Chapter 108: Fright in the Rainy Night(1/2)
The fragrance of soul-free fragrance is colorless and tasteless, which arouses beautiful things that arouse people's lives and worsens, and no traces are found afterwards.
Bai Lianhua didn't want to let Ang Lee go, and wanted to punish him to avenge his frivolous revenge that day. This Lihun Xiang is undoubtedly the choice.
In July, the sky is clear and there is no cloud in the sky. When it is hottest, the occasional breeze cannot drive away the summer heat.
Bai Lianhua was attracted by the emperor and promoted to the fifth rank of the minister and was appointed as the official. He often followed the emperor to assist the emperor in handling government affairs, supervised the six ministries, and arrested officials, and had certain real power.
It can be said that after the edict was issued, Bai Lianhua instantly became one of the most promising young people in the capital. There were endless people visiting or proposing marriages every day. The Bai Mansion was really lively during this period.
The Wu Shisui Bachelor's Mansion in Hanlin Academy.
In the study, a young girl was acting coquettishly opposite the middle-aged man sitting behind the desk, "Dad, if your daughter wants to marry Lord Bai, you must help me!"
The woman standing next to her also said, "Master, I have said before that Lord Bai is a capable person, but Master, you have to say, look again, look again..."
"I only have Yu'er, one daughter. Of course, I have to consider her marriage again and again. How can I marry her daughter in a confused manner?" Wu Xueshi touched his beard and sighed. "Now Bai Lianhua has been named the fifth-rank official and is still a full-time official. From the emperor's attitude in the past few days, it can be seen that the emperor attaches great importance to him. I guess he still looks down on us now."
When Wu Lianyu heard this, he became anxious and grabbed Wu Xueshu's sleeve and swayed around, "I don't care, I'll marry Lord Bai! Otherwise, otherwise, I won't marry in this life!"
"Yu'er, what stupid things are you saying? How can a girl not marry?" Mrs. Wu hurried over to comfort her. Seeing the girl's face was stubborn and her eyes turned red, she felt distressed and couldn't help but look at Wu Shilu next to her, "Master, you say something!"
Seeing the mother and daughter crying together, Mr. Wu had to compromise, "Okay, I'll come to the matchmaker to try it out the next day."
"Master, I heard that Mr. Liu, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, sent a matchmaker to Bai Mansion two days ago. Lord Liu is a second-rank official in the court. He is not comparable to us. We have a slim hope. Otherwise, when you go to Mr. Bai for the morning court tomorrow?"
"...Well, I'll try it. I can't guarantee whether it will succeed." Under the tears of the mother and daughter, Mr. Wu could only choose to give up his old face.
Morning down.
Bai Lianhua and several officials walked out and walked out for a while, separated from everyone.
When Master Wu saw that Bai Lianhua was finally alone, he hurried over, "Wait, Lord Bai!"
"Mr. Wu?"
Wu Xueshu had a kind smile on his face. He pulled Bai Lianhua aside and whispered, "Mr. Bai, have you ever been married?"
When Bai Lianhua saw this posture, he roughly guessed Wu Shidu’s purpose. To be honest, he was a little annoyed. Just as he was thinking about how to deal with it, he heard a voice coming from behind.
"Mr. Wu, what are you talking about, Lord Bai,? Can you participate in this?" A gentle and handsome man came over, smiling on his lips, looking at the two of them with curiosity.
"Your Highness the Second Prince!" The two saluted Ang Lee.
Mr. Wu was not very face-to-face and looked embarrassed when he saw Ang Lee. I don’t know how much he heard what he said just now.
"Mr. Wu, I'm 14 years old this year? I've been lucky enough to meet him once, and he looks so beautiful! I wonder if he's ever married?"
At this time, Mr. Wu was already sweating profusely. He had heard that the second prince, Ang Lee, was not jealous of men and women, and his private life was very chaotic. Now when he heard him mention his daughter's marriage, Mr. Wu suddenly had an ominous premonition.
