893 Reckoning
Unlike other places, the interior of the pavilion was slightly cramped and lacked with window lattices, and as soon as the door was pushed open, she smelled a nose of wine.
There are a lot of guests in the house tonight, in order to entertain the guests, the crane tower is also lit up at this time, including this warm pavilion.
Xu Wanxi had subconsciously paused outside the door, and while exploring the room with her eyes, she asked, "Is there anyone here?" ”
The maid's expression changed slightly, and she looked over busily, and said with a smile: "No one." ”
The room was quiet, and it really didn't look like there were people.
Xu Wanxi looked at the screen with a picture of a white crane and said, "You go in first and take a look-"
If a drunken guest accidentally broke into this place, it would be inappropriate for her to rush in.
Again......
Xu Wanxi turned her head to look at the maid with some suspicion.
And it was at this time that the other party suddenly reached out and pushed her back and vigorously pushed her into the warm pavilion!
The maid gritted her teeth and quickly closed the two doors from the outside.
She didn't want to do this, but the second girl was so vigilant, she had no other way.
"Which yard are you? What's the intention? Hurry up and open the door for me! ”
Xu Wanxi's angry and anxious voice came from inside the house.
The maid grasped the knockers of the two doors that were shaking with one hand, and with the other hand felt for the large lock that had been prepared, and locked the door from the outside with trembling all her body.
"Open the door!"
Xu Wanxi heard the sound of locking, and she was sweating all over.
"Is there anyone?"
"Second brother!"
“……”
"Help!"
Xu Wanxi, who was so anxious that she wanted to curse, shouted vigorously.
Because she knew that even if she scolded the maid to the bloody point and greeted her ancestors one by one, the other party would not be able to open the door for her because of her conscience.
It's better to save your strength and try to see if you can call the second brother over.
The maid who crouched under the porch heard her shout louder than she could, and her clenched hands trembled with fear.
Wait a little longer, wait a little longer......
Not far from the pool, several sons and daughters were laughing when they talked about interesting things in Beijing recently.
"Wait......" Xu Yongning suddenly said.
The rest of the group stopped laughing and looked at him in bewilderment.
"Did you hear what seemed to be someone shouting for help?" Xu Yongning looked in the direction of the crane tower and said with a frown.
"No, did Xu Ergongzi listen to the mistake?"
"Yes, it's so dignified, how can anyone shout for help?"
At this time, there was another group of people in front of them, talking as they walked, and it became a little noisy for a while.
Xu Yongning smiled and said, "Maybe I heard it wrong." ”
Today is my grandfather's birthday, and it really "shouldn't" be someone shouting for help-
But he still avoided a few people, and made his personal servant go to the crane tower to find out.
If there is really something, although it is not appropriate to make a noise, it must be dealt with in a timely manner.
After a while, the little maid turned back and whispered in Xu Yongning's ear: "Childe, it's not a big deal, it's a maid who walked at night without looking carefully, accidentally broke her foot, and couldn't get up for a while, so she screamed twice because she was afraid." ”
Xu Yongning nodded clearly.
It's good that nothing happens.
And he didn't have time to think about anything else, when he saw a few elders coming towards him, he hurriedly led people forward to salute and speak.
Outside the warm pavilion, the maid listened to the faint cries for help in the room with bated breath, and her heart, which was beating wildly, gradually settled down a lot.
The second son of Fang Cai sent someone to ask, but he was almost exposed......
Fortunately, the medicine finally worked, so that the second girl lost the strength to scream.
After listening quietly for a while, seeing that the movement in the room was getting smaller and smaller, the maid estimated that it was almost enough, and then stepped forward to open the lock, and then threw the lock and the key in the deep well in the backyard.
After doing all this, the maid hurriedly left the Crane Tower.
In the warm pavilion, Xu Wanxi fell to the ground and hammered her increasingly groggy head with her hand.
Even if she has no experience in this area, she knows that her physical condition is not normal, and she is afraid that she is very likely to be drugged-
She bit her lower lip, trying to sober herself with pain, and struggled to move behind the screen.
She had no strength to call for help, but she had to figure out what was going on in the room.
Behind the screen is a low couch on which a young man lies.
It's Zhu Xizhou......
Xu Wanxi's eyes changed, she gritted her teeth to prop up her upper body, raised her hand and patted the other party's head.
"Hey, wake up!"
Zhu Xizhou, who was in a coma, frowned, but still couldn't open his eyes.
Xu Wanxi grabbed the tea cup on the side and splashed the already cooled tea on her face, and suddenly felt a lot more sober.
Then, he poured the whole pot of tea on Zhu Xizhou's head, who was lying on the low couch.
The coldness invaded, and Zhu Xizhou suddenly opened his eyes and took a few deep breaths.
Everything around him made him have a brief moment of surprise and confusion, but the headache reminded him of what had happened before-
He was already not drinking well, but tonight he was in a very bad mood and was a little out of proportion, and no one dissuaded him, so he got drunk......
Then it seemed that someone had helped him away......
"You're awake! Why are you here? ”
Xu Wanxi said in an anxious but weak tone: "Someone tricked me here...... There is a lock on the outside, do you know who did it? ”
If it weren't for the fact that the other party seemed to be really drunk, she would even suspect that the person in front of her couldn't ask for it because he had delusions about her, so he wanted to ruin her reputation and force her to marry.
"I don't know ......"
Zhu Xizhou's voice was hoarse and weak.
Is there someone who wants to borrow him to calculate Miss Xu's second girl?
He was not stupid, and in a short moment, he almost thought of what would happen if the other party succeeded......
"Then you have an idea...... Something doesn't seem quite right in this room......"
The more Xu Wanxi spoke, the lower her voice became, and her vision began to blur, as if she was about to fall into a deep sleep in the next moment.
Zhu Xizhou subconsciously raised his hand and reached into his arms and took out a very small porcelain bottle.
He brought the porcelain vase to his nose, and the cool mint and camphor incense were inhaled into his nose, making his mind much clearer.
He has always been cautious and self-controlled, and he is not good at drinking, so that every time he has a banquet, he will be used to carrying this refreshing and refreshing thing.
I didn't expect this to come in handy at this time.
After taking a few more deep breaths, he sat up and looked at Xu Wanxi, who was leaning against the foot of the couch and closed his eyes but still frowning.
He subconsciously handed over the porcelain vase in his hand, and then the sentence "Second Miss Xu" came to his mouth, but he was inexplicably choked in his throat.
“……”
It was so quiet that the candles that were about to burn out flickered under the lampshades.
The girl's frowning brows twitched slightly, as if she was struggling to wake up.
