Step by step lotus flower

Chapter 241 Pustules (3)
Lu Mingxuan didn't have the mood to put her eyes on it, so she just said no, after washing and dressing up, she didn't even bother to eat breakfast, so she ordered Danqing to go.

Seeing that she seems to be relying more on Danqing than before, Ban Xiang and Ban Qin couldn't help feeling sour, but they also knew that being sour was useless, so they could only bow their knees and retreat, calling Danqing to go.

When Danqing came, seeing Lu Mingxuan listless, he bowed his knees and saluted and said softly: "Miss, did you not sleep well last night? In fact, if you want a servant to tell you, you don't have to think so much. The old ladies are here, it's not your turn to worry about this matter, and you can't worry about it, so why bother yourself?"

Lu Mingxuan couldn't tell her the reason why she couldn't sleep, so she just said: "In the past two days, there are too many people who can't sleep in the mansion, and they stopped me? Okay, let's not talk about this, you go later Pass a message to Mr. Ling, saying that I have something urgent to ask him, and ask him to meet him at the Guanlan Pavilion in the garden in an hour."

The girl asked her to meet Mr. Ling?Danqing only thought that his ears had misheard. Didn't the girl say earlier that she would draw a line with Mr. Ling? She hasn't seen Mr. Ling alone for almost half a year. Why did she suddenly change her attitude today... After hesitating, I didn't move my feet for a long time.

Lu Mingxuan took a full look of the surprise and doubt on her face, and could only say: "You heard me right, I did ask you to make an appointment with Mr. Ling, I have something urgent to tell her, go quickly!"

"Oh oh oh, I'll go right away." Only then did Danqing come to his senses, and hurriedly bowed his knees and retreated.

The rest of Lu Mingxuan was stunned again, and vaguely heard Lu Mingfu's voice from the other side of the hall, so she restrained herself, got up and went to the hall to have breakfast with Lu Mingfu.

Lu Mingfu also looked like he hadn't slept well. After Lu Mingxuan sat down, he lowered his voice and said to her, "I don't know when this matter will end? Great, everyone else should be sick, if only they could go home."

Lu Mingxuan also lowered her voice and said: "I think it will be over soon, and I miss going home too, but the old lady and fifth master are not well yet, so how can we say that we want to go home now? Didn’t people say that no matter how much the old lady loves us, it’s in vain?”

Lu Mingfu sighed: "I hope it will be as you said, and it will be over soon." As she spoke, she glanced at the breakfast on the table, "Otherwise the two of us are fine, I'm afraid the other masters in the mansion will not be able to bear it." gone."

Compared with the exquisite and hearty breakfast in the past, the few things on the table today are indeed a bit shabby, but there are only four dim sums, including scallion pancakes, stewed eggs with red dates, small steamed buns stuffed with mushrooms and pork, and pan-fried steamed buns with butter. Then there is one bowl of porridge for each person. This time when Lu Wen was expelled, the people in the big kitchen were implicated the most, and almost everyone was tied up. Now the people in the big kitchen are all urgently transferred from other businesses. It is good that every meal can be served on time. As for the variety, color, fragrance and so on, don't hold any hope for the time being.

After finishing these few words, the two sisters adhered to the rule of "don't talk when you eat, don't talk when you sleep", they didn't say anything, and just ate breakfast in silence.

After dinner, the two sisters went to Mrs. Lu's house as usual, but Lu Mingxuan found an excuse to let Lu Mingfu go first, saying that she would go there later, and let her speak for her in front of Mrs. Lu. With a sound, he took Danqing and took a shortcut to Guanlan Pavilion.

The Guanlan Pavilion is located in the northwest corner of Dingguo Gongfu Garden. The terrain is quite high. Standing on it, you can have a panoramic view of the entire garden. The reason why Lu Mingxuan chose this place to meet Ling Mengqi was because of its terrain. Talking inside can be seen by others from a distance, and it can be regarded as upright, and it will not be suspected of being under the melon field. Similarly, when others approach from a distance, they can clearly understand it at a glance, so there is no need to be afraid of being overheard. It couldn't be a more suitable place.

As soon as Ling Mengqi received Danqing's message, he packed up and came to the Duke's Mansion from the Princess' Mansion, and was waiting in the pavilion early. When he saw Lu Mingxuan's master and servant coming from a distance, he rushed to greet him with big strides, clasped his fists and said with a smile: " Sister Xuan is here, I don’t know why Sister Xuan is looking for me, I will go through fire and water, and I will not hesitate..." Before I finished speaking, I frowned beautifully, "Why does my sister look not in a good mood? Are you feeling unwell?"

Lu Mingxuan bowed her knees and returned the gift to him before saying: "I'm fine, but some of you didn't sleep well last night. Thank you Brother Ling for your concern. By the way, Brother Ling, how is Fifth Brother doing now? But he's better again?"

Ling Mengqi nodded and said: "He already has a good foundation, he has good medicine and medicine, and he has a room full of people to take care of him. He can go to the field today, so my sister doesn't have to worry."

Lu Mingxuan said: "Then I'm relieved. By the way, Brother Ling asked Huzi to send me a message yesterday, saying that the old Duke will fall to the ground after deciding this matter. In the future, it will be a secret investigation. I don't know who the suspects are." But have they all been sent away?"

Ling Mengqi said "Yes": "The ones who were sent away overnight last night were not only those people, but a dozen of them who were more suspected were sent away together with their families. My people will be sent away tonight. In the past, good news should come soon.”

The hundreds of people in the Duke's Mansion, no matter whether they were born at home or bought from outside, are all slaves after all. Their wealth and lives are in the hands of their masters. If they really knew something, how dare they not say it?Even if it is not for loyalty, but for self-protection, he will tell what he knows, but the inner and outer courts have not tried anything in the past few days. It can be seen that the matter has nothing to do with them in all likelihood. Could it be that his people are planning to torture them into a trick? ...Lu Mingxuan pursed her lips, and temporarily forgot to think about these messes, and simply cut to the chase and said to Ling Mengqi: "To be honest, Brother Ling, I invited you here today. I do have a very urgent matter, please help , I don’t have the ability to ask others to help with such a matter, and I don’t feel at ease asking others for help, so I have to trouble Brother Ling.”

This made Ling Mengqi feel joyful, he was worried about asking others for help, and only wanted to ask him for help. Doesn't it mean that he is not 'others' in Sister Xuan's heart, but 'one of us'?Yin hurriedly said with a smile: "Sister Xuan, please tell me, I will definitely take care of it for my sister."

Hearing this, Lu Mingxuan made Danqing retreat far away, hesitated for a moment, and then asked Ling Mengqi seriously: "Brother Ling is not curious why I care so much about Fifth Brother's affairs, nor is he curious that Fifth Brother was surprised by me last year?" Where and how did I know about it? Did Brother Ling never think about asking me why?"

It would be a lie to say that Ling Mengqi is not curious about these things, but because he unconditionally trusts Lu Mingxuan, and unconditionally feels that she has her own reasons for everything she does, so he really never thought about asking her why, But now that she has brought it up, he is willing to listen, because he nodded and said: "Of course I am curious, but I think you have your own reasons for not telling me, are you really willing to tell me now? , if you still don’t want to, I won’t force it.”
