Chapter Seventy-Six: Sisters
"Fluttershy, Gong Rou took Ruan Xiaodie's hand, let's not be so rusty, don't bite a little Fluttershy, Gong Rou girl, weird and estranged, just call me by name, you can call me Gong Rou, you can also call me Xiao Rou."
Ruan Xiaodie, who was held by the hand, was a little flattered: "Actually, I also feel that every time I say a few more words, I feel a little rusty, then I will call you Xiaorou in the future, you can call me Xiaodie, our names are still a bit like sisters." β
Hearing this, Gong Rou also smiled: "That's right, it's a bit like a sister." β
"Okay, okay sister, I won't talk nonsense with you, I really have to rest." Ruan Xiaodie patted Gong Rou on her hand, ran to the couch on the side, and lay down.
Leaving a Gong Rou who couldn't help laughing, she muttered in a low voice: "Okay, okay, I'll sleep too." β
They both took a lunch break.
Let's talk about Lu Chuan's side.
After Lu Chuan got out of the inn, he went straight to one direction, walked for about two quarters of an hour, and finally came out of the woods, and after it was opened, there was a clearing behind the woods, and there was a hut in the clearing, and Lu Chuan walked straight in.
There were a few black-clothed people in the room, who were standing still, and when they heard someone coming in, they looked up slightly, and when they saw that it was Lu Chuan, they all knelt on one knee and said respectfully: "Little master." β
"Well, how is the matter for you to check?" Lu Chuan asked with his hands behind his back.
Back to the little master, the man in black led by him spoke. In addition to the people who were installed by Du Sheng's side, there was also the prime minister of the dynasty. β
"The Seventh Prince, the Second Prince, and the Military Department Shangshu, the chess pieces planted by several adults in Du Sheng are hidden deeply, and the chess pieces planted by others are all more marginal characters, only these adults have installed a few more favored subordinates around Du Sheng."
Hearing this, Lu Chuan fell silent: "Well, these people seem to have a hand in the murder of their father back then?" β
The man in black also seemed to have some mood swings, the sword in his hand shook for a moment, and after stabilizing, he spoke: "Yes, little master, these people can't get out of it." β
Lu Chuan suddenly smiled: "These people don't seem to be monolithic, I'm afraid everyone has people planted by the other party around them, as long as they are not united, we can always find a chance to break it." β
"You're talking about the little master." Several men in black responded in unison.
Turning his head to look at a few people who were kneeling on one knee, Lu Chuan ordered: "Okay, you guys go, continue to investigate, the alliance between Old Marquis Du and these people, as well as the evidence of my father's murder, I think there must be a secret hidden in Old Marquis Du's study, you find a chance to sneak in and take a look." β
"It's the little master." The man in black replied respectfully. Then they swept out of the hut one by one and disappeared into the woods.
Looking at the disappeared backs of several people, Lu Chuan sighed. I feel that I have a long way to go, and revenge really requires a long, long time of planning, a very careful plan, and strong support, and it seems that it is still relatively difficult at present.
Let's take a slow lead and find out the few people who killed my father before, and see if there is any evidence of rehabilitation, even if it is revenge, it must be justifiable revenge, thinking like this, Lu Chuan also left the hut in the mountain and slowly walked back in the direction of the inn.
Du Sheng sat leisurely in his room drinking tea alone, but he heard the little guy outside knocking on the door: "Gongzi, there is a letter from Hou Ye." β
Hearing this, Du Sheng's hand poured tea paused: "Come in." β
As soon as the little servant heard this, he opened the door and walked in, respectfully presented the letter from the old marquis Du, and withdrew.
Du Sheng took the letter, opened it, read it carefully, and found that his father was still a clichΓ© and wanted to let himself go back to inherit his position as the marquis. He didn't want to be confined to the Hou Mansion full of rules.
Every day, I travel the mountains and rivers, eat all the food in the world, and I don't know how happy I am.
After reading it, he gave up, put the letter that his father gave him, put it on a candle and lit it, and burned it directly, and he didn't take it seriously.
Lu Chuan walked downstairs to the inn, opened the door and walked into his room after going up the stairs, and did not go to see Ruan Xiaodie and Gong Rou, but thought that he might need to sort out his thoughts from the beginning, and then look at the methods and plans of revenge.
Du Sheng didn't know that he might have become an entry point for Lu Chuan's revenge, and he was still leisurely drinking the tea he brewed.
Ruan Xiaodie slept for a while, and woke up on her own. Ruan Xiaodie felt that she shouldn't have slept for too long, but after looking at the time, it was almost evening, and after getting out of bed, she walked straight to the house but saw that Gong Rou was already sitting at the table, and she didn't know what she was doing and didn't care about her first, Ruan Xiaodie ran to wash herself, and only after washing did she go to the table, looking at Gong Rou, it turned out that she was embroidering a purse.
"Xiaorou, do you still embroider purses? You're so good, I won't either. Looking at Gong Rou's concentrated embroidery on the other side, Ruan Xiaodie said enviously.
Wen Yan Gongrou chuckled, "What kind of awesome thing is this, many women can do this, although you can't do this, Fluttershy, but your cooking skills are great, I look forward to your work tomorrow." β
Listening to her encouragement, Ruan Xiaodie smiled happily: "Don't worry, I won't let you down, I hope you will like my cooking, among the four of us living here, only you haven't tasted my craftsmanship." You'll be able to taste it tomorrow. β
Gong Rou nodded: "If only I had met you earlier, the two of us would definitely be able to become very good friends." β
"It's not too late." Ruan Xiaodie smiled and said, "Now we can also be very good friends, isn't it Xiaorou." "That's right, I'm too narrow-minded," Gong Rou handed the embroidered flower to Ruan, "Fluttershy, do you look good?" β
Ruan Xiaodie took a look, but found a lily embroidered on it: "It's so beautiful, Xiaorou, but why embroider lilies?" β
"This purse is for you, Fluttershy." Gong Rou sat down beside him and explained.
"Lilies represent luck in my hometown, I hope my purse can bring you luck, and I hope that tomorrow your cooking competition can achieve a good ranking, I hope you can win the championship."
Hearing her words, Ruan Xiaodie was moved, except for Wang Mei, this is the second girl who is so good to her.
"Thank you, Xiaorou, I have received your luck, I will definitely be able to get a good ranking tomorrow, and if I am a little luckier, I may be able to win the championship."
"Well, you have to come on, although I am a judge, but I will not give you water. If you win with me, it must be your strength. Gong Rou said with a smile.
Hearing this, Ruan Xiaodie also smiled: "Don't worry, I believe that tomorrow you will be able to taste my best craftsmanship." β
