Lu Qingtang stood up and wanted to go back to the house to sleep, but Li Daqing stepped forward and took her hand.
She didn't want to wake anyone else up, otherwise Zeng Ke and Ji Wen would make a big deal out of the fight.
Moreover, a little person like Li Daqing is no match for her, and there is no need for the two of them to come forward.
Lu Qingtang did not struggle and allowed Li Daqing to drag him into the house and close the door.
She was thrown onto the chair by him, almost breaking her butt into eight pieces.
While covering her butt, she looked at Li Daqing impatiently, "You must be sick, you almost threw me to death, why did I offend you!"
Li Daqing glared at her and said angrily: "What did you tell me yesterday? You said you didn't want to be a personal maid, and then you turned around and went to curry favor with the fourth lady. Now that you're on a high branch, you start shouting at me? "
Lu Qingtang was stunned for a moment.
She looked Li Daqing up and down, and then smiled.
She finally understood what Aunt Wang said was wrong with Li Daqing.
This guy has no ability himself, and he doesn't want others to rise to the top. He's afraid that he won't be able to compare to women, and may even be prone to domestic violence.
How disgusting!
However, it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain. People like Li Daqing are like dogs. Once you offend him, he may bite you one day.
To deal with such people, we need methods.
Lu Qingtang pretended to be disdainful.
She rolled her eyes at Li Daqing and said, "What did I think it was? It turned out to be something that happened in the afternoon. Look at your look, it scared me."
She deliberately lowered her voice and said, "Why are you so rude? If I had known you would behave like this, I wouldn't be with you."
Li Daqing snorted coldly, "What do you mean, are you regretting it now? You used me to enter Yaowang Valley and climb up a high branch, and now you plan to dump me? Let me tell you, there is no way!"
He stared with a ferocious face that made people feel sick.
Lu Qingtang endured the nausea in his heart and smiled at him, "Look what you said, what do you mean I'm climbing a high branch? What high branch am I climbing on? When did I say I was going to dump you? Did you hear someone say that? lies?"
"Don't listen to other people's nonsense. They are jealous of you. You are so talented and have excellent medical skills. Many girls are surrounding you. I am afraid that you will be seduced by other women..."
She said, paused, and then suddenly realized, "I know, it must be that you don't want me anymore, so you are pouring dirty water on me to get rid of me, right?"
After saying that, she covered her face and began to cry softly.
In order to avoid waking up Zeng Ke and Ji Wenzhan next door, she cried very repressedly, but she sounded very sad, as if she was really wronged.
Li Daqing on the side was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that it was him who came to question her, but she felt as if she had been greatly wronged.
But he just wanted to scare her and let her be a peaceful aunt who washes and cooks. This is also for her own good.
How could she, a country girl, be willing to follow him and just be a cook with children after seeing the world? It would be hard for him to control her. When the time comes to beat her, she will run away with a bottle of oil, so how can I find another woman?
Listening to her soft cries, Li Daqing's heart softened.
It seemed that he was overthinking it. This woman was full of men and was easier to control than he thought.
This woman still cares about herself and is afraid that other women will take her away.
He walked forward with a smile, reached out and patted Lu Qingtang's shoulder, coaxing her and saying: "Okay, I'm sorry, it's my fault, it's my fault, I shouldn't question you. But this will make anyone angry, you Obviously promised..."
"Yes, I promised you not to be a maid and to stay at home to support your husband and raise your children, but you have no idea what happened this afternoon?"
Lu Qingtang cried and interrupted Li Daqing.
She sobbed and said, "You don't know how unruly that fourth lady is. She just asked me to be my friend without even asking if I wanted to. I didn't have time to refuse, and I couldn't refuse. She is the King of Medicine. The eldest lady of Gu, I am just a country girl with no money and no power, so I can only let others bully me. I thought I found a man I could rely on, but I didn’t expect you to not believe me, I...I..."
As she spoke, she cried even harder, stood up and stamped her feet, "I can't live anymore, I'm going to die!"
Li Daqing was frightened when he heard that she wanted to live or die.
He quickly stopped in front of Lu Qingtang and begged: "Xiaohua, please stop making trouble, please don't be angry. I will never doubt you again. It was my fault, and I apologize to you."
He really regrets now, regrets his words and deeds just now.
In a moment of anger, he actually forgot about the unruly and willful Fourth Miss Shui Xingyue.
She has always been self-centered and will lose her temper if she doesn't go her way at all.
I remember that once before, he just put the wrong medicine, and she chased and scolded him for several days, making him unable to lift his head.
Such a woman relies on her family background. She has never met him. If it were him, he would definitely beat her into obedience. Let’s see if he still dares.
A country girl is timid and has just arrived in this unfamiliar place. Facing such a young lady, it is normal to be afraid.
