It seems that Lin Jinlan was sure that Lu Mingyu would not come back today, so she found a reason to stay with Lin Wanyu.
It seems that she has been holding back her energy to avenge her son!
Bai Lu figured this out and felt extremely anxious. She didn't know what to do to save Lin Wanyu at this time.
If she rushed in directly, not to mention that she had no evidence, even if the concubine broke into the mistress's yard secretly, she would inevitably be beaten.
But what Bai Lu was worried about was not the fight, but that if she got caught in the act after being impulsive, no one would be able to save Lin Wanyu!
On the other side, Lin Wanyu looked at the table that was already covered with food. She kept paying attention to the surrounding environment intentionally or unintentionally from the corner of her eye, thinking about every possibility that might attack her.
Of course, the biggest crisis is still at the dinner table. If she was drugged, silently, she would be like a piece of fish on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered.
Why hasn't Xiangxue come back yet? Could it be that Lu Mingyu was not found?
Lin Wanyu's heart beat, and she began to think about how she could leave safely if Lu Mingyu couldn't come back...
"Come and have a meal. When you're done, I'll teach you how to change the guest list." Lin Jinlan lazily got up from the imperial concubine's bed and waved to Lin Wanyu who was standing aside.
"Yes." Lin Wanyu behaved very well.
After sitting down, she was still worried that something would go wrong, so she paid attention to what food Lin Jinlan ate, and she could just follow behind.
Seeing Lin Wanyu's restrained eating style, Lin Jinlan smiled and served her a bowl of soup herself: "Come and try this fish soup. Live fish in winter are the freshest."
Lin Wanyu accepted it with a smile, but did not dare to eat it. If she remembered correctly, Lin Jinlan had never touched a bite of this fish soup.
"Why don't you drink? Are you afraid that I will drug you?"
"How could it be? I just haven't been feeling well lately and can't smell the fishy smell." He said and pretended to be retching just right.
A poor excuse, but it works.
Lin Jinlan smiled and persuaded her again, and Lin Wanyu had no choice but to take a spoonful of it and spit it out the next second.
"I'm sorry, madam, I..." He retched again, causing Lin Jinlan, who had no appetite, to put down the bowl and chopsticks with a cold face.
"Since you can't eat it, don't eat it. Let's change the list."
Lin Wanyu took a deep breath and considered that she had passed the eating test.
Unexpectedly, Lin Jinlan's magical mind played her around. After changing more than a dozen versions, Lin Wanyu found that it was very similar to the first version!
"Okay! That's it!"
Lin Jinlan was very satisfied with her results. She patted the back of Lin Wanyu's hand gently and said gently: "You have worked hard today. Just copy it again and then go back."
"yes."
Lin Wanyu was nervous all night. Even while copying, she noticed that Lin Jinlan and others left quietly and locked the door.
There was a smell of sandalwood from outside.
Oh, you are obviously not a person who worships Buddha, but you still use sandalwood?
Lin Wanyu quickly put down her pen, took out a pill from her chest, and swallowed it dry.
She hadn't even had a drink of tea all night, but now she had to swallow the pills with a dry throat. Not to mention how uncomfortable it was, the pills felt like they were stuck in her throat. In the end, she beat her chest to get rid of them. Swallow.
Then she lay down on the table and found a comfortable position to pretend to be fascinated.
After two cups of tea, she felt someone unlock the door and come in, carrying her on his shoulders and walking out of the study.
Where are you going?
In just a few steps, many possibilities flashed through Lin Wanyu's mind. Maybe the person who greeted her was Ren Yazi? penalty? Or is it……
Lu Langchen.
Sure enough, the things you least want to face are the things that are easiest to encounter.
Lin Wanyu squinted one eye and saw clearly the direction they were walking, which was Chen Xiyuan.
Does Lin Jinlan want Lu Langchen to take revenge on her personally? But does Lu Langchen have the brains to know that she designed it?
She was very skeptical.
Then there is only one possibility left.
Thinking of Lu Langchen's lecherous look on Chu Yao's wedding day two or three months ago, she couldn't help but want to vomit.
Looking at the quiet lane in the dead of night, she and this boy were the only ones.
She took a deep breath, pulled out the hairpin from her head, and stabbed it hard into the boy's shoulder!
