Chapter 169: The First Word
It wasn't until late afternoon that Hatsuyu came back from outside.
Lu Guanlan had also had dinner at this time, and asked Ah Li to paint with the lamp in the courtyard.
Seeing that Lu Guanlan didn't seem to intend to ask himself, Chu Yu realized that he came to Lu Guanlan to return to his life.
Listening to Chu Yu talk about how to get to the palace gate, saying that there was something to be sent to the three highnesses, and how a guard who guarded the door came to take the box.
Lu Guanlan waved his hand to let Chu Yu go down and rest.
Chu Yu didn't leave, just looked at Lu Guanlan with some hesitation, as if he had something to say.
Seeing this, Ah Li asked, "Miss is a little tired from running around, so she understands you and lets you go back, what are you still doing in a daze?" ”
Chu Yu paused before he spoke: "Miss, the slave has a doubt, I don't know whether to ask. ”
Lu Guanlan put down the paintbrush in his hand and raised his eyes to look at Chu Yu, "What's the doubt?" ”
Chu Yu said: "Do you want to match the third highness with the second lady?" ”
Lu Buguanlan didn't answer Chu Yu's question, but just lowered his head and picked up the paintbrush again.
Ah Li said: "Miss has her own plans, these things are not for us to be slaves and maids." ”
Chu Yu had to bow his head when he heard this, "The slave and maid know, so she will retreat." ”
Lu Guanlan suddenly raised his head again, stopped the movements in his hand, looked at Chu Yu and said, "You want to know so much?" ”
Chu Yu was about to turn around, but when he heard the words, he turned his head and bowed his head towards Lu Guanlan, "The slave doesn't dare." ”
"That's it," Lu Guanlan put down the pen in his hand, "Yes, I do want to match the third highness with the second miss, I want to come, there are still many days to enter the palace in the future, if you want, you can also go with the second miss." ”
Chu Yu immediately knelt down and said, "The slave doesn't mean this, the slave just asks." ”
Lu Guanlan smiled slightly, "It's okay, I'm just talking." ”
After saying that, Lu Guanlan turned around, "Ah Li, I'm a little sleepy." ”
Hearing this, Ah Li stepped forward, "The slave maid is going to prepare hot water for the young lady." ”
When the words fell, Ah Li helped Lu Guanlan into the house first.
Chu Yu stood up from the ground and looked at Lu Guanlan's back, suddenly feeling a little apprehensive in his heart.
Did Lu Guanlan find something?
After entering the house, Lu Guanlan took off his coat and sat down on a chair.
Ah Li took the coat to the side of the shelf and hung it, and said, "Miss, what you just said seems to have scared the girl at the beginning." ”
"Scared?" Lu Guanlan smiled.
She felt that the first words seemed to have some meaning.
Although she didn't understand the reason for this, she felt that this girl seemed to want to enter the palace.
Today she said that she was going to send the things for Chengye to the palace gate, and this girl's eyes lit up.
Therefore, this girl has doubts about what she said, but she is also testing her, wondering if she will have a chance to enter the palace again in the future.
However, it can be seen that this girl is not a wild person, but she is not a palace person. As for who the master behind it is, she can't guess now.
Ah Li saw what her young lady was thinking again, so she had to reluctantly retreat to fetch some water.
After bathing and changing, Lu Guanlan lay down.
Looking at the empty room, I suddenly felt that I couldn't sleep again, so I simply got up and took out the embroidery thread in the basket.
At this time, a gust of wind blew from outside the window, shaking the green silk on Lu Guanlan's forehead.
For no reason, she remembered that day when she sat on the top of the mountain with Li Quan, it was also such a cool breeze.
Kazama had a light scent that she remembered vividly.
Will he like plum blossoms?
After a sleepless night, Lu Guanlan didn't fall asleep until dawn.
When Ah Li was serving recently, she saw a half-embroidered purse on the table, and on the purse was embroidered with a nine-inch plum.
Ah Li couldn't help but smile secretly and put away the scattered embroidery threads on the table. Turning his head to see that the young lady was sleeping deeply, he stopped bothering and walked out of the door lightly.
It wasn't until late afternoon that Lu Guanlan woke up.
After lunch, I heard Xiaoju talk about the haunting of the house somehow.
Lu Guanlan originally looked angry, but when he heard this, he immediately became interested and said, "Oh? And what else is there? ”
Xiao Ju nodded, "Yes, it was said that last night, many people heard Lingxiang's cry, and the cry was so scary that people didn't dare to sleep." ”
Lu Guanlan raised his eyebrows, "Lingxiang? ”
Ah Li also said: "The slave maid also heard about it, and they all said that it was Lingxiang's ghost who haunted her, and said that she died unjustly." ”
The conversation between the three of them was not loud, but the first words in the courtyard could be heard clearly.
Lu Guanlan glanced at the courtyard and watched Chu Yu sweep as usual, as if there was nothing unusual.
"It's not good to spread such a thing in this mansion, Xiao Ju, you go and check again to see if someone is doing something wrong, if there is really anything, then I will do another Dharma thing," Lu Guanlan retracted his gaze and looked at Xiao Ju.
Xiao Ju bowed her head, and immediately went out of the yard to investigate again.
Lu Guanlan stood up at this time, yawned and said to Ah Li: "Somehow today, my body is tired, I'll go to sleep for a while." ”
Ah Li hurriedly stepped forward to help Lu Guanlan into the back room.
"Miss, you are really, and now even Xiaoju's girl has been coaxed," Ah Li complained and helped Lu Guanlan to the bed.
Lu Guanlan smiled, lay down and said, "If you weren't smart, maybe I would have coaxed you." ”
Ah Li is helpless, and now she feels that her young lady is really becoming more and more childish.
