Chapter Sixty-Nine: A Stick of Red Dew Incense

Qianqian . , the fastest update of the latest chapter of the concubine!

Lu Zhiyuan's eyes were smeared with layers of smiles, but there was a very serious look on his face, "Then how can I do it, crab porridge can be eaten at any time, and the body is not a trivial matter." ”

As he spoke, a little maid came in with a food box, saying that the crab porridge made in the kitchen was ready.

Bai Susu's eyes were about to fall out, she watched the food box open in front of her eyes, and the crab fragrance mixed with the rice fragrance drilled into her nose, and she swallowed hard.

"Shall I just take a bite?" She had a soft voice and a petty flattering look.

"No, it's important." Lu Zhiyuan shook his head, reached out to pick up the porridge bowl, and took a spoon and took a slow bite. "The taste is good, the crab fragrance is strong, and these crabs are not buried."

Bai Susu felt that she might really be sick now, under her pleading gaze, Lu Zhiyuan finished the porridge without changing his color, and burped, there were two bowls of porridge on the table, just when he was about to pick up the second bowl, Mingxiang spoke, "Second master, Zhu Ping is waiting for you outside, it seems that there is something." ”

Lu Zhiyuan glanced at the porridge bowl, and then squinted at Bai Susu, "You are not allowed to eat secretly." After he finished speaking, he put the porridge bowl in the food box, covered it, moved it to the side, and then got up and went out.

Bai Susu felt that she was not Lord Lu's true love at all in her life, she was so sad and sad.

Waiting for the people to walk out of the door, Bai Susu got up from the couch with a whoosh, "Mingxiang, you go to the door to watch it, and the second master comes back and tells me that Chunlan will bring me some crab porridge quickly." ”

Mingxiang held back a smile and turned around to go to the door, Chunlan hurriedly took out the crab porridge from the food box, Bai Susu picked it up and smelled it, and immediately smiled, "Tut-tut, it's really not easy to have crabs this season." ”

The crabs are fat in the golden autumn and October, and it will only be July, far from the season of crabs, and it must be a small group of officials below who are filial.

Bai Susu finished eating the crab porridge with satisfaction, and Lu Zhiyuan also came back, he glanced at the food box on the table, and bent down in front of her, "Did you eat it secretly?" ”

"No, how could I do something like that." Bai Susu shook his head, opened his eyes and said nonsense, "Second master, you are a scoundrel and a good person. ”

"Oh." He straightened up, turned to look at the food box on the table, stretched out his hand to open it, and immediately raised his eyebrows, "Why is there only half a bowl of crab porridge left?" ”

Bai Sumian sighed without changing his color, "What's going on, isn't it that the second master forgot after you finished eating?" ”

Lu Zhiyuan glanced at her, turned around and stretched out his hand to her, Bai Susu was stunned, and saw the pair of slender fingers lightly tapping the tip of her nose, and then the index finger shook in front of her eyes, "What's the matter with this rice grain, Aunt Bai, I need a reasonable explanation." ”

Bai Susu's face turned red instantly, and he hesitated for a long time, and finally he didn't know if his brain was convulsive, and he suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed diagonally, "Second master, you see that there are crickets in the sky." ”

Lu Zhiyuan, "......"

Leukin, "......"

The matter of stealing food came to an end, but Lord Lu seemed to have always been very keen on pulling her to catch crickets, and tried to trick her out several times, but Bai Susu decisively rejected his unreasonable request.

Bai Susu felt that things were very strange, revealing an unusual smell, and after Lord Lu invited her to go out for a walk again, she was rejected, and went out alone, Bai Susu immediately summoned her henchmen Chunlan and Mingxiang to have a conversation, and the content was why Lord Lu has always been keen on catching crickets.

Mingxiang means that Lord Lu has been wronged outside recently, and wants to take the opportunity to express his feelings.

After hearing this, Bai Susu felt that it made sense, Lord Lu had been under a lot of pressure outside recently, and he might need to be relieved.

"How can it be so complicated, I think it's my aunt who grabbed the golden horn king so that the second master can't get off the stage, so I always want to make things difficult for my aunt." Chunlan said.

The Golden Horn King is the proud cricket that Bai Susu and Lu Zhiyuan caught on the first day, which will be kept in the Hefeng Courtyard, taken care of by Chunlan, named the Golden Horn King, and later found a few younger brothers for it, these guys fight around all day long, but it is very lively.

Chunlan's words made Bai Susu fall into deep thought, his family Lord Lu has always been proud like a peacock, she caught crickets at that time because she was too sleepy, so she didn't take into account Lord Lu's face problem at all, this will think that it is indeed possible to take the opportunity to deliberately find fault.

After figuring out the joints, she hurriedly put on her shoes and jumped off the couch, "Where did the second master go?" ”

"When I went out just now, the slave and maid looked like they were going to the back garden." Mingxiang replied.

Bai Susu nodded, "You stay, I'll take a look." She had to hurry up and coax her, Master Lu, who always gave her small shoes to wear.

She hurried out of the door, when she was wearing the stars and the moon, the people in the Lu Mansion rarely walked outside, and the back garden was quiet, and she rushed to the place where she caught crickets, but she didn't see a figure.