Thinking of this, he regretted even more, and swore to Lu Qingtang that he would believe her in his life. After another round of good words, Lu Qingtang stopped crying.
Seeing Lu Qingtang's delicate look with tearful eyes, Li Daqing couldn't help but become lustful and wanted to kiss her. When Lu Qingtang refused, he began to stalk her. At this moment, he heard the sound of the door opening coming from next door.
In an instant, he was frightened, and then left Lu Qingtang's room dejectedly.
After he left, Zeng Ke and Ji Wenzhan came in.
As soon as they came in, they asked Lu Qingtang if he was okay, looking concerned.
Lu Qingtang stuck out his tongue at them, and then poured them each a cup of tea.
Zeng Ke was the first to speak, pointing his thumb behind his back, "Sooner or later, this thing has to be cut off from him. It's so disgusting that I can't even listen to it. Doesn't this treat women as private property? Who does he think he is?"
Ji Wenzhan snorted coldly, "What the hell? If he wasn't restricted by his status now, I would definitely beat him until his parents couldn't help but come out."
Zeng Ke couldn't help but look at him, "Ah, Big Persimmon, how come you have learned to use force to solve problems? Aren't you always polite and like to reason with others?"
Ji Wenzhan rolled his eyes at him, "Don't call me persimmon. I hate eating persimmons the most."
He said sternly: "What good means should be used to deal with such a person? Is he worthy? A rat in the gutter. If I step on him to death, I will feel dirty, so as not to take advantage of bad luck."
Zeng Ke nodded, and then said to Lu Qingtang: "Master Tang, Persimmon is right. Once you provoke such a person, nothing good will happen in the future. You should find a way to get rid of him."
Ji Wenzhan said "hmm" and then said: "Yes, and you can't provoke such a person, and you have to do it in a measured way. You must not let him bite you."
Lu Qingtang smiled and said, "I will remember what you said, and I will think of a perfect solution to get rid of this dog-skin plaster."
Without mentioning their names, Lu Qingtang knew what they meant.
She had also seen just now that Li Daqing was not a good person, so she adopted a roundabout strategy to make him lower his guard first.
However, his matter is not important for the time being. The most important thing now is to get close to Mercury to find out who can cure the secret poison.
This way the mother's identity can be locked in and clues can be found faster.
So, they discussed how to approach Mercury Moon without being noticed.
Zeng Ke was very disdainful, "She is a silly girl who is careless. You all think too much. Just be straightforward with her."
Ji Wenzhan disagreed, "I don't agree. This girl only looks stupid and has a bad temper on the surface. In fact, she is very clever in her heart. Her mind is full of calculations. Don't underestimate her."
Lu Qingtang nodded, "Brother is right, we can't underestimate her. On the surface, she looks like a big sister, and she looks fearless. In fact, she has her own little thoughts, and she does everything well. There is a reason."
She said and looked at Ji Wenzhan, "Just like when she reaches out to hit you..."
Ji Wenzhan glared at Lu Qingtang with an expression that said, "I don't want to pick up the pot."
Lu Qingtang then changed his words: "I don't mean to expose your scars, I'm just making an analogy. On the surface, it seems that she is hitting people and being unreasonable, but in fact, she is looking at your face and her third uncle, who is If she looks like Shui Tusi Shui Xingyao, then you will be used as a punching bag. But as soon as she saw Shui Xingyao, she immediately changed her face. She would not fight back, would not retaliate when scolded, and acted like a good girl. In fact, she really felt like a good girl in her heart. Is she very well-behaved? When she turns around, she has a different face. This person is not simple."
She still remembered that Mercury fell to the ground and accidentally bit her tongue, and the way she looked at her when she was healing her wounds.
That kind of look is definitely not something a simple little girl can achieve.
Ji Wenzhan and Zeng Ke nodded and agreed with Lu Qingtang's words.
After chatting for a while, they all left and went back to sleep.
Lu Qingtang tidied up and went to bed to rest. He was thinking about how to go to Yuehui Pavilion to find Shui Xingyue without appearing so deliberate.
…
After breakfast the next morning, Zeng Ke and Ji Wenzhan went to the garden to help weed, while Lu Qingtang stayed in Jinhui Hall to wash clothes.
She was not good at washing clothes, and it took her several days to learn how to wash them cleanly. This was the result of washing many pieces of clothes.
She doesn't know how to sew damaged clothes, but fortunately with the help of Xiaofeng and the others, Lu Qingtang now also knows how to mend clothes.
When I was washing vigorously, I suddenly heard a childish girl's voice.
"Zhang Xiaohua, why don't you go to Yuehui Pavilion to play with me?"
When Lu Qingtang looked up, he saw Shui Xingyue standing in front of him.
She was thinking about how to get to Yuehui Pavilion last night, and now she took the initiative to send it to her door.
