Along the way, the little maid walked in fear, for fear that if she said something wrong, it would delay Zheng Mei's plan.

But Lu Zhiyao didn't ask her about Zheng Mei, and rarely spoke to her, but there was always a smile on the corner of his mouth, and anyone who saw it would have a good impression.

The two finally arrived at the Zheng Mansion, and the little maid greeted the guard at the door and led him to the living room.

"Master Lu, you wait here for a while, and I'll call the lady."

Lu Zhiyao nodded, looking like he was very good at talking.

The little maid glanced at him hesitantly, closed the door tightly, and left in a hurry.

I don't know what kind of incense was lit in the living room, and it smelled a little sweet. Lu Zhiyao smiled, not paying much attention to sitting on the stool with his hands on his chin, a little trance.

He couldn't see it, he didn't know what color the so-called blue and black was, and he didn't know what it would look like right now, but looking at the reactions of the people around him, it didn't seem very good-looking.

Lu Zhiyao tapped the table with his fingertips, and sighed helplessly.

Li Ruoshui cares so much about the appearance of the skin, probably...why should he care about this?

"Should the living room be cleaned?"

The whispers of the two maids came from outside the door, pulling Lu Zhiyao's mind back again.

"No, I explained it yesterday, Miss will use it today, let's not go in at will, just wipe the corridor."

"It's strange, the doors and windows are so tightly sealed."

Lu Zhiyao held his chin in a bored way, listening to the two of them chatting.

He knew that there was something wrong with the incense in this room, but it was of no use to him, and he was in a good mood today, and he didn't want to worry about Zheng Mei's tricks.

"I heard that the young lady went out yesterday and came back this morning, but she was very angry. Some people in the mansion said that she and the young master had a bad relationship, and often went out to find a blind man."

The blind man himself raised his eyebrows with interest, and continued to listen as if he were listening to a book.

"Nonsense, will you find the poisonous person for the young master if you are not in a good mood? Didn't you see the appearance of the young lady confronting the old lady for him yesterday?"

"Also, how can you help him do so much if you don't love it?"

Lu Zhi's eyelashes were slightly curved, but the smile on his lips was flattened a little.

"I heard that the madam is looking for a woman for the young master and wants to choose someone who can supervise the school to marry into the mansion."

"It's not long before we got married, and I want to take a concubine? The young master probably won't agree, and I don't want to either. I think the young lady is very good."

"Yes, people are unpretentious, and they are very powerful. The two of them stand together like a talented woman and a pair of beautiful people. They look very good."

Lu Zhiyao didn't say a word, and listened to the two of them talking like he was listening to a book in a teahouse.

The two talked a lot about what Li Ruoshui and Zheng Yanqing did in the mansion, including her taking Zheng Yanqing to the small kitchen to eat quietly, and how Li Ruoshui protected Zheng Yanqing yesterday.

Everything seemed to be something Li Ruoshui could do, but everything seemed unfamiliar to him.

Although Li Ruoshui is not so restrained when facing him now, he is not so natural. Is he too scary?

But didn't he just hope that Li Ruoshui was afraid of him? That's fun isn't it?

Whatever the reason, her attention should be on him.

"Why are you here, didn't you say you don't come to the meeting room to clean up today?!"

Zheng Mei's maid hurried over and was surprised when she saw the two people outside the door, and hurriedly pulled them out.

She glanced at the living room, and then asked in a low voice, "You didn't talk about the young lady just now, did you?"

The two maids hurriedly shook their heads: "No, no, it's about the young master."

She breathed a sigh of relief, for fear that Lu Zhizhi would find something wrong.

After letting the two of them leave, the little girl pretended to be anxious and pushed open the door of the reception hall, and looked at Lu Jiao apologetically.

"Young master, it's really unfortunate, my young lady happened to go to Yanliu Lane to listen to the book, and Xuan Tie was taken away, why don't you follow me to Yanliu Lane to find her?"

Her fingers were tightly together, and her eyes were flustered. This reason was too lame, and most people would be suspicious. How could she be perfunctory...

"Okay." Lu Zhizhi curled his lips and slowly walked out of the living room with a blind stick: "I happen to be going there too."

Li Ruoshui actually didn't have anything to take in Zheng Mansion, she just came back to say goodbye to Zheng Yanqing.

As for whether the rest of the Zheng family knew about her departure, it didn't matter.

"Why is the blind boy going to the parlour? The young lady is obviously in Yanliu Lane today."

Blind boy?

Li Ruoshui stopped walking away, and bent over to listen to their conversation from a distance of a wall.

"I don't know, he seems to have been sitting there for a long time."

The road is far to come to Zheng Mansion?

When asked him this morning, he was rejected, and now he agreed to Zheng Mei's invitation?

Will not have any problems?

Li Ruoshui hesitated for a while, but still walked in the direction of the living room.

The door of the reception hall was tightly closed, and it didn't look like he was meeting guests.

Zheng Mei can't think about what he did to him, right?

Li Ruoshui approached the place lightly, listened for a while, and slowly opened the door.

There was no one inside, but there was always a faint sweetness floating in the air.

Has the fragrance changed here?

Li Ruoshui walked in, only to see a faint smoke floating in the living room, a small stove was placed on the table in the middle, and plumes of blue smoke rose from the stove.

She stepped forward and casually opened the incense burner and glanced at it. There was a dark red incense stick in it. At this time, about three-quarters of the incense had been burned, and a lot of incense ashes had fallen.

