182 Side quests (B)
Lin Xi stayed in Lu Lian's room like this, she is also equivalent to a half-transparent person in this Lu Mansion, except for the occasional group of women who are interested in calling her to make fun, the rest of the time she stays in the room to practice calligraphy, reading, playing the piano and embroidery, full of deep boudoir fan.
It's just that if it's just like this, then there will be no Lotus Fairy, and Lin Xi won't be teleported over inexplicably.
Lu Lian has a sweetheart, she is the nephew of the wife of the main room of the Lu Mansion, and she came to the Lu Mansion to temporarily borrow it because she went to Beijing to gain fame. Lu Lian fell in love with him at first sight, only glanced at him quietly, and when he came back, he pulled Lin Xi and said this and that. will say that Xiao Qinghan is handsome and unparalleled, and his demeanor is not inferior to those sons of famous and powerful people. After a while, he said that it was a pity that the Xiao family was far away in Jiangnan, and she was a giant, so she probably couldn't climb high.
is happy and depressed, but he still has love in his heart, and in addition to what he should do every day, he pulls Lin Xi to take a peek.
Lin Xi thought that even if she was found to be there, she would be able to leave quickly and not cause any disputes, so she did whatever she wanted with Lu Lian, who was just beginning to fall in love.
This time and again, Xiao Qinghan is not a fool, he only lives in this remote courtyard and his small servant, as soon as he smells the smell of rouge gouache, he began to be suspicious, and then directly arrested Lu Lian. Lu Lian was born good-looking, and her panicked appearance when she was found was quite pitiful, scholars are all pitiful and cherished, and Xiao Qinghan is no exception.
Although he gently persuaded Lu Lian not to come again, he did not avoid it when he saw Lu Lian again, but couldn't help but approach.
The two are the same age, one is a pure nerd and the other is a deep lady, both of whom have never seen much of the world. So I only met a few times, and after having a common topic, we began to complain to each other, you and me, so that Lin Xi, the light bulb, was not embarrassed, and finally simply ran out and wandered around in this Lu Mansion.
Lin Xi has never read a house fight novel, and he doesn't know that there are many rules and calculations in such a famous family, even if Lu Lian is an unfavored lady in this house, it is unavoidable. I only know whether men and women are intimate or not, but I don't know that it is best not to see a young lady who has not yet come out of the cabinet and a man of the same age, let alone such an obvious private meeting. If she knew, she would definitely use her strength to block Lu Lian, and she would definitely not let the two of them go.
When the incident occurred in the east window, she was stealing wine in the wine cellar, and when she came out of the wine cellar, she was about to find a random roof to drink and watch the moon, but she was unexpectedly surprised to see that the main hall, which should have been quiet at this time, was brightly lit and full of people.
Is there any excitement to see?
Lin Xi raised his eyebrows, couldn't resist his curiosity and followed a few maids into the main hall together, and couldn't help but be stunned after seeing the two people kneeling in the center, and then just wanted to rush up but stopped.
Now that others can't see her, going to help can only make Lu Lian and Xiao Qinghan be charged with being unfilial, so it's better to stand still and act when the opportunity arises.
Sitting on the upper seat were Lu Lian's father and grandmother, on either side sat Mrs. Auntie, Miss, Son, and Miss, and behind stood the next person. When he first came in, he didn't notice it, but when he looked at Lin Xi, he found that everyone from the Lu Mansion was gathered in this main hall.
Lu Lian's father first reprimanded the two of them, what kind of private tryst ruined the door style and humiliated reputation, etc., and then directly came to a conclusion-
Xiao Qinghan immediately moved out of the Lu Mansion and went to live in an inn in the capital. Lu Lian's family method served, that is, he hit thirty boards, and then locked up in the firewood room and thought about it for three days.
Seeing the people in the main hall disperse, Lin Xi followed the two domestic servants who took Lu Lian to play the board, and when he arrived in a remote place and was about to step forward to save people, he saw Lu Lian suddenly turn her head to look at her, opened her mouth and said three words silently-
"No, you can't."
Things have come to this point, of course Lin Xi knows what Lu Lian is afraid of. She is just a concubine with no status and no favor, and her food and clothing are all from this Lu Mansion, and whether she is dead or alive only needs a word from those people. If she can rely on Lin Xi to avoid the board today, maybe she will usher in a heavier punishment tomorrow, if she wants to live well, she can only be obedient and resist.
