Chapter 9 --- Methodology

Yan Xi nodded with tears and answered.

Lu Zhi raised his hand, put down his clothes at will, his waist was straight, and he returned to his suitable state, extremely cold.

Yan Xi sobbed twice, his chaotic thoughts gradually calmed down a little, his eyes slowly turned, and he said tentatively:

"Can I meet people now?"

Unexpectedly, the man agreed.

******

In the winter months, the sky has become noticeably colder, especially when there are snowflakes falling scattered in the sky.

Yan Xi was panting, Qinglian supported her, and the two of them almost trotted. Against the backdrop of the snow-colored cloak, the person looks more delicate, like a small white flower blooming in the wind and snow.

Her master and servant were in front, and Lu Zhi was slowly behind, his eyes barely leaving the slender figure.

After half a burnt incense, I went to the prison.

This is not Jingzhao Mansion, the environment of the prison is very bad, the doors and windows are not strict, damp and dark, and there is a musty smell as soon as you step on it.

The gloomy cold wind blew, Yan Xi's footsteps paused slightly, and his first reaction was that he didn't dare to enter.

She wrapped her clothes, covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, trembled her heart, and finally walked in slowly.

In the dimness, the sides of the cell were like iron cages, and from time to time the sound of shackles on the ankles of prisoners could be heard, and occasionally someone moaned and cried.

The little girl looked away after just one glance, and her heart was undoubtedly more panicked and worried.

It was a long time before she found Atai in the dim light.

The young man sat in his clothes, his head bowed, and in the cramped cell, in the dim light, his expression could not be seen clearly.

"Atai!"

Yan Xi's heart tightened, and he rushed eagerly with Qinglian.

The young man in the prison obviously didn't expect it, he was shocked, and suddenly raised his eyes, and when he saw the young lady, he was breathing suddenly, and immediately ran over.

"Miss, why are you here? How could you come to such a place? ”

Yan Xi's eyes were full of tears, and the golden beans were about to come out.

"Are you alright? What the hell is going on? ”

Atai sighed: "It's all my negligence!" I, I don't know what's going on? The goods were bought in batches, and when they were put in the inventory, I placed them with the fat man and the thin man, and there was no one at all, and I didn't realize that there was something inside......"

The more he spoke, the quieter he became, much annoyed, and then sighed again.

Naturally, I also knew that the black heart was just a medicine-powder, the size of half a palm, and it was impossible to find it without opening it and searching carefully.

But then again, that thing is expensive, who is so vicious and has such a bad heart to let this damn thing harm him.

"Miss, get out of here, it's dirty here..."

"Wait for me to save you..."

Atai's lips trembled a few times, and there were tears in his eyes, as if he wanted to speak, but he didn't say it immediately, and finally lowered his head:

"Miss, don't be too wasteful for me, this matter is already a stain on the Lu family, the Jiang family's scholarly family..."

He didn't say any more, but looked up: "... I didn't sell it, at most I was convicted of harboring, five years at most, I can survive, and I must not tarnish the reputation of the young lady because of this! ”

Yan Xi burst into tears and choked up: "How many years do people have for five years?" What's more..."

Her eyes were fixed on the prison's surroundings.

What's more, the environment here, the weather is getting colder and colder day by day, and it is unknown whether it can survive this winter.

Yan Xi: "Don't worry about it, don't worry, take care of yourself..."

Atai: "Miss..."

Qinglian cried and said a few more words to Atai, telling him.

After a stick of incense, the two wiped away their tears and went out of the prison.

Outside, the ground was full of jade dust, snowflakes were fluttering, and the charming eyes were obviously noon, but they couldn't tell that it was noon.

Qinglian put on a coat and veil for the young lady.

Looking up, Yan Xi saw a man standing not far away.

Lu Zhi and Xia Guan stood opposite each other, not knowing what to say, and occasionally a faint and distant smile appeared between his eyebrows and the corners of his lips.

But even such a smile will slowly disappear when the side eyes fall on her.

Yan Xi only met his gaze for a moment, then lowered his head and avoided it.

*******

The carriage back to Lu Mansion was delivered by Lu Zhi, and it was already afternoon.

As soon as Yan Xi entered the mansion, she was told that Jiang Zhiyan had come to look for her.

In the past ten days, Jiang Zhiyan has naturally come to Lu Mansion a lot.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is every day.

When she returned to her bedroom, she told her in detail.

"Jiang Gongzi asked where Miss went, and I said that Miss and Qinglian went to the market. He left quite happily, afraid that he would go to the market to find the young lady. ”

Yan Xi knew about it, but at this time she was so confused that she couldn't be interested in the rest of the people and things.

Qinglian and Peach Hong told the story.

Peach was shocked: "How did the prince ......"

Yes, anyone can see that Lu Zhi is interested in making things difficult for her.

But others were surprised, of course Yan Xi was not.

All afternoon, she was absent-minded, thinking about four things.

First, things are very strange.

Second, the dream.

Third, do you want to ask the Duchess of the country?

Fourth, what did Lu Zhi ask her to do in Jingzhao Mansion?

Except for the first and second, it is useless to think too much at the moment; The third and fourth all scared her.

This is the Lu family, and it was taboo to do business secretly, not to mention being tattered and dissolved.

