Chapter 104: Assault Failure
Because of the vigilance in his heart, although Ling Yi closed his eyes, he was awake, and his ears kept listening to the movements around him.
In the quiet room, there was a sudden sound, her eyes opened, and she reflexively grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it in the direction from which the sound came.
"Ahh ”
Ling Yi looked at him coldly, "Finally willing to come out, why, didn't my aunt tell you that you have to be so careful when dealing with me?" ”
Lou Qi was a little surprised, and walked out of the shadows, "You know I'm here?" But why—"
"Why do you know and pretend you don't know?" Ling Yi smiled: "If your tricks are exposed earlier, then this game will not be fun, after all, we all have a purpose to achieve, right?" ”
Lou Qi was a little flustered by Ling Yi's smile.
He had also heard some things about Ling Yi from the Zou family, and knew that the latter was no more delicate than ordinary women.
But when this kind of thing happens, what will happen next can already be predicted, but she can still be indifferent and calm, I have to say, this damn calmness makes him feel faintly uneasy in his heart.
The so-called long nights and dreams, Lou Qi only appeared after calculating the time, and didn't have so much time to chat with her.
Thinking like this, he smiled evilly: "No matter how capable you are, you are just a woman after all, in front of me, there is no woman who cannot be tamed, as long as you spend tonight with me, what is the matter with your eldest lady of the Ling Mansion, it is not that you want to marry my Lou family obediently." ”
Thinking of another possibility, the smile was even colder. "Or you can also choose to hang yourself, maybe this approach is more in line with your Miss Ling's style."
In fact. If it weren't for the Lou family's desire to attach themselves to the Ling family, he wouldn't agree to this matter, a woman with Ling Yi's character is not the type he likes in the end.
Ling Yi was not frightened by his words, but laughed and sat lazily on the stool, confident and confident. "You think I let you appear in my room just to give you a chance? Really when I didn't prepare anything? ”
"This empty house. Even if you were prepared, what would you do with me? I can't cure you if I don't believe it. Lou Qi couldn't stand Ling Yi's confident appearance, and in that case, he looked more and more embarrassed.
He walked towards Ling Yi step by step. People on the outside. You should be ready.
"The two maids at the door, are they your people, they heard the movement inside but didn't react, they wanted to stop me from running out? Or is it open to those who are ready to come to the play? ”
"It's useless for you to stall, tonight, you can't run." Lou Qi gritted his teeth, was ruthless in his heart, and strode towards Ling Yi.
Seeing that his hands were about to touch Ling Yi's shoulders. Even the latter's somewhat anxious reflection in his eyes could be seen clearly, but Lou Qi suddenly couldn't move.

Cui'er dressed Lan and put her shoes on. Lan didn't have time to comb his messy white hair, so he hurriedly pushed the door. But as soon as the door opened, I saw a bright light in front of me.
Ling Hui appeared in the Orchid Garden with a large group of women wearing flowers and branches.
Seeing Lan come out, those women saluted again and again, and some of them had embarrassed faces, always feeling that they were doing something voyeuristic.
However, some people were bold and said directly to the Lan family: "Old lady, we have all heard that Miss Ling is sick, it is quite serious, we specially came over to take a look." ”
The Lan family didn't know what was going on, so he didn't see the Zou family, and asked Ling Huidao, "What about your mother?" ”
"I've already gone to the Lan Pavilion, grandmother, let's go and have a look, if my sister is really sick, it's terrible, I have to ask the doctor to come over quickly." Ling Hui stepped forward to support Lan and pulled her down the steps.
"Yes, why don't you let Master Ling go to the palace and ask the emperor for mercy and give the imperial doctor to take a look?" What's in the crowd.
Lan frowned and waved his hand, it is not so easy to ask for an imperial doctor, and if you want to enter the palace, you still need the emperor's approval, the key is that it is already late at night, who dares to disturb the emperor's rest at this time.
Ling Hui said at the right time: "Grandmother, let's go and have a look." ”
Lan nodded slightly.
Cheng had just arrived, and when he saw Lan going to Lan Pavilion, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Old lady."
She asked Cui'er to go to the lantern, while she helped the Lan family, and said to Ling Hui: "Second Miss, just hold on to the old slave." ”
Ling Hui felt a cloud of anger in her heart, but because the Cheng clan was favored in front of the Lan clan, she had to let go of her hand and follow behind the Lan clan.
The group came to the Lan Pavilion in a grand manner, and the strange thing was that there was no sound in the huge courtyard, and there was not even a maid who kept vigil.
Zou was standing at the gate of the courtyard, as if he was hesitating to go in, and he was standing in the corner with a calm face.
Lan shouted: "Didn't you say that Fu was sick, what are you doing at the door?" ”
Zou Shi was frightened and trembled, turned around and smiled reluctantly, "Old lady, why are you here, Fusheng is just a minor illness, and it is not a big problem, you see that the sky is also dark, it is better to let the concubine go and take a look, you will go back and rest first." ”
"I've all come here, and I'm going back to rest?" Lan couldn't help but scold.
