first to react, and quickly took the tray to pack the leftover tea that Ke Xiyuan and the others had drunk, and strode out.
Li Shuling immediately knew what Jiuhui wanted to do, and regardless of anything else, she strode after her, and at the moment when Jiuhui opened the door, she lifted the tea tray with one palm, and all the tea fell on Cao Mingyuan, who was about to enter the door.
"Okay, you rude daughter-in-law, I just said that you can't be a tea, you dare to throw your face at me?" , Li Shuling's voice is very loud, and it has the potential to take the lead.
Jiuhui was a little confused, she was going to make tea on Cao Mingyuan recklessly, so that the two could continue to talk, but she didn't expect Li Shuling to rush up.
It's just that soon, Jiuhui reacted, "The second lady is so unreasonable, the slave maid just obeys the master's instructions and goes to change some other tea for the young lady to taste." Miss Bi is so rude! ”
"You ......", Li Shuling seemed to react now, glanced at the door, and immediately showed a frightened expression on her face, "Brother Cao...... This...... It's all this! Brother Cao, kill her! ”
"Ling'er, don't mess around!" , Cao Mingyuan's voice was not loud, but with a hint of sternness.
Ke Xiyuan had already come over, but he didn't expect that Cao Mingyuan really loved Li Shuling. I'm afraid that I have long regarded Li Shuling as my own sister in my heart, and I am taking care of my younger sister for my beloved!
"Sister Ling'er, look at it, is Miss really out of temper? I won't tell you the truth, I love these two around me very much on weekdays, even if I marry them out, I want to take them with me. It's like a relative. That's it, but it has developed their arrogance. Sister, don't be angry, I'll compensate you first. You see in my face. It's better not to talk to them, okay? I heard that my sister loves to drink Lao Meijun. I just have two catties of good ones there, and I'll let my sister take them back and taste them slowly, okay? Ke Xiyuan looked at Cao Mingyuan, who was a little wolf, and only felt funny in his heart, but he also endured it.
Li Shuling made a look of struggling for a long time, and finally said angrily. "That's it! I'll give my cousin a face! ", turned his head to look at Cao Mingyuan, and stuck out his tongue. Brother Cao, are you like this...... Why don't you go and change your clothes first? ”
When rich and noble families go out, they will have a set of clothes in the carriage, just for fear of such an emergency.
Cao Mingyuan's face darkened. glanced at Jiuhui, who was pale with a proud face. I haven't had time to have a seizure yet. I heard a cold female voice.
"Lord Cao is the governor of the Huai River, and I don't think I will participate in the petty fights between the women of the boudoir. My cousin is still young, and she is a noble young lady, and I will not let her be wronged in vain. Jiuhui, punish you for half a year's silver, can you be convinced? Ke Xiyuan saw Cao Mingyuan for the first time, and it was a lie to say that he was not surprised.
Always thought. King Cao Yan, who everyone in the Huai River area feared, would be a tough guy with thick limbs, but now he can look at it. is actually a polite white-faced scholar. I sighed in my heart, people can't look good, and the ancients didn't deceive me.
Cao Mingyuan's eyes were also on Ke Xiyuan, squinted his eyes, and laughed. His official position does not have to salute Ke Xiyuan, so he just nodded, "With the county lord here, naturally the second lady will not suffer." Since the county lord has already punished the house slave, Mingyuan naturally has no reason to cross the county lord to punish a subordinate. The current appearance is really not suitable for this, so the official went to change his clothes first. ”
"Slow down, adults! I will entertain the second lady well and wait for the adults to pick me up. Ke Xiyuan was full of smiles and was not ambiguous.
Cao Mingyuan glanced at Ke Xiyuan a few times, then stared at Li Shuling a few times, frowned, and turned to leave.
Li Shuling saw that he was far away, so she breathed a sigh of relief and gave Jiuhui half a salute, "It's really a last resort, don't be surprised!" If you rush out, I'm afraid your life is gone! ”
Ke Xiyuan's master and servant all had confused expressions on their faces, and Li Shuling said, "Although Brother Cao's fist and foot skills are average, there are masters around him. If Jiuhui had just rushed out, he was afraid that he would have died at the hands of that person. If it's me, how many Brother Cao won't want my life! A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Li Shuling's lips, and she looked at Jiuhui's eyes with guilt.
"Thank you, Second Miss, for saving the slave's life!" , Jiuhui knew that he had taken a trip to the Ghost Gate, and he couldn't help but feel a little scared. But even if she did it again, she would have chosen it this way. Ke Xiyuan only asked her to drag Cao Mingyuan with tricks, and this was the fastest and easiest way she could think of. Now it looks like it's stupid.
"Cousin, thank you for saving Jiuhui! I won't tell you the truth, if something happens to her, I'll ......", Ke Xiyuan felt scared for the first time. All along, careful planning has never deviated. The sudden arrival of Cao Mingyuan and Li Shuling today still made her plan deviate. Fortunately, Jiuhui is fine. Otherwise, I'm afraid she will regret it for the rest of her life. She didn't expect that Jiuhui would think of such a solution. Thinking like this, Li Shuling's eyes became softer and softer.
"You don't know Brother Cao, so naturally you don't know the merits of this. I'm watching, and there's no reason for you to hurt people, cousin. Now like this, I'm afraid that Brother Cao has become suspicious, and I have to go. My cousin only needs to know that when the man saw me and told me, it was the old man who ordered the guard who sent the eldest sister to Beijing to suffocate the eldest sister with his own hands. That person is a close confidant of the master, and he will only do it when the master orders him. That person's cousin may meet in the future, his name is Hongyan. That's all for today, I just beg my cousin, if you can overthrow the master, you must be ruthless. Although I don't know too much, I also know that many villages in this Huaihe River have disappeared for no reason, and none of the people in the village have survived, most of them are from the hands of the master. The master does things, and he likes to cut the grass and eradicate the roots the most. My cousin and cousin-in-law came to this Huai River, so we must be careful in everything. This Yunyin Temple is a safe place to live, and the master's hand can't reach in. But my cousin still has to take it slowly, don't anger him. Otherwise...... I'm just afraid he'll really ignore it! I have nothing else, I just want to protect my mother and me in this troubled world, and ......", Li Shuling bit her lip, raised her head, and looked at Ke Xiyuan, her eyes were firm, "Help my sister take revenge!" ”
Ke Xiyuan also knew that he couldn't continue the topic at this moment, Cao Mingyuan would be back soon, so he took Li Shuling's hand, "You came to help me a lot today, I ...... it", Ke Xiyuan was about to continue, and Ke Ying passed on the secret. A hint of pity flashed in her eyes, but her voice was amplified, "I hit my cousin at first sight, if I can, I will go to the house to visit my aunt and cousin another day!" After speaking, he squeezed Li Shuling's hand.
Li Shuling's eyes also flashed, and her eyes were full of gratitude, "Naturally, it's the best!" Mother has long been thinking about this aunt in Beijing, and she must be happy to see your cousin! ”
The two of them finished speaking, and the door opened. Li Shuling let go of Ke Xiyuan's hand, walked to Cao Mingyuan's side, and smiled sweetly, "Brother Cao, let's go!" ”
Cao Mingyuan's gaze turned back and forth on Ke Xiyuan a few times, then nodded, turned and left. (To be continued......)
