In order to avoid attracting attention, Rong Ruo picked and bought a lot of things, all the food was complete, and a whole carriage was loaded.

After the things were equipped, and it was time for lunch, Rong Ruo and Caidie casually picked the nearest restaurant, asked for a private room and went in.

Although this restaurant is not as luxurious as the proud building, the decoration is also very careful, the upstairs is not a partition, but blocked by a folding screen. The most amazing thing is that this upstairs is actually open, and the corners of the four sides are enclosed with wooden railings, like a gazebo with only a roof, and the eyes are open, and you can see the nearby characters and scenery in full view.

Even if the winter days in the south are cloudy and rainy, after Chinese New Year's Eve is the beginning of spring, when it does not rain, there is no wind, and it is not too cold. So Rong Ruo and Caidie sat down and looked around, very relaxed.

It's just that the two of them can't finish eating, so they still want seven or eight side dishes, a pot of good flower tea, and four small snacks, and the table is full.

"Girl, don't feel distressed, our prince is rich." Caidie sandwiched a chopsticks and vinegared fish, made her squint her eyes sweetly, and said when she saw that Rong Ruo didn't eat.

Rong Ruo smiled, where did she feel sorry for Mu Beichen's money, but since she was a child, she has developed the habit of paying attention to eating and using just right, "I can't eat and waste." ”

Caidie winked at Rong Ruo with one side of her glasses, raised her chin without a trace, and deliberately raised her voice and said, "The food here is too rough, madam, you can eat a little casually." With the help of his body, Rong Ruo changed his tone, and said in a very low voice: "No matter how you say it, you have to put on the panache of the richest man in Jiangnan, are you right?" ”

Rong Ruo knew that Caidie was made for 'people with a heart', and he didn't say more, anyway, all the things in the carriage were 'consumed', and he was afraid of wasting a few dishes?

After eating a cup of tea, there was a noise downstairs, the two stopped their chopsticks at the same time, Caidie smiled: "It's fresh, there was not even a ghost shadow on the street in this small broken place yesterday, it is so lively at this time, is it still a ghost fight." ”

Then, Rong Ruo watched the colorful butterflies happily fly to the railing like a flower butterfly, pull and look down, looked at it for a while, and then flew back, her eyebrows fluttered, she squeezed her eyes, and said very mysteriously: "Girl, guess who I saw?" ”

Rong Ruo put a piece of duck tongue on the chopsticks in his mouth and chewed it, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said calmly: "Lu Zhenyuan." ”

"Yay? Girl, in addition to studying medicine, have you also gone to Taoist temples to practice fortune-telling? Caidie hugged her chest with one hand, stood next to Rong Ruo, and lifted her long hair with the other hand, and the spring waves flipped in her eyes, like a willow that sent out tender buds gently plucked a river of spring water.

Rong Ruo lowered her chopsticks when she raised her head, and her right hand bent up and pointed at her ear, "I heard it all." ”

Caidie opened her mouth, she forgot about it, it seemed that there was something going on.

"What's wrong?" Rong Ruo picked up a cloth and wiped his fingers.

Caidie's eyes were shining, and she pressed over and said: "Lu Zhenyuan said that she was going to go into the restaurant to find something, but she met a gentleman who teased her, and now there are many people around to watch the excitement." "It's also funny to say, no matter where it is, there are always a few famous scenes, some gangsters molesting two people's girls, and a strong man saves beauty or something.

Rong Ruo stood up, and the two of them walked to the railing before stopping, looking down from above, they clearly saw a lot of people coming around, and they couldn't even see Lu Zhenyuan in the middle, and only occasionally heard a few discussions, such as 'shameless little prostitute', 'Look, seducing other men again', 'Death' and the like.

"Girl, what did you say Lu Zhenyuan was looking for, her cat? By the way, she was also in a hurry yesterday, and she looked like she was looking for something. Butterfly curled her hair, leaning on the railing like a boneless, tilting her head to look down, and the corners of her eyes flew obliquely with natural softness.

Rong Ruo nodded: "Possibly." The reason why she didn't rush to send the cat back was just waiting for Lu Zhenyuan to send it to the door, but why did she appear here, shouldn't she go to the proud building?

At this time, a very loud voice came from below: "I don't believe it, but I want to see how this little lady sucks up the essence of the master, hahaha-" The laughter was presumptuous and carried a lewd and taste, and at first glance it was a guy who was used to being oily and slippery on weekdays and wandered among the women.

"There are really people who are not afraid of death, as the saying goes, it is also romantic to die under the peony flower, I'll take a look, who is so angry." Caidie's beautiful eyes turned, slipped to the place next to the folding screen to block others from seeing, and as soon as her body turned over, the person jumped directly from the upstairs. Book 8

Rong Ruo didn't stop Caidie, she held on to the railing and walked to the other side, only then did she see half of Lu Zhenyuan's side face, in the crowd, the woman lowered her eyelids, her long eyelashes covered all her emotions, her face was slightly pale, as if she was frightened a lot, but whether it was the words of the man opposite who were getting more and more unbearable, or the pointing of the surrounding crowd, she seemed to listen, and as if she didn't hear anything, just endured it silently.

