504 Legs
After returning from the orchard, the Lan family seemed to acquiesce in the relationship between Lu Xiaoxian and Lan Kaize. Especially Lin Peizhi, she is always smiling when she meets, and she speaks politely, she takes the lead, and the others naturally follow suit, and they are all very polite to Lu Xiaoxian.
Only Lan Qin'er ignored her, although she always had a cold face, she didn't dare to do anything to her?
Lu Xiaoxian gradually put her mind at ease, with the talisman of Lan Kaize, no one dared to do anything to her?
There wasn't much to do in Lan Kaiser's room, and most of it was rushed by Ah Lie. Lu Xiaoxian is a person who can't be idle, there is nothing to do upstairs, so he runs downstairs, watches things and does things, and has a good relationship with others. She was actually looking for an opportunity, wanting to sneak into Lan Xiu and the couple's room again to find more clues.
Finally waiting for a good opportunity, Lan Xiu went out with his wife. Lu Xiaoxian was afraid that Ah Lie would look for her if she disappeared for too long, so she greeted him in advance, saying that she was a little tired and wanted to go back to her room to sleep for a while.
As long as she is good, she can do anything, and Ah Lie naturally won't say anything.
Lu Xiaoxian took advantage of the lack of attention and slipped into Lan Xiu and his wife's room again.
She went straight into the bedroom, opened the jewelry box, the ring was still there, and she held it in her hand and looked at it carefully for a while before putting it back. She touched the dark lattice at the bottom again, and the small keyhole looked delicate and complex, revealing a hint of mystery, and she guessed that there must be a bigger secret hidden in it.
But where to find the key?
Lu Xiaoxian restored the jewelry box to its original state, and went to Lan Xiuhe's study to look for it, there should be some clues here, but she didn't find it in a hurry last time.
Lan Xiuhe's desk was large, with drawers on both sides, and she opened each of them and flipped through them casually, without any valuable clues. Lu Xiaoxian was not discouraged, of course such a secret thing would not be easily let her see. When she pulled it to the bottom drawer on the left-hand side, it couldn't be pulled anymore, and it looked like it was locked.
She looked closely at the keyhole, guessed the size of the key, and then looked for the key behind a vase or an oil painting hanging on the wall, which she had learned from Lu Haochen's detective novels. But those who have scheming generally hide important things in places that others don't expect.
But there was not it in the vase, nor was it behind the painting. Where will it be?
Lu Xiaoxian stood in the middle of the room, looked around, suddenly looked up and saw the lamp, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, moved a chair under the lamp, took off her shoes and stood up, but she couldn't reach it, she thought about it, went to the bedroom and took Lin Peizhi's makeup stool and put it on the chair, and then climbed up, no one was beside her, she climbed a little frightened, and finally stood up, but it was still a little bit worse, there was no support on the side, she gritted her teeth and climbed the lampshade on tiptoe.
The hand groped for the top of the lamp, and it seemed that it had really touched something other than dust, but the hand was too short to touch it. She tried her toes so hard that she used almost all her strength, but as soon as her body lost her balance, she fell down.
Lu Xiaoxian instinctively exclaimed, and as soon as his voice came out, he reacted and immediately paused. It's just that the chairs and stools crackled and fell to the floor, which was thrilling.
Lu Xiaoxian didn't care about anything else, hurriedly put the chairs and stools back in their places, and hurriedly ran out. A short distance out of the door, I saw Alice running from the other end of the hallway, saw her and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Lu Xiaoxian said: "I don't know, I also ran over when I heard the voice." ”
Anu also came up from downstairs, and when he saw the two of them standing in the corridor talking, he asked, "What's the matter?" Where's the ring? ”
Alice shook her head: "I don't know, I heard a sound, and then it was silent." I don't know where it came from? ”
Anu glanced at them suspiciously, went to Lin Peizhi's room to take a look, and found nothing unusual. came out and said, "It's not the eldest lady's room, let's see if it's the third lady's room." ”
Alice sighed, ran to Zeng Hong's room to take a look, and soon ran back and said, "Everything is normal in the third lady's room." ”
The second lady is a soft persimmon, and the servants are generally too lazy to pay attention. The second young grandmother is in the room, and if there is something she will call someone. The eldest lady's room is generally not allowed to be let in. The third young master is a good talker, so Anu went over to take a look in person, and he didn't find any problems.
"It's nothing, let's all go down," said Anu, "don't talk nonsense, it's not good to reach the ears of the eldest lady." ”
She meant that more things are better than less, Lu Xiaoxian was desperate, and nodded hurriedly and said okay. I was secretly glad that I had escaped a catastrophe.
But when I returned to the room, I found that I had fallen a lot. When I first fell, I was so nervous that I didn't care about anything, but now that the tight strings are loosened, I feel that everything hurts. The worst thing is that my foot is broken, and it hurts when I hit the ground.
She had broken her foot before and knew how to deal with it, but she had to find a way to get a medicinal oil. Ole is famous for her grass cream, and she used to buy a few bottles to take home when she came here for her honeymoon. The Lan family must have it too, but who do you have to ask for?
She didn't want to find Ah Lie, she didn't want Lan Kaize to know about it, Lan Kaize was more sensitive than ordinary people, and he would definitely ask the ins and outs, and she was not good at telling lies, for fear that he would see the flaws.
