When it rains slightly at night.
Lu Waner carried a bowl of soup to the small room in the inner courtyard of Xizi Bookstore.
"Master, it's time to take medicine."
There was a noise in the room, Qin Huairou restrained her meditation posture, nodded, and walked to the table.
The master and apprentice have been staying at Xizi Bookstore for ten days.
Now the outside world has spread.
Qin Huairou, the Fairy of Lingbo, was seriously injured, lost all her skills, and looked like a useless person.
The world has already exploded.
Not only the White Lotus Sect and the imperial court are searching for her whereabouts.
People from all walks of life in the world are searching.
In the past, Fairy Lingbo relied on her unparalleled kung fu to provoke many people and had many enemies.
Now Fairy Lingbo has no kung fu and has become a useless person.
Enemies who heard the news would naturally come to settle accounts.
Moreover, Fairy Lingbo has long been known as the most beautiful woman in the world, and there are countless people who covet her beauty.
At this time, if Qin Huairou's identity is exposed, the consequences will be disastrous.
Hiding in Hangzhou is nothing more than thinking that the most dangerous place is also the safest.
Fortunately, the owner of Xizi Publishing House, Liu Xiwen, had some friendship with Qin Huairou and was willing to take in the two masters and apprentices. He also kept the information secret and did not leak it to anyone.
In exchange, Lu Waner disguised herself as a man and stayed at Xizi Bookstore to temporarily look after the house and guard the home.
From Lu Wan'er's point of view, it would be better to go to Lin Wanjie than stay at Xizi Bookstore.
At least in Lu Waner's view, Lin Wanjie is more trustworthy than Mr. Liu.
However, her master, Qin Huairou, forbade her from interacting with Lin Wanjie anymore. After all, she was the enemy who killed her senior brother.
Because of some relationship involvement, she couldn't draw her sword to seek revenge on Lin Wanjie now. All Qin Huairou wanted was not to meet again.
Originally, Lu Waner's heart had stabilized and she no longer thought about the big man.
But it happened that we met at Xizi Bookstore today, and our identity was revealed, and we talked so much.
Many thoughts were stirred up by the big man again, and Lu Waner felt a little confused and depressed.
Qin Huairou is drinking medicine. This is her own recipe.
It is impossible for people who are accustomed to being masters to return to ordinary life.
Because I have become accustomed to being aloof, I have to try my best to recover after finishing my exercises.
It's just that ten days have passed, and Qin Huairou's skills have not made any progress.
Qin Huairou's body meridians seemed to have been poked with holes, and they were like a leaky ball. Any bit of zhenqi that entered would be quickly emptied out.
Originally, Lu Waner trusted her master 100% and felt that everything she did was right.
But now that she got to know Lin Wanjie, at least in terms of treating diseases and saving people, Lu Waner began to question her master, feeling that Lin Wanjie's words were authoritative.
She is also very worried about her master. She is afraid that if she will be like this all her life, her enemies will find out sooner or later, and their survival will be in question.
So when I watched Master drink the medicine, I couldn't help but ask: "Master, is this really okay?"
"Huh?" Qin Huairou glanced doubtfully.
Lu Waner lowered her head and said softly: "Do you want to ask him? He is very good at this."
Qin Huairou narrowed his eyes. He knew the words and deeds of the apprentice he taught very clearly: "Have you gone to see him?"
"..."
"What did I say? I told you to cut off all contact with him! How dare you secretly go to see him behind Master's back? Do you also think that Master can't control you without your inner strength?"
"No!" Lu Waner felt that Master's words were very serious, and she knelt down in fright. "Master, today at the university meeting, he was with the eldest daughter of the Xiao family, so we met him."
"met……"
Qin Huairou's expression softened slightly, and she waved her hand, indicating for her to get up first.
Lu Waner stood up and lowered her head in silence. What she was thinking about was Lin Wanjie's request, and she didn't know whether to tell her master.
Suddenly, Qin Huairou asked: "Do you like him?"
"ah?"
Lu Waner screamed and knelt down again in fright.
"Master, I..."
"You're so nervous, are you being fooled by me?"
"Master, I didn't..."
"You still said that!"
Qin Huairou emphasized her tone and raised her hand, which seemed to be about to fall down the next second.
Lu Waner closed her eyes, preparing to receive a slap from her master.
But the expected slap never came. When the hard slap landed on Lu Waner's face, it turned into a gentle caress.
Lu Wan'er opened her eyes and couldn't believe the tenderness in her master's eyes.
She had never seen her master so gentle.
Is it because of injury?
Just as he was thinking about it, Qin Huairou said softly: "Remember, he is always the murderer of your senior brother. He is the enemy of the master and the enemy of the White Lotus Sect. Now the master has no power and cannot restrain you in everything. But You have to make your own judgment on the merits, and you should forget about him as early as possible."
"Yes, Master."
Lu Waner answered simply, but she was also very determined in her heart.
Based on her master's attitude, she would not tell Lin Wanjie's request.
Forget about that big guy?
impossible!
Lu Waner was convinced that she couldn't do it.
On the contrary, the more Master lets him forget, the more he will miss him.
If not for anything else, it was because I felt an unprecedented sense of security from that big man.
