Chapter 207: The Toad Wants to Eat Swan Meat
At first glance, seeing that familiar face, Lu Mengjian was inevitably a little distracted, and he didn't know if he was okay on the battlefield......
"Miss Lu, the third miss they are talking about can't really be you, right?" Xiangzi glanced at Lu Mengjian suspiciously, he couldn't imagine that she would have a relationship with the Huo family. Lu Mengjian nodded, and Xiangzi was stunned.
"Third Miss?" The official who had been stopping at the 'door' immediately came back to his senses, and hurriedly sent someone upstairs to report, and then greeted him with a smile, "Hehe, Third Miss, I'm really sorry, the villain has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, you go inside first and wait for a while." ”
Lu Mengjian has gradually become numb in the face of such a big change in attitude, and it is not uncommon to see people who bully the weak at any time.
"Big brother, please come in and sit for a while, thanks to the three of you tonight, otherwise I wouldn't know where I am now." Lu Mengjian smiled and invited Mu Bai, but Mu Bai shook his head coldly.
"No, it's late at night, please do what the girl does. In the next farewell. With that, Mu Bai turned around, and before Lu Mengjian could react, the figure had disappeared into the darkness.
The official looked at the man with his hands tied in front of him stunned, and looked at each other, "Third Miss, who is this person?" ”
"Oh," Lu Mengjian looked at the poor Brother Chao who winked at him, and put away the smile on his face, "He is the one who kidnapped me tonight, please make sure that the official brother must find out who is behind the scenes, he will definitely thank him again in the future!" ”
"The third lady is merciful, the villain is instructed by others, the villain really doesn't know anything, you have to believe the villain!" Brother Chao cried in front of Lu Mengjian this time, but all 'women' have the kindness of 'women', he didn't believe that Lu Mengjian would be indifferent in the face of his own crying.
Sure enough, Lu Mengjian frowned, a big man was crying in front of everyone, no matter how she said it, it was too undignified, she turned her head, and just as she wanted to speak, Xiangzi strode over, and the tall figure was just between Lu Mengjian and Brother Chao.
"Let's go in, Brother You and Youyou are already in a hurry," After Xiangzi finished speaking, You Ziqi had already stumbled out, and when he saw Lu Mengjian, he didn't care about anything else, and rushed directly to Lu Mengjian.
"Mengjian, how are you, are you injured, have they done anything to you......" You Ziqi's series of questions like a machine gun made Lu Mengjian unable to speak.
"I didn't see Miss Lu fine, Miss Lu, come into the house and rest, you must be scared when something like this happens tonight," Xiangzi wrapped his arm around Lu Mengjian, controlling Lu Mengjian within the range of his arms, forming a warm protective circle.
You Ziqi gritted his teeth and stared at Xiangzi, and he was a little jealous of Xiangzi.
"Take your arms away, Mengjian, I'm sorry for frightening you tonight," You Ziqi opened Xiangzi's arms around Lu Mengjian, and led Lu Mengjian into Yuxiu Building and walked towards the second floor.
Xiangzi stood at the entrance of the 'door', still maintaining the posture of Fang Cai, and the officials next to him sneered and laughed: "Xiangzi, you are a toad who wants to eat swan 'meat', but you are a dignified third lady, you are a little servant, don't dream!" ”
"Hehe, the third lady of the family is said to have a sweetheart, you, just die of this heart!"
"That is, it would be very good to find a daughter-in-law with the right 'door' for your current conditions!"
Xiangzi stood in place, his ears were full of cynicism, every word hit his eardrums, he never thought about why he was so good to Lu Mengjian, it seemed that from the first time he saw her, he had a kind of 'desire' to protect her, he always felt that he had seen her before, maybe in a dream, or maybe everything was just his fantasy.
Before Lu Mengjian entered the 'door', he saw Xiangzi's appearance, and his heart warmed, which was clearly protecting her, but Xiangzi was not Lin Daimo after all, and Xiangzi was unlikely to become a substitute for Lin Daimo. But seeing his appearance, she was still very moved, maybe there was really telepathy between the twins, his actions reminded Lu Mengjian of Lin Daimo's way of protecting himself, when he drove away the old man who was moving his hands and feet in Shita Village, it was like it happened yesterday.
"Hehe, you are the third miss, please take a seat, due to the negligence of our store, the third miss was frightened," Bai Muran respectfully invited Lu Mengjian to take a seat, the two of them humbled for a moment, Lu Mengjian had no choice but to sit down, in the face of Bai Muran's enthusiasm, she was a little at a loss.
"Third Miss, speaking of which, Bai still has some 'friendship' with Huo Mansion, if you don't dislike it, just call Bai a certain uncle." Bai Muran smiled kindly and started a relationship with Lu Mengjian.
The third prince also sent someone to pass the word, saying that the court and the central government are not as good as in the past, and there is no harm in 'befriending' more dignitaries and nobles, although General Huo is now retired to his home, but the strength of the descendants of Huo Mansion is still not to be underestimated, so he told Bai Muran to take this opportunity to 'befriend' with Huo Mansion, and Bai Muran naturally started with Lu Mengjian when he encountered such a good opportunity.
In the face of Bai Muran's left and right attacks, Lu Mengjian was afraid that he would say the wrong thing, so he was 'confused', and finally waited for Huo Qing to arrive, and Lu Mengjian seemed to have received amnesty.
