Chapter 253: Night Walking
Sir, sir! β
Lu Yuanwai was hitting Xing's head when he suddenly heard a knock on the door outside, "Master, the second young master has found out the identity of the troublemaker!" β
He stopped, threw down his stick, and said cruelly: "I'll teach you another day!" β
Compared with letting Deng Junqi obey the Lu family's arrangement, it is more important to find out who disrupted the marriage ceremony today, after all, if it weren't for this incident, Deng Junqi would be able to become the daughter-in-law of the Lu family today, and the Deng family's money would also be available......
Lujia Hall
Lu Yuanwai hurriedly came from the west wing, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Lu Jingye explaining something, so he rushed to him and asked, "Can you find out who is disturbing the wedding?" β
"Back to my father, I found out, but it's just ......"
Seeing Lu Jingye's hesitation, Lu Yuanwai immediately urged: "Now that the reputation of our Lu family is about to be ruined, you still want to shield that thief, isn't it really as your mother said......
"No, father, no!" Lu Jingye immediately denied it, "It's just that the other party doesn't seem to be small, I used all the connections in Red River City, and I only heard that the other party seems to be a person from a certain family in the country of water passing through here, and the other party doesn't want to say anything about the details." β
A family in the Land of Water?
Hearing this, Lu Yuanwai lowered his head and thought about it, although he didn't know about the situation of the various families in the Imperial Capital of the Water Country, but as a member of the Water Country, he still knew who these families were, and what the situation was.
But even if the big family is, can it beat the Deng family, the prime minister of the dynasty?
Thinking of this, Lu Yuanwai snorted coldly, and said disdainfully: "I don't care which big family he is, if it is a good thing for my Lu family, I will definitely let him go around without eating!" β
You must know that the people of the Deng family attach great importance to reputation, although this Deng Junqi was not born in the main family, but she is the daughter of a flat wife, and the main family of the Deng family has some relationship with the royal family, so naturally Deng Junqi who made such a mistake cannot be spared.
"Come on, help me send a letter to the imperial city quickly, I want to tell the people of the Deng family that someone came to deliberately sabotage the marriage ceremony today, and Deng Junqi didn't want to marry, so he hooked up with other men to sabotage it!"
Hmph, he wants to see how long this hard-mouthed girl can hold up if he smears Deng Junqi like this!
Lu Yuanwai was angry in his heart, and suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, and he was a little unstable under his feet, so he leaned back.
"Dad, are you alright?" Lu Jingye hurriedly supported him.
"It's okay, it's okay." Lu Yuanwai waved his hand, softened his eyes, and seemed to be extremely tired, "During this time, I just worry about your eldest brother's affairs, and my body is not as good as day by day, go and call your eldest brother, let him deal with it, remember to keep putting pressure on the Deng family!" β
"Yes, father." Lu Jingye lowered his eyebrows and replied smoothly.
In addition to seeing off Lu Yuan, Lu Jingye did not rush to find Lu Jingyi, but sat on the chair and drank tea leisurely. β
Listening to Lu Yuanwai's tone just now, he should be very anxious, he can't stand still, can he not be in a hurry.
Lu Jingye shook his head and said slowly: "The eldest brother is in the gambling house Yaxing Zhengnong, the previous gambling debts have been settled because of the framing of Deng Junqi, he naturally doesn't have to be a man with his tail between his legs, but people are like this, for the wrong thing, there are only zero and countless times, you said that if your father knew that he owed the Lu family a gambling debt that he couldn't pay off, would he faint in anger?" β
The little guy was obviously startled, his body shrank back and he didn't dare to speak, who would have known that the second son of the Lu family, who had always been gentle and obedient to everything in the Lu family, actually thought like this in private.
"Childe is wise, Childe is wise......"
β¦β¦
Lu Ping searched outside for a long time but did not find any trace of Ling Huqing, and there was no news from the princess on the other side, just when he was about to give up and was about to give up his head and hands, news came from the inn.
Sinan rescued the princess and has now settled in the inn.
He breathed a sigh of relief, at least his head was saved.
Inside the inn.
"Miss Sinan, you are really our savior!" As soon as Lu Ping entered the door, he walked towards Sinan, if it weren't for the fact that the other party was a woman, he really wanted to go up and give Sinan a big hug, "What about the princess?" β
Sinan glanced at the second floor, "I guess I was frightened just now, and I was tired all the way, and now I have fallen asleep." β
Lu Ping's hanging heart finally let go, he and Si Nan briefly talked and went to wash and eat, it was late at night after a busy day, Si Nan didn't want to disturb him more, so they went back to their rooms.
"Mother, we're going to dress like this...... Where? Si Zihuai looked at himself in a black tight-fitting suit, with bat-like wings under his sleeves, and his face was full of question marks, why did his mother always have so many strange ideas.
"Xiaobao, this is called a night suit." Sinan stepped on her last boots, straightened her hair, and felt very satisfied, she opened the window, "Okay, let's go." β
"Let's go? Where to go? β
"Of course, it's to meet Uncle Ling Huqing, and then we'll go to a fun place."
