With a different mood, Ling Xiao slowly put on his clothes, and then lifted the curtain and got off the bed, not calling Que'er in, but walked straight to the makeup and sat down, lowered his eyebrows and picked up the silver comb to comb his green silk carefully. After the middle of the night, my hair is dry now, but it is slightly damp next to the pillow, and all the water on my hair has soaked into the mattress.
Combing his hands, his thoughts unconsciously deviated again, always inadvertently recalling the scene just now when Lu Jingxing covered the two of them in a thin jacket and kissed her.
Lu Jingxing, are you deliberately retaliating? Revenge on my unintentional actions? Ling Xiao muttered in her heart, and finally sighed, raised her eyes to look at the mirror, when she saw herself in the mirror, her eyes moved, and then she understood what his last sentence meant, and her lower lip actually had two rows of shallow tooth marks.
This man is a dog, isn't he? What's even more infuriating is that she didn't know that she bit her. Could it be that I was just so addicted to that kiss that I didn't even notice it? Such an answer made her feel a little ashamed and annoyed, and her thoughts were completely confused at the moment. She never imagined that she would have such a day.
Love is this thing, once it is trapped, it seems that the IQ will be lowered, and she can only shake her head helplessly. She realized that she was getting deeper and deeper into it, and she loved him more and more. And he, isn't it? She was sure that he loved her, but whether he loved him as much as she loved him, it was impossible to be sure.
The silver comb was embedded in her hair and did not move, and she was losing her mind when she was immersed in the sound of rain, but there was a knock on the door, followed by the voice of the finch: "Second Miss, you need a slave to come in and help you." ”
Ling Xiao came back to her senses, turned her head and glanced at the messy ground behind her, just now the finch was in a hurry, and she didn't bother to clean up the overturned food box, and at this moment the soup flowing out of the food box had soaked a small piece of her bloodstained clothes. She replied to the finch, "Come in." ”
After getting permission, Que'er pushed the door in, and saw Ling Xiao sitting in front of the makeup realm in a daze, so she stepped over with broken steps, squatted down and took the comb from Ling Xiao's hand.
"Second Miss, your lips ......" The finch glanced up at the mirror, and the movements of her hands were also stagnant. But in the next moment, she understood what had just happened to the two of them on the couch, she quickly lowered her head, but her cheeks were already red, and she opened her mouth in embarrassment after a while, "No wonder Young Master Cousin seemed to be in an unusually good mood when he just went out." For this reason, Li Gongzi also asked him suspiciously why he went out for so long! ”
"I'll comb it myself." Ling Xiao behaved quite plainly in front of the finch, and after stroking his long hair to the side, he pointed behind him with his eyes, "You go and clean up the ground." Also, go out and tell them first, let both of them go back first, and talk about it later. ”
"Yes, slave and maid will go." The finch straightened her face, and when she hid the embarrassment on her face, she got up and walked out. She understands the intentions of the second lady of her family, and the tooth marks will not disappear, and it is estimated that the second miss of her family will not go out to meet people. The point is that this is too embarrassing, even if her young lady is indifferent, she will be shy. And if he is really looked at by that Li Gongzi, he will definitely ask her cousin Young Master Xingshi to ask for guilt.
At this time, the two were standing under the eaves to watch the rain, the damp autumn wind was blowing, the two of them were flying with black hair, and their clothes were hunting. This kind of wind made Lu Jingxing feel refreshed, the heat had gradually dissipated, and his mood became calm and peaceful. And Zhong Limu on the side, but there was a sorrow between his eyebrows, staring at a face, still worried about his sister and Lu Jingxing sleeping together, especially when he saw Lu Jingxing come out a little late.
As long as Zhong Limu thought that Lu Jingxing might have snooped on all his sister's privacy, he felt angry in his heart, but it was not good to vent directly at Lu Jingxing. After all, his sister herself said that Lu Jingxing was left overnight last night because of special circumstances, so what reason did he have to be angry at others? was really helpless, and this anger made his lungs hurt.
After the finch came out, she directly told the two of them what Ling Xiao had said. When Zhong Limu heard this, his expression immediately changed, he glanced at Lu Jingxing suspiciously, and then stared at Que'er's face in a daze, with a hint of eagerness in his tone: "Why do you want me to go back first?" There are so many things that haven't been figured out about what happened last night. Tell me to go back at this time, but something is wrong with Yu'er? Did you hurt yourself last night? ”
In this regard, Lu Jingxing was not surprised at all, his expression was indifferent, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he looked up at the rain curtain, which was very pleasant. Then he bent down and picked up the umbrella that was thrown on the ground by the finch, and after greeting Zhongli Mu, he spilled into the rain.
Seeing that Zhong Limu was reluctant to leave, Que'er had no choice but to open her mouth and come up with an excuse at will: "Don't worry, Miss, Miss is fine." It's just that now the house is messy and needs to be cleaned up, and it's really inappropriate for Childe to be in it, after all, ......"
