Outside the half-hidden door, Fen'er was holding a pot of freshly brewed hot tea, staring at the scene inside in disbelief through the crack in the door.

Although I can't see it clearly, but the second lady is so close to Li Ke, what is this doing?

Could it be that they have a personal affair!

Fen'er's hands shook in fright by her bold guess, and the teacup in her hand made a slight noise.

Immediately, the two people in the house noticed it.

Li Ke took the lead in getting up and shouted vigilantly in a low voice: "Who's outside?" ”

Seeing that it was wrong, where did Fen'er dare to linger more, and as soon as she turned around, she wanted to run back and forth, for fear that if she was caught, there would be no good fruit to eat.

It's just that there are verandahs all around, where is there a hiding place, just when Fen'er was so anxious that she didn't know what to do, suddenly a pair of hands poked out from the pillar behind the porch and pulled her over!

By the time Li Ke pushed the door out to take a look, the house was already empty.

He cautiously poked his head out again to look left and right, but only heard a few "meow" cat meows not far away.

"What's going on, who was out there just now?"

"It should be a wild cat," Li Ke responded, his tongue on top of his teeth, there was a feeling of unhappiness that a good thing had been ruined, he raised his voice slightly, and he didn't know who he was warning: "But don't worry, second miss, you will go and deal with all the beasts that shouldn't exist in this yard later!" ”

At this time, Lu Lianzhi in the house also regained her senses because of Li Ke's departure, she frowned slightly, and was a little puzzled by her behavior just now.

It's also strange how she would want to trust someone who doesn't fully know the details.

It's like you've been bewitched by something.

Before she could think clearly, she saw that Li Ke was already preparing to close the door again, and Lu Lianzhi hurriedly ordered: "Open the door to breathe, this room is weird." ”

"Yes, Second Miss."

Li Ke's hand on the door paused, and his eyes answered darkly.

And Lu Lianzhi didn't notice it, she reached out and picked up the teapot and poured herself a cup of flower tea, and then didn't forget to warn Li Ke: "In the future, no matter how big or small, you must come to report to me, you can't do it privately without my permission, otherwise if something happens to you, I will never save you, did you hear?" ”

"The little one understands."

"Alright, you can go down."

Just as Li Ke was about to retreat according to the order, Lu Lianzhi seemed to think of something, so she asked him casually.

"By the way, what kind of incense have you ever used on you? Why do I smell a strange fragrance on you? ”

Li Ke stood still, and a faint weird smile appeared on his lowered face.

Cold and fragrant, it really lives up to its name.

However, his tone was as respectful as ever, "If you return to the second lady, the little one never likes to use incense. ”

"Well, that's nothing to do, you go down."

Lu Lianzhi didn't feel at ease, she only felt that maybe she had smelled other fragrances, so she waved her hand to let Li Ke leave.

When Li Ke's figure left almost half a pillar of incense, a person sneaked out from behind the rockery under the verandah.

The man looked to be no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, and his face was very clever and pleasant, and when he saw that he was indeed safe, he beckoned Fen'er to come out.

"Sister Fen'er, are you alright?"

Fen'er shook her head, she was so frightened that her forehead and back were covered with cold sweat, and now she couldn't help but sneeze when she was blown by the autumn wind.

"I didn't, sneeze!"

Seeing this, the family next to him persuaded a little anxiously: "You still said that you are fine, go back and change your clothes, otherwise if you catch the cold, you will be scolded by the second lady again." ”

"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, why did you appear here, little Liuzi?"

Fen'er wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve and asked with some confusion.

"It's not that the second lady has lost her temper, saying that her mahogany table has been broken for a while and no one has changed to a new one," Xiao Liuzi touched his nose and looked a little pitiful and said, "As a result, the big housekeeper gave me this unlucky errand, so I had to come over and see what was going on." ”

Hearing this, Fen'er also patted her chest and whispered happily: "It's fortunate that you came, otherwise I would have been finished just now." ”

"Sister Fen'er, what did you see, and why were you scared like that?"

Xiao Liuzi was a little puzzled, and couldn't help but ask with concern.

"This ......"

It's just that when he saw the hesitant look on Fen'er's face, he hurriedly said: "If Sister Fen'er doesn't want to say it, then don't say it, just think that Xiao Liuzi just talked too much." ”

Thinking about how thrilling the situation was just now, Fen'er couldn't help but be afraid.

So when she looked at Xiao Liuzi's immature face showing a worried look about herself, her heart suddenly relaxed, and after thinking about it, she still opened her mouth and revealed it to him softly.

At the end, Fen'er nervously told Xiao Liuzi repeatedly: "You must not tell anyone else these words, if this matter spreads, we will not be able to stay in the county king's mansion!" ”

Xiao Liuzi looked shocked, obviously not coming back to his senses, but nodded sluggishly and responded: "Don't worry, Sister Fen'er, I will definitely not tell anyone else about this." ”

However, when everyone was having dinner in the evening, Xiao Liuzi saw that no one noticed him, so he secretly came to Dou Lianyi's courtyard.

"Little Liuzi, come here."

Yuzhu from a distance noticed him, and when he saw that he was only wandering outside the courtyard, he was embarrassed, so he opened the courtyard door and beckoned people over.

She took out a pair of freshly accepted soles from her arms, handed them to Xiao Liuzi, and said with a smile: "Why don't you come in, well, this is your sister Bai Zhi's own hand, saying that she saw that you were going to give you a pair, and the soles of your shoes are thin when it is almost winter, and you have to be comfortable with this kind of pad." ”

"Thank you, Sister Yuzhu," Xiao Liuzi took it in surprise and put it in his arms, thanked him repeatedly, and said sweetly: "I'm waiting to see Sister Bai Zhi, I will definitely thank her well." ”

"By the way, why did you come here at this point, did you have dinner?"

Yuzhu asked with some confusion.

"I have something to find the young lady," Xiao Liuzi looked left and right for a while, then lowered his voice and explained: "The big butler has been asking me to run errands for the second lady, and while the big guy is eating, I finally found a time to sneak over." ”

"Don't come in soon."

Hearing this, Yuzhu didn't say more, but gently pushed Xiao Liuzi inside, and then closed the courtyard door tightly.

At this time, Dou Lianyi was standing in the verandah, directing the family to build a grapevine trellis in the backyard, and out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Xiao Liuzi poking his head out from behind a pillar.