"I am pleased by my daughter and wanted to be gentle, virtuous, dignified and decent. I want to take him as a concubine, but I don't know what Mr. Wu means?"
It is "acceptance" rather than "marry", how could Mr. Wu be willing to let his precious daughter be his concubine? And it is the second prince who is not well-received, let alone a concubine, even if he is the official concubine, he doesn't care!
"Thank you for your love, but the little woman is reckless and impatient. The official is afraid that she will hit Your Highness..." Wu Xueshi didn't care whether it would damage her daughter's reputation, so he escaped the disaster in front of him first.
"That's it, then forget it. Your Highness prefers gentle women." Ang Lee was very regretful.
When Wu Xueshi heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. In order to avoid Ang Lee's repentance, he quickly found an excuse to leave, "Your Highness, Lord Bai, I have something to do. Let's go first, and I'll talk about it another day!"
Without waiting for the two of them to answer, he ran away in a flash, and was incredibly fast, as if a ghost was chasing him.
"Lian Hua, I've helped you solve the problem. How do you say thank you?"
Since having had a nightmare for several days, Ang Lee has avoided beauty like a snake or a scorpion. But somehow, he still missed Bai Lianhua. Maybe he hadn't eaten it yet, so he was unwilling to give up!
"Just!" Ang Lee saw Bai Lianhua's eyebrows frowning, as if he was distressed. He smiled, "I know Lianhua is worried about some trivial matters recently. Don't worry, your highness will help you solve them."
Sure enough, Ang Lee did what he said, and the number of people coming to Bai's house to propose marriage was significantly reduced. The servants of Bai's house were relieved and finally had to rest for a while without having to stay busy with guests all day.
However, in the capital, rumors about Ang Lee and Bai Lianhua are increasing day by day.
Bai Lianhua didn't care and had no intention of clarifying it at all. For him, this was better. At least the second prince's "fame" was not annoyed by so many people.
Since Bai Lianhua became a senior officer, Liu Qiao hasn't seen his shadow for a long time. She is happy and sleeps when she should eat what she should sleep.
But after a long time, Liu Qiao couldn't stand it anymore. The main reason was that she stayed in the Bai Mansion all day and did nothing, and she became the most idle person in the Bai Mansion. She still got her monthly salary, which made her feel embarrassed.
Liu Qiao would not admit that she was bored and had such thoughts.
On that day, Liu Qiao was still lying on the bed reading. After reading for a while, she closed the book and lay on the bed. Why is it so boring to be like this day!
She either reads books or sleeps. Is this the only way she can live in her life?
At this time, Liu Qiao had forgotten who wanted to be a rice insect. Now that it has come true, she feels that life is boring.
So, humans are such a contradictory creature.
I don’t know if it’s because she stayed in bed all day, but recently Liu Qiao felt sore all over, unable to lift her energy, and was lazy.
After getting out of bed, Liu Qiao opened the window, and she stretched, and finally she was not so bored.
The wind was very strong outside, very cool, not as hot as before. She looked up at the sky, and it was obviously dark, and it turned out that it was going to rain.
Sure enough, in the evening, it started to rain heavily outside.
Whenever it rains, I listen to the sound of rain outside, lying on the bed covered with a quilt and hiding in the warm quilt, which is simply too comfortable.
Liu Qiao expected to have a good night's sleep tonight.
After dinner, Liu Qiao looked at the rain from the window, but it was still a trend of not stopping. She was about to close the window, but suddenly, she climbed up with a hand and almost scared her.
Are you sure this isn't a ghost movie?
Liu Qiao came to her senses and her first reaction was to close the window quickly, but the hand was blocking it there, and no matter how hard she could, her little heart was frightened and thumped.
Did God hear her voice and know that she was bored recently, so he found such an exciting thing for her?
"Save me..." It was at this moment that a faint male voice rang out of the window.
