Chapter 6: Words are terrible
On weekdays, not only does he talk in front of people, but it is difficult for people to find flaws in his every move, but today he has such a performance. This made Lin Yinan have to feel that his trip was really not in vain.
"Ling Yi, you go over and take a look, I'll go back first." Lin Yinan retracted his gaze, changed his previous plan, and said to the people around him: "Pay attention, those two people get together, if they are discovered, you will feel good." ”
"Why don't you personally go over and hear the purpose of the crown prince and the seventh prince coming here?"
"Make sure they're coming, and you'll know what to expect." Lin Yinan smiled slightly, revealing a bit of laziness and arrogance in his smile. Then he flickered and disappeared in place.
Lu Zhiyao was locked in the firewood room, and as the wooden door was slammed shut, Lu Zhiyao's tense body relaxed a little. A few sarcastic words that fell into the well came out of the mouth of the family who had not gone far, and then drifted into Lu Zhiyao's ears. But Lu Zhiyao didn't care, and only thought about the name he had just heard. It wasn't until more than half an hour had passed that Lu Zhiyao picked up his spirits and glanced around at where she was.
Lu Zhiyao sat on the ground weakly and smiled self-deprecatingly. For Lu Yuanzheng's performance today, she was not without disappointment. But compared to the disappointment, Lu Zhiyao is more willing to believe that his situation will slowly improve in the future. The confusion of the Lu expedition will not last forever.
The sky gradually darkened in Lu Zhiyao's thoughts, in the dirty and messy firewood room, there was no water, no food and no bed, Lu Zhiyao was only close to the window, so that he could see some things in front of him clearly through the moonlight outside the window, but he also had to withstand the cold wind blowing in from the window.
The night is deep, people are quiet, and there is no sleep. Lu Zhiyao hugged his thin body, curled up in the corner, and looked out the window with his eyes firm. She thought about it a lot, but she never thought that Lu Yuanzheng would leave her here alive for three days, regardless of whether she asked.
For three days, Lu Zhiyao, who had not eaten a mouthful of food or drunk a sip of water, had almost survived to the limit. The expectations in her heart for Lu Yuanzheng from the beginning have disappeared over time.
She can't die here, she still has a lot of important things to do, and she definitely can't die here.
Lu Zhiyao kept repeating to himself in his heart, then slowly climbed up from the ground by holding on to the wall, walked to the door and pushed the door that had been locked.
Two days ago, there were still family members guarding outside, but on the third day, Lu Zhiyao couldn't hear any movement outside. A wry smile appeared at the corner of Lu Zhiyao's mouth, and she lowered her eyes to think about what she should do to escape from here. If it really goes out, how should you face the faces of Lu Yuanzheng and Ye Lianrong and Lu Zhiqing.
Just when Lu Zhiyao was concentrating on thinking, a sound of footsteps suddenly came from far and near, and he entered the courtyard. Lu Zhiyao's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly returned to the corner, pretending to be in the same posture as before, and looked at the door silently. Listening to the sound of the lock being opened, Lu Zhiyao's bloodshot eyes burst out with a cold chill. Who would be here at such a late hour?
The person who pushed the door in was something Lu Zhiyao had never seen before. She thought it would be Ye Lianrong and Lu Zhiqing, the mother and daughter, and wanted to do something to herself while no one found out, but ......
"Miss, you're hungry!" The middle-aged woman carrying the lantern was obviously relieved after seeing that Lu Zhiyao was still alive. "Xuanyue, be smart and go outside and stare at it." The woman turned around and said a word to the girl behind her, and after she nodded and walked out of the room, the woman walked in front of Lu Zhiyao, put the lantern at Lu Zhiyao's feet, and then took out a few buns and handed them to Lu Zhiyao.
Lu Zhiyao looked at the woman vigilantly, she wanted to ask, "Who are you?" But he is afraid of startling the snake and arousing suspicion.
"Miss, what do you want?" Chang Manting couldn't help but feel a little worried when she saw Lu Zhiyao staring at her. "Are you feeling uncomfortable? Eat something to fill your stomach first, and when the morning comes, I'll go and beg the master to let you go! ”
The anxious look on Chang Manting's face made Lu Zhiyao's cold heart pass a trace of warmth. Looking down at the buns and water in her hands, Lu Zhiyao thought about it, no longer hesitated, and under Chang Manting's distressed gaze, he ate what she brought with some embarrassment.
After eating something, Lu Zhiyao also regained some strength. Wiping the corners of his mouth, Lu Zhiyao spoke in a low voice and said softly, "Xie Lu Xie." ”
"I've really wronged you." Chang Manting shook her head a little helplessly, "It's all because I'm useless, it took three days to find a chance to come over, I'm really afraid it's too late, Miss, you will ......"
Chang Manting said as she spoke, tears grooming in the corners of her eyes. This made Lu Zhiyao a little surprised when he saw it.
