Chapter 18: Substitution

Yixi, Lin Mansion.

The carved ebony wood bed has a brocade curtain embroidered with auspicious patterns. On the table are jade flasks and cups. The furnishings in the room are all delicate and luxurious, but they exude a lifeless air.

The door was locked from the outside, and the windows were sealed.

A woman in the room was leaning on a couch boredly, fiddling with the rope that bound her feet. The other end of the rope is tied to the foot of the bed, the length of this rope will allow Su Qingci to walk in the house, but the length of the rope is not enough to get out.

This woman is Su Qingci. It's just that she put on a human skin mask at the moment, covering her original appearance, and only a pair of eyes are still sparkling.

A few days ago, according to the address given by the shopkeeper Liu, she came to Yixi alone to find Chu Laohan and his granddaughter who had a pair of seedling hands. finally found someone, but the grandfather and grandson of the Chu family, as Shopkeeper Liu said, were at a loss because of the unreasonable demands of the second master of the Lin family, how could they still have the mind to plant medicine.

Su Qingci was bent on getting the seedlings of the rare medicinal materials, and wanted to carefully ask for advice on the method of cultivation, before Chu Laohan thought that she took advantage of the fire to rob her and knock her out of the door, Su Qingci stomped his feet, his heart was crossed, and he broke the jar and said the idea of substitution.

After negotiating the conditions, Chu Laohan took his granddaughter to escape at night that night, leaving Su Qingci alone to take out his unskilled disguise technique, and according to Miss Chu's face, he hurriedly made a human skin mask and pasted it on his face.

Then, as expected, he was taken captive to the Lin family and locked in this room.

Sighing, Su Qingci muttered in a low voice: "I don't know if the little beggar keeps his word or not, whether he has delivered the news." ”

If the news doesn't arrive, or if Ji Yanzhou refuses to lend a helping hand, it will be troublesome......

Just as he was melancholy, Su Qingci heard footsteps from far and near, and someone came towards the house. She immediately sat up, cleared her throat, and threw herself towards the door, judging the distance of the comer, and at the same time began to bang on the door at the right time, changed her crying tone, and shouted heartbreakingly—

"Let me out! You bastards! Let me out! Even if I die, I don't want to be a concubine for Lin Lao's thief! Let me out! ”

"Little lady, don't shout anymore." The little guy outside the house laughed and said, "Your grandfather has left you and run away, even if you go out, what can you do?" ”

The little maid opened the door a crack, stuffed the food in and put it on the ground, and glanced at Su Qingci from the crack in the door, seeing that she looked lost and depressed, and said with a smile: "Besides, how many people want to be our second master's concubine can't enter the door, and the second master has taken a fancy to you, which is your blessing." ”

Seeing that Su Qingci didn't speak, he persuaded again: "You don't know yet, do you?" Carry you into the door, the second master also specially set up a banquet, and the posts have already been posted, what a face! No one else can hope for it! If you don't eat or drink and seek death and life, it's better to collect your thoughts, serve the second master well, and eat and drink spicy food in the future, and have a good life. ”

Before the door was closed, Su Qingci grabbed a bun and threw it at the little guy's face, crying, "Get out!" ”

The little guy was caught off guard and was hit in the face by the bun, scolded and locked the door, and said angrily: "Phew! I don't know how to lift! ”

Su Qingci cried fiercely, put his ear on the door, and made sure that everyone was far away, so he put it away, brought the food to the table with a smile, and ate it leisurely.

She took the chopsticks and ate a few bites of the same dish, but she didn't finish it, and after six minutes of fullness, Su Qingci raised the bowl and smashed it on the ground together with the rest of the dishes.

In the past few days when he was imprisoned, Su Qingci was also familiar with the habits of the people in the Lin Mansion, and he sent dinner at three o'clock every day, and around the o'clock, there would be a sprinkler maid who would come in to clean up. She dropped her food twice in a row, and as long as the dishes were broken, they wouldn't count them carefully, just as if she hadn't eaten any water.

Don't eat or drink and seek death? She wouldn't!

She Su Qingci's life is precious. In case Ji Yanzhou doesn't come, she has to think of her own way out, but she can't eat and sleep enough, and save some energy.
