Chapter Twenty-Three: Avoiding Child's Soup
Wei Baozhu looked at the county lord of Yuanheng and was about to speak, but the county lord of Yuanheng got up and said: "I have to inform the government of this matter as soon as possible, lest your aunt come to the door, and the family is still at a loss, and there is no way to deal with it." The affairs of these two girls, it is better to let Lan'er do it for you, your sister has the best relationship on weekdays, and she will definitely not wronged your maid. ”
Wei Baozhu's hand in his sleeve couldn't help but tremble, and he looked at Wei Lan'er.
Wei Lan'er hooked her lips and smiled: "Second sister, let's hurry back to the table, Sister Hanzhang of the Xu Xiangjia family still asked about you, if you don't show up for a long time, everyone will inevitably guess." ”
Li Qingyi watched the play with satisfaction, stepped forward to grab Wei Baozhu, and persuaded: "Sister Baozhu, the sooner you go back, the easier it will be to refute the rumors." ”
Wei Baozhu gritted his teeth and looked at Wei Lan'er, "Then there is Third Sister Lao......
Wei Lan'er smiled: "Second sister, don't worry. ”
The county lord of Yuanheng said: "Okay, Qingqing Haosheng takes care of the treasure bead, and I will go over after a little arrangement." ”
Li Qingyi bowed his knees slightly and retreated and left with Wei Baozhu.
The county lord of Yuanheng glanced back at Wei Lan'er, "Since Baozhu can trust you, you can ask these two girls for her, but there is one thing, don't regenerate what is wrong and make people gossip." ”
"Yes, Lan'er understands."
On the Yunjing stage, the wine and food have been changed again, and in the midst of singing and dancing, the ladies gathered in twos and threes to talk, discussing the Lin family's early departure from Chonghua Palace.
Wei Jin'er had already begun to fidget, and was relieved to see Li Qingyi coming over with Wei Baozhu.
"Sister, is it okay?"
Li Qingyi glanced at Wei Baozhu and gave her a secretive look.
Wei Jin'er knew that something was really wrong, so she quickly shut up and stopped asking.
It's just that she doesn't ask, someone will.
Xu Hanzhang, the daughter of Prime Minister Xu's Mansion, couldn't help but come over when she saw Wei Baozhu, "Sister Baozhu, why have you been away from the table for so long?" ”
Wei Baozhu stiffened his face and responded, "I have a shallow amount of wine, so I just watched the singing and dancing, and accidentally drank a few more glasses of fruit brew, but I was a little dizzy, and I went back to take a nap." ”
"Oh? So that's the case, I thought it was ......" Xu Hanzhang covered his lips and chuckled for a moment, and said: "Your grandfather's family suddenly left Chonghua Palace and went back to the city, I don't know what happened?" ”
Wei Baozhu didn't dare to reveal the clues, and pretended to be surprised: "Really? Are the Lin family gone? ”
"It turns out that Sister Baozhu doesn't know either." Xu Hanzhang couldn't ask anything, lost interest, and left.
Wei Baozhu breathed a sigh of relief, thought about it, and asked Li Qingyi: "Sister Li, when I left the table just now, was there anything abnormal during the banquet?" ”
Li Qingyi shook his head: "Jin'er and I have never left here, and after you left for a while, Sister Lan'er came back, saying that she didn't see you go back, and then someone said during the banquet that Second Young Master Lin couldn't find anyone." Jin'er was afraid that something would happen to you, so she hurried to find the county lord, and the county lord took me and Lan'er's sister back to the courtyard to find you......"
"How could anyone notice that Lin Yi was missing?"
This is the same question that Wei Laner asked.
Li Qingyi smiled secretly in his heart, but his face was not obvious, and said: "It was said that the eldest princess called the heir of the Lin family's big house to come over and speak, I don't know why...... Someone mentioned Second Young Master Lin, Second Young Master Lin disappeared, and everyone looked around for a while! ”
Wei Baozhu's face turned faintly blue, isn't it that Wei Lan'er will make a plan, but the Lin family's big house or the third room found out about her plan, and didn't want Lin Yi to marry Wei Lan'er, in order to win the title, she wanted to borrow her hand to eradicate Lin Yi?