Looking around, there seemed to be a little light in front of her, so she hurried over with her skirt.

Lu Zhiyuan walked alone in the back garden, and vaguely heard someone crying in front of him, so he walked over to find out.

The crying was a woman who looked like a maid, and she couldn't see her face clearly with her back to him, "Who is crying here?" ”

Hearing this, the crying voice was cut off, and the woman turned around to reveal a face like pear blossoms with rain, which looked a little white by the faint moonlight, and she seemed a little surprised to see him, and hurriedly curtsied, "Second master." ”

"Ning Xiang, why are you here alone so late?" Lu Zhiyuan was stunned when he saw the woman's appearance, and there was some concern in his words.

"Nothing." Ning Xiang's face was not dry, and these three words were not convincing at all.

"Is the third lady making trouble for you again?" Lu Zhiyuan's eyes sank, and his voice was also cold.

Ning Xiang shook her head again and again, and hurriedly waved her hand, "No, no, Mrs. and Miss treat slaves and maids very well." Don't get me wrong. ”

Summer clothes were thin, and as soon as she lifted her sleeves and slid down, she saw obvious scars on her arms.

Lu Zhiyuan frowned, took a few steps forward and said, "What's wrong with your arm?" ”

Ning Xiang was very flustered, put her hands behind her back, and stammered, "No, it's nothing." ”

"Take it out, I'll see!" Lu Zhiyuan said in a deep voice.

Ning Xiang looked at his face, bit his lip, and only after a while did he stretch his arm out again, Lu Zhiyuan reached out to hold his wrist, pulled up his sleeve, and immediately frowned.

"They beat you?" Lu Zhiyuan knew that Qiao's was not very good to Ning Xiang, but he never thought that she would be beaten.

"No, it's not, it's the slave who accidentally fell." Ning Xiang pulled her hand and pulled it back, "You don't have to worry about the slave, the slave is fine." ”

This is obviously a mark of a whip, how can a fall fall into a large patch of bruises.

If this is the case on the arm, it will be more serious in the rest of the body.

Lu Zhiyuan sighed, with guilt in his words, "You have suffered, this matter started because of me, I will not ignore you." ”

Ning Xiang's eyes turned red, and she almost choked up and said, "The slave can get you to remember a thing or two, even if you die immediately, you feel that it is worth it, and the slave is not bitter." ”

Lu Zhiyuan looked at her and couldn't help but think of when he was a child, when his mother had just passed away, and he was immersed in grief and was in a state of confusion all day long.

When the stepmother Qiao Shi entered the door, she was very taboo about him, the eldest son, and made trouble with him three or four times, and even made Lu San hate this son a little bit. Ning Xiang is the maid next to the third lady Qiao's family, although she is Qiao's person, she has secretly helped him save the day many times, Lu Zhiyuan remembers these kindnesses in his heart.

In his heart, Ning Xiang was like his half sister, giving him a short period of warmth.

Qiao's treatment of Ningxiang is not good, Lu Zhiyuan knows, but Ningxiang is Qiao's maid, this deed of sale is in Qiao's hand, she has to be punished and scolded, others are not qualified to speak at all, and he, as a stepson, naturally can't reach into his stepmother's house.

Lu Zhi has been far away from the mansion these years, Qiao Shi can't see him, and Ning Xiang's life is not sad, but this time he came back and made Qiao Shi angry again, so he vented all this anger on Ning Xiang.

"Go back and rest early, I won't leave your business alone." Lu Zhiyuan looked down at her and said.

Ning Xiang nodded and sniffed, "The slave listens to you." ”

As soon as the words fell, she curtsied and bowed, and when she turned around, she suddenly saw a flower in front of her for some reason, and even fell straight down.

Lu Zhiyuan was very close at the moment, and when he saw that the person had fallen, he naturally couldn't help but help, and reached out to hold her.

Ning Xiang's cheeks were red, and his sparkling eyes were full of undissipated moisture, looking at him exhaling like a lando, "Second master, thank you." ”

Lu Zhiyuan helped her stand up and said softly, "Go back, it's not too early." ”

Ning Xiang smiled, then turned around and trotted away.

Lu Zhiyuan looked at her back and was silent for a while, reached out to lift the lantern placed at his feet, and when he turned around, he saw the woman standing behind him.

He was stunned, "Aunt Bai, why are you here?" ”

There was obvious disappointment and anger in Bai Susu's eyes, and his tone couldn't help but rise, "Who was that woman just now?" ”

Lu Zhiyuan also frowned when he heard this voice, he didn't want to explain these things, and to explain, he inevitably had to mention the time when he was pressed by Qiao's when he was a child. Those memories that were not good for him, he didn't want to remember at all.

"This matter has nothing to do with you, don't mention it in the future." The voice was already irritated and impatient.

There was a faint coolness in Bai Susu's eyes, she just asked, but he didn't even bother to explain.

"If the second master likes that girl, it's better to enter the door directly, why bother to meet in the backyard in the middle of the night sneakily, and it's not good to spread it."

Lu Zhiyuan frowned very tightly when he heard this strange voice, and scolded, "Aunt Bai, don't forget your identity!" ”
