Chapter 106: Falling Overboard
Staying with Lu Yunqing, Li Yuan always felt that time passed very quickly, and it was dark before she could talk for many days, so she could only reluctantly leave.
The weather is in autumn, and the nights are getting cooler day by day.
After sending Li Yuan away, Huan'er brought a cloak and put it on Lu Yunqing, and said in a low voice: "Brother Wangchen is waiting in the courtyard." ”
Lu Yunqing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he walked back quickly.
Although Forget Chen is old enough to be Lu Yunqing's father, but there is a difference between men and women, Forget Chen will not appear in the backyard on weekdays, and will only follow Lu Yunqing to protect him when he travels.
Therefore, in the Hou Mansion, Wangchen is completely an idle person raised because of Lu Yunqing.
He has a lot of time, and of course Lu Yunqing is reluctant to let him be idle.
A moment later, in the courtyard.
Forget Chen's tall body stood in the courtyard, perhaps because the food in the Hou Mansion was very good, his spirit was much better than half a month, and his face was no longer so pale.
"How's it going?"
Lu Yunqing was not polite to him, and asked bluntly, "Did Lu Yuanhe notice that you were following him." ”
"He doesn't know martial arts."
Forget Chen replied simply, the meaning of his words was obvious, "Lu Yuanhe went out to a medicinal herb trading house, and I didn't go in." When I came back, I met a lot of people like you in private. ”
"People like me?"
Lu Yunqing squinted, and instantly understood what he meant, Lu Yuanhe saw those girls who were adopted by the Xia family, she didn't think it would be a simple chat.
She looks too much like her mother, is Lu Juncheng a temptation, or does he want to eradicate her directly?
Or maybe both.
"You keep following him, don't let him find out."
Lu Yunqing exhaled slowly, "By the way, figure out the industrial layout of the Hou Mansion." ”
Forget Chen nodded when he heard this, and left without saying a word.
Lu Yunqing watched him leave, turned around and went back to the house to sit down, slowly brought himself a cup of tea, and took a sip of tea.
The crisp aroma lingered in her mouth, making her thoughts clearer.
She didn't act rashly, just half a month was not enough for her to grasp the information, and in the familiarization stage, she didn't want any accidents.
But the next day, the accident came.
"Sister Yunqing! Sister Yunqing! ”
In the afternoon, the autumn was crisp, the weather was just right, Li Yuan didn't come for some reason, Lu Yunqing was resting in the courtyard, and he heard a strange and delicate shout from outside the courtyard.
Lu Yunqing turned her head and saw a charming girl who looked two points similar to her walking with an enthusiastic face.
Yun Jiaojiao, the godgranddaughter adopted by the Xia family five years ago, is fifteen years old this year.
Lu Yunqing's mind flashed
The information of the girl in front of her, but the small face was at a loss, vaguely with a little timidity.
"Sister... You are ......"
Looking at Lu Yunqing's timid appearance, Yun Jiaojiao's eyes flashed with disgust and disdain.
She thought of her ten-year-old self, as helpless as the girl in front of her.
However, after five years of noble support in the Hou Mansion, she has long lost those emotions that are not on the stage and has become a real Miss Hou Mansion.
Well, at least that's what she thinks herself.
Brother Yuanhe is really, just such a little girl, she can make her cry and call her mother if she deals with it casually, why do you need to be so careful......
Yun Jiaojiao thought so in her heart, but the smile on her face became even brighter, "My name is Yun Jiaojiao, my sister is not suitable for coming to the house, and it is normal for me not to know my sister." ”
Lu Yunqing nodded ignorantly, and then seemed to react suddenly, and hurriedly saluted Yun Jiaojiao, her movements were rusty, and she stumbled when she spoke.
"Cloud ...... Yun Qing, meet... Tender... Jiaojiao... Sister. ”
Why did you still become a little stammer?
Yun Jiaojiao laughed in her heart, but the movements in her hands did not stop, and she walked out affectionately when she turned Lu Yunqing.
"Let's go, go to my sister's place to eat snacks, Ruyifang just sent it, it's delicious!"
After Yun Jiaojiao finished speaking, she saw Lu Yunqing's dark eyes instantly light up, and the little hand in her arm was no longer so resistant, and walked out with her.
It's a good deception.
The corners of Yun Jiaojiao's mouth pulled a trace of arc, and then quickly disappeared.
Huan'er hurriedly followed behind, silently lighting a stick of incense for Yun Jiaojiao in her heart.
Seeing that a maid was coming over, Yun Jiaojiao didn't care, and pulled Yun Jiaojiao to the pavilion in a small garden near the east courtyard in the backyard.
There was really a table of dim sum in the pavilion, and the appearance was very pleasing, and it was very appetizing just by looking at it.
The pavilion is built on a suspended stone bridge, and the pond is filled with living water, and there are many carp in the pond, so it is indeed a pleasure to sit here and enjoy the fish while eating snacks.
Lu Yunqing sat down according to Yun Jiaojiao's meaning, and seemed to be impatient to take a snack and eat it, which was very unruly.
Yun Jiaojiao's gaze at her became more and more disdainful, but she didn't notice that Lu Yunqing paused slightly before eating snacks, sniffing lightly.
It's not poisonous, and it's not drugged.
Lu Yunqing ate faster.
Yes, she doesn't show much of a threat right now, not enough to have people poison her and poison her.
Besides, if this table of dim sum is poisoned and she is poisoned, the Xia family will soon find out who it is, Yun Jiaojiao is not so stupid.
Will you bring her out with a snack......