Li Qingyi saw her eyes down and pondered, so she accepted the words and let her guess by herself.
This Spring and Autumn penmanship is to make every sentence true, but it implies a point.
In fact, everyone found that Lin Yi was missing because the eldest princess inadvertently discovered when she asked the heirs of the Lin family that Li Qingyi deliberately said the reason for the twists and turns, just to lead Wei Baozhu to think about other aspects.
Even if Wei Baozhu knew the reason for the incident later, he had already preconceived and had doubts about the Lin family's big house and third room.
In the middle of the moon, the feast is finally over.
Li Qingyi spent a lot of time today, and he and Qin Zeng walked together in the cave, which was really physically and mentally exhausted.
Sheadan fetched water, "Girl, the slave maid will wait for you to wash." ”
Li Qingyi nodded and removed the hairpin ring by himself.
Lu Wu laid out the futon, came over to help her untie her hair, and said: "Second Mrs. Wei said that she was too busy to take over the feed, so she asked the county lord to come alone with a few girls, could it be that she deliberately shirked it?" ”
"You see that, too?" Li Qingyi took off the earrings and rubbed her ears, and said, "If the second lady comes, if something happens today, she will have to bear the fault with the county lord." ”
Yu Wu pouted: "It's really self-inflicted, let her know that it was not Miss Wei San who had an accident today, but her daughter, I don't know if she will regret not coming." ”
"Hmph." Li Qingyi snorted, "If the second lady comes, today's matter really can't be done, she is much more difficult than Wei Baozhu." ”
"Second Miss Wei is young in the end, even if she thinks deeply about others, it is limited. It's just that no matter who has an accident, the county lord is afraid that he will be complained, after all, she brought a few girls here. ”
"Then it depends on whether she's smart enough."
Li Qingyi got up and took off her outer skirt, and sat at the table drinking tea with only her middle coat.
"If something happens to Wei Lan'er, she naturally can't shirk it, but it was Wei Baozhu who had an accident, she and Lin Yi are cousins, and it's common for them to get closer, it's understandable that the county lord doesn't investigate the situation for a while, if she can insist that the Lin family has other intentions, then she doesn't have to bear any responsibility for this matter."
Lu Wu hesitated: "Do you want to remind the county lord a few words?" ”
Li Qingyi shook his head and smiled: "Why should we worry, Wei Jin'er will think of all kinds of joints and talk to her." ”
Wei Jin'er seems to be often suppressed by Wei Baozhu and Wei Lan'er, but in fact, she is the smartest one, and she won't be surprised by such a thing.
After drinking a few sips of water, Li Qingyi went to bed and prepared to sleep.
Lu Wu and Xiang Lan retreated to the outside room to keep vigil.
Li Qingyi shrank in the brocade, and was just about to close his eyes when he saw a black shadow tumbling down from the beam.
She was so frightened that she almost screamed when she heard two deep words.
"It's me."
"Lord Qin has been squatting on the beams of the house?"
"How?"
Li Qingyi listened to him with a posture of "it's not that I haven't seen it", and said angrily: "It's nothing, since Lord Qin wants to peek and eavesdrop, who can stop it?" ”
Qin Zeng heard a thick resentment in her tone, a little inexplicable, and raised his hand to signal, "Avoid Zi Tang." ”
Hearing this, Li Qingyi glanced at the food box in his hand by the moonlight, "Hmph, it turns out that the adults are here to deliver the soup." ”
Qin Zeng's face was cold, could it be that this girl just pretended to ask him to avoid the soup.
"Don't you want to give me a baby?"
Li Qingyi listened to his reluctant appearance, a vicious breath in his heart, and glared at him angrily, "Even if it's at night, adults don't have to dream casually!." ”
She took the food box, took out the thick soup from it, and drank it all.
Qin Zeng's eyebrows moved slightly, he thought she was playing tricks, but she really drank it without hesitation, and there was a slight strangeness in his heart.
"Aren't you afraid of being poisonous?"
"If you really want me to die, why do you use such tortuous means?"
Qin Zeng lifted his eyelids to look at her, "Hmph, I see that you have a nine-song exquisite heart." ”
Li Qingyi lowered his eyes: "Presumably, adults see today's events, so if you have something to say, just say it." ”