Liu Qiao was even more afraid of what! The ghost movies I had watched before were constantly replayed in her mind.
It's still dark now, and it's raining outside. I don't know if it's a human or a ghost outside the window, but I feel terrified no matter how I look at it.
"Save me..." But the voice sounded again, and Liu Qiao felt that this was undoubtedly a death-guiding talisman.
No! Liu Qiao rushed to the bed, covered her head with a quilt, and curled herself into a ball.
After half an hour passed, there was no sound outside. She felt that she would suffocate if she continued like this. So Liu Qiao had to take off a corner of the quilt with the courage to lift up a corner of the quilt and carefully poke out her head to breathe fresh air.
Now her mood has slowly calmed down. Although she is still afraid, she has a little more curiosity. Is it a human or a ghost outside?
It was because of this curiosity that Liu Qiao decided to go outside to see what was going on.
When she opened the door, it was raining heavily outside, and it was pitch dark, and she became cowardly again.
Battle!
Liu Qiaoxun found an umbrella and walked out with it. The closer to the window, the faster her heart beat, and her blood was flowing rapidly, and her palms were sweating.
From afar, Liu Qiao saw a person lying under the window. She walked over slowly, not knowing whether the person was dead or alive, and she was extremely nervous.
Finally approached, and saw clearly the person lying on the ground at this moment. He was wearing black clothes and a ghost mask on his face, lying there motionless.
A sense of familiarity came. Isn’t this the person who is suspected to be Wen Renheng? How could he be lying here for no reason?
Knowing that he was the one I knew, Liu Qiao finally felt relieved when he was tense, and he felt relieved secretly.
Squatting in front of the man, she poked his body, but she didn't respond, and pushed him again, but she still didn't respond.
Hehe, Liu Qiao's eyes turned. Since that's the case, she lifted the mask and took a look. He probably wouldn't know, right?
I was really curious whether this person was Wen Renheng. Liu Qiao slowly stretched out one hand to lift the mask that was in trouble and see the man's true face clearly.
I don’t know if it’s too excited or too nervous, or both, but the closer I get to the mask, the more trembling Liu Qiao’s hands will be.
Finally, the mask was about to be lifted! But just as she was about to touch a corner of the mask, her hand was grabbed. If she could struggle, her hand would froze in the air and unable to move.
Liu Qiao thought the man had woken up, but when she turned around, she saw that the man was still unconscious and showed no sign of waking up. However, his hand was still holding her tightly, with surprising strength, probably this was his instinctive reaction.
"Okay, hero, I'll be fine if I don't look at it!"
No response.
"I promise, if I want to lift your mask again, I will become a puppy in my next life." Anyway, it's all for the next life.
The man probably heard Liu Qiao's "poisonous oath" and his strength to grab her was gradually decreasing. Finally, he let go of her. Liu Qiao's wrists were finally able to move freely.
I glanced at my wrist and it was covered with bruises.
Liu Qiao felt that she was still very kind-hearted and didn't even think about not saving her when she saw death.
After calling the servant and helped the man into the house together, she was already half wet. It was extremely uncomfortable to stick wet clothes to her body, and it would be bad if she caught a cold.
You know, she is most annoying to catch a cold. Every time she catches a cold, she will have a headache, eyes, and runny nose, and she will feel so uncomfortable.
Although with her current physique, it is difficult to get sick, but if you are not afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of something, right?
I won't care about the rest in advance, and I'll talk about everything after she finishes taking a shower.
He asked someone to send a bucket of water, and Liu Qiaoshu took a comfortable bath, so she had time to pay attention to the man who was still lying on the ground at this moment.
I touched the man's forehead, it was so hot, it seemed to be burning. What I had to do now is to change the wet clothes on him.
Liu Qiao is a woman, so of course she couldn't change his clothes, so she asked the servants outside to help. Anyway, she didn't intend to hide it from her saving the man.
To be continued...