With her status and status in the Prime Minister's Mansion, how can there be loyal servants around her? But the reaction of the woman in front of her didn't seem like she was pretending.
"Miss, I know that you are bitter, but ......"
"Don't cry." Lu Zhiyao turned his head away from looking at Chang Manting's tears down his cheeks, "I'm not dead yet, am I." ”
Lu Zhiyao's words made Chang Manting immediately stunned. She looked at Lu Zhiyao blankly, a little unable to believe that the sentence just now came out of Lu Zhiyao's mouth.
"How do you have the key here?" Lu Zhiyao didn't wait for her to react, and began to ask questions.
"It was given by the master." Chang Manting reflexively answered the question of landing away, and then suddenly came back to her senses. "Miss, don't blame the master for this incident, he doesn't feel good in his heart. But the second lady made too much trouble this time, and the old man had no choice but to make this decision. ”
Lu Zhiyao calmly listened to Chang Manting say good things for Lu Yuanzheng, and after she finished speaking, Lu Zhiyao smiled coldly and said, "Well, I don't blame him." He is my father, he is the prime minister, no matter what he does, he should do it. Who am I? I'm just a superfluous person who can spit on anyone in our prime minister's mansion and can white-eyed, and I don't blame anyone. ”
Lu Zhiyao's flat tone made Chang Manting immediately panic. She gasped, thinking that Lu Zhiyao had the idea of wanting to commit suicide, and hurriedly begged: "Miss, you have to live well, even if it is for the deceased lady, you can't seek death!" ”
"Of course I have to live well, otherwise how can I pay them back after suffering for so many years?!" Lu Zhiyao looked at Chang Manting with surprised eyes, and said word by word: "For so many years, I have always lived carefully, and I think I have never been sorry for anyone." But what did they do to me? I didn't mean to hurt them, but they tried to kill me. How can I not take revenge for this revenge? ”
Lu Zhiyao's words were a little murderous, and Chang Manting was dumbfounded when she heard it. Is this person really the eldest lady who is usually cowardly and timid, and can only cry and cry when something happens?
"Since my father asked you to come, did he ask you to bring me anything?" Lu Zhiyao quickly changed the topic, not giving Chang Manting a chance to think too much.
"The master said, let the young lady stop provoking the second lady and the second lady......"
"I never wanted to provoke them, my dad should know that." So far, what Lu Yuanzheng thinks, Lu Zhiyao has guessed a little. Just as Lu Zhiyao thought before, in this Xiangfu with different thoughts, if it weren't for Lu Yuanzheng, he might have died a long time ago, and he would not have survived until now. However, Lu Yuanzheng's "love" for her daughter is limited to sneaking around in the middle of the night. It's impossible to expect him to do more.
"People are terrible, my dad can't stand those rumors about me, I can understand it. But didn't he think that if the rumor-mongers were not removed, the rumor would not stop disappearing one day? He won't let me die, is it because I'm his eldest daughter? Or is it because my face is somewhat similar to my mother'......? ”
"Miss, you can't talk nonsense!" Chang Manting almost wanted to cover her mouth when Lu Zhiyao talked about the worst of the time, for fear of being listened to by others.
"Miss is right! Those who talk nonsense should tear their mouths apart! A crisp voice came from the door, making Lu Zhiyao and Chang Manting both look over. The corners of Lu Zhiyao's mouth raised slightly, and he looked at the woman who was about the same age as himself coming over, and after looking at himself seriously for a while, he said: "Miss, you used to cry all the time, I was tired of it, and now I finally cry enough?" ”
"Wanyue, don't talk nonsense!"
"yes, enough crying." After Chang Manting's voice sounded, Lu Zhiyao smiled lightly and said to the girl called Wanyue: "So I thought about tearing those people's mouths." ”
The reason why Lu Zhiyao dared to say these words to these two people so boldly was entirely because of their reactions. Lu Zhiyao has the mentality of giving it a try, if it is really as he thinks, then there are two more people who can use it. If they are here to act, then they will simply be killed after the temptation. Anyway, in the middle of the night, no one saw it, and no one knew what to do. Even if it was dawn tomorrow, who would believe that a man who had been starving for three days would have the strength to kill these two people?
"Miss, I'll help you! I've been looking at them for a long time! Wanyue volunteered and said angrily. It seems that he has been bullied for too long, and the anger in his heart has reached the edge and has nowhere to release. "Mother, what are you pinching me for?"
Wanyue looked at Chang Manting aggrievedly, frowned and said, "Don't you often say that those wicked people will be punished sooner or later?" We've all been bullied by them, and you're still pinching me! ”
"Just a mouth that can speak! I ask you, you really want to help Miss, how can you help? Who is the second lady? You're a little girl, you're going to talk nonsense! ”
Chang Manting scolded her whimsical daughter, but she didn't want to, Lu Zhiyao had already heard some news from the words of the two of them.