Even though he doesn't know kung fu, he is more reliable and trustworthy than any martial arts master.
Qin Huairou didn't know that his most proud disciple had deceived him, so he nodded with satisfaction: "Don't think about other things. You should rest early."
"Master, I heard a piece of news." Lu Waner asked suddenly.
"Huh? What's the news?"
"I heard that King Cheng rebelled in the capital and was arrested by the emperor. Someone is investigating King Cheng to find evidence of King Cheng's rebellion!"
Qin Huairou's expression changed and she lowered her voice: "Where did you get this news?"
"A lot of people came to the university today. They just came from hearsay."
Qin Huairou took a deep breath and waved her hand: "You just need to know about this matter. There is no need to go into details. It has nothing to do with us."
"So, the news is true?"
"Um."
"How did master find out?"
Qin Huairou did not answer, but glared at Lu Waner.
"Master, please calm down. I'm just asking casually."
Qin Huairou thought for a while, then sighed: "Hey, it's not a big deal. Mr. Liu from Xizi Publishing House has a close relationship with the imperial court, so he will naturally know a lot of news from Chang'an. Soon there will be imperial envoys coming to Jiangnan to investigate, or... I want Mr. Liu to come and receive the imperial envoy."
Lu Waner was startled, there really was an imperial envoy!
In this way, Lin Wanjie must be informed of the news.
"What's wrong? You have a weird expression." Qin Huairou asked casually when he saw his apprentice's weird expression.
"No...it's nothing." Lu Wan'er handed over her hands and said, "Master, my disciple has gone to rest."
After leaving her master's room, Lu Waner returned to bed and began tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
Waiting until midnight, Xizi Bookstore was so quiet that there was no movement at all.
Lu Waner put on her night clothes and slipped out quietly.
It's raining tonight and the stars are dim.
With the help of the dim light, Lu Waner crawled all the way and slipped into the Xiao family courtyard.
The lights in the familiar thatched cottage were still on. Lu Waner felt happy and her face turned red for some reason.
All kinds of memories with Lin Wanjie came to mind, and the corners of his mouth raised, thinking of teasing.
"Huh, look at you, you stupid pig. I won't scare you to death later!"
Lu Wan'er arrived at the window and was about to jump in to surprise Lin Wanjie when she suddenly realized that the person in the thatched cottage was not Lin Wanjie!
Fortunately, he stopped in time and was not discovered.
The shocked Lu Wan'er rubbed her chest and gasped. After calming down for a while, she looked inside.
"This is...the second lady of the Xiao family?"
Lu Waner frowned, she was greatly surprised by the woman who appeared in the small thatched cottage.
It was still raining in the middle of the night, and Jian Niang was cleaning up in the small thatched house.
Judging from her concentration and seriousness, she didn't even notice the dust under the bed, and she didn't even notice anyone peeking outside the window.
They were all women, and Lu Waner saw the emotions in Niang Jian's heart.
When cleaning Lin Wanjie's room, who else could this sentiment be but for Lin Wanjie?
Moreover, there was a touch of sadness in this emotion, which made Lu Waner suspicious, what happened?
Why is Lin Wanjie not in the thatched cottage, but Jian Niang is cleaning it?
Where did Lin Wanjie go?
First Madam, Second Madam, Third Madam...
The faces of the three ladies flashed through Lu Waner's mind. It was unimaginable that all three ladies actually liked Lin Wanjie.
What's so good about that big guy?
Why do these noble ladies like him?
He's not handsome, he's stupid, he has a bad temper, and he's very courageous. He's not a lovable guy!
However, Lu Waner suddenly thought of herself, and a wry smile appeared on her face.
When no one is around, Lu Waner will not shy away from her heart.
Lu Wan'er admitted that she also likes Lin Wanjie, and she doesn't like her lightly, but sincerely. Now in her dreams, she is always that big guy, just like Mo Zheng, she can't get rid of him no matter what.
Just thinking about the three ladies of the Xiao family, I felt that none of them were good matches for Lin Wanjie. After all, they were all married to second-rate men.
But when I think about it, I feel even less worthy.
Children of the world, one day at a time, they might die, and marrying Lin Wanjie might harm him.
Think of this.
Lu Wan'er felt at peace in her heart. No matter which one of the three ladies it was, she would give her blessings from the bottom of her heart.
Maybe Lin Wanjie deserves better.
Lu Waner smiled, looking at the earnestness and carefulness of the second lady in the room, she knew that the other lady must be sincere and there was no need to worry about Lin Wanjie.
The night wind is accompanied by the spring rain, bringing a chill to the bones.
Lu Waner turned into a gust of wind and no longer disturbed the lovesick woman in the thatched cottage.
However, when Lu Wan'er was about to leave, the second lady inside suddenly frowned, made an unbearable expression, and fell silent with her hands on the table.
Lu Waner was startled and hurriedly stopped to observe.
I saw the second lady suddenly retching after silence, which lasted for half a minute.
Lu Waner couldn't sit still and wanted to ask about the situation.
But the next second, the second lady couldn't help but smile. When she lowered her head, she looked satisfied. Then she looked at her belly and rubbed it lovingly with her hands.
"!" Lu Wan'er stared and covered her mouth.