Rong Ruo leaned out a little, only to see the man in the middle, medium stature, not fat or thin, his appearance is also very ordinary, his skin is unhealthy white, but the color of the clothes on his body is bright, green silk satin, the workmanship is extremely exquisite, the only outstanding fear is that the two pairs of eyes are godless, blue eyes, at first glance is overindulgence, rarely see the day.

Seeing it like this, a green-haired turtle jumped out of Rong Ruo's mind in an instant.

The man seemed to be impatient at last, and grabbed Lu Zhenyuan's arm: "Go, go with the master, the master will help you break this curse tonight." ”

There was an incomprehensible laughter from the side, and someone dared to shout: "Second Master Chen, you are not afraid of the fox demon ** yuan." ”

"Whew! Stepping on the ground of Lanxian County, the lord has the sky on his head, even if the fox demon comes, he must serve the lord obediently. The man's greasy face was full of lewd and evil smiles, "Wait until you have tasted the taste, and I'll give you a taste when I'm tired of playing." ”

There was a burst of laughter in the crowd, some of them shook their heads and left, and some stood at the end and muttered: "What is the second son of Chen, it is simply a bandit and a robber, and it is better to harm other girls." ”

Rong Ruo held her chin and looked at Lu Zhenyuan, in this chaotic situation, the woman's tall figure was very eye-catching, she saw that Lu Zhenyuan finally raised her head, a little embarrassed yesterday, but she still said something calmly, and the second son of Chen who provoked her pushed her hard, pushing her to a strong man behind her, and there was a burst of obscene laughter.

Caidie was below, and glanced in the direction of Rong Ruo - do you want to save people?

Rong Ruo shook her head slightly, not because she couldn't save her when she died, but because Lu Zhenyuan had too many secrets, she wanted to see how this woman would resolve it in the face of this kind of scene.

"Yo, madam, you are here, but be careful, the fence here is a little loose, and the shopkeeper only said a few days ago that he wanted to rest." The second child of the restaurant brought hot tea, and when he saw that Rong Ruo was not in place, he came over.

Rong Ruo looked at the railing under the palm of his hand, it was a little old, but he didn't shake it just now, "Thank you, I'll walk around and eliminate food...... Little Er, what's down here? ”

The restaurant Xiaoer took off the cloth on his shoulder, habitually wiped the guardrail, looked down, and said with a headache: "Madam, look at this trouble, the restaurant business can't be done, it's not our snobbery, it's really Miss Lu's ......" Now whoever doesn't know who is in Lan County who is stained with Lu Zhenyuan will be unlucky, where do they dare to let her in the restaurant business.

"I don't blame you, but since Miss Lu is here to look for something, maybe something has fallen on you?" Rong Ruo sat down on the chair next to him, and tapped his fingers on the railing.

The restaurant Xiaoer shook his head and said: "No, she hasn't been here before, besides, her black cat is so conspicuous, and we can't hide it when we see it, it's an unlucky thing." ”

Rong Ruo looked at the restaurant Xiaoer muttering unlucky words in his mouth, and suddenly in his eyes, he was really looking for a cat, and said with a move of his fingers: "Second son Chen, is it the son of Chen Zhixian's family?" ”

"Madame is from out of town, isn't she?" Xiao Er of the restaurant raised his chin and looked down, lowered his voice and leaned over his head and said: "It is the master of Chen Zhixian's family, who is rampant and domineering every day, no one can help him, who dares to provoke him in the entire Lan County, that is, if Chen Dagongzi is here, he can still persuade two sentences." Speaking of this, the second junior of the restaurant grabbed the cloth and slapped it on the railing, and sighed: "You said that dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, how can a county magistrate give birth to two different kinds of sons, it's really strange." ”

Rong Ruo didn't pay attention to the restaurant's junior second's self-talk, and looked outside, at this time, Lu Zhenyuan and Chen Ergongzi pulled together, and there was no one next to her to help her, more of an interested watch, as if they thought that Lu Zhenyuan was a fox demon who harmed people in their hearts, then, no matter what grievances she encountered, even if she really asked Chen Ergongzi to arrest her, it didn't matter.

In the last blow, Lu Zhenyuan fell to the ground, her clothes were stained with muddy water mixed with the ground, her palms were broken, and blood flowed down her wrists.

She got up slowly, didn't cry or make trouble, took out a clean handkerchief and wiped the broken place, her quiet eyebrows and eyes were a little gloomy like a cloudy sky, and after looking around, her voice was like a gurgling stream flowing through fine stones, rubbing out a little bit of dullness: "Are you satisfied with me like this?" You can let me go, right? ”

is obviously in it, but she seems to be out of it, silently resisting the malice of the world towards her with cold eyes.

A contemplative light slipped through Rong Ruo's eyes, and Lu Zhenyuan looked submissive, but she could feel the strong emotions hidden in her heart, a kind of deliberate suppression, a temporary compromise after thousands of tempering.
