Chapter 261: Defenseless
Although it was a New Year's Eve, Ling Yi didn't really keep it until dawn, and after eating Gong Xiru's limited edition rice cakes, she was a little sleepy, yawning one after another.
Gong Xiru consciously got up and said goodbye, "I'm going back too, you hurry up and rest, don't really stay until dawn." ”
Ling Yi said yes on his face and let the weaving fan send the person out.
When the weaving fan returned, seeing that the tired look on Ling Yi's face was swept away, he became energetic instead, and couldn't help but wonder: "Isn't the eldest lady sleepy, it's better to go to sleep, tomorrow morning will definitely be an early wake." ”
"Sleepy, where sleepy, I'm not in good spirits now, this guy, I don't know what to add to the rice cake, and I don't feel sleepy at all now after eating." Ling Yi walked to the back room with some embarrassment, thinking about whether to let the weaving fan find a few books for him to pass the time, or paint some landscape paintings for pleasure.
Weaving Fan secretly said in his heart, if you dare to eat that kind of thing without asking, you are really not afraid of eating a bad stomach. There was some pity on his face: "Since the eldest lady is not sleepy, why is she in a hurry to let the Hou Ye go." "Gong Sheng, who is harmful, is also going to follow, she hasn't said enough.
Ling Yi saw through her careful thinking at a glance, just now she asked Zhi Yu and Lu Xiaotian to pass the time by themselves, and now there are only two people left in the house, the little girl is thinking about others.
This age is the easiest to fall in love with, and weaving a fan is no exception, once it starts, the heart can't let go, see it, think about it, don't think about it, always remember, and the heart is full of that person.
"If you want to go anywhere, go by yourself, I said. I'll give you a day off today. Ling Yi said with a smile.
The weaving fan was a little embarrassed: "If there is no one around the eldest lady to serve, the maid will be even more worried." ”
"You can rest assured that something can happen in this house." Ling Yi said with a smile.
Here's what she said. The weaving fan was a little shaken in his heart, "That-"
"Go, go, go." Ling Yi waved his hand.
The weaving fan was happy in his heart, bowed respectfully, and said a few words of New Year's blessings, and then went out unhurriedly, but as soon as the hind feet stepped out of the door, people rushed away. In the blink of an eye, it was gone.
Ling Yi smiled, thinking that she was really in no mood to draw, so she took the book and read it. I didn't see much effort, and the candle next to my elbow jumped violently, and then a slight cool breeze blew behind me.
She was silent. Turn the next page. It seems to be quite interesting to watch.
Seeing that she didn't move, the people behind Xu is couldn't help but say, "In the middle of the night, you're fascinated by reading this book." ”
Ling Yi's eyelids moved slightly, but he didn't make a sound, completely ignoring the people behind him.
The person behind him frowned slightly, as if he didn't give up, and walked directly in front of Ling Yi, and the tall figure blocked the faint light of the candle.
Ling Yi had to raise her head. There was no surprise in his eyes.
"You know I'm coming?" Gong Yunrui asked with some disbelief.
Ling Yi put down the book with a smile and raised her chin towards the seat opposite: "Sit." Don't stand. ”
Gong Yunrui didn't like to see her calm appearance the most, he had also secretly observed it countless times, and knew that if there was such an expression, it meant that Ling Yi was facing him with a hostile attitude, which was to prevent him.
Ling Yi's expression remained unchanged, neither panicked nor surprised, and said with a slight smile: "Your eldest brother didn't go back to accompany the elder to celebrate the New Year, you must know that he came to me, judging from your 'concern' for your eldest brother, it's not difficult to guess when you come to find out, but you also saw that your eldest brother has already left, if you come to witness something, it will be too late." ”
Gong Yunrui clenched his fists, "Do you really think I'm here to grab your handle?" The eldest brother came from afar, and even regardless of the reproach of the elders, he wanted to give you rice cakes to eat, and if it was me, this thing would become a poison that harmed people. ”
He angrily took out an oiled paper bag, which was not sealed properly, and with the force of falling on the table, it spread out, revealing a few shortbreads, smelling the smell Ling Yi also knew that it was his favorite food.
"This family has already gone back to their hometown for the New Year, didn't you tie someone else?" She sneered.
Some things, even if they happened in a previous life, can't be undone. If you have done it, you have done it, and if you hurt it, you will be harmed, and there is no logic of beating a stick and giving a sweet date.
What's more, in this life, Gong Yunrui has never shown mercy to his subordinates, not only will he not, but I am afraid that after tonight, it will be even worse.
On the one hand, she wants to hurt you, and on the other hand, she has to pity you, this kind of logic will definitely not work here in Ling Yi, and she is not so simple as thinking that Gong Yunrui really came to give her a few shortbreads.
