Chapter 87: Strange Things Happened in Youran Residence
Xinyi understood immediately. No wonder he couldn't find her anywhere. It turned out that the Qiao family had married their daughter into the royal family!
But what is Lingxiang's intention in doing this? Isn't she afraid that he will tell Bai Wuchang about this?
Lingxiang seemed to know what Xinyi was thinking, and said without turning her head:
"The reason I brought you here is, firstly, so you can talk to Bai Wuchang, and secondly, I want to confirm some things."
Then he turned to look at Xinyi:
"To be honest, it's fine with you. Although you and the demons are sworn enemies, I don't completely trust you yet. I'm just letting you know some things for now because of Mai Dong. I'm not afraid that you'll turn against me. After all, you're dispensable to me."
"Moreover, if you feel that what you have done is worthy of the reputation of the Fuyao Lu family, then naturally I don't care." Lingxiang said, turned around and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion.
Xinyi smiled: This little girl looks heartless, but unexpectedly she is quite scheming.
Thinking of this, he just shook his head and followed.
Although it was not yet nightfall, lanterns had been hung early in front of the City Lord's Mansion. The pale red moon on the lanterns looked lifelike, as if telling people about the love between the City Lord and Mrs. Qiao.
Lingxiang acted as if she was familiar with the place. She stepped forward and was about to knock on the door, but she didn't expect the two guards at the gate to stop her by piercing her with their spears.
Xinyi couldn't help but chuckle when she saw this. How could one visit someone like this, especially one from a royal family, and on a festival day?
Lingxiang was a little surprised. It was not her first time here, and she was just going to knock on the door. Could it be that these two guards were new?
With this in mind, she said directly to the two of them, "I am the owner of Youranju, and I have come here today to pay my respects to the City Lord's wife."
The two guards exchanged a glance, and one of them shouted, "You Ran Ju has already closed down. How can there be a shopkeeper? Little girl, don't lie in front of the royal family!"
The situation here seems familiar.
Lingxiang narrowed her eyes and stared at the two men for a long time, but the two men were originally soldiers and generals, and had fought on the battlefield, so they were not afraid of the tiny Lingxiang in front of them.
Lingxiang was helpless, but suddenly remembered a domineering face. She immediately laughed and said to the two of them, "Then please let the guard know that someone wants to see Butler Zhao, and ask if anyone else in the mansion has seen Huang Daxianer?"
The two guards were shocked when they heard this. How could this little girl know what happened in the mansion before? Their eyes met, and one of them snorted and said, "Wait here for a moment. Take me to ask the butler for instructions."
This "humph" made Lingxiang laugh and cry. How come City Lord Zhao and Madam Qiao were such approachable masters, but the servants were so arrogant? It really proved the saying that it is easier to see the King of Hell than to deal with little devils.
When Butler Zhao heard the guard's report, he scolded the guard for being brainless. Youran Ju had been closed for a long time, and he had been ordered to deliver gifts. He had seen the note posted on the door with his own eyes. How could a manager of Youran Ju suddenly appear?
Besides, it wouldn't be surprising if outsiders knew about what happened to Huang Daxian in the City Lord's Mansion. Who knows if it was those gossipy women who spread the news and made it worthwhile for the locals to report it to him?
Just as he came out cursing, he saw a little girl squatting beside the stone lion at the door, teasing something. Behind her stood a man in green clothes, who looked very handsome.
"Hiss~"
Zhao Daguan suddenly took a breath of cold air - why did this situation seem so familiar?
When Lingxiang heard the noise and turned around to look, Butler Zhao was so frightened that he almost jumped up.
this……
this!
This is really the little ancestor from that day!
Butler Zhao hurried forward to support Lingxiang, and his appearance was extremely funny. But before he got close, Lingxiang suddenly stood up and smiled at him.
"Butler Zhao, how are you?"
…
Until now, Long Qi still couldn't understand why Lingxiang sent him to Yuanqing Sect and ruined Youran Residence like this. Not to mention how precious the elixirs that had been trampled into mud were, even the broken bottles and jars were porcelain of extremely fine quality.
This little girl is really a spendthrift. You have to keep an eye on her. Just like the day when she was refining the elixir in Xianyunju, she ended up hurting herself and suffering a lot.
In this case, this girl still needs him.
The more Long Qi thought about it, the more he felt that Lingxiang couldn't live without him. He was tidying up the broken tables and chairs when he suddenly remembered that Lingxiang and Xinyi had gone out for some unknown reason. It had been such a long time, and why hadn't they come back yet?
While he was lost in thought, he heard a loud "boom" behind him, which scared Long Qi so much that he almost jumped up. He turned around and saw that the broken wood that Rendong was holding had fallen to the ground.
"You're so clumsy! You gave me a fright!" Long Qi complained.
"Do you feel that something is wrong in this room?"
Something wrong?
"What's wrong?" Long Qi looked puzzled.
"While I was cleaning the house, I heard some rustling noises. I don't know where they came from," he said, pointing to the courtyard. "Just now, I seemed to see a pair of eyes staring at me from over there."
"He's so suspicious. The door had just been torn down when he came in. Even if there was someone there, how did he get in? Isn't he a human?"
Long Qi immediately became alert after he finished speaking. Since following Lingxiang, he had seen things that were not human. Could it be that...
He looked at Honeysuckle, who immediately understood. The two of them picked up their swords and carefully approached the courtyard.
…
When City Lord Zhao and his wife heard from the servants that Lingxiang was coming to visit, they waited in the hall early. When Butler Zhao brought Lingxiang and the other two into the hall, the City Lord's wife immediately stood up to greet them, shook Lingxiang's hand and said that it had been a long time since they last saw each other.
Lingxiang frowned imperceptibly, but chatted with the city lord's wife.
Seeing the two of them like this, City Lord Zhao teased, "Miss Lingxiang is a guest here, how can you let people stand and talk? Has Madam been so happy that she's lost her mind?"
Upon hearing this, the city lord's wife slapped her forehead and laughed, "Look at me, I was so busy having fun that I forgot how to entertain guests. If outsiders knew about this, they would probably laugh at me again." Then she pulled Lingxiang into the house and ordered the maid to serve tea.
"The city lord must be jealous of our good relationship, so he's making fun of us like that." Lingxiang joked and introduced Xinyi to the city lord and his wife.
"Speaking of which, I came to visit you this time because I have a request for you, Madam. But as a girl, I feel a little embarrassed to express my feelings in front of the City Lord. Lord, please... " Lingxiang said, looking at City Lord Zhao.
"Only a little girl like you would want to drive the host away when you are a guest at someone's house. Never mind. I still have some business to deal with. You two can chat slowly." City Lord Zhao smiled and stood up and left.
Lingxiang waited until City Lord Zhao was far away before she put away her smile. She stood up, looked at the City Lord's wife, and asked:
“Who the hell are you!?”