"Third Miss, I've kept you waiting," Huo Qing was respectful, and seemed to have no problem with Lu Mengjian's former identity. Bai Muran saw it all in his eyes, and he inevitably looked down on this "third lady" in his heart, in his eyes, but he couldn't do a 'girl' better than a 'girl' in person, but he didn't expect the Huo Mansion to directly send Vice Huo Qing to pick up Lu Mengjian, this treatment, I'm afraid that even the real daughter of the Huo family will be difficult to enjoy.
"I'm tired of Vice General Huo, I wanted to go home by myself, but Boss Bai insisted that I wait for you to come over......" Lu Mengjian's decent smile was just like a gentle and courteous daughter, so Huo Qing couldn't help but nod and sigh secretly, he had long known that Lu Mengjian was different from those rural village girls, but it was really not easy to become like this in a short period of time.
Saying goodbye to Bai Muran, Lu Mengjian finally breathed a long sigh of relief, chatting with these people is really tiring, every sentence has another deep meaning, she not only has to answer decently but also avoid those big and small traps, it is really like fighting a big battle.
"Third Miss, do you know who did today's incident?" Huo Qing asked through the sedan curtain, Lu Mengjian thought of what Brother Chao said, shook his head with a wry smile, he didn't expect to make an enemy so quickly, the key is that he didn't know who the enemy was.
"I don't know, but I've caught a kidnapper, and I might be able to get some information out of his mouth."
"Have you offended anyone lately?" Huo Qing frowned, if the enemy retaliated, it might be forgiven, but Lu Mengjian, a 'girl' family, how could he offend this big man in Kyoto?
"Probably not, since Mo left, I have been in Huo Mansion, except for occasionally going to Yunyifang to have a look and design clothes, but I have never had an argument with anyone." Lu Mengjian racked his brains and couldn't think of a reason.
"Could it be that the merchants are competing and want to rob you of the past?" If it's just for commercial purposes, I'm afraid this reason is still unconvincing, after all, there is more than one famous ready-to-wear store in the city, and the business of other families is not much worse than Yunyifang, except that Yunyifang is famous for relying on Lu Mengjian's design drawings, but even so, there is no possibility of robbing people by this means.
"Speaking of business competition, I remembered that two days ago, You Ziqi's store was smashed, not only the goods, but even You Ziqi and the guys in the store were not spared, and the leader seemed to mean that You Ziqi robbed their employer's business, and You Ziqi closed the 'door'. Adjutant General Huo, do you think this could be instigated by the same person? After Lu Mengjian finished speaking, she connected the experiences of the past two days, but she couldn't think of any shop that would hire someone to commit murder because of a small shop.
"It seems that the matter has already been settled, and I will soon go to the prison and interrogate the man, and since he was commanded, he will certainly be able to find him. Third Miss, if you still think of something, please tell me. ”
"Actually, these two days...... I mean, today, on the street, I also encountered a strange thing, on the street of Yunyifang, someone actually slashed people on the street with a big knife, fortunately I ran fast......" Lu Mengjian deliberately swept over Qin Luofu's matter, she suddenly wanted to see what other 'tricks' this 'woman' could use, not to mention that there was no definite evidence that she was targeting herself.
After Huo Qing listened, his face became darker and darker, "It seems that this world is becoming more and more uneasy, in the future, you don't want to go out without permission, I will make it clear to the general and arrange a few guards for you." In the next few days, there may be some changes in the above, so try not to go out if you have nothing to do. ”
"Well, thank you Vice General Huo for your concern, I have no use value for others like this, don't bother, I will be careful in the future." Lu Mengjian politely refused, but Huo Qing was silent.
It seems that the storm is not far away.
Qingshuang returned to the inn and rushed into her room, no matter how much Xuan Ze knocked on the 'door', she wouldn't open the 'door'.
In the past, Xuan Ze always had to send a bowl of supper to his senior sister before the day was over, but today's hands on the plates were almost sore, and the senior sister still didn't reply.
"Senior brother, what did you say happened to Senior Sister?" Xuan Ze was helpless and returned to the room with a plate.
"I don't know." Mu Bai sat at the table, writing on the paper with a pen, the whole person was cold and deserted like a snowman, Xuan Ze walked to Mu Bai pitifully.
"Senior sister is angry today, senior brother, did you make senior sister angry......
Mu Bai raised his head, and his cold eyes crossed Xuan Ze's face, "She loves to be angry, what does it matter to me!" ”
"But why is it that as long as the two of you get along alone, Senior Sister will be very angry, she was not like this before going down the mountain," Xuan Ze tried not to be intimidated by Mu Bai's eyes, and dared to ask this sentence.
Sure enough, Mu Bai's face sank, "Do you remember what Master said before going down the mountain?" ”
"Yes."
"Repeat!"
"Master said that after going down the mountain, we should work together outside, have no distractions, and complete the task as soon as possible......" The more Xuan Ze said, the more he became more and more unconfident, and finally he stopped at the end of his rope.
Mu Bai looked at him coldly, "Since you know, then don't continue to talk nonsense." If it weren't for Qingshuang messing around with you today, how could this kind of thing happen, if you 'revealed' your identity, be careful of your neck, and the master would not be able to help you at that time! ”
Xuan Ze hung his head and was silent, Mu Bai saw this, whistled lightly, a white pigeon hula flew into the window, Mu Bai rolled the note into a small roll and tied it to the white pigeon's 'legs'.
In the early hours of the morning, the night is as cool as water, but the people in the night lie on the 'bed' and toss and turn, each with their own thoughts.