In the end, the finch pretended to peek at Zhong Limu, and then quietly shut up, making a look of embarrassment. She thought that a shrewd person like Zhong Limu, seeing her expression, would naturally be able to understand what she meant, and there would be no other doubts.
Sure enough, Zhong Limu immediately understood the meaning of the finch's words, no longer argued with the finch, gave a few simple words to the finch, and turned to Lu Jingxing's fading back, the fluttering hem of the placket was slightly wet in the rain.
The finch looked at the two blurred figures holding umbrellas and disappeared into the doorway, sighed softly, shrugged her shoulders to herself, and was stunned for a moment before turning around and entering the house.
When Que Er entered, Ling Xiao was sitting in front of the desk and wiping the cold sword that had congealed with blood.
Que'er glanced at Ling Xiao, and then began to make up the bed, she didn't ask much about the assassination last night. She knew that such a thing should not be asked by her, and she was not in a position to take care of it, just do her part. As for the rest, those who have this ability will naturally solve it.
Not long after Lu Jingxing and the others left, someone brought a new breakfast.
After Ling Xiao had breakfast, he took a photo in front of the mirror again, took a closer look at his lips, and found that the tooth marks were gone. Then he found an umbrella and went out with Lu Li's sword.
After walking through a few winding stone paths, Ling Xiao entered the main courtyard. From a distance, she raised her eyes to look through the misty rain curtain, Zhongli Mu was standing at the door and staring at the void, thoughtful, with a faint sadness in her expression. He seemed to feel her gaze and looked at her. Seeing that he smiled faintly at her, and swept away the sadness on her face, she walked over.
Ling Xiao stepped under the eaves, Zhong Limu took the oil-paper umbrella in her hand, shook it lightly twice after putting it away, and rested it next to the wall, and then the two entered the house side by side.
Tea was boiling on the desk, steam swirling, and Lu Jingxing and Yan Linglast were sitting on one side. In the light footsteps, Ling Xiao saw Lu Jingxing raise his eyes and look at her, and the corners of his mouth were still pouting with a weird smile. After staring at him for a moment, she quickly avoided her gaze, her expression was calm, her steps were very calm, she stood beside him, and handed him the Lu Li Sword in her hand.
"Yu'er, do you know who sent you to assassinate you last night? Or do you find some clues? Zhongli Mu sat down opposite Ling Xiao, eagerly asking the question, stretching his neck and staring at Ling Xiao's face, eager to get some clues from this assassination.
Ling Xiao spied the urgency in Zhong Limu's eyes, but she only shook her head and said two words calmly: "No." ”
Last night, she heard the person led by the other party mention Zuoqiu Ji's dog thief, but she didn't want Zhong Limu to know about it.
Zhong Limu had a trace of loss on his face, lowered his head, but quickly asked again, "Then, what about those assassins?" ”
"All killed." Ling Xiao casually looked at the tumbling tea in the pot, and his tone was unusually flat.
Zhongli Mumu's eyes trembled, turned to look at Lu Jingxing, and asked, "Why didn't you leave a single living mouth?" ”
"At that time, the situation was a bit complicated, and in the future, I had no choice but to kill them all." Lu Jingxing frowned, expressing his helplessness. Since Ling Xiao didn't want to tell Zhong Limu about the mastermind behind the scenes, he had to help Ling Xiao hide it together. Of course, he originally wanted to leave two alive, but as soon as Ling Xiao made a move, in the case of losing control, those people had no chance of staying alive at all.
Zhongli Mu nodded slightly, he could also understand the reason given by Lu Jingxing, after all, in that case, anything could happen, as long as his sister was fine, it was the most important thing. As for the others, you can check again slowly in the future, there will always be clues. The people who dare to move their Zhongli family, especially his Yuan'er, no matter who the mastermind behind the scenes is, he will not let it go.
The short silence was broken by Ling Xiao's words: "By the way, how did the two secret agents interrogate yesterday?" She didn't want Zhongli Mu to hold on to the assassination last night, so she deliberately diverted the topic.
Hearing Ling Xiao's question, several people didn't answer for a while.
The look on Zhong Limu's face was a little weird, and after a while, he raised his eyes and glanced at Yan Linghan's slightly lonely expression, and hesitated for a while, but he still opened his mouth to Ling Xiao: "There will be no mistake this time, both of them have confessed, and the answers they got are basically the same." He is the one of the Seven Princes. And to be sure, they haven't passed your whereabouts back to Jundu so far. ”
Ling Xiao lightly fanned his long eyelashes, his expression was indifferent, and then asked, "What about the other accomplices?" Do you have a clue? She had no interest in the battle for that position, but it was still a hidden danger for those spies to stay, and she had to be interested.
"There are five people in total, one of whom lost contact with them half a month ago, and the remaining two died on the way." Zhongli Mu explained faintly, his gaze falling on Yan Linghan.
Zhong Limu knew that Yan Linglast was in a low mood now, and it was very uncomfortable to be feared, and that person was still his half-brother. Only Zhong Limu knew that although Yan Ling last looked a little cold on the surface, he was a person who valued love and righteousness. In the same way, he disdains to get himself into a fight, but some people can't understand him.
