Chapter Seventy-Five: Captivity

I don't know how long it was, Lin Qingwan slowly opened his eyes.

What catches your eye is the jagged and uneven rough stone wall, and the dim oil lamp reflects its figure on the stone wall. It seems that this is a prison cell, and she is now coincidentally imprisoned here.

But why are she here? She was ...... last night.

Men in black, pockets, broken arms, a sea of flowers, and blood.

In an instant, the memory of last night was clearly replayed in her mind, and the screams she heard at night, Lin Qingwan seemed to be startled by her own memory, and pressed her hands on her heart, as if she could press the pounding heart and panic back into the depths.

If her current imprisonment is because of what she bumped into last night, then it can also mean that this dungeon is in Chu Mansion, and the man in black is Chu Fuyan's subordinate.

At...... Doing something for him?

Recognizing the current situation, Lin Qingwan relaxed a little and looked at the things around him.

The cell was like a single room at the end, there were no guards, the space was spacious and clean, under her was a stone bed with a soft quilt, a shabby wooden table and bench in the corner, and the faint sound of whipping in the distance was accompanied by one after another begging for mercy, crying and piercing screams and tears.

"Someone! Someone!" Lin Qingwan pondered for a moment and shouted loudly.

In any case, she could not sit still here, nor could she associate Chu Fuyan, who had always been gentle as jade to her, with these bloody and cruel pictures.

However, it was obviously full of all kinds of voices, but no matter how Lin Qingwan shouted, no one stepped forward.

Are they trying to keep her here to fend for herself? What time is it?

Did Chu Fuyan know that she was imprisoned?

Or is that what he meant?

Thousands of questions and assumptions swirled in Lin Qingwan's mind, and every time she stayed here, she had more questions, and every question was like a shackle that bound her breathlessly.

"Chu Fu Yan ......"

Lin Qingwan sat down on the cold ground dejectedly, leaning back against the iron railing, clasping his arms and knees, burying his face deep in it, and whispering Chu Fuyan's name.

"Master, this is a new snow swallow soup specially made for you in the small kitchen today, can you still eat it if you taste it?" Tsing Yi took out the silver needle and stirred it lightly in the soup, and only after seeing that there was nothing unusual did he carefully put it in front of Lu Zhao.

"Where's the young master?" Lu Zhao ate without a bite, and his mind was all elsewhere.

"The young master has not returned to the house yet. Tsing Yi stood aside and lowered his eyebrows and said. Hearing this, Lu Zhao turned his head sideways and looked Tsing Yi up and down with doubts: "You haven't come back yet, aren't you perfunctory to me?" ”

"How dare the slave and maid perfunctory madam, the second young master has been out for a long time, if the news comes back, the news will definitely spread, not to mention that the slave maid goes to inquire every day, and everyone in the house says that the second young master has not returned yet. ”

Tsing Yi knelt down and kowtowed with a panicked face: "The slave knows that the lady cares about the second young master, so the slave and the maid never dare to slack off on what the lady instructs." ”

What kind of temper Lu Zhao is, these people who serve inside and outside are all clear, and the slightest carelessness on the board is light, so since Tsing Yi was promoted to the first-class big girl next to Lu Zhao, she has been trembling in doing things for fear of provoking her in the slightest.

Lu Zhao didn't care when he saw that she was kowtowing and showing loyalty again.

Originally, she just said it casually, but she didn't expect this newly raised maid to be so timid that she couldn't stand the slightest fright.

Waving his hand to signal her to get up, Lu Zhao then asked, "What about that little slut?" Tsing Yi, who had just gotten up, was stunned for a moment, and was almost about to kneel down again, but fortunately, she reacted in time with a turn of her mind.

"Does the master mean the young lady? The slave and maid have not seen the young lady since this morning, and they haven't even seen the bronze finch beside the young lady. ”

"Young lady, she is also worthy!"

Lu Zhao angrily threw the spoon in his hand into the bowl and splashed the residue of the table. Then I thought of something: "What did you just say?

Seeing Tsing Yi nodding inexplicably, Lu Zhao suddenly laughed, but this smile made Tsing Yi feel panicked no matter how he looked at it.

"Go, find a bright dress, we should go and say hello to the young lady." "There must be a demon when things go wrong, she is worried that she can't find Lin Qingwan's demon place, but now she is in the middle of it!

Lin Qingwan dared to go against her again and again, there was always something to make her look good!

Here, Lu Zhao dressed up and walked towards Lin Qingwan's residence with a handful of maids, and after a while, the maids who were sweeping outside the courtyard had already seen it from a distance, and hurriedly went to inform the bronze bird.

Originally, Lin Qingwan's failure to return overnight had already made Tongque very anxious, where did the young lady go, and when will she come back?

She still doesn't know any of this, but Lu Zhao bumped into this mouth again and came to find fault, how can this be good, Lu Zhao and his young lady are like fire and water, but they are not a master who will let the maid pass it on.

Sure enough, after a while, the voices of the maids greeting each other came from the courtyard, and Tong Que couldn't help but think about it, so he immediately went out and bent his knees in front of Lu Zhao: "Young Mrs. Lu is fine." ”

Lu Zhao's eyes swept contemptuously over the bronze sparrow blocking his eyes, and he snorted lightly and raised his foot to pass by her.