Lu Yunqing's eyes flashed, and he reached out and grabbed the teapot for himself
He poured a cup, drank it in a big gulp, exhaled a long breath, looked up and smiled brightly.
"Sister, the dim sum is so delicious!"
"Eat more if it's delicious."
Yun Jiaojiao smiled, completely relieved of her vigilance against Lu Yunqing, just like this, Brother Yuanhe also asked her to be careful, she really underestimated her.
"Yun Qing."
Yun Jiaojiao suddenly shouted, and took out a golden hairpin from her arms, and the carved flying phoenix on it was lifelike, and it was extremely expensive at a glance.
"This is a welcome gift from your sister, do you like it?"
Yun Jiaojiao said, stuffing the golden hairpin into Lu Yunqing's hand, "This is worth at least one hundred taels of silver, don't lose it." ”
One hundred taels?!
Lu Yunqing almost didn't break his face.
Yun Jiaojiao really treats her as a soil bun that has never been seen in the world, this hairpin is full of materials and exquisite craftsmanship, I am afraid it is worth more than a thousand taels!
At this moment, Lu Yunqing immediately figured out what Yun Jiaojiao wanted to do.
Blame for blame?
Who is this hairpin?
Several thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, and Lu Yunqing stood up with a "poof" of joy, and his crisp voice was full of surprise.
"Sister, is this really for me?! It's so pretty! ”
The fish took the bait.
Seeing Lu Yunqing's happy appearance, Yun Jiaojiao almost laughed out loud, and endured it very hard.
This girl is really simple, say what she believes and what she believes.
"It's so simple, Brother Yuanhe actually gave me a hundred taels, it's too profitable."
Yun Jiaojiao smiled and narrowed her eyes, "It's good that my sister is happy." ”
"Uh-huh!"
Lu Yunqing grabbed the golden hairpin tightly with both hands, and her simple smile suddenly revealed a hint of weirdness, which made Yun Jiaojiao's heart chill.
"Cloud ......"
As soon as Yun Jiaojiao said half a word, she saw that Lu Yunqing's face suddenly turned pale, and the golden hairpin in her hand was dripping with blood, drawing a long, deep blood mark on the snow-white lotus root!
Yun Jiaojiao was so frightened that her face turned pale, and before she could react, Lu Yunqing suddenly grabbed the placket on her chest with her blood-covered hand, and immediately pushed forward!
"Ah!!h
The terrible and frightened screams almost pierced Yun Jiaojiao's eardrums, and also resounded throughout the backyard of the Hou Mansion.
Thump!
Lu Yunqing fell into the pool, as if he had already said it, Huan'er, who had been standing silently outside the pavilion, suddenly shouted in a panic, crying while shouting.
"Oh no! Little Miss overboard! ”
"Come on! Little Miss overboard! ”
"Little Miss is going to drown!"
“……”
Yun Jiaojiao looked at the changes that had taken place in just a few blinks, and her whole person was stunned.
This...... What's going on?
"Yun Qing!"
Hearing the shouts, the people in the entire backyard rushed over to catch people, and the grandmothers jumped into the water one by one, and then just a moment, Mrs. Xia arrived.
The moment Yun Jiaojiao saw Xia's coming, her face suddenly turned pale after seeing the anxiety and anger on Xia's face.
Xia arrived in a hurry, and when he saw the little man fluttering in the pool water, his brain instantly "buzzed", and he didn't want to think about anything, so he subconsciously rushed over.
Fortunately, Huai Rong quickly stopped her, and reprimanded the grandmothers who were still on the shore around her, "What are you doing in a daze, all go down to save people!" If there is anything wrong with the little lady today......"
The grandmothers were so frightened that they jumped out of the cold pool water in autumn like dumplings.
There are many people and great strength, and it didn't take long for Lu Yunqing, who was drenched, to be rescued.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
Lu Yunqing coughed, spit out a few mouthfuls of river water, and the person also came to her senses, the cold water in autumn made her face pale, and her body trembled slightly.
"Yun Qing!"
Seeing her like this, Xia couldn't bear it, he didn't care that Lu Yunqing's body was full of water, and stepped forward to hold her tightly in his arms.
"Grandma, it's so cold......"
Lu Yunqing muttered, and Xia immediately reacted, "Huairong, come and help." ”
Under the rush of a group of grandmothers, Lu Yunqing bathed and changed clothes, and after changing into clean clothes, he was immediately stuffed into the quilt by Xia.
"Go and ask the doctor from the Imperial Hospital."
Xia stared at the side of the bed, his tone unquestionable.
Huai Rong nodded and went down, although autumn is not as good as winter, but the pool water is also very cold, the little lady is living a hard life outside, and her body is not very good, and she really needs the imperial doctor to take a look.
After Huai Rong left, except for Lu Yunqing, only Xia and Huan'er were left in the house.
"Yunqing, tell grandma, how did you fall into the water?"
Xia's voice was as gentle as possible, but he couldn't stop his anger in his heart, except for Yun Qing, there was only Yun Jiaojiao present, and this matter must have something to do with Yun Jiaojiao!
If it was really Yun Jiaojiao who pushed Yun Qing into the water, that girl was too scheming, so vicious, she hadn't noticed it before.
She didn't want to listen to Yun Jiaojiao's quibbles, she just wanted to hear the truth from Lu Yunqing!
Lu Yunqing seemed to be very scared, and when he heard Xia's words, he only cried silently aggrievedly, and the pitiful appearance of biting his lip made Xia's heart break.
It didn't take long for Huai Rong to hurry over with the imperial doctor.
