Chapter 31: Daring
"I don't know that, do I?" Lord Lu looked at his wife with a puzzled face and said, "I came to call my daughter to dinner, and when I saw her embroidering seriously, I wanted to tease her, so I walked over quietly and patted her on the shoulder." Looking at the girl who was calm and her face was still flushed, she said, "It's okay to play around and blindfold her in the past, but this time the reaction is too big!" It scared the other out of me. ”
"Daddy, I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you." Lu Jincian was blessed and said embarrassedly with a red face.
This serious apology made Lord Lu confused, "Why are you so polite with me?" He looked at his wife and said, "Madame! Do you feel that something is wrong with your daughter? ”
"What's wrong?" Mrs. Lu looked at him suspiciously and said.
"Why is she going to see me! I'm her father, my own father. Master Lu pointed to himself and said.
"Can the cicada tell her mother what's wrong? Why? This is the government office, safe and sound! Mrs. Lu walked over, bent down with her skirt, and looked at her daughter at eye level.
"Uh......" Lu Jincian avoided her gaze and secretly aimed at her father.
"Did you get frightened by anything?" Mrs. Lu thought about these days carefully, "You didn't buy candy at the door of the back office in the afternoon, what happened." Raised his eyes slightly to look at the girl's personal maid Yan Hong, "Yan Hong, you say?" ”
"It's the candy seller's uncle's broken mouth, you have to be careful of the people you know well, and do the work of the flower thief." Yan Hong grabbed her skirt with both hands and said nervously.
"How are you going to get her to listen to this." Mrs. Lu looked at Yan Hongdao with a blue face.
After a plop, Yan Hong knelt down and said, "Madame spare your life, Madame spare your life, just this sentence, the slave maid hurriedly pulled the young lady back." The sugar man didn't even buy it. ”
"How does the golden cicada know about the flower thief?" Lord Lu looked at Yan Hong with sharp eyes and said.
"It wasn't the slave who said it, it wasn't the slave who said it." Yan Hong's eyes waved her hand in a panic with tears in her eyes, "These days, everyone knows that flower thieves are making trouble, and Miss hasn't seen the adults come back for a long time, so she went to the front office to inquire, and heard the messengers muttering behind the door and eavesdropping." "Hurriedly added," the slave and maid came back with the young lady, and she asked the slave and maid, and the slave and maid said that it was a little thief who picked flowers. "The slave didn't say anything else, really." How could the slave and maid dirty the young lady's ears with those words. ”
"Regardless of Yanhong's business, don't punish her." Lu Jincian stood in front of Yan Hong and stretched out his arms and said, "I asked the cook later." ”
"Yanhong, go down first!" Hearing this, Mrs. Lu waved her hand to let Yan Hong retreat.
"Yes!" Yan Hong's eyes looked at Lu Jincia who was defending himself warmly, stood up and retreated.
Lord Lu looked at their mother and daughter with a tense jaw and said, "Let's sit down and talk." As he spoke, he picked up the bamboo chair in the corridor and placed it in the corridor, "Sit!" ”
Mrs. Lu took the chair and put it down, and pulled her daughter to sit down together.
Lord Lu's gaze turned to the two of them, "Is the matter of this flower thief so widespread?" ”
"We live in the back office, and if there is anything going on in the front office, even if you listen to the root of the wall, you can know it." Mrs. Lu stared at him with beautiful eyes and said, "You haven't been home for many days because of business, and my daughter went to the front office to find you because she missed you." ”
"What does a girl have? Ask us! Why are you looking for a cook? Mrs. Lu turned to look at her slightly and said.
"You're all hiding it from me." Lu Jincian pouted and whispered, "That flower thief is not the same as Yan Hong said at all. ”
Lord Lu and Mrs. Lu looked at each other, and they had the same weakness in their eyes.
"You're still young, you shouldn't know this too early." Mrs. Lu looked at her gently and said, "Yan Hong is right, so as not to dirty your ears." ”
"But mother, sage cloud: men and women are seven years old at different seats." Lu Jinchan's clear eyes looked at the two of them and said, "I'm eight years old, and I should say goodbye in a few years." You can get married in the year of the marriage. ”
Lu Jincian was speechless when the words of the two were dumbfounded, and the words of the girl could not be refuted.
"It's still too early to get married, now tell my dad what the cook told you." Lord Lu asked without blinking with his dark eyes.
"What the cook said was vague, and I was confused, anyway, don't let strange men get close to you. If you move your hands and feet, you must resist, shout for help, and run desperately. Lu Jincian looked at them with innocent eyes and said, "The people who bought candy today can't ...... people who know each other" and said cautiously, "Dad, this is cold." He said embarrassedly, "I'm reacting too much, I won't be next time, I won't." ”
"It's not your fault." When Mrs. Lu heard this, she grabbed her daughter's hand and patted her, "When my daughter is older, there are indeed some things to avoid, and the same is true for my father and daughter." ”
"Mother?" Lu Jinciao's smart eyes looked at Mrs. Lu in confusion and said, "What do you mean?" ”
"In this world, there are fathers, stepfathers, and even relatives who are not as good as beasts." Mrs. Lu said with an ugly face, and looked at her daughter again with gentle eyes, "You are still young now, and you have less experience, and when you see more, you will know, this man!" Suddenly remembered his father-in-law, and quickly changed his words, "The cook is right, you must remember to resist and tell your father and mother about this." ”
"But can I beat a man? I can't run away with a man like Daddy! Lu Jinchan's eyes secretly glanced at Lord Lu.
"Then pretend to submit, and then give him a fatal blow, don't hit him hard." Mrs. Lu taught her daughter softly.
As soon as Mrs. Lu looked up, she saw Lord Lu who was stunned, "Xianggong, Xianggong!" ”
Lord Lu stood up with a pale face, "You eat first, and I'll come when I go." ”
"Dad, what's wrong?" Lu Jincian said with some fear, his face was gloomy and very scary.
Mrs. Lu's beautiful eyes turned slightly, and she turned around in the direction where her daughter and her father-in-law left, and there were some vague conjectures in her heart, which had to wait for the father-in-law to come back and confirm it.

Lord Lu was wrapped in anger, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he waved his hand to let Aunt Gu retreat.
After Aunt Gu stepped back, Lord Lu yelled at Ye Sanniang like thunder, "Ye Sanniang, you are so bold. ”
Ye Sanniang, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed board, was stunned by the sudden roar of him, blinked her deep eyes and said, "I don't quite understand what the prefect means?" How daring I am. ”
"Rumors!" Lord Lu squeezed out two words from between his teeth.
Ye Sanniang's black pupils shrank sharply when she heard this, and then said casually, "How are I in the prison to spread rumors?" I can't afford to be convicted of this crime by the prefect. "Flatly denied.