She is not familiar with the Duchess of the Kingdom, and she is under the fence after all, who knows what people will think of her?

The most important thing is that if you offend Lu Zhi because of this, I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses, and it will not necessarily harm Atai.

In the blink of an eye, it darkened.

The snow had gradually stopped, and the silver sand hung all over the branches, and suddenly a gust of wind came, blowing up a layer of snow and dust, and it drifted in all directions.

In the main room of the peach fragrance residence, the candlelight is lit one after another, and a slender skeleton, concave and convex, and long hair hanging down the waist are reflected on the window from time to time.

Outside the door of the moon cave, the plum tree avoided itself, the branches shook the snow, a man hid behind it, his eyes were wide open, staring closely at the flickering figure, motionless, his eyes were about to burst, he was about to drip blood, leaned less, swallowed several saliva in a row, and his whole body was swollen and hot.

The man put his hands on the ground, waiting for his vision to be obscured, and climbed a few steps from behind the tree in a panic, his eyes continued to focus on the beauty in the room, and he was reluctant to leave for half a while.

However, when he was ecstasy, his neck suddenly tightened and was picked up.

The man said "ah", frightened, and his face turned pale in a blink of an eye.

"Who? Who? ”

"Ye spares his life, he spares his life, he spares his life."

He kept whispering and begging for mercy, but the other party was behind him, tied his hands, and did not say a word, only forcing him to move forward.

The man stumbled, embarrassed, and did not know how long he had been walking, and he did not know where he had been, only that a door had been slammed open by his body.

Then his legs went limp, and he was kicked in the knee by the man behind him, and he fell to his knees on the floor of the room, and his hands touched a pair of soap boots.

When he was shocked, there was a "brush" behind him, the fire fold was beaten, and there was light in the house.

It was also at this time that he suddenly raised his head, followed the feet and looked up, and finally saw the person sitting on the Taishi chair in front of him.

His pupils dilated suddenly, and before a flattering call could be spoken, he let out an "ah" scream.

The soap boots stepped on his hands, and the man on the chair was unhurried, crushing the things under his feet heavily, and his voice was cold and cold.

"How many times?"

"Ah, the son, the son of the world, the son of the world, the son of the world!"

Lu Zhi continued in a deep voice: "I asked you, how many times?" ”

"Ahh

This man is none other than the second lady's maternal nephew, Wang Qing'an.

Wang Qing'an just entered the house half a month ago, the reason was that there was a master in the family to guide him, and he came up with an idea, so that he could live in the Lu family for a while in the name of visiting relatives, behave well, and win the favor and appreciation of Grandpa Guo and Lu Erye, and then be able to find an official and a half-job in the capital.

This person's family is well-off, and he is actually the son of a wealthy party.

However, he is idle, does not do his job, is greedy for pleasure, and is especially lustful.

But no matter how greedy he was for beauty before, he never got to the point where he was fascinated by a girl and did not hesitate to peep.

Not now, since the first time he saw Yan Xi, Wang Qingan was like a demon, and in the past half a month, he has opened and closed his eyes all the little girls who are as beautiful as fairies, and he has been impatient several times, and in the dead of night, his fingers have disappeared.

Indeed, after dark recently, he hid near the peach fragrance house and peeped at the little girl.

However, among the dozen times, only one of them today and a few days ago has seen a person.

I don't want to be caught just twice, or ......

"Don't dare, don't dare! The son of the world spares his life, I really don't dare, I don't dare anymore, ah! ”

Wang Qing'an screamed, his face turned pale, and gradually his blood was gone.

Ten fingers are indeed true.

Just as he felt his finger go off, the man finally lifted his foot.

Wang Qingan immediately took back the left hand that had been run over.

Undoubtedly, it was bloody......

However, he can't manage so much, his hand is saved, but his life may not be.

Everyone in the house knew that the little girl was from the big house.

Everyone knows that the son of the world is the only son of the big house.

Thinking about it, Wang Qingan was already stupidly frightened, and kowtowed again and again to beg for mercy.

"The son spares his life, the son spares his life, this is... This is the last time, I really don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore..."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and slapped himself a few times.

"I'm confused, I'm confused, I'm confused!!"

After a dozen of them, the owner of the soap boots lifted his foot, and finally stopped his hand.

Wang Qing's mouth jumped wildly, he didn't care about the pain, he didn't care about the embarrassment, he knelt in front of him like an ant, looked up at him, smiled hehe, and said flatteringly: "Shi, Shizi..."

Lu Zhi's eyes were deep, his eyes were lowered, and he spoke leisurely for a while.

"Like her?"

Wang Qing'an dared to nod, but listened to it.

"Want to sleep with her?"

The man raised his eyebrows slightly, and then the corners of his lips moved slightly: "Is it difficult?" ”

Wang Qing'an couldn't believe what he had heard.

Especially the latter words......

Lu Zhi slowly got up and bent over, and picked up Wang Qing'an's shirt with his big hand: "She will leave the house at noon tomorrow, and use some methods to make her obedient." ”

After the words were finished, Wang Qing'an's mind was "buzzing", and before he could react, he saw that Lu Zhi had already loosened his clothes, slowly stood up straight, condescendingly, glanced at him coldly, and walked out of the door.

Wang Qingan knelt in place, his tiger eyes widened, and he didn't move for a long time.......
