Chapter 48: I was knocked into the pond by that dead girl!
The next day, the morning light was dim.
After Song Lingyi paid her respects to the old lady and came out of the yard, she ran into Lu Qian.
It's true that enemies meet in a narrow road.
After complaining in her heart, she wanted to take a detour and leave when there was no one around, but Lu Qian actually climbed over the wooden fence and blocked her way.
Song Lingyi took a half step back, her expression alert: "What's wrong with you again?"
The young man who blocked her way stared at her without moving his eyes.
A pair of auspicious phoenix eyes that could see through fire, dark and deep, hiding a prudence that had not been revealed in the past few days.
"Have you offended anyone recently?"
“…”Song Lingyi.
I don't understand why the pretty boy asked this, but when I think about how I had given myself to the bandit leader before coming to Beijing, I can't help feeling a little guilty.
"No." The tone of the response was not as confident as before.
Lu Qian strode forward with his long legs, his eyes pressing aggressively, "Are you serious?"
"Hmm." The girl raised her eyebrows and pretended to be relaxed.
The distance between the two people shortened.
Lu Qian's thick eyebrows were slightly frowned, showing an aggressive look. The scent of his breath mixed with a light sandalwood scent filled the girl's nose. In the silence, her heart was beating like a drum.
"You don't know His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
“…”
I was so nervous, wondering what he was going to say.
Song Lingyi's shoulders relaxed slightly, and she said unhappily, "You think too highly of me, don't you? I've only been in Kyoto for a short time. How would I know His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
"How about you introduce him to me?" The girl looked up at him, her eyes clear and frank.
Lu Qian frowned.
It seems that the dead girl did not lie, then why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince use her portrait to look for someone?
Could it be that he was mistaken, and the person in the portrait was not the dead girl?
Thinking of this, Lu Qian felt inexplicably relieved.
"That's a nice thought." He leaned forward slightly and said bluntly, "The Lu family is lucky enough to take you in and give you food. You should always be vigilant and grateful. If you want to climb the high branch of the Eastern Palace, you have to consider whether you are worthy of it."
Song Lingyi's eyes widened.
paralysis!
I really want to slap him twice!
After arguing with her, Lu Qian was in a particularly good mood. He hummed a little tune and walked straight around her to the old lady's yard.
The girl stood there and took several deep breaths, constantly comforting herself:
Don't be angry with stupid people~ Don't be angry with stupid people~
If you want to live in the Duke of Jin's Mansion, you have to live with the pretty boy for a long time and keep having conflicts with him, which will only cause trouble for yourself.
Don't be angry~
The girl closed her eyes and slowly exhaled.
When he opened his eyes again, the anger in them hadn't disappeared at all.
no!
The further you go, the more they push you; the more you take a step back, the angrier you get!
The girl suddenly turned around and stared at the figure in brocade robe.
Under the winding corridor is a pond about one meter deep, with willow branches hanging on the shore. There are no servants around, and it is very quiet.
Lu Qian, who was almost at the end of the corridor, heard some movement behind him.
He glanced back, but before he could see anything clearly, a dark shadow suddenly hit his lower abdomen.
After a strong feeling of stagnation in the air, the pond exploded with a loud splash.
The young man fell into the water like a scallion!
Although Lu Qian was a playboy, he was good at riding and shooting, and was very strong. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for him to be easily pushed down by the girl.
The strange thing is that he was completely unprepared and didn't expect this to happen.
It was not until the world was spinning and the dirty pond water rushed into his ears, nose and throat that he realized that he had been knocked into the pond by that dead girl!
“Hahahahahaha…”
Lu Qian flapped his wings twice and stood up from the pond. He looked up at the girl behind the railing who was laughing so hard that she was bent over. His face looked extremely ugly!
"Song, Ling, Yi!"
Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between teeth, and the desire to strangle the girl to death reached its peak at this moment.
Song Lingyi was not afraid at all.
"What can I do for you, young lady?"
Lu Qian stared at her fiercely, so angry that he couldn't speak for a moment.
Ever since he was old enough to understand, no one in Kyoto had dared to tease him like this! That damned girl not only provoked him again and again, but also pushed him into the water. It was truly a great humiliation!
"Just wait for me, I'm going to skin you alive!"
Wait for him?
Unless she's crazy!
Song Lingyi stretched out her two fists, raised her left index finger and turned it, then slowly raised the middle finger of her right hand.
“…”
Lu Qian didn't understand what this gesture meant, but it didn't prevent him from seeing the contempt and ridicule on the girl's face.
When he got ashore, the girl had disappeared.
The maids in the yard were all frightened when they saw the young master soaked to the skin and with mud on his head.
"What happened to the young master?"
"Did he fall into the pool?"
"Go back to your room and change your clothes, don't get sick..."
The maids were talking to each other, and Lu Qian's face became more and more ugly. He didn't even go to the old lady's yard, but turned around and walked towards Zhilan Garden.
…
At the same time, Song Lingyi trotted back to Zhilan Garden and happened to meet Lu Yu who came to look for her at the gate of the courtyard.
Seeing the girl's cheerful face, Lu Yu asked with a smile, "Cousin, what's so happy about you? Tell me about it."
Song Lingyi's dark eyes turned slightly, and she pretended nothing had happened, saying, "Nothing. I just told a joke to the maid in my grandmother's courtyard, and I just thought it was funny."
It’s better not to tell Lu Yu about the prank you played on Lu Qian.
The two women walked in affectionately, arm in arm.
"What's the joke?"
"Cats meow, dogs woof, ducks quack, and guess what chickens can do?"
"Cluck!"
“…Of course not.”
Lu Yu pouted her red lips and thought for a long time without being able to figure it out, so she pestered Song Lingyi and acted coquettishly for an answer.
"Cousin, tell me quickly..."
"I'm telling you..."
At that time, Lu Qian, in a rage, came to the outside of Zhilan Garden and saw two women laughing and playing in the courtyard. Lu Yu, in particular, was laughing so hard that she was shaking with laughter because she had heard something so funny.
Mistakenly believing that the dead girl had told Lu Yu about him falling into the pond, the young man was so ashamed and angry that his ears burned, and he roared, "Song Lingyi!"
“…”
“…”
Everyone in the courtyard looked towards the door.
Seeing her brother in such a state of disgrace, Lu Yu was surprised and amused: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
The maids didn't dare laugh openly. They buried their heads and trembled slightly from holding back.
After Lu Yu asked this, Lu Qian immediately reacted and said through gritted teeth: "Mind your own business, I have something to say to Song Lingyi, all of you get out."
The young master was usually erratic and difficult to get along with, but he rarely got angry like this. Lu Yu and the maids were all shocked.
"Cousin..." Lu Yu was a little afraid of her angry brother and wanted to ask her cousin what happened.
But when I turned around, my cousin who was standing next to me suddenly disappeared.
There was a loud 'bang' and the door of the main house slammed shut.
A black shadow rushed over like a gust of wind, kicking the door open.
"Get out here, you damn girl!"
The people in the courtyard noticed something was wrong. Hongqiu and Yunyao exchanged glances and immediately went to the accounting office to call the lady.