The haunting of this mansion was originally spread by the young lady who asked her to do it, but now she wants to act in front of Xiao Ju, and pretends to let Xiao Ju inquire about the news.
Ah Li also understood that Miss was just trying to test the first words.
But she always thought about how Chu Yu, a girl with a few bones and bones, had the means to harm Lingxiang.
As if guessing what Ah Li was thinking, Lu Guanlan said: "If I trust people easily, then my life is not in vain?" ”
Ah Li was full of doubts when she heard this, "Miss, you say this, like an old lady who is over half a hundred years old." ”
Lu Guanlan smiled.
Isn't it an old lady, if you count the past and present lives, she is also a middle-aged woman.
In her previous life, she died at the hands of those people because she was too stupid, and if she was still fooled like this in this life, then she would really live in vain.
At night, Chu Yu in the maid's room had just freshened up and lay down, and suddenly heard the door as if someone had pushed it.
"Sister Xiaoju?" Hatsuyu asked tentatively.
Seeing that no one had entered the door, he was a little puzzled.
Usually at this time, Xiaoju should have waited for Lu Guanlan to come back, why is it so late today.
After listening to no movement for a long time, Hatsuyu sat up and looked towards the door.
There was no one in sight, and the door was not opened.
Seeing this, she couldn't help but wonder in her heart, so she turned over and jumped off the bed, gently put on her shoes, and leaned towards the door.
At this moment, I saw a figure suddenly flash outside the window.
Chu Yu immediately pushed the door and chased out, and saw that the figure was extremely fast, and jumped behind the high wall in a few clicks.
Could it be that there is a thief in the courtyard?
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard a cry from behind the wall, and the voice was desolate, as if he was whimpering and telling something.
She suddenly remembered that she heard Lu Guanlan and Ali Xiaoju talking about the haunting in the house today, could it be that this is the legendary haunting?
Thinking of this, she sneered and wanted to go out of the yard to take a look.
In the darkness behind him, two figures were staring quietly, and when they saw Chu Yu going out of the courtyard, two figures quietly followed behind.
As soon as Chu Yu arrived under the outer wall of the courtyard, there was no one to see, and the crying stopped abruptly.
At this moment, I heard a sharp voice coming from the wall of the courtyard: "You have made me miserable!" ”
Chu Yu frowned, looked around, didn't see any movement around him, and said, "Are you talking to me?" ”
The voice paused, and then said, "Who else could it be if it's not you?" Why do you want to harm me? ”
Chu Yu smiled suddenly, "Hurt you? Don't give me the ghost I am, I never believe that there is a ghost in this world, who are you, stand up for me. ”
When the words fell, there was another whimper.
Chu Yu seemed a little impatient, "If you weren't from the peach orchard and I found out, you would end up with that girl tomorrow!" ”
Where would she believe in any hauntings, if there were really ghosts, wouldn't the dead soul who died under her knife already take her life?
At this moment, there was a sudden light behind him.
Chu Yu turned around abruptly, and was stunned.
I saw that Lu Guanlan was walking over with Ah Li, Ah Li was holding a fire fold in his hand, and under the firelight, Lu Guanlan's calm face seemed more and more gloomy at this moment.
"What are you doing here at such a late hour?" Ali frowned and asked.
Chu Yu immediately knelt down and said, "Miss, the slave was just about to fall asleep, but she heard any movement outside, so she chased it out to take a look, so as not to encounter thieves." ”
Lu Guanlan curled his lips, "Really?" Then who is that girl you are talking about? What did you say happened to that girl? ”
At this time, Chu Yu suddenly woke up to the fact that he had been calculated.
Lu Guanlan didn't pay attention to the surprise that flashed on Chu Yu's face, but said: "It's just a kite, it stands to reason that ordinary people won't notice such a light movement, even if they do, how can a little girl have such the courage to chase it out?" Who are you? ”
Lu Guanlan's eyes suddenly became ruthless, like a demon from the underworld, which made people feel cold in their hearts when they looked at it.
Chu Yu trembled all over.
She hadn't felt like this for a long time, and the last time she was shocked by a look was in front of her master.
But somehow, such a little girl in front of her has a deterrence that people can't look at, and she doesn't even dare to look at her eyes.
Ah Li was already disappointed at this time.
This is just a trap on the part of the young lady, and if it is nothing, this trap will not hurt anyone.
But who knows, Chu Yu still fell into such a trap, and after all, he still became an untrustworthy outsider.
"Don't you say it yet?" Lu Guanlan looked coldly at Chu Yu who was kneeling on the ground, "If you tell me who the master behind it is, then I will let you go, as long as you don't appear in front of me from now on, I don't care." ”
Ah Li looked sideways when she heard this, looking at the quiet face of the young lady under the firelight, but she sighed in her heart.
Come to think of it, Miss rescued Chu Yu at the beginning, it was really out of kindness, and she was also merciful to be able to bring Chu Yu back, and now she has released such words, leaving Chu Yu a way to live.
It's just that Chu Yu failed Miss.
Chu Yu was also stunned when he heard Lu Guanlan say this.
Originally, I thought that there was really no way, so I kidnapped this Lu Guanlan and escaped from the house. But when Lu Guanlan said this, did he want to let her go?
The first words were a little hard to believe.
For so many days, she has seen what this Miss Lu has done.
Lu Guanlan is indeed scheming, but also resolute and resolute, and dares to act.
If such a woman is in her country, she will definitely achieve a career, and she is more likely to be a mother in the world.
It's a pity that such a woman is confined to such a small house, calculating with others all day long, and spending all her skills.
After being silent for a long time, Chu Yu sighed and slowly spoke, "Today, I could have killed you." ”
