Lan's face sank, "What did you say?" ”

Cui'er seemed to realize that she had said the wrong thing, and she knelt down and kowtowed in fright: "The old lady forgives her sins, the maid is talking nonsense, and the maid doesn't see anything." ”

Lan Shi saw that she was panicked and didn't look like a fake, but what she said just now was clearly unintentional, she pondered for a moment, her face softened slightly, and asked, "Honestly, what did you see?" You can rest assured that no matter what you say, you will be forgiven. ”

Cui'er glanced at Lan tentatively, swallowed her saliva, as if she had taken a reassuring pill, and then said slowly.

"Outside the Lan Pavilion that day, the maid did see the eldest lady talking with Young Master Lou together, and the maid didn't care much, but Young Master Lou was holding the eldest lady's handkerchief in his hand, and the maid didn't hear anything from the distance, but looking at the appearance of the eldest lady——"

Cui'er couldn't help but look at Lan's reaction, and saw that the latter had been flat, so she continued: "Later, Young Master Lou and Young Master Xue lived in Zhiwei Courtyard, and the back door of Zhiwei Courtyard was not opened, but then it was opened for some reason, and the two young masters didn't have a key, this-"

"Later, the maid couldn't help but pay more attention, thinking that something good was about to happen in the Ling Mansion, and I often saw Young Master Lou and the eldest lady walking together, that's-"

She noticed that Lan's face was already sinking like water, and immediately changed her words, and said in fear: "Old lady, the maid has committed a capital crime, and the maid should not discuss the rights and wrongs of the master behind his back, but only ask the old lady to be gracious and spare the maid the capital crime." ”

Cui'er's head thumped against the floor tiles, and in a short time it was red and swollen, and there were faint signs of blood.

Lan's mind was upset. waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, okay, you step back first, this matter." If you dare to say it to anyone, I will pluck out your tongue. She stared at Truer menacingly.

Cui'er burst into tears, looked frightened, trembled with the basin of water, bowed and retreated.

*

After Lan left, the atmosphere at the banquet suddenly became a lot more lively.

Ling Yi stared intently at the chicken feet in the bowl, weaving fans and feathers waiting aside.

Zou greeted the female guests. While looking at Ling Yi, he saw that the latter was not in a state at all, and couldn't help but step forward and worry: "Fusheng." What's wrong? Are you tired? ”

Ling Yi smiled, "It's okay, aren't you busy eating, my aunt wants to drink." I can't drink it. Enjoy yourselves, and I'm ready to go back. ”

Zou didn't care about her rudeness, and nodded slightly, "Go back when you're tired, these guests can't be lazy, you can also see it, it's still busy here." You two clever maids, why don't you stay and help me. ”

Zou's voice is not small. Someone had already heard the sound and walked over, looking at the weaving fan and weaving feathers in amazement: "Sure enough, they look exactly the same, they are all smart, where did Miss Ling find them?" ”

Ling Yi smiled: "If you have a fate, you will naturally meet it." ”

The scene was indeed quite hectic, Ling Yi said to the weaving fan and weaving feather: "Then you two will stay, and you will go back when you are done here." ”

The weaving fan was about to refuse, but was pulled by the weaving feather, who respectfully said "yes".

"Pick chrysanthemums, send the eldest lady back." Zou instructed Cai Judao.

Cai Ju put on the lantern and waited respectfully in front, and Ling Yi followed with a smile.

Lan Yuan was quiet, and it seemed that Lan had fallen asleep.

"Miss, because of your aunt's birthday, everyone in your courtyard has been called to help, and there is no one to serve, so it's better for the maid to stay and serve you." Cai Ju proposed.

Ling Yi smiled: "It's nothing important, you go back, I don't need someone to serve here." Although he had a smile on his face, his tone was unmistakable.

Cai Ju didn't dare to persuade more, so she lit the lights in the house, and brought hot water before bowing and saluting: "The maid will retreat first, there are two third-class maids outside the door, if there is anything, let the maids report it, and the maid will come over immediately." ”

Ling Yi hummed lightly, and after Cai Ju retreated, he closed the door from the inside.

She wanted to wash, but half of her hair was scattered, she stopped, thought about it, combed her hair again, and did not sleep on the bed, but sat under the lamp and read, and when she was a little sleepy, she supported her head with one hand and leaned back on the chair to pretend to sleep.

The room was quiet, but somehow, Ling Yi always felt a little weird, Lu Xiaotian would not appear again after she went to bed, not to mention that Zhi Yu was not here, and it was impossible for him to appear here.

But this feeling of being watched lingers.

Ling Yi only pretended not to feel anything, as if she was asleep, and looked very quiet.

The lights were beating slightly, but they were not bright, and the room was dark yellow, and the silence made people feel a little frightened for no reason.

Outside the Lan Pavilion, the maid guarding the door had left at some point, and on the other side of the banquet, when everyone was drinking, a maid ran over in a hurry, with a frightened face.

"Auntie, it's not good, something is wrong." The maid ran too quickly, was hooked by the skirt, and fell down with a thud, but she didn't care about the pain, got up and ran in a panic.

