"Then go ahead and look for it."

I don't know if the news he heard tonight made Qin Mu interested, he just waved his hand and didn't get angry.

Qin Yun suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and after respectfully responding, he hurriedly retreated.

The Prince's Mansion.

Dou Lianyi looked seriously at the personal account book in the dim candlelight, which recorded in detail the dowry she brought at that time, and the richness was staggering.

It's just that most of the list has been crossed out with red ink, and those are all spent on the Junwang Mansion and Lu Shangxuan, the more Dou Lianyi looks at it, the more frightened he becomes, so he can only close the account book for the time being, and sigh deeply.

At this time, Bai Zhi knocked on the door outside, and as soon as she entered the house with permission, she said to Dou Lianyi with some annoyance: "Young lady, no one came to the courtyard to deliver meals today, and the slave maid went to the kitchen to ask, and they didn't want to say it, and they didn't want the slave and maid to take food." ”

In the past, every time Dou Lianyi hesitated and didn't give the dowry to Lu Shangxuan, he would make her hungry until he compromised, and he also said that only by starving her body and skin could she experience the suffering.

So hearing this, Dou Lianyi just smiled disappreciatively and said, "It's not a matter of once or twice, how can it still annoy you every time." ”

She raised her chin and gestured to the sweets and pastries on the table, and ordered, "Take these to the two children, and let them starve with me." ”

"Yes, young lady."

Bai Zhi listened to the order, packed up two identical pastries and put them in the box, turned around and walked out of the house.

The courtyard where the two children lived was not far from Dou Lianyi's house, but the direction was different, Bai Zhi thought about it, and felt that Fu Qing was personally chosen by the young lady, so she went to him first.

It's just that the lanterns hanging on both sides of the bamboo fence gate have been extinguished, Bai Zhi tiptoed to look inside, and found that the courtyard was pitch black, and there was no movement at all.

She tried to whisper a few words, "Fu Qing, have you slept?" The young lady asked me to bring you some pastries. ”

However, after a while, no one came out to respond, Bai Zhi estimated that everyone should have fallen asleep, so she hung the box in her hand next to the bamboo fence, turned around and walked towards the courtyard where Dong Ge'er lived.

Just as Bai Zhi's figure disappeared at the end of the path, a very soft voice suddenly came from the dark courtyard, as if something had fallen to the ground.

Soon, Fu Qing appeared by the bamboo fence door, reached out and took down the box, opened it and saw that there were neatly placed pastries inside, and a touch of surprise flashed on his little face.

He actually never thought that Mrs. Lu would care about such a child as him.

Unlike Fu Qing's side, the courtyard where Dong Ge'er lived was brightly lit, and the little servants and maids were lined up, and there were a few faint reprimands from inside.

"I said I didn't want to eat these! Are you deaf? ”

"I'm the grandson of the county king's mansion, do you understand? I want to eat chestnut cake, fresh peach preserves, do you hear! ”

When Bai Zhi walked a few steps away from the bamboo fence gate, she heard the sound of "crackling" and smashing plates, she frowned, not knowing what was going on inside.

"Angelica dahurica? What are you doing here? ”

At this time, a slave and maid hurriedly passed by, and Bai Zhi quickly stopped her.

The two of them nodded in the house, and they walked over and opened the door and asked.

"Qing'er, the young lady is afraid that she will be hungry for Brother Dong'er, so she asked me to bring some pastries," Bai Zhi handed the box in her hand to Qing'er, and asked with some curiosity: "Brother Dong'er, what's the matter, you have such a big temper?" ”

"Hey, don't mention it, isn't it the food sent from the kitchen that dissatisfies Dong Ge'er, and he's beating things inside."

After Qing'er complained in a low voice, she didn't dare to stay longer, and after greeting Bai Zhi with the box, she hurried back to the house to serve.

Seeing this, Bai Zhi also hurried back to report the matter to Dou Lianyi.

"Young lady, you don't know how big that Dong Ge'er is, he throws things and scolds, it's really scary."

Dou Lianyi had already gone to bed and was ready to rest under the servant girl's service, and she didn't know about Dong Ge'er's bad temperament, so she was a little interested, and asked casually: "What is Fu Qing's situation?" ”

"It was dark on his side, and no one came out after I shouted a few times, so I hung the box at the door."

"Went to bed so early? Isn't there anyone in the courtyard guarding it? ”

Hearing this, Dou Lianyi was a little displeased, she raised her head and glanced outside the house, knowing that behind this favoritism must be the instructions of Old Madam Lu and Lu Shangxuan.

"I didn't see it," Bai Zhi wasn't sure, but she could see that the young lady was unhappy, so she proposed, "Why don't I take another look?" ”

Dou Lianyi nodded, and then thought about it again, but still lifted the curtain and changed his words: "Forget it, I'll go over in person tomorrow." ”

If she can win over the famous ghost general, it will be a big help.

It's just that Fu Qing is still a child after all, and she has no way to do anything to him with her conscience......

Dou Lianyi pinched his eyebrows with some complicated feelings, closed his eyes, turned over, and tried to fall asleep.

It took a few moments for her breathing to settle down.

When Dou Lianyi woke up, it was just dawn outside, she got up silently and sat for a while, then got out of bed and put on her shoes, ready to go to Fu Qing's yard to have a look.

Her movement was not loud, and Bai Zhi, who was sleeping in the cubicle, did not notice it at all.

Unexpectedly, not far from the yard, Dou Lianyi's left eyelid began to jump desperately, and her heart was a little uneasy.

In the next second, Lu Shangxuan rushed over from behind her and stopped her.

"Lianniang, I have something to tell you."

Dou Lianyi turned around and stood quietly in place, lowering his eyes and staring at the upper of his shoes.

Seeing Dou Lianyi like this, Lu Shangxuan's heart suddenly became a little uncomfortable.

In the past, as long as Lianniang saw him, she was smiling with her eyebrows and eyes, but now she looks cold and indifferent.

Otherwise, what you can't get is the best, Lu Shangxuan is inexplicably a little unaccustomed to such a ripple.

Before he could delve into it, he heard Dou Lianyi's voice sounding flatly: "If there is nothing to do, I will leave first." ”

"Don't go yet!" Lu Shangxuan stopped Dou Lianyi at once, and said very quickly: "The day after tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, you go with me to visit the lanterns." ”

Hearing this, Dou Lianyi frowned a little suspiciously, not very clear about Lu Shangxuan's true intentions.

In the previous life, Lu Shangxuan took Lu Lianzhi to visit the lanterns, and he was left alone at home to take care of Dong Ge'er.

"People are about after dusk, the moon is on the willow tops," Dou Lianyi raised his eyes to look directly at Lu Shangxuan, and a faint mockery passed by his eyes, "Such a romantic lantern festival, I thought you would travel with my sister-in-law." ”

"Naturally, I want to go with you, Mrs., Lianniang, what are you talking about."

Lu Shangxuan pretended to be surprised on his face, but in his heart he regretted that he couldn't look at the beautiful lantern with Zhi'er.
