Chapter 5: See You Again
Early the next morning, Xiao Tao brought a sumptuous breakfast to her own young lady, Li Mingyue devoured it, eating very roughly, Xiao Tao looked at her with a stunned expression, Li Mingyue caught a glimpse of Xiao Tao's expression, suddenly stopped, and asked tentatively: "Did I not eat like this before?" ”
Xiao Tao didn't answer, just widened her eyes and nodded slightly.
"Hey, hey, hey...... I was just too tired yesterday, and I woke up this morning and felt hungry and panicked, so I ate faster, it's okay, I'll eat slowly. After speaking, Li Mingyue learned from the ladies she had seen in the TV series before, and snorted in small sips.
Li Mingyue: "By the way, Xiao Tao, do you know where Pei Ziyu's home is?" ”
Xiao Tao: "I know, it's not far from our house, and it's only a cup of tea." ”
Li Mingyue: "So close?!" ”
"Hmm." Little Peach nodded.
Li Mingyue's eyes rolled, and an idea immediately popped up, she leaned her face close to Xiao Tao, and whispered: "Then do you know how I can sneak into his mansion and meet him?" ”
"Miss, what are you going to do here? How can you, a daughter who has not yet been out of the cabinet, enter and leave a man's mansion casually? Moreover, Master Pei is now married, if this is discovered, your reputation will be ruined. Xiao Tao said with a panicked face.
"Don't mention his wife, I get angry when I mention it! I have something to ask him personally, I don't care, anyway, I'll give you a stick of incense, you help me figure out a way, I want to meet him. Li Mingyue's tone was resolute, and Xiao Tao didn't dare to contradict it anymore, so she could only do what she wanted.
After a stick of incense, Xiao Tao ran over from outside and said breathlessly, "I... I... Already...... Found it...... See Master Pei... Target...... way. Seeing the situation, Li Mingyue immediately poured her a cup of tea, and gently patted her back with her hand to help her calm down, "Don't worry, don't worry, say it slowly, what's the way?" ”
I saw Xiao Tao drink the cup of tea in one gulp, take a breath and say, "I went to Pei's Mansion just now and found that the outside is heavily guarded, and you can't enter any place where there is a door." Hearing this, Li Mingyue was obviously a little disappointed, Xiao Tao looked at Miss a little deflated, and hurriedly said: "Miss, don't worry, later, after I checked carefully, I found that there is a crooked neck tree at the corner of the back door, if you climb up the tree, you can climb into Pei's mansion, but we have to wait for the evening to act, I have already inquired, the guards guarding outside will change the guard at the end of the day, we can take advantage of this opportunity to climb over the wall." ”
Hearing Xiao Tao say this, Li Mingyue's face immediately turned from cloudy to clear, and she slapped the table happily and stood up, "Okay, let's wait for tonight, Pei Ziyu, I must see you!" ”
In a blink of an eye, Li Mingyue and Xiao Tao were already waiting not far from Pei's mansion, and at this time, the doorman on duty had already gone to the gate to hand over, and the back door was unattended. Li Mingyue trotted a few steps to the crooked neck tree, Xiao Tao followed closely, only to see Xiao Tao kneeling on one knee under the tree, stretching out his hands and interlacing his fingers, Li Mingyue lifted the skirt and stepped on the crooked neck tree, and then climbed smoothly to the eaves along the oblique branches of the crooked neck tree. I saw her sitting there looking around in a hurry, and she couldn't figure out which room was Pei Ziyu's room at all. At that moment, she saw a room with dim candlelight, and a familiar figure was faintly reflected on the pure white window paper...... And a man with a lantern was walking softly towards the house, only to see the man knock lightly on the door, and was called into the house.
The night was exceptionally quiet, and Li Mingyue pricked up her ears and could vaguely hear their conversation.
Servant: "My lord, it's late at night, Madame asked me to take the lamp and lead you back to the house to rest." ”
Pei Ziyu: "No need, I'm still sleeping in the study tonight, so that Mrs. doesn't have to wait for me." ”
The next person: "But you, you have been sleeping in the study since you married the lady back, if the old lady asks again, the little one ...... I really don't know how to explain ...... to the old lady. ”
Hearing this, Pei Ziyu looked at the subordinate with a cold look, and the subordinate was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head, "I still have you to ask about my affairs, I naturally have a way to explain it to the old lady, and I don't need you to put your beak in it!" Shut your mouth and get out of here! ”
"Yes, yes, yes" After listening to Pei Ziyu's words, the next person didn't even dare to raise his head and retreated.
"Have you been sleeping alone in the study since marrying Tang Wanwan?" When Li Mingyue heard this, she was immediately a little happy, "It seems that there is really something else hidden." ”
After a while, after the person retreated, Li Mingyue began to use her hands to pick up the eaves and try to come down slowly, but the wall was too high, even if she hooked her feet straight, she couldn't touch the ground, and she was worried about delaying the time, so she simply jumped down and fell directly to the ground.
"Ouch, it hurts!" Li Mingyue hurriedly covered her mouth in a panic, for fear of being heard by others, only to see her get up quietly, rubbing her buttocks with her hands while secretly glad that she was not discovered, but she turned around and found a cold sword on her neck......
Pei Ziyu: "Who are you?" Why do you climb over the wall and enter my house, say? ”
Li Mingyue was stunned and didn't make a sound, but tears began to roll in her eyes as she saw that familiar face again......