As soon as Zou had just finished a glass of wine, she heard someone shouting badly, she frowned, and scolded: "What is so panicked and disturbing all the ladies, what should you be guilty of?" ”

The maid was sweating profusely, and she didn't care about begging for mercy, so she whispered a few words in Zou's ear.

"What do you say? How can this happen, can you see clearly? Zou was shocked and looked at the maid in disbelief.

The maid nodded in affirmation: "The maid is a hundred dares and doesn't dare to say such a thing, it's true, auntie, the maid knows that the matter is big, and he doesn't dare to inform the old lady, hurry up and report it to you first, you see-"

Zou's hands trembled a little, and he took a few breaths before calming down a little.

Some of the guests had already noticed her strange appearance and couldn't help but come forward and ask, "But what happened?" ”

"No—nothing big, just a small thing." The panic and stammering tone on Zou's face had betrayed her.

Weaving Fan and Weaving Feather glanced at each other, Ling Yi was right, the Zou family's plan was tonight, and it had already begun.

The guest obviously felt Zou's frightened, and took her hand to comfort: "What happened, say it, we have to think of a way, it's useless for you to be in a hurry." ”

Zou looked like he was about to cry, shook his head and waved his hand, "It's really nothing, it's just that Fusheng suddenly said that he was uncomfortable, I-I have to go and see, I'm sorry, please let me go and go back." ”

Cai Ju immediately stepped forward to help her, and Ling Hui gave Lingxiu a look, who hurriedly carried the lantern

"No need, you stay and greet the guests for me." Zou waved his hand, let the maid who delivered the news carry the lantern, and he and Cai Ju left in a hurry.

"Mrs. Auntie, the maid is worried about the eldest lady's body, let's go too." Ori Ha looked worried.

Weaving Fan echoed: "Yes, the eldest lady is used to us waiting, do you want to invite a doctor." ”

Hu Shi, who has been helping in the kitchen, happened to hear this when he was serving, and the plate in his hand fell to the ground with a bang, but he didn't care about it, and stepped forward and said urgently: "What's the matter, the eldest lady is sick?" ”

"I heard it was." Fan nodded.

"How is this good, I have to go and ask for a doctor, I'll go and call Mr. Liu from Xiaorentang."

Hu Shi didn't care what the others thought, and hurriedly said to the two sisters: "You take care of Miss first, and I'll come back immediately." Before the words were finished, the man had already run away.

Oriyu didn't have time to stop her, so she could only let Hu disappear at the end.

From this point of view, it seems that Miss Ling is really very sick.

The corners of Zou's mouth twitched, Hu's reaction was too fast, she didn't have time to stop it, but there was also a distance to Xiaorentang here, and when Hu's came back, the matter would have ended long ago, thinking about it, she left Hu behind.

"You also keep up, and you are used to taking care of it." Zou said to the weaving fan and weaving feathers.

The two said yes respectfully and followed behind.

The rest of the people looked at each other.

On the way to Lange, Zou walked quickly, maybe there was something in her heart, and she didn't find the weaving feather weaving fan that was deliberately lagging behind.

"Sister, what kind of medicine did you say she was selling in her gourd, leaving us behind for a while, and letting us follow for a while, but I didn't see what she was going to do."

Ori Yu was also a little puzzled, "I don't know, anyway, let's talk about it first." ”

On the way to the Lan Pavilion, on the side of the banquet, Ling Hui was inciting the people present.

"Ladies, this wine is almost drunk, I'm worried about something big happening to my mother's side, why don't we go and see?"

Someone agrees, someone hesitates.

"Since it's a matter of the house, won't it be inappropriate for us to go?"

Ling Hui smiled innocently, "Didn't my mother also say it, my sister is just sick, and it doesn't matter if I go to see it." ”

"That's right, Miss Ling Mansion is sick, since we are here, we have to go and see it, otherwise it will be like having no heart and no liver."

This is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, and most people here are very curious.

Although some people objected, it was always the majority who agreed, coupled with Ling Hui's incitement, in the end, everyone let their maids carry lanterns, and more than 20 people went to Lanyuan.

Cui'er had been waiting outside Lan's house, and suddenly saw a few beams of light flashing in the dark night, and suddenly a clever person turned around to push Lan's door.

Lan was sleeping in a daze, and when he heard someone calling in his ear, he thought it was Cheng, and said vaguely: "Put breakfast first." ”

Cui'er was a little embarrassed, and pushed again: "Old lady, it's a servant, there is an accident over there in the Lan Pavilion." ”

Lan Shi was a little sober now, and there was only one "Accident in Lan Ge" in her ears, she got up and said in a panic: "What's wrong?" What happened to Rangao? "The drowsiness is gone.

Cui'er's face was anxious at this time, with a crying voice: "The maid doesn't know, I only heard that something big happened, and I want you to go over and take a look." ”

Lan's heart was pounding, and he quickly lifted the quilt and got out of bed, he didn't even have time to comb his hair, and he was about to go out barefoot.

Cui'er stopped her, "Old lady, shoes, shoes on, you haven't put on your clothes yet." ”

Lan stopped and asked Cui'er to put on her clothes and shoes, and then hurriedly pushed the door, and as soon as the door opened, she saw a group of bright lights pouring into the orchid garden. (To be continued......)