Unexpectedly, Tongque stopped in front of her one step ahead of her and said respectfully: "Young Mrs. Lu, my wife was unwell this morning, and ordered not to see outsiders, failed to notify Young Mrs. Lu in advance, and it was the negligence of Young Lady Lu to take this trip. My wife has fallen asleep now, so please go back to Mrs. Lu. ”

"Back?"

Lu Zhao pulled out a mocking smile: "I have all arrived at the door, how can I say that I will go back." Isn't your wife unwell, that's just right, I eat the new blood swallow soup in my small kitchen today, and I specially brought a bowl here, maybe this bowl of blood swallow will be healthy for your wife. ”

Lu Zhao raised his hand to signal, and immediately a maid with a plate stepped forward and went straight to the door. Tongque's heart was anxious, and he said sharply: "Someone! Stop her!"

After all, Tongque is a first-class maid who has followed Lin Qingwan for many years, and the young lady's absence from Tongque's order is equivalent to the young lady's order, and the low-level maid naturally stands dutifully in front of the door and does not allow Lu Zhao's people to take another step.

It's really good! Lin Qingwan is a slut!

It's okay to go against her all along, but now even a servant girl next to her dares to be so arrogant and not take her seriously!

Lu Zhao pointed at the copper finch with a bright red kodan, and he was trembling with anger for a while, and he didn't know what to say.

Seeing this, Tsing Yi hurriedly stepped forward to support Lu Zhao, and his eyes glared at Tong Que viciously.

"Bold! My wife is a dignified princess of Showa, according to the number of status and etiquette, even if the young lady sees it, she has to bow down and ask the princess how well, you are just a slave, and you dare to disobey the will of the princess, don't you think your life is long!"

"Tongque is presumptuous, please ask Mrs. Lu Shao to forgive her sins. ”

Although the bronze finch knelt down to plead guilty, his expression was neither humble nor arrogant. She also knew that her actions just now were too presumptuous, but Lu Zhao had such a relationship with his own wife, and every day he was just waiting to find out the mistakes of the young lady and suppress them to death, if she knew that the young lady was gone, she might not know how many rights and wrongs would be born, and she would not let Lu Zhao succeed today no matter what.

"Drag me down and fight!" If you don't kill this, it's really hard to dispel her anger.

"Mrs. Lu Shao is cautious. Tongque is the son of the young lady's family, and followed the young lady to marry to the Chu Mansion, and the life and death of the copper finch is naturally decided by the second young master and the young lady, and the young lady Lu is like this...... When it reaches the ears of the second young master, I am afraid that it will tarnish your reputation of Young Madam Lu. ”

Tongque said euphemism, Lu Zhao is not a fool, so he can naturally understand it.

As the saying goes, marrying a chicken is followed by a chicken and a dog is married to a dog, Lu Zhao was married to Chu Mansion, not Chu Fuyan rushed to be a concubine.

What's more, she is not in the main room in the Chu Mansion, and she is a side lady to put it nicely, but it is a concubine room.

This marriage is a truth from the royal family to the common people, the first-class maid next to the lady of the main room is still a child, even if she makes a big mistake, life and death need to be decided by the master's mother, and she is not a concubine, and she still holds the princess's order to show off her power in her husband's house and say that she will kill and kill.

If this gets out...... The loss of the princess's reputation is a small matter, but the damage to the royal reputation is a big thing.

What's more, if she does this, Lin Qingwan will definitely not give up, looking at Chu Fuyan's attitude towards Lin Qingwan now, if she really makes trouble, Lu Zhao will not be able to get any benefit even if she is a princess.

Maybe it will be disgusted by Chu Fuyan, and the emperor will also reprimand her for acting recklessly regardless of the royal face, which will outweigh the losses.

Thinking of this, even if Lu Zhao was unwilling, he had to knock out his teeth and swallow blood.

The fingers on Tsing Yi's arm were secretly tightened until the knuckles were white.

This is a stain that Lu Zhao can't change, and it's her sore spot, no matter who says it, she can't wait to break that person's body into thousands of pieces!

Lu Zhao had so much strength that he cut his sleek and small nails into the flesh of Tsing Yi.

Tsing Yi subconsciously withdrew her hand in pain, and as soon as she made a little movement, she met Lu Zhao's eyes that were as bright as copper bells, her face was hideous, her eyes were fierce, like a bloodthirsty ghost, she was so frightened that she didn't dare to take a mouthful, and let Lu Zhao endure the blood of her arm.

"Bronze, finch!"

Lu Zhao gritted his teeth word by word, as if he wanted to tear the person kneeling in front of him clean.

After a long time, he angrily threw the blood swallow soup beside the copper sparrow. "Let's go!"

After Lu Zhao and the other maids were gone, Tong Que took a long breath and stood up, beckoning the maids who came to sweep to clean up the broken bowl of soup.

Lu Zhao's side is considered to have offended a clean today, if the young lady does not come back, Lu Zhao will have nothing to do if she makes trouble again, and when the time comes, the new account and the old account will be counted together, her life and death do not matter, I am afraid that the young lady will be affected......

Rather than waiting like this, I don't know when the young lady will come back, perhaps, she can still strike first?