Thirty boards are already a lot, plus the people in the house don't treat Lu Lian as a young lady, and the attack is heavier, and after the beating, she has already fainted, lying on the wooden bench motionless.
Lin Xi watched as the two subordinates dragged Lu Lian to the courtyard on the other side of the kitchen, and threw her into a dark and damp firewood room where reptiles and occasional rats crawled everywhere.
Although she has always known that she is an outsider and will go back after watching the play, she does regard Lu Lian as a friend after getting along during this time...... Or maybe it's my sister. If it is a story, you can turn it over with a sigh, but this is a real thing that happened in front of your eyes, and in addition to being distressed and sad, there is also an inexplicable sense of heaviness in Lin Xi's heart.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one in the middle of the night, Lin Xi fetched water to wipe Lu Lian's body, gave medicine to the wound and changed into the clothes he took from her room. Looking at her pale face, Lin Xi still couldn't bear to stuff her with a very effective wound medicine, and only relieved her mind when she saw that her face was slowly improving.
After that, Lin Xi fell asleep somehow, and the picture in the dream flashed little by little.
Lu Lian's next days were not easy, and the eldest daughter of Lu Mansion also had a good impression of Xiao Qinghan, and when she saw that the two of them were getting better, she held a grudge against Lu Lian. first designed to frame Lu Lian to beat her, and then colluded with his subordinates to destroy Lu Lian's innocence, and finally simply beat Lu Lian to a limp. Lu Fu saw that this concubine had no reputation and was a lame woman, so he simply deprived the young lady of all her use and reduced her to a maid ring.
Two years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the eldest daughter of the Lu Mansion married Xiao Qinghan, who was admitted to the top prize and is now a servant of the ministry, and also brought Lu Lian as a wedding girl, and as soon as she entered the Xiao Mansion, she was directly assigned to the kitchen to be a fire girl. Not to mention getting together with Xiao Qinghan, it's hard to even want to see each other.
Lu Lian listened to the gossip of other subordinates every day, such as how much affection the old lady was, how much the old lady was pregnant, the lady gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, the old man took a concubine and received a room, etc., and then looked at herself who was only sixteen and was as dry as a woman in her thirties, and slowly became resentful in her heart.
She originally thought that she loved Xiao Qinghan, and Xiao Qinghan also loved her. But he didn't expect that he never came back after he moved out of Lu Mansion, and he never thought of caring about her in high school, or proposing to Lu Mansion, and even married the eldest sister who harmed him, and now he has a group of wives and concubines.
Thinking like this, Lu Lian couldn't help but slowly smile at herself in the mirror.
It was the terrifying smile that completely woke Lin Xi up, and when he came back to his senses, he was standing in the garden, in front of which was a pond full of lotus flowers, and Lu Lian was standing by the pond.
Lin Xi was about to step forward, but found that he couldn't move, and Lu Lian didn't notice her appearance, and still looked at the pond with some words.
What happened after that, Lin Xi didn't want to see it, but he was forced to take it all into his eyes.
Xiao Qinghan hurried over after receiving the letter, and saw that Lu Lian, who had changed a lot, was completely incredulous and even had undisguised disgust. Lu Lian didn't say anything to him, pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, then jumped into the pond, and when Xiao Qinghan called for someone to save him with disgust, she couldn't see anyone alive or dead.
They didn't know, but Lin Xi saw it clearly.
Lu Lian was swallowed by a lotus flower and turned into a black mist. In the dead of night, the fog began to wander through the Xiao Mansion, and everywhere it went was bloody.
Overnight, the Xiao Mansion and the Lu Mansion were destroyed, and there was a lotus fairy pond under the pond.
In front of her eyes again, Lin Xi had already returned to the Lotus Immortal Pond, and the Lotus Fairy, who had already died, was Lu Lian standing with her back to her, and only sighed after a long time: "Thank you for saving me...... It's just that everything is a foregone conclusion, so what if we can go back in time? ”
After speaking, she flicked her sleeves again and smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, that's it." ”
"Ding-dong! Player Duanmu Xi completes the side quest Lotus Fairy's past, and meets certain conditions, and closes the level 65 secret realm Lotus Immortal Pond from now on! ”
"Ding-dong! The system will shut down the server after 5 seconds for emergency maintenance, please forgive me! ”
However, in the blink of an eye, Lu Lian disappeared like a foam phantom, and then the lotus immortal pond turned into fragments and scattered everywhere. Lin Xi, on the other hand, returned to the lake before, and after reacting and struggling to get ashore, his eyes became dark.