Li Ruoyu took a conscious breath under the water, and a sweet smell came to his face, like a fruit wrapped in honey, and the throat felt sticky just by smelling it.

It's too sweet.

She fanned with her hand, frowned, turned to look around, and saw a cup of cold tea in the guest seat.

"Is it possible to leave?"

She sniffed, somewhat disgusted with this sweet and greasy fragrance, and always felt that her whole body was infected with this smell.

"I heard that Miss today invited that son to go to Yanliuxiang to listen to the book?"

A voice came from outside the door, Li Ruoshui quickly hid behind the curtain, and kept thinking in his heart that he could not see me.

The door was pushed open, and two maids came in, took the cup of tea to put out the fragrance, and cleaned up the things on the table.

"I invited him to swim in the lake before, but now I invite him to listen to the book. I'm afraid I won't invite him to become an uncle."

impossible.

Li Ruoshui, who was hiding behind the curtain, shook her head silently. If Zheng Mei could take the road, she would cut off her head and give Zheng Mei a ball to kick.

"Has Mr. Lu gone?"

"Of course I went, just now I'm still waiting for her here."

...

After the two left, Li Ruoshui walked to Yanliu Lane without hesitation.

Could it be that her judgment is wrong, Lu Zhiyao really likes the type of Aojiao?

If she really saw them talking and laughing, would she want to go up? What should she do?

Once a person is attached to something, he will inevitably worry about gains and losses, and even rational people will have such a mentality.

Li Ruoshui knew this truth, but she has now subconsciously ignored it.

My mind is full of embarrassment.

"Master, my lady is waiting for you in the private room on the second floor."

The first floor of the tea house is a place for storytelling, but the second floor is a private room for serious tea drinking. Although it is located in Yanliu Lane, many scholars and writers still come here to taste tea.

Lu Zhiyao went upstairs and listened to the story of the storyteller.

Today's storyteller is a middle-aged man with a thick voice and a rough beard. The love story he tells is the most touching, and Lu Zhiyao loves to hear what he has to say.

"...Besides that goblin, he imprisoned the girl and served him three meals a day, but there are always people who have different paths, and there are always people who object. What else can goblins do?"

Lu Zhizhi raised his eyebrows and whispered the same answer as the storyteller——

"Of course, kill everyone else."

He nodded with satisfaction, feeling that his story today was still interesting and moving.

"Master Lu, it's here, you go first."

He pursed his lips and smiled, and stepped into this place with a blind cane, ignoring the footsteps that the maid hurriedly left.

"Miss Zheng, has Xuantie brought it?"

There was someone in the private room, and the moment he entered, there was a crisp cracking sound, the teacup fell to the ground, and the brown tea splashed on the corner of his robe.

"you……"

Hearing this man's panicked voice, Lu Zhiyao smiled slightly and sat on the chair with a blind stick, not surprised.

"It doesn't seem to be Miss Zheng."

This person is indeed not Zheng Mei, but she also recognizes Lu Yuan.

If Lu Chi could see it, he would find that this man had met him in prison the day before.

She was the one who sent the news to Qin Fang, and she had seen the scene where Lu Zhiyao digs out Qin Fang's eyeballs with her own eyes.

This woman's flower name is Xu Jiaoniang, and she is a sister of Chunfenglou in Yanliuxiang.

Before helping Qin Fang send news, it was entirely because he had been a customer for many years. Later, the government searched around for the person who killed Qin Fang, and even asked her about it, but she did not dare to say it.

After that day, she often wakes up from nightmares, and when she wakes up, she always touches her eyes subconsciously. She has been rolling in the dust for so many years, and she has never seen such a scene.

Murder should be hideous, how could he be as gentle and cruel as him, which made her dare not meet gentle guests for a long time.

She just took a small job to seduce people today, who would have thought it was this person!

She's been really bad lately!

Lu Zhiyao evoked a smile at her and asked softly, "May I ask who is the girl?"

Heck!

Xu Jiaoniang frowned and took a step back. She looked at his smile with a strange feeling of spring breeze blowing across her face.

She swallowed and stopped her trembling body: "Young Master, Miss Zheng is out. I'll call her for you."

Without giving him a chance to express his opinion, Xu Jiao Niang put on her robe, bypassed him, went out, and ran to the opposite inn.

She wants to live two more years.

Lu Zhiyao chuckled and approached the window to listen to the story of the storyteller downstairs.

I am so afraid of him, probably because have seen him kill people before, but it doesn't matter, he will definitely get Xuan Tie today.

"...The cold-hearted goblin wouldn't know that he was not caught in an illusion, but that dumplings were placed on a plate, sour and jealous."

The lobby burst into laughter, laughing at this incomprehensible goblin.

Only Lu Zhiyao frowned, puzzled.

He had often heard this word before, and everyone around him laughed tacitly, but it was out of place for him alone to keep a smile.

Find a chance to ask Li Ruoshui, she should know.

"Even if she's jealous, this goblin keeps thinking about her. Why hasn't she come to coax herself? Does she like other people more? Should she eat other people? The goblin who just entered the world is very distressed."

Although the storyteller is rough in appearance, he speaks with delicate emotions, and he frowns when he speaks, as if he also experienced this distress.

As expected of the person he often came to support, he was able to bring him here.

Lu Zhiyao knocked on the window again and again, and soon became immersed in the story and listened fascinatedly.
