Chapter 162: Eavesdropping
Thanks to the blessings of Wang Manqing and Dong Linzhi, Li Guan is quite handy when he opens the window now. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
She leaned sideways against the wall, and quietly touched the back window of Shi Yue's room under the cover of the shadow of the tree.
The faint light reflected through the bright paper on the window, and she straightened up a little and put her ear to the corner of the window to listen to the movement inside.
There was a faint sound of speech in the room, but it was too faint to be heard.
She poked her finger at the clear paper on the pane, and the tentacles were tight, not at all like in modern TV dramas, where she could easily poke a hole out.
However, haha, fortunately, she had thought of this earlier, and when she came out, she easily picked up the scissors used by Xunfang for needlework, and now it can come in handy.
Li Wan picked the bottom of the corner of the window, slowly poked it in with the tip of the scissors, and then carefully drew an arc, and with a slight pick, there was a small hole in the corner of the window.
She grabbed the hole with her scissors and leaned in to squint into the room.
Because the field of vision was too narrow, she only saw Shi Yue sitting on the round stool next to the small round table facing her, and there was a person standing in front of him, because of the angle, Li Wan could only see the corner of the person's clothes, and she guessed that this person should be Huo Lan.
Judging from Shi Yue's demeanor, he seemed to be listening to Huo Lan, but as for what he was saying, she couldn't hear it at all.
Li Guan couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
She was still wearing a white silk shirt that she wore for sleep, and when she stood here and let the north wind blow for a while, her whole body was cold, and her hands were a little stiff.
She stepped back to the window, rubbed her hands, and put her eyes on the hole to look in again.
A hand appeared in the field of vision, holding a letter and handing it to Shi Yue, Shi Yue took it and opened it, he finished reading the thin page in three or two clicks, Li Wan saw Feichen walking to him, lit the letter with a fire fold, opened the teacup on the table, threw the burned ashes into the teacup, and then picked up the teacup and walked towards the window.
Li Wan was startled, and quickly dodged away, his back pressed against the wall by the window, trying to hide himself in the shadows.
In the next second, the window lattice was pushed open with a "squeak", and the steaming tea mixed with black ashes poured into the flower bed in front of the window, and then the window lattice was pulled back up.
In this short gap, Li Wan heard Shi Yue's soft voice floating out of the room: "...... It's too risky, I feel that she has become suspicious of me, and the next time something like the Cao family happens, I should not involve her......"
After hearing this, the next words were once again blocked by the closed window.
Li Wan couldn't help frowning, they were talking about the Cao family, Shi Yue also said that someone was suspicious of him, who did she (he) refer to?
She thought about it carefully, and in their group, except for her, no one seemed to have discovered the connection between Shi Yue and Huo Lan, so she was mostly referring to herself.
However, what does Shi Yue mean by not pulling her in?
Could it be that when dealing with matters related to the Cao family, Huo Lan took advantage of her?
Li Guan's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered what Cao Liyun said to her.
The Cao family obviously misunderstood her identity, and she couldn't figure out the reason for it all day, but in connection with what Shi Yue said just now, there is a chance that this matter has nothing to do with Huo Lan.
The biggest possibility is that Huo Lan pushed her out as Shi Yue's shield.
Although I don't know what he did specifically, this feeling of being used without knowing it made Li Guan very unhappy.
"Xiaoyue, have you slept?"
Just when Li Guan was indignant, there were suddenly several knocks on the door from the window, accompanied by a clear inquiry.
It's so late, why didn't Ibis Yu sleep well in the house, and came to Shi Yue to do something?
Huo Lan is still in the house, what should I do?
As soon as these two questions flashed through her mind, the originally closed window lattice was suddenly pushed open, and a person jumped out with light and swiftness, and then closed the window with his backhand.
Li Wan stood by the window.
Suddenly, the two looked at each other.
The unexpected encounter made them all stunned, and Li Wan stared at the wall with his eyes on the wall, not daring to move.
Eavesdropping on other people's conversations, and as a result, she was caught, and Rao is her skin is as thick as the city wall, and she feels embarrassed at the moment.
Huo Lan reacted quickly, looked at her crumpled middle coat, the long hair that was messily draped over her shoulders, and the scissors she was holding in her hand, she didn't understand what her situation was now, her face sank to the ground, and her eyes stared at her awe-inspiringly.
As soon as he put on such a cold face, the shame in Li Guan's heart immediately disappeared.
That's right, it's her fault to eavesdrop on them, but what qualifications does he Huo Lan have to show her a face?
If he hadn't concealed Shi Yue's identity first, and used her behind his back to deal with the Cao family, would she have braved the cold wind in the middle of the night to come here to eavesdrop on their conversations?
Everyone is one another, and no one should try to accuse each other of claiming justice.
Thinking of this, the embarrassment on Li Guan's face was replaced by a sneer.
"You...... Hmm......" She was just about to speak, Huo Lan's face suddenly changed slightly, covered her mouth, and pulled her to hide under the windowsill.
"Why are you so stuffy in the room, let's let in the window for a while!"
With a laugh, the lattice was pushed open again.
Huo Lan covered Li Guan's mouth with one hand, and squatted under the windowsill with her shoulder with the other, and the sound of a conversation between Ibis and Shi Yue came from the room.
I only heard Shi Yue say: "Sister, is there something wrong with you coming to me so late?" ā
"It's nothing, I can't sleep and come out for a walk, and when I see the light still on in your house, I come and talk to you. What about you, what are you doing without sleeping so late? The voice of the ibis was above them, and apparently she was still standing by the window.
"I've just read a book for a while, and I'm getting ready to sleep."
"Ah, then I'm not bothering you."
"It's okay, I'm not sleepy anyway. Don't stand by the window and blow the wind, come and sit. ā
"Okay, what were you reading just now......
As the voice faded away, Huo Lan breathed a sigh of relief, and when he lowered his eyes, he saw Li Guan's eyes wide, glaring at him accusatory: "Uh-huh, oh (let go of me)!" ā
He quickly let go of his hand.
"Whew-" Li Guan breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and opened his mouth to breathe heavily.
With the faint light, Huo Lan noticed that he had made a circle of white marks around her lips, and in a hurry just now, he forgot to control his strength.
"I'm sorry." He whispered.
Li Wan glared at him fiercely, pushed him away, bowed out of the window, and walked towards his room in the dark.
The stool under the window was still there, she climbed into the room on the stool, and was about to move the stool in, when Huo Lan suddenly turned in from the outside without saying hello.
How dare he come to her room?
Xunfang is still there, what if she wakes up?
"Get out!" Li Wan was silent, and pulled the person and pushed him out of the window.
Who knew that Huo Lan deftly dodged her hand, jumped to the warm kang in a few steps, raised his hand to slash at Xun Fang's neck, and then looked at her with a "now it's okay" expression.
Li Guan: ...... (To be continued.) )
