Chapter 17 - Do Something Bad
"Green? What is it to say? Gu Ruihan held the green belt and looked at it again and again. It can't be a hint of what I'm going to do, is it? ”
Gufu Lakeside Pavilion
"Miss, I found out, this Wang Yong was the guard personally selected by the Seventh Lady, it is said that Prime Minister Gu favored the Seventh Lady at the beginning, so after the first batch of guards given by the royal family arrived at the Gu Mansion, the Seventh Lady was the first to choose."
"Is there a problem with the other guards?"
"No, the kung fu is superior, although it is not as good as Chen Jing, but it is also very powerful."
"Such a coincidence? The first choice, so many guards, but choose one who has no kung fu? Besides, how did the guards who didn't have kung fu get in? Is there any other news you found? Lu Mengqi really doesn't want to paint anymore, sitting in the lakeside pavilion today, she can only write poems quietly.
"I found out, all the medicinal materials purchased by the family members who went in and out of the Gu Mansion were not unusual, the Seventh Lady bought the most medicinal materials, but it was the same as usual, the Seventh Lady suffered from coughing and asthma, and would buy a large number of medicinal materials every month." Li Rourou looked at the poems written by his own young lady, and the facial features on his face were all crowded together.
"That proves that it has not been planned for a long time. It can only be temporary, if it is Prime Minister Gu, then he should not let me go the second time. Lu Mengqi bit the pen and began to think.
"What second time?" Li Rourou was puzzled, and he never knew what Lu Mengqi was investigating, so he could only obey his eldest lady and let him check what he wanted.
"It's nothing, is there anything unusual about the maid of the Seventh Lady? If it's true that she suffers from coughing and wheezing, and the guards around her don't know martial arts, she can't be left unprotected by no one. Lu Mengqi said his speculation, if no one protects the Seventh Lady, it is better to say that there is no accident, if there is an accident, the Seventh Lady is not asking for trouble.
"Could it be that the Seventh Lady is a martial arts master herself? A hidden peerless master? ”
"Impossible, I can see the Seventh Lady at dinner every day, that body and bones, if I am a peerless master, I will be a fairy." Lu Mengqi interrupted Li Rourou's conjecture for the first time. "You can't be a master of poisoning, right? Whoever comes is not afraid, can be poisoned directly? ”
"Maybe, you see that the Seventh Lady buys so many medicines, even if she has cough and asthma, she can't finish it."
"Excluding all the impossible, the rest of the results, no matter how unbelievable, are the truth. The people in the mansion have no motives, so the only thing left is the Seventh Lady. Lu Mengqi pulled out another piece of paper, picked up the pen and began to draw a bunch of squares and straight lines.
"Meat and meat, you see, this is Prime Minister Gu Cheng's study, and in this direction, it is the bedroom of the Seventh Lady." Lu Mengqi gestured.
"If the Seventh Lady was in the room at that time and saw me, is it possible that she poisoned me?"
"Miss, what's wrong with you, who dares to poison you, this is a big crime." poisoned the prime minister's daughter-in-law, the general's daughter, who has such a bold son.
"Meat, let's go, let's go meet the Seventh Lady!" After Lu Mengqi finished speaking, she stuffed the finished poem into her sleeve pocket.
Seventh Lady's Bedroom
"Mengqi, why do you have time to come to me." The seventh lady opened the door and saw Lu Mengqi, and directly invited in. "Come, come in and sit. Dan'er, get some pastries. ”
"Isn't this missing you, Mrs. Seven, I've been busy treating Yuan Qing recently, and I haven't come to see you." Lu Mengqi still walks among the ladies occasionally, but since she opened the shop and made some money, the ladies rarely let Lu Mengqi come, and everyone hopes that she will focus on making money.
After all, the Gu Mansion is really not very rich.
"You need to take care of the shop, and you also need to take care of Qing'er's illness, so naturally you won't blame it. Just come and see me when you're free. The Seventh Lady poured Lu Mengqi a cup of tea, "Taste it, it is said to be from the Western Regions, and it tastes very good." ”
"Mrs. Xie Qi. Yuan Qing's condition is much better now, I want to ask Mrs. Seven, what do you think about Gu Ruihan's replacement of Gu Yuanqing at the beginning? "The Seventh Lady is Gu Yuanqing's biological mother, and her son's daughter-in-law sleeps with others every night, so she can't be without ideas.
"This is the master's decision, and I respect the master's decision." The Seventh Lady also drank tea slowly. "What are you asking for?"
"Oh, it's nothing, it's just that Gu Ruihan has been unhappy recently, and I want to fix him." Lu Mengqi casually found an excuse and skipped this topic as if she was haha, she was usually more eccentric, and she wanted to do whatever she wanted, and this excuse was not too abrupt.
"You are a young lady after all, don't be like the general acquaintance, he also obeyed the master's arrangement at the beginning, if you make fun of him, it seems that the master's original approach is a little inappropriate." The Seventh Lady touched Lu Mengqi's hand and comforted.
"Well, yes, so I'm here to ask you~" Lu Mengqi supported her chin with one hand, looked at the Seventh Lady, and smiled stupidly.
"Let's go back quickly, it's so late, it's late, I'm afraid Qing'er is going to find it."
"Okay, then I'll go back first, and I'll see you another day." Lu Mengqi stood up and prepared to go back with Li Rourou.
The night was very cold, Lu Mengqi walked briskly in the corridor with her hands in her hands, just wanting to go back to the room to warm up, but she couldn't walk too fast, "Meat, did you see it just now?" ”
"Attention, eldest lady, from the window of the seventh lady, you can indeed see the master's study, but the distance is still far away, and you can't really see it, you can only see a figure." Li Rourou bowed his head and spoke as he followed.