Si Zihuai's eyes lit up when he heard the fun place, and he was extremely excited, "Okay, great!" β
Sinan and Ling Huqing made an appointment to meet at the city gate at midnight, and when the mother and son arrived, Ling Huqing was already waiting there, he changed his clothes, and it was also black, but it was not as ...... as Sinan and them Specialized.
"What kind of dress are you?!" Hu Qing was surprised and puzzled.
Sinan didn't think so, for an ancient, she didn't expect him to understand the advantages of concealment, convenience and simplicity of making night clothes, so she just prevaricated casually, and took out a small porcelain vase from her pocket and threw it over.
"What is this?"
"Elixir, for healing."
Ling Huqing opened the bottle, and a rich medicinal fragrance floated out along the mouth of the bottle, and the moment he inhaled it into his nose, he could feel a faint fragrance, as well as the spiritual power brought by the rich medicine.
It's definitely a good medicine, but he's too embarrassed to use it again.
Ling Huqing immediately stuffed the potion bottle back into Sinan's hand, pretending not to care: "My injury has healed, don't worry about it." β
"Already?" Sinan smiled, "Big brother, I am studying medicine, can you deceive me?" You were already seriously injured, plus you were chased by Lu Ping during the day, and now you are Amitabha Buddha if you don't deteriorate, you are still getting better, should you be the reincarnation of Hua Tuo? β
Ling Huqing's face flushed, "Can't I have a strong recovery ability, but who is this Hua Tuo?" β
"That's it, I'm too lazy to fight with you." Sinan waved his hand, still stuffing the medicine bottle back into Ling Huqing's hand, "Do you think I like to treat you so much, it's not for myself, if something happens to you, it will also affect me and Xiaobao, if you use it, you can use it, how many things, mother-in-law and mother are like a girl." β
Ling Huqing knew that Sinan said these cruel words for his good, but as she said, the purpose of this night walk was dangerous, and he couldn't affect others because of his injury, so he thought of it.
"Thank you." He whispered.
This is the second time to use Sinan's medicine, last time it was a pill, this time it is a medicine, and they are all of the highest grade, he thinks that he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he has seen a lot of the world, but like Sinan, refining the medicine is so good, it is still the first one.
These two bottles of potions are sold at a high price no matter which store or market they are sold in, and he has to admit that Sinan's medical skills are also very powerful, so he is still very grateful to Sinan.
After Ling Huqing finished healing his injuries, the two officially set off towards today's destination - the Lu family.
"I have inquired, the eldest young master of the Lu family is named Lu Jingyi, this person knows martial arts, cultivates well, usually likes to write some poems and songs, and he has read some books, he looks good, and he is the son born to the main room of the Red River City member, so there are still many girls who are devoted to it, but it is ......"
Ling Huqing's voice paused, and then he said: "This person usually has a hobby and likes to gamble. β
"Gambling?" Sinan smiled, a little interesting, "What are you playing?" β
"Play everything, but it's not big, it's just a pastime when the nobles are bored, and it's harmless in the eyes of others, but he seems to be a little addicted lately, and he's getting bigger and bigger, and I've heard that I can always see him in the biggest casino in the city lately."
It's even more interesting.
"You say, a man who is obsessed with casinos and is bent on it, has time to fall in love?" The smile on the corner of Sinan's mouth deepened and asked.
"What do you mean?" Ling Huqing was puzzled.
"It stands to reason that with the power of the Lu family in Red River City, this Lu Jingyi should marry a girl from any family he wants, and choose whatever he wants, why doesn't he choose the one he likes to fall into?"
"I heard that his fiancΓ©e doesn't seem to be from Red River City."
"You see, you're confused, aren't you?" Sinan snorted coldly, "A man who only thinks about gambling all day long, how can other men who have no intention of meeting their sweethearts outside the city." β
"What do you mean......" Jing Sinan said this, which made Hu Qingwan wake up, "There is a problem with the bride who married Lu Jingyi?" β
"I'm not sure about this yet, so we're going to check it out." Sinan raised his eyebrows.
During the day, when she heard the people of the city talk about the marriage, she felt that something was wrong, and when she saw that there was no one in the sedan chair, she was even more sure of this, if this girl was really married to her beloved, how could she avoid it at her own wedding?
"However, listening to Lu Yuanwai's explanation, it was because the bride was infected with the wind cold and couldn't blow the wind, so she didn't sit on the sedan chair."
"Marriage in Japan is a happy event, the bride is infected with a cold, this is unlucky, the people of the big family believe in this the most, and it is the Lu family who is the head of the snake, how can they allow this kind of thing to happen, it is clearly a lie for outsiders."
Si Nansheng is a big beam, and the Si family is also a big family, because she knows these things best, which is engraved in her memory.
"What do you think is something else going on here?" Ling Huqing asked, but immediately felt puzzled, "Sinan, I don't think you are a nosy person. β
That's right, she Sinan is really not a nosy person, there is a high top when the sky falls, what does it matter to her?
