Chapter 3 Recalling First Acquaintances
That night, a strange visitor broke into the Liranyuan of Luo family—
The person who came was wearing a black nightwear and a mask, and couldn't see his appearance clearly, but the faint smell of blood in the air reminded me that he might be an assassin, an injured assassin, but why did he hide here?
"Don't move." It seemed that the person on the bed had discovered him. The man pulled out a dagger with blood from his cuff. The dagger shook a white and cold light under the moonlight.
My heart trembled and I found that I had no weapon to resist, so I could only shrink my head into the quilt.
For some reason, there was no movement outside. In a moment, there was a chaotic footsteps outside the yard. I looked out carefully and saw the person who was holding a dagger and threatening me, sitting on the chair, panting heavily. I had long known where the dagger was hidden.
"Do you want to hide?" I calmed down in panic as I listened to the messy footsteps outside, and asked lazily.
The man seemed to be stunned, then he jumped onto the beam of the room. At that moment, the door was pushed open.
"Miss, have you seen a man in night clothes?" The guard at the beginning was Xu Lie, who was more important to my father. He said while looking at the house.
"Can you just go into my room now if you check it?" I hurried under the quilt and looked at the group of people with a smile.
"...Miss forgives the crime, but the man appeared in the mansion without authorization. The master gave an order, afraid that the man would do something bad, so he asked his subordinates to lead people to search the yard one by one." Xu Lie pursed his lips and said cautiously.
"No obstacles, it's just disturbing my dreams. Just remember it next time." I waved my hand and said without caring.
"Yes, that subordinate takes people to investigate elsewhere." Xu Lie bowed his hand and turned around to take people out.
"Why did I ask if there is a smell of blood in the air?"
As soon as this sentence was said, Xu Lie paused. It was not that he had noticed that the eldest lady was also half the master of the Luo Mansion. She had already trespassed and asked if she had seen a man wearing night clothes. She thought that she would just turn a blind eye. Who knew that this new boy was so ignorant!
I looked at the person who spoke, a scholar who had never seen before but looked pretty. I looked up at him and said in a low voice: "I'm just a menstrual period in my daughter's house. Do you want to check it out in person?"
"I dare not, this is the new Mr. Xiao, that is, Mr. Xiao saw the man wearing night clothes, so the master asked Mr. Xiao and his subordinates to investigate together." Xu Lie smiled stiffly, and he wanted to tear off this troublesome Mr. Xiao.
"Oh? Then it won't delay you from pursuing it. I'm going to sleep, you guys go." I didn't want to argue with this gentleman and that gentleman, waved my hand and signaled them to leave quickly.
Soon, Xu Lie left Liran Courtyard with his people and left Liran Courtyard. Xiao Yuehe looked back at the yard that had calmed down again, turned to look at Xu Lie and asked, "That person should have been here."
"Mr. Xiao, it's better to have less trouble than more. The master arranged a secret guard for the lady. If there was danger or need, the lady would have secret guards to protect him. For those of us servants, try not to make it difficult for the master to do it." Xu Lie sighed and said earnestly.
"Yes, Mr. Xiao has been taught." Xiao Yuehe nodded, looking like he had been taught.
"Continue looking!" Xu Lie also understood that it was possible that the man was still in the lady's yard, but he still had to do his best.
Liranyuan—
"I don't know if the lady is having a menstrual period, which makes her frightened." The man swayed down from the beam and sat on the chair and looked at the woman on the bed with some fun.
"If it's okay, Mr. Jiang can go back. After all, this is not a safe place." I turned around, yelled, and said a little sleepy.
"Do you recognize me?" The man was a little confused, but then laughed a little and said indifferently: "Why didn't that girl let those people catch me just now?"
"My father still has a good impression of Mr. Jiang. I don't want the old man to think that the only person he agrees is a thief who climbs the walls in the middle of the night." I squinted my eyes and turned my back to him, and teased with my spirit.
"Ha, it was too late that day, so I'll say goodbye first." After the man said that, he left the window, and his voice disappeared into the cold moonlight.
"Oh." I sighed, but I felt sleepy. When I thought of the old man who praised Mr. Jiang, I couldn't help but sigh. When I remembered the dagger that once threatened my life, I couldn't help but feel a little funny. If the old man knew that Mr. Jiang used the dagger given by the emperor to threaten a little girl, what would it look like? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little better. I turned around and went to play chess with Mr. Zhou.
When I wake up again, I'm no longer the Luo family...
I slept on the table all night, and my whole body was sore, but when I remembered the first time I met Jianghuai in my dream, I couldn't help but laugh.
Jiang Huai didn't know how I recognized him, but I didn't know either. I only remember that my father once said that the son of Mr. Jiang next door had handled a case for the emperor, so the emperor gave him a dagger that he protected as a child to show his grace.
But at that time, my father just mentioned it casually, and I just heard it casually, but I didn't expect that I really met the son of the minister who was famous all over the world. Now there is no son of the minister, no Luo family, and no Luo Yuran anymore.
For memories, it can only prove that I have existed!
After breakfast, Song Qi appeared in our yard again, which surprised me very much. Later I learned that my junior sister explained to You Chen last night that I was going to find her and contact her. It was just that my sisterly love was deep, so how could she seduce her?
I think it is probably because You Chen's thoughts are too avant-garde. I really believe that there will be love among women, but at least I don't have to copy books, which is a good thing.
"The news came down from the mountain, saying that it was the Jianghuai representative Daliang who was on the Western Regions to be sent to the Western Regions. It was said that the Western Regions were outstanding, but I don't know whether it was true or false?" Song Qi stood up and sighed at the pear tree in the distance.
"If you want to go so much, you can also pursue a career. Maybe you can see the beauties of the Western Regions when you go." I pruned the branches and leaves of the pear tree and thought casually.
"..." He was silent for a while, not knowing what he was thinking, and then said for a moment: "I haven't seen it before."
"How old are you this year, you dare to call yourself me?" I put down the scissors and glanced at him.
"Ger than you." Song Qi looked at me and said silently.
"..." I had nothing to say. On this mountain, one or two were older than me. My junior brother was older than me, and my junior nephew was older than me, hey!
"So, uncle, you must admit that you have more than a little better than ours." Song Qi was thinking of something, and his face looked bitter and helpless.
"A good life is proportional to hard work, otherwise no matter how good your life is, you will be defeated." I nodded and looked at Lihua with a little lost consciousness.
"I didn't expect you to be so enlightened." Song Qi looked at me with a look of surprise.
Then he was driven out by me.