"Figures are enough." The expression on Lu Mengqi's face was slightly angry, but it was not easy to show it. "Go find someone, check the Seventh Lady, from birth until now, I want all the news."
"Yes, Miss, but..."
"Add money! Gaga Gaga! Take it yourself! "Lu Mengqi feels uncomfortable thinking about it, she has already spent a lot of money on investigating this matter." I have an idea, forget it, let's talk about it later, you go do this first. ”
Lu Mengqi went back to the bedroom, it was really cold at night, pushed the door in, and what she saw was....
"How are you? What about Yuanqing? ”
"Gu Yuanqing went to find Prime Minister Gu Cheng, didn't you call me here?"
"I called you? I didn't call you...."
"And you, the green belt that gave me during the day?" Gu Ruihan was a little puzzled, isn't that what he meant?
"What happened to the green belt?" Lu Mengqi was even more puzzled than Gu Ruihan, "Oh! Green, that's right, that store, only the green ones are gone, and the others are sold out. ”
Gu Ruihan only felt a burst of heat on his face, and he couldn't hang it on his face, so he opened the window and immediately jumped out.
"No, this guy doesn't think I'm going to have a night party. He's too narcissistic, and the night lover won't meet him at night, so he has to find a white and tender one, like Chen Jing. Lu Mengqi is right.
Chen Jing was born with white skin, thin and thin, never smiling, but he was born with a smile, his mouth always makes people feel that he is smiling, a pair of long legs are more conspicuous than the long legs of everyone in the house, and he can't take his eyes off if he wants to take his eyes off, compared to Gu Ruihan's face that seems to be angry at first glance, if you really want to find a lover, you are also looking for a man like Chen Jing, who looks obedient and well-behaved, and his skin is white and tender, and it will feel good to the touch.
Lu Mengqi was in the same place, the more he thought about it, the funnier it became, and the more he laughed, the more he felt that Gu Ruihan was outrageous. "He's too outrageous."
By the time Lu Mengqi finished cleaning up and taking a shower and lay on the bed and fell asleep, Gu Yuanqing hadn't come back yet.
When she got up early the next day, Lu Mengqi didn't see Gu Yuanqing, and the bed board next to her was also obvious, there was no one sleeping the night before, and there was no temperature.
"Meat!"
"What's wrong, Miss." Li Rourou heard the shouting and came in directly.
"What about Yuan Qing?"
"Uncle didn't come back overnight, it seems that he went out with the master, and when we went to find the seventh lady last night, the two of them had already gone out."
"Didn't come back? Didn't come back? "Lu Mengqi thought about it, isn't that some playing, Prime Minister Gu is not here, Gu Yuanqing is not there, so isn't there freedom left?" Is Butler Qiu here? ”
"I'm not here, I heard that someone suddenly came to visit last night, and then Prime Minister Gu Cheng went out with Steward Qiu and his uncle." Li Rourou didn't see Gu Yuanqing when he got up early, so he knew that his eldest lady would definitely ask, so he had already found out when he got up early.
"Hahaha the tiger is not at home, the monkey is called the king, let's go! Go cool! Lu Mengqi ate two mouthfuls of something casually after washing, and went to the yard with Li Rourou, and the two of them sneakily hid behind the rockery.
"Miss, Coach Gu is still waiting, you won't practice today?"
"No more practice! I've been practicing for more than a month! Can't you take a day off?! Yes? Lu Mengqi remembered that Gu Ruihan was still a little angry, fortunately he was interested in leaving by himself last night, if the overlord was hard, what would he do.
"Then I'll go talk to him."
"Whatever you say, just let him wait." After Lu Mengqi finished speaking, he signaled Li Rourou to shut up quickly, and made another gesture of "go forward", and the two of them slowly walked deeper along the rockery with their waists.
Until they met, there were guards and maids who had a private meeting.
"Ah Hua, this... This one is for you. "Ah Yang, this hairpin is so beautiful, you can help me put it on." "Oh, yes!"
"Good morning Prime Minister Gu!!" Lu Mengqi pinched her throat and shouted, so scared that the two people behind the rockery didn't want hairpins, turned around and ran.
Lu Mengqi was left alone behind the rockery and couldn't laugh straight. "Miss, it's not good for you to be like this." Li Rourou was a little unhappy, after all, he broke other people's private meetings, and the two of them didn't do anything hurtful.
"They were just discovered by me and scared away, if they were discovered by Steward Qiu, they would be expelled from the Gu Mansion with a cane, and after being scared a few times, they would not have a private meeting in the Gu Mansion." Lu Mengqi patted Li Rourou's shoulder and spoke earnestly.
"Let's go, go to the kitchen and get something to eat, I'm hungry when I walk around." Lu Mengqi walked outside the rockery as she spoke, but she laughed too presumptuously just now, and her steps were still a little fluttery, and she accidentally hit her calf on the rockery next to her.
Lu Mengqi only felt that there was a darkness in front of him, it really hurt to hit the calf bone, and his feet were unstable, and he was about to fall down when he saw his face rushing down.
Between the lightning and flint, a hand stretched out from behind the rockery, and a hand also stretched out from behind Lu Mengqi, one hand reached out to Lu Mengqi's waist, and one hand held Lu Mengqi's forearm.
And the hand that grabbed Lu Mengqi's forearm pulled Lu Mengqi back first, and with the other hand, he just pushed Lu Mengqi hard.
But the strength of the two people did not come from the same direction, a dull impact. "Ah!!!!!h
Lu Mengqi directly hit his head on the rockery next to him. "Plum Meat!! Gu Ruihan!! ”