Seeing that she was indifferent, Gong Yunrui's eyes darkened a little, threw the shortbread directly out of the window, and said coldly: "Since you don't like it, then I haven't been here, no matter what you think in your heart, I just want to come and say hello to you." ”
"Since that's the case, then I will understand it, it's getting late, the second young master should go back early." Ling Yi coldly gave the order to evict the guest.
Gong Yunrui noticed that someone outside was coming with a lantern, hesitated for a moment, and finally left through the back window.
"Miss, the old lady just lay down, let the old slave come and tell you, don't be tired, hurry up and rest, the old man is also asleep." Cheng's mother entered the house and said respectfully.
Being seen by Gong Yunrui like this, Ling Yi didn't have the heart to read, got up and said, "I'm going to sleep, my mother turned around and asked people to seal the outside of my window, and in addition, the skylight on the roof was also sealed." ”
Cheng's mother was puzzled: "The windows are sealed from the outside, the eldest lady is-"
"It's cold, and the cold wind always pours in from the outside, seals it, and then takes it down in the summer."
Cheng's mother didn't ask any more questions, said a good break, and left with the lantern.
Ling Yiyi lay down, wondering if anyone would suddenly appear in the house, and next time she must tell Lu Xiaotian that she can't come in through the skylight anyway, lest her boudoir will soon become a street shop.
I was thinking about it in my head, and I quickly fell asleep.
When Gong Yunrui returned to the palace, Ji Lao was counting Gong Xiru. Said how he shouldn't have let the elders wait.
When Ji Lao saw Gong Yunrui walking in, he frowned and asked, "Why did you go out for so long?" Where did you stay again? ”
This tone was actually a little harsher than that of Shuluo Palace Xiru, and even with a hint of contempt and contempt.
Gong Yunrui had long been used to it, and explained softly: "My father asked me to prepare a gift for a powerful person, and the framed picture frame was damaged, so I asked someone to replace it." so as not to delay the things of tomorrow. ”
Ji Lao's face softened a little, and he was interrupted by Gong Yunrui. He didn't want to reprimand Gong Xiru anymore, and ordered the latter to sit in his seat.
When he looked at the other patriarch, he caught a glimpse of a figure outside the door. He asked, "Is there anyone outside the door?" ”
Gong Yunrui's face changed slightly, and when he looked back, he didn't see anyone coming out, so he smiled and said, "Is the old ancestor wrong?" There was no one outside. The maids and maids all went to get red envelopes. ”
Ji Lao showed a little suspicion on his face, stared at it for a while, and then felt that he was dazzled, so he turned his head and said this to the old man next to him.
There is an unwritten rule in the palace family that every year the New Year is observed, and the eldest son and grandson of the relatives must accompany the elders to keep the son before resting.
Gong Yunrui is the second son, although he is also a descendant. But I just don't have that identity here to accompany these elders to keep the New Year.
Ji Lao saw that Gong Xiru was seated, so he said to Gong Yunrui: "Okay." Go and rest. ”
Gong Yunrui's face was the same, and he retreated respectfully.
After he walked out of the hall, the smile on his face gradually became cold, and finally said to the air expressionlessly: "Can you find it?" ”
The blood fox came out of the darkness and whispered, "There is no one in the house. ”
"Are you sure?"
"My subordinates are sure, this is the New Year, I'm afraid I don't know where to go."
"Then how to do it, you don't need me to teach you, right?" Gong Yunrui said lightly.
The blood fox nodded slightly, "My subordinates will go." ”
Ling Yi slept in a daze and grogginess, but she felt that someone was moving her body, and the weaving fan and weaving feather would not casually carry her out of bed.
She wanted to struggle, but she felt as if all her strength had been drained, her hands and feet were weak, and she didn't even have the strength to open her eyelids.
Ling Yi was shocked in her heart, and in her faint consciousness, she knew that she was being 'transported' somewhere, but where would she go? And who is it? At this moment, she could only think of Gong Yunrui's inexplicable visit, and she only felt that she was too careless, although she was guarding against it, she didn't prevent it to this point.
Gradually, the faint consciousness was gone, and the mind was blank, and it was really unconscious.
Since there were many guests coming and going on the first day of the new year, the masters woke up early, and Weaving Yu and Weaving Fan knocked on Ling Yi's door with a basin in their hands and a towel in their hands.
"Miss, the servants are waiting for you to get up." Ori Yu called softly.
Ling Yi has been sleeping lightly, in the past, when she screamed like this, Ling Yi in the house would hear it, but today she called a few times in a row, and she didn't listen to anyone inside.
