Chapter 239 Aqing, Don’t Be Afraid
Lin Zhiqing has always liked to take the initiative into his own hands.
She calmly picked up the flute, put it to her lips, and then slightly opened her lips.
Just before the sound of the flute was about to burst out, the person behind him moved!
The next moment, a hand covered her lips.
Lin Zhiqing suddenly felt something was wrong, and she grabbed the wrist of that hand.
But at the same time, her nose moved and she caught the smell floating in the air.
Smelling the familiar scent of herbs again, her eyes flashed, and she gradually loosened her hands and stopped playing the flute.
The hand covering her face seemed to realize that she didn't know how to play the flute and relaxed a little.
Just after this series of actions was completed, there were several knocks on the top of the box.
The sound of "dong dong dong" was heard.
"Manager Zhou, how about we decide which boxes to take? The auspicious time is almost here!" There seemed to be someone outside, waiting for the manager inside to give orders.
The steward wanted to open the box to take a look, but the outside was pressing him, so he had no choice but to knock on the box one by one to confirm that the box was full, then waved to the people outside:
"That box was brought over from the Marquis of Changning's Mansion. The young lady specifically instructed that it be taken to the son-in-law's place."
"Madam said that it wouldn't look good with just one, so let's take the other two and this one to make a total of four."
Lin Zhiqing heard what the manager said, and also heard him knock on the box where he was hiding again.
There was no doubt that she would now be taken to the prefect of Bianliang as a dowry.
This was something she had not anticipated.
As the chaotic footsteps outside gradually gathered, a shout exploded in Lin Zhiqing's ears:
"rise!"
The box tilted suddenly, and even though Lin Zhiqing was prepared, his body still slid backwards involuntarily due to inertia and fell into a warm embrace.
Fortunately, the cloth was turned over at some point and separated the two of them.
Even so, Lin Zhiqing's body was still a little stiff.
At the same time, someone outside spoke:
"Hey, this box is heavier than usual. Is there anyone in Bianliang so generous as to send such a heavy gift?"
The steward had already walked to the front, and his voice was a little far away:
"You don't need to use your pig brain to think about it. Apart from our Hua Mansion and Guye Mansion, how could there be such a generous person in Bianliang?"
"This was sent from the residence of Mr. Lu in Shengjing."
The servant didn't know what he was thinking about, so he lowered his voice:
"I heard earlier that the Scholars' House was planning to arrange a marriage between our young lady and the young master of the Lu family, but why did this matter fall through?"
"Go, go, go!" The steward turned around and kicked the servant:
"What day is it today? Why are you bringing this up? What do the master's affairs have to do with us servants?"
"Hiss, godfather, be gentler, I'm just lifting it." As the servant dodged, the box shook uncontrollably.
Lin Zhiqing steadied her body, her beautiful eyes moved, she nodded to the hand covering her face, and wrote the word "marriage" on it.
The hand quickly loosened and accurately found Lin Zhiqing's hand, and began to write carefully on her palm, stroke by stroke.
"rumor!"
Lin Zhiqing raised his eyebrows and stopped dwelling on the matter.
That’s right, the person behind her is Lu Huai.
Only Lu Huai has that special medicinal fragrance.
But according to Lu Nanyue, he had already been sent out by the Ministry of Revenue, so how could he appear in Bianliang again?
Thinking of this, Lin Zhiqing wrote a few more words:
"Ministry of Revenue, dispatched to Bianliang."
Lu Huai's hand fell into her palm, and he slowly wrote the word "official business".
Before she could react, Lu Huai's fingers started moving again.
Lin Zhiqing reacted quickly and realized that he had written the word "Jingya".
He must have met Lin Jingya!
Otherwise, I would never have rashly written these two words that have nothing to do with each other.
"Where?" Lin Zhiqing continued writing.
"In the box, dizzy." Lu Huai wrote back three words.
Meaning, in the other boxes, fainted.
Lin Zhiqing breathed a sigh of relief.
In this situation, the unconscious Lin Jingya is more reassuring than the sober Lin Jingya.
At the same time, she ruled out the possibility that Jiang Liuyun had contact with Lin Jingya.
The reason why Lu Huai could describe the situation so clearly was probably because he saw it with his own eyes or made Lin Jingya faint with his own hands.
If no one else intervened, Lin Zhiqing's situation would not be particularly bad.
Perhaps it was because there was someone she could trust by her side, but the tension in her heart relaxed a little.
Then she began to think about how to escape.
Now she and Lu Huai were both trapped in the enclosed space of the box and had to be carried to the residence of the Bianliang prefect.
If someone happened to check and count the dowry and put it into the warehouse, the two of them would be exposed.
Putting aside the fact that they had offended the Hua family and the prefect, the current situation of the two of them was extremely detrimental to their reputation.
Although Lin Zhiqing didn't care about this, the rules and regulations of Dasheng were enough to make her suffer.
Fortunately, she brought some things with her, so she didn't come empty-handed and could still think of a solution.
The flute in Lin Zhiqing's hand is the weapon she is most comfortable using at the moment.
She responded quickly and thought about her escape plan when she arrived at the prefect's house.
The most important thing is that she had no impression of the Bianliang prefect and had never been to the prefect's residence.
If he was not familiar with the terrain, Lin Zhiqing could only plan to use the mind-judging skills to hypnotize the servants or managers and let them explore the way first.
And I also have to consider how to get Lin Jingya out.
This...is not a simple matter.
She has a lot of things to think about now, so she has not interacted with Lu Huai anymore.
Unlike Lin Zhiqing who was in a state of being at ease, at this moment, Lu Huai felt as if ants were crawling on his body, and something was wrong.
In such a small space, it is impossible to even turn over.
God knows how he recognized Lin Zhiqing.
The moment Lin Zhiqing crawled into the box, he had a premonition.
Combined with the fact that Lin Jingya appeared in the Hua Mansion's warehouse, he figured out the reason why Lin Zhiqing appeared in the warehouse after a little thought, but he did not make it public.
However, he still couldn't understand why Lin Zhiqing came to Bianliang and when he came?
Given Lin Zhiqing's personality, it's absolutely impossible for her to make this trip just to attend Hua Jianyun's wedding banquet.
While feeling puzzled, Lu Huai couldn't help but think that it was a good thing that he was the one in the box at that time, otherwise Lin Zhiqing would be in danger.
After he finally put all the doubts out of his mind and adjusted his breathing, he noticed that Lin Zhiqing seemed to be in deep thought.
She is thinking of ways to save herself!
She would never put her life in the hands of others.
Lu Huai knew this very well. Thinking of his own arrangements, he was about to communicate with Lin Zhiqing when he heard a loud "whoa".
Then, the box began to shake inexplicably.
Lin Zhiqing's thoughts were interrupted and he subconsciously grabbed Lu Huai's hand.
In an instant, both of their bodies stiffened at the same time.
Before Lin Zhiqing could react, she felt Lu Huai holding her hand, and a very low voice came to her ears:
"Aqing, don't be afraid."