Zou nodded and respectfully bowed his head and stepped back, "What the old lady said is that the concubine is speechless. ”
Lan didn't know why, he always felt that he didn't like to see her tonight, and looked at the weaving fan and weaving feathers, and couldn't help asking, "You didn't serve in front of the eldest lady?" ”
Zhi Yu said respectfully: "The maids were called by Mrs. Cai to help at the banquet, and Mrs. Aunt specially asked Sister Cai Ju to send the eldest lady back." ”
Cai Ju hurriedly stepped forward: "The maid saw the eldest lady enter the house before leaving." ”
Lan glanced at Zou and chuckled, "There are so many people in Qinxin Garden, are you still poor?" ”
Zou was terrified: "There are many guests today, and I can't be busy, so I borrowed some people to use them." ”
"I don't think you've borrowed some people to use it, but you've borrowed all the people in a courtyard." Lan walked into the courtyard with a straight face.
Fortunately, when I walked to the main house, there were two maids guarding one left and one right. When the two saw such a big scene, they were so frightened that they knelt down and saluted.
"Get up, I heard that the eldest lady is sick. What's going on? ”
Lan asked, and was about to push the door into the house, but the two maids turned pale with fright. One hugged Lan's legs, the other blocked the door, and said loudly: "Old lady, the eldest lady just said that her head hurts a little, and she has fallen asleep." ”
The smell of wanting to cover up like a notice was like a notice, and Lan stared suspiciously at the faint light inside the door.
Cheng's face turned sideways. said angrily: "Presumptuous, even the old lady dares to block the way, you are so bold." ”
After being scolded. The two maids were stunned, timidly let go, and did not dare to come out of the atmosphere when they were prostrate on the ground.
Zou stepped forward at this time and reprimanded: "The eldest lady just fell asleep." It's not about doing anything unseemly. Don't get out of the way yet. ”
The two maidens should be on their knees, kneeling to get out of the way.
The lights in the house were dim, and when the door was opened, everyone saw such a scene.
Ling Yi held his cheek in one hand and a book in the other, reading it with relish.
A cool breeze poured into the door, and the fire was about to be extinguished, and Ling Yi raised his head. When I saw Lan first, I couldn't help but wonder: "Why did grandmother come over?" ”
I saw Zou in the back again. I was more and more surprised: "My aunt is here too?" ”
Weaving Fan Weaving Feather walked into the house, and Weaving Feather said worriedly: "Miss, I heard that you are sick, the old lady and the aunt are worried, and they came to see you." ”
Ling Yi helped Lan to sit down, and said in surprise: "Am I sick?" I'm sick and I don't know? Who spread the word? ”
She noticed that behind the Zou family, outside the door, several heads looked up, and after confirming that they were alive, they were also at a loss.
Everyone's eyes fell on the Zou family. Because at the beginning, it was she who said that Ling Yi was seriously ill.
Zou Shi's footsteps were a little disobedient, she walked in with the door, looked around, and only saw Ling Yi standing upright, not even a trace of messy hair.
This is not what she thinks in her heart, according to what she and Lou Qi combined, as soon as the door is pushed open at this time, the two people who are disheveled should be seen.
In front of everyone's eyes, coupled with the rumors she spread, no matter how Ling Yi denied it, everyone would think that these two were unmarried.
The raw rice is cooked and cooked, even if Ling Shandao of the Lan clan is not satisfied, he can only marry Ling Yi. This is the development of things, why don't you see Lou Qi?
"What is my aunt looking for?" Ling Yi asked with a smile.
The corners of Lan's eyes twitched, his teeth clenched, and it took a while to force his tone to sound the same, "I didn't look for anything, I just heard the maid say, there was some movement in it, and I was afraid that something would happen." ”
When the two maids outside the door heard this, they immediately entered the house and said, "The maids just heard some strange sounds, I think it's the cats who are doing it." ”
"Is it a cat? Not something else? Zou's eyes sharpened.
These two maids were all transferred by her, the purpose was to stop Ling Yi who wanted to escape from the door.
Even the doors and windows, she took advantage of the unpreparedness to block them from the outside, if Lou Qi was in the house from the beginning, and the maids stopped at the door, it was impossible for him to disappear for no reason.
Zou thought of another possibility, unless Lou Qi didn't come in at all, but that was even more impossible, because Lou personally sent Lou Qi quietly into Ling Yi's room.
Ling Yi couldn't help but laugh and said, "The maid said that it was a cat, but did the aunt think it was something else?" In my house, apart from animals, people are people, what kind of people make my aunt care so much? ”
Zou's smile was a little stiff, and he said: "Your room, how can I know who is inside, since the maid said that there is an abnormality, then I think it is better to check it, so as not to really break into something and scare you when the time comes." ”
When she said this, a few ladies outside the door immediately nodded and said, "Yes, it doesn't matter, just search, I heard that there are some wild beasts recently, and they go to the boudoir of my daughter's house, it's terrible." ”
Zou glanced at Cai Ju, and Cai Ju immediately echoed: "Yes, eldest lady, my aunt heard that something happened to you here, so she immediately rushed over, and the old lady also came, and all the ladies, everyone just wants to confirm that you are safe, so it is better to let the maid search." ”
Although it was a plea, she actually started to walk around the house directly, bypassing the screen, and looking inside and out of the house, but the more she looked, the colder her hands and feet became, because she didn't find anything, and there was no trace of Lou Qi.
Zou was also very nervous, and let Cai Ju go out, just knowing that the latter was careful, even if there were people in this house, she would definitely be able to find out.
But she forgot one thing, if Lou Zai was there, how could she hide it, she was afraid that she would like to jump out and scream.
Cai Ju didn't find anything that could, so he didn't give up, and he searched for it again, but there was still nothing, and finally he could only return to Zou's side.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside.
Zou's face turned pale, and his fingers tightly pinched the door panel. (To be continued......)