When the two of them came back last night, the lights in Ling Yi's house went out, obviously they had already fallen asleep, so the two of them didn't bother.
Weaving Yu was a little panicked in his heart, and said to Weaving Yu: "Open the door." ”
Weaving Fan hurriedly pushed open the door, and the two of them entered the house together, but when they saw that there was no one on the bed, the basin in Zhiyu's hand fell to the ground with a bang, and he looked at Weaving Fan in panic and said, "Hurry up and inform the old lady, the eldest lady is gone." ”
Ling Yi will definitely not go home overnight, even if the latter gets up early, he will not let the quilt be messy on the bed.
If such abnormalities don't explain the problem, then the shoes lying around the bed are more convincing.
If Ling Yi got up early and went out, she would definitely put on her shoes and socks, but the shoes and socks were so messily placed on the ground, and one of them even seemed to be kicked in the corner of the wall.
"The eldest lady is likely to have been kidnapped by gangsters, you go and inform the old lady, I will report to the master, I was taken away on the first day of the new year, this is a big deal." Oriha's face turned pale.
Weaving Fan lost the handkerchief in his hand and ran out, and Weaving Feather also followed, one of them ran towards the inner courtyard, and the other ran outside.
But Ling Yi didn't know how long she had been asleep, but she felt that she was suddenly hit by a cold wind all over her body, she shivered coldly, and the person also woke up.
When I first woke up, my mind hadn't turned a corner, thinking that I was still in my room, but whether it was the bed curtain or everything outside, it was so unfamiliar.
There was an unfamiliar smell rushing through his nose, which was not the usual scent in his house.
Ling Yi was excited, and her paused brain quickly rejoiced, recalling the strangeness of last night, she only felt that her hands and feet were cold and shivering, it seemed that she had been taken captive to this strange place.
Reflexively looked at the clothes on his body, fortunately they were still intact on his body, and the tense nerves finally relaxed a little.
A familiar voice came from outside the door: "Girl, are you awake?" ”
The maid shook her head: "I didn't hear any movement in the house." ”
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Ling Yi lay down quietly, quietly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
Gong Yunrui walked lightly to the bedside, the curtain was lifted, he quietly looked at Ling Yi's sleeping face, his heart was rippling, such a beautiful face, if he could open his eyes every day and see it, how good it would be.
Xu is light from the outside came in, Ling Yi frowned slightly, and turned over with a snort, turning his back to Gong Yunrui.
This kind of Ling Yi, Gong Yunrui has never seen it, he only feels extremely happy in his heart, he lowered the curtain down, and stood still for a moment before putting it down again, followed by the sound of footsteps far away.
Ling Yi's clenched fists loosened a little, and when the voice of "let her sleep for a while, wait for those people to come" came from outside the door, she opened her eyes and suddenly felt a cold sweat on her body.
The maid who guarded the door said respectfully.
Ling Yi quietly got up and sat on the bed in deep thought.
Why did Gong Yunrui kidnap her? Who are those people? This is obviously a palace, what will happen if you 'wake up' later?
She had already had bad words with Gong Yunrui at the beginning, and if she was found walking out of Gong Yunrui's house in rags again, it would really be over.
Looking at the sky, at this time, the two of them should have discovered their "disappearance", and they only hope that there will be no big disturbance in the house, otherwise it will not be able to end.
Although she knew that it was unlikely, Ling Yi still glanced under the bed, and sure enough, her shoes and socks were not there.
She went to bed barefoot, and she didn't care about the coldness underneath, so she carefully opened the curtain of the door and saw that the door of the outer room was closed, and then she relaxed a little.
Pacing back and forth in the house, thinking about how to escape. But in this room, there is not even an exit to get out.
Ling Yi opened the door curtain again, quietly walked outside, and came to the door, from the crack in the door, she could see that there were two people standing outside, she was a little anxious, she couldn't get out of the house, so she could only wait for the people outside to come in.
Just thinking about it, he heard the voice of an old dragon bell sounding outside: "What's the matter with Wenyu, he should have gotten up a long time ago, why is he still sleeping." ”
Although this old man didn't know who it was, Ling Yi knew that he must not be allowed to see him in Gong Yunrui's house.
The maid outside the door looked a little flustered in her tone, and stammered: "The second young master-the second young master has already gotten-up." ”
"Well, why didn't I see anyone? This relative is about to come over, but he didn't see him come out to meet people, and those who didn't know thought that my palace family had no tutor, and I didn't even know how to teach a child this basic etiquette, which was embarrassing. The old man was dissatisfied, and pushed the door vigorously without hesitation.
Ling Yi, who was standing at the door, only felt a burst of light in front of him, and his heart instantly cooled by half. (To be continued.) )
