Chapter 273: Step by step
After Zhuzi went back, she went to Lan Xin to return to her life, Lan Xin seemed to have some scruples, and she asked uneasily: "Are you sure they are all in the bamboo house?" Don't let people run away. ”
Zhu Zi lowered his eyes, because the candle flame was dim, it was even more difficult to see the expression on his face, "My subordinates are sure that the fire was very strong at that time, unless they have three heads and six arms, even if they have wings, it will be difficult to escape." ”
Lan Xin listened, and then breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes inadvertently swept over the face of the kneeling Zhuzi, and she was a little emotional for a while.
"Come here." Lan Xin supported his head with his hand and hooked his fingers seductively, "Let me take a good look at you." ”
Zhu Zi is not an ignorant teenager who is careless, Lan Xin's actions are nothing more than trying to seduce him.
Zhu Zi forcibly restrained the disgust and hatred tumbling in his heart, he knew early on that Lan Xin accepted himself to serve by his side, and his purpose was impure, but Lan Xin had always concealed it well, and did not let outsiders spy on her filthy thoughts.
Now she may feel that Bai Weiying and the others have been disposed of, and she no longer has a big trouble, so she has revealed her true nature.
Zhu Zi was silent, and when Lan Xin saw this, his brows furrowed unhappily, "What?" Do you hate me for being old? ”
Lan Xin said, when he sat up, took the bronze mirror, and carefully looked at the silhouette of the person in the mirror.
Lan Xin is the same age as Jiang Po, it stands to reason that she is already over fifty years old now, but she doesn't know where she got a prescription that can keep her youth forever, plus Lan Xin pays great attention to maintenance on weekdays, if people who don't know the inside story see Lan Xin, they will only think that she is only in her thirties.
"The subordinates don't, the patriarch is so honorable, the subordinates don't dare to blaspheme." Zhu Zi's voice was steady, and he replied without leaking: "It's just that the follow-up matter has not yet been determined, if something goes wrong, it will ruin the patriarch's big business, and I am completely for the patriarch's consideration." ”
Lan Xin's face was a little pale, thinking about it carefully, what Zhu Zi said was also reasonable, she lay back on the soft couch, and said with a sad expression: "Okay, I'm not the one who makes Zhi dizzy, you are tired today, so let's retreat first." ”
Zhu Zi breathed a sigh of relief without a trace, took a deep look at Lan Xin, and then turned around and left the room.
The fire on the side of the bamboo house was soaring, and most of the people in Miaojiang who lived around had also seen the fire last night, and when Lanxin arrived slowly outside the bamboo house, it had already turned into ashes, and as soon as he approached, a smell of burning hit him.
Lan Xin covered his face with his hands, coughed lightly, and said in a questioning tone: "What's going on?" Why did the fire happen, and how did you serve it? What about the White Girl? ”
When the people who were ordered to come to put out the fire heard Lan Xin's accountability, they knelt on the ground and replied tremblingly, "Go back...... If you say to the patriarch Hui, this fire is so big...... White Girl They ...... Mostly ......"
The man's words were intermittent, but as long as those who saw such a scene knew that Bai Weiying and they were afraid that they would not be able to escape, and they had already been buried in the fire.
As if he had suffered some major blow, Lan Xin staggered back a few steps, and Zhu Zi held Lan Xin steady in a timely manner, "Patriarch, don't be too sad, the matter has come to this point, and you can only mourn." ”
Lan Xin's expression was sad, as if he couldn't bear to take another look at the miserable scene, tilted his head into Zhuzi's arms, and commanded with grief: "Will ...... Bring the bodies of the white girls alive ......"
The word "burial" that Lan Xin was about to say was stuck in her throat, because the next moment she heard everyone's exclamations and Bai Weiying's faint voice.
Lan Xin looked over, only to see Bai Weiying, Zou Yu's body was already in tatters, and the bloodstained wounds in it could be vaguely seen, and Bai Chongming fainted directly, and it was not an exaggeration to describe the group with the word miserable.
"White girl, it's great that you're still alive." Although Lan Xin tried her best to make a surprise appearance that cried with joy, her expression looked somewhat unnatural because the development of things was contrary to what she had originally envisioned.
Bai Weiying just tugged at the corners of her mouth, and before she could open her mouth, she fainted.
"Patriarch, what now? Otherwise, let's settle the person properly first, and then ask what is going on when the person wakes up, otherwise, I am afraid that there will be a fear of life. Zhu Zi saw Lan Xin staring at Bai Weiying, who had "fainted", and stood in front of Bai Weiying quietly, blocking Lan Xin's sight.
Zhu Zi's words are reasonable, and after listening to them, others will only feel that Zhu Zi is not in danger and can handle this chaos in an orderly manner.
But Lan Xin was resigned, and even had time to be in a daze there, no matter how she said that Bai Weiying was also a distinguished guest, her indifferent attitude and her behavior of not caring about Bai Weiying and the others' injuries at all made people feel a little chilling.
Lan Xin didn't know what everyone was thinking, and her mind was now full of thinking about why Bai Weiying survived.
In the end, Zhu Zi "couldn't stand it", and took the initiative to beckon everyone to take Bai Weiying and the others to another clean place to clean up.
"Go down first, I'll call you if there's something to do." Zhu Zi walked in from outside the house and said to the maid serving in the house.
When only Bai Weiying and Zhu Zi were left in the room, Bai Weiying opened his eyes, "How about Lanxin?" ”
"She's in a rage right now, and I made an excuse to come and see you, so I was able to get out." Zhu Zi's tone when he spoke was a little joyful and cheerful, and sure enough, with Bai Weiying's presence, his plan was able to take a big step forward.
Bai Weiying and others "escaped death", this should be a thing to be thankful about, but Lanxin is abnormal, if it is analyzed by someone with a heart, it is not difficult to guess that there is something greasy in it.
And the most important point is that Zhuzi has made a good comeback in front of everyone, on this side is the indifferent and selfish patriarch, on the other hand, it is the people-oriented, benevolent Zhuzi, if there is really such a choice, which is right and wrong, it must also be a high opinion.
Zhu Zi looked at Bai Weiying's eyes in addition to appreciation, more admiration, Bai Weiying stepped by step, almost one ring after another, and easily damaged the feathers that Lan Xin cherished, this kind of strategy is really something that ordinary women can do.
"The first step has been successful, then it's time to move on to the second step." The curvature of the corners of Bai Weiying's mouth suddenly became a little narrow, this kind of cat and mouse game is really interesting.