Sitting in a daze, my feet became more and more painful, the blood stagnation was not smooth, and my ankles were swollen all of a sudden. The situation seemed to be getting worse and worse, Lu Xiaoxian was in distress, and time passed minute by minute, and it was time for Lan Kaize to get off work. She had no choice but to go outside to find medicine.
After walking a few steps, he met Uncle Hua, probably seeing that she was abnormal, Uncle Hua greeted her and asked her with concern.
Lu Xiaoxian said that he accidentally twisted it and asked him if he had any grass paste?
When Uncle Hua heard that she sprained her foot, he hurriedly helped her back to the room, and then hurriedly went to get the medicine, and asked her if she wanted to go to the hospital?
Lu Xiaoxian didn't dare to show him, saying that it was just twisted a little, it was no big deal, just rub some medicine.
As soon as Uncle Hua left, Lu Xiaoxian dared to pull up the corners of his pants and rub the medicine, rubbing the blood hard, gritting his teeth and gasping in pain. After rubbing for a while, the ointment slowly seeped into the skin, and the redness and swelling finally improved.
In this case, there was no way to go outside to greet Lan Kaize from work, so Lu Xiaoxian simply changed his clothes and lay on the bed, covered with a quilt and slept.
She also knew that she couldn't hide, and she didn't have the heart to sleep, she just fell asleep shallowly, so when Lan Kaize pushed the door in, she knew it completely, and went through the typed abdominal draft again, and when the man called her softly, she pretended to have just woken up, rubbed her eyes, yawned, and said in a lazy voice: "You're off work, I overslept and forgot to go out to pick you up." ”
"It's okay," the man doted on her forehead, "Ah Lie said that you slept all afternoon, are you tired?" ”
"I'm not tired, I'm just a little sleepy." Lu Xiaoxian smiled at him: "I'm still sleepy until now, I still want to sleep for a while, so I won't go upstairs today." ”
"Sleep if you want, get some rest." The man kissed her again and said, "I'll go upstairs to change my clothes first, and I'll come back later." ”
"I'm sleeping, don't come here."
"You sleep with you, I'm not noisy, I just want to accompany you." The man touched her head, "I'm leaving." ”
Lu Xiaoxian sighed silently in her heart, still the same as before, she always spoiled her to the bones, she cared too much and cared too much, and sometimes it was a kind of bondage.
Before the sigh was over, the man suddenly pushed the door in again, and without speaking, he lifted the quilt directly to look at her feet. His face instantly darkened like the bottom of a pot: "How did you get it?" ”
Lu Xiaoxian didn't come to his senses at all, propped himself up, and stammered, "Twist, twist." ”
"Why didn't you say it just now?"
"No, I didn't think about it."
"Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt."
The man's face became even more ugly, and even his voice sank: "It's all nonsense, it's all like this, and it doesn't hurt?" ”
Seeing the man's fierce look, Lu Xiaoxian beat a drum in his heart, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes silently.
"What time do you rub the medicine?"
She secretly raised her eyes and said timidly, "Four o'clock." ”
"Wipe it once after eating, wipe it again before going to bed, don't go down to the ground, call me if you have something." Seeing that the man's tone was a little soothed, Lu Xiaoxian gently tugged at his sleeve.
"Don't be angry, it's fine. I just accidentally stumbled. ”
"Tell me, who got it?"
Lu Xiaoxian was stunned for a moment, why did he ask like this? She accidentally got it herself.
"No one, it's ...... myself"
The man sneered: "Are you still afraid that I won't be able to support you?" Say, "Who is it?" ”
"There's really no one, it's me who accidentally broke it myself."
"Where are you? How? Who saw it? ”
"Just, right in the room, at the door, by the door. I don't know how to get it. ”
"Is it in the room, or by the door? Can you fit in such a small place? Speak it and be believed! Something suddenly occurred to him, and he rolled up the other corner of her trousers, which was not broken, but there was a bruise on the leg. Pulling her clothes again, there are bruises on her waist, and there is more than one.
The man watched silently for a while, then took the grass paste and wiped all the bruises for her. Then he put down the medicine bottle and went out without saying a word.
This expression Lu Xiaoxian was very familiar with, and when Gu Nianbin was extremely angry, he also walked away without saying a word.
The silence was only the beginning, the outbreak was the process, she was very frightened, and slowly walked towards the hall by holding on to the wall.
Before she could get out of the side door, she saw the servants running down the hall, and just as one of them passed by, she grabbed the man and asked what was the matter?
The servant usually had a good relationship with her, but at this time, he looked at her indifferently and left in a hurry.
Lu Xiaoxian wondered in his heart, intuition that this matter was related to Lan Kaize, and endured the pain and accelerated his pace. As soon as he ascended the steps, Ah Lie stood by the door and saw her with sharp eyes, shaking his hand desperately, signaling her not to pass.
Lu Xiaoxian became more and more strange, paused for a moment, and still walked up.
Ah Lie was in a hurry, so he hurriedly stopped her and whispered, "What are you doing here?" Didn't you break your foot? Go back and lie down, in case the eldest young master sees it, it's another thing. ”
Lu Xiaoxian asked him what was wrong?
Although the incident started because of her, Ah Lie did not hide it, and told her carefully while helping her back to the house.