Then there was a deafening scream, and she was thrown out and fell heavily onto the gravel road.
Enduring the pain, Lin Wanyu quickly got up and ran in the opposite direction. However, the road was slippery in the dark night and she couldn't tell the way back to Tomorrow Garden for a while.
Just when she was about to choose a way to escape, a figure rushed over, took her hand and ran away.
"Don't be afraid, I will take you away!"
It was a very neutral voice, but the petite figure made Lin Wanyu think it was a girl.
But she was not wearing maid's clothes, instead she was dressed in black.
Seeing that the injured boy had been thrown away, Lin Wanyu also shook off the other person's hand, pulled out a hairpin and pointed it at her: "Who are you!"
But the other party didn't answer, or even turn around.
"Over there, go that way and you can go back to Tomorrow Garden." She pointed in one direction and ran away.
Lin Wanyu didn't expect this to happen, so she immediately watched her surroundings vigilantly, for fear that someone would rush out and capture her again.
Fortunately, this was a hidden path and no one came out. Lin Yunyu looked at the direction the girl was pointing. She didn't know whether she should listen to her, or whether there was a new trap at the end of the path.
After thinking briefly, she decided to walk in the direction the girl ran away.
But after taking a few steps, she came back and stood looking at the two directions, not knowing what to choose.
It was already cold in winter. When she was carried out by the boy, she was not wearing a cloak. She had just run for a while and felt nothing. Now, standing in the cold wind, she was shivering from the cold.
Suddenly, footsteps came from the direction she was running, getting closer and closer.
Lin Wanyu was afraid that the person coming was Lin Jinlan's person, so she chose to believe the girl in a few breaths, because at least she was sure that the girl was not Lin Jinlan's person.
If she was the one who just stabbed the boy and tried to escape, she could have rushed out, held her down, tied herself up with the boy and taken her back to Chen Xiyuan.
And she didn't.
After thinking about it, Lin Wanyu ran as fast as she could in the direction pointed by the girl. After walking through the path, I finally saw a courtyard lit with lanterns, which looked very familiar.
Hope burst into her eyes, and she quickened her pace and rushed over.
Sure enough, it’s Tomorrow Garden!
But the footsteps behind him were still there, so Lin Wanyu didn't dare to hesitate and ran into Tomorrow Garden. The boy guarding the gate was startled when he saw Lin Wanyu in such a mess and hurried to meet him.
"Behind, behind, someone is chasing me."
Lin Wanyu pointed behind her, and the figure was getting closer and closer.
She didn't expect that man to dare to follow him, so she hid behind the gatekeeper to see who he was.
"Xiangxue?"
When she saw the person clearly, Lin Wanyu exclaimed: "Why is it you?"
When Xiangxue saw that Lin Wanyu was fine, she cried and ran up to hug her: "Girl, you scared me to death!"
It turned out that Bai Lu knew that Lu Mingyu would probably not return home tonight, so she asked Xiangxue to hide outside Jinlan Garden. Shi Shan was responsible for notifying Lu Mingyu, while Bai Lu went to Chaolu Garden to find Chu Yao for help.
Later, Xiangxue saw Lin Wanyu being carried out of Jinlan Garden, so she quietly followed behind and found that the direction was towards Chen Xi Garden. She originally wanted to rush out and grab them, but she had to stop them even if she got in.
Unexpectedly, Lin Wanyu pretended to be stunned. She wanted to rush out but was intercepted by someone, so she continued to follow. When she saw Lin Wanyu was alone again, she wanted to step forward, but Lin Wanyu ran away by herself, so Xiangxue followed closely. is behind.
After hearing Xiangxue's explanation, Lin Wanyu felt something was strange, but she didn't think about it. After returning to the house, she asked again: "Where is Bai Lu? She hasn't come back yet?"
Lin Wanyu didn't care about resting and rushed to Bai Lu's house.
no one.
The secret guards guarding the west courtyard were called to inquire about Bai Lu's whereabouts, and learned that Bai Lu had gone to Chaolu Garden in the evening and had not returned.
Lin Wanyu knew that it was best for her not to go out at this time. When Lu Mingyu came back, she would be completely safe. But Bai Lu was still outside and hadn't come back at this time. Something must have happened.
One night was too long and she couldn't wait.
"How many secret guards do you have? How many can be mobilized?" Lin Yunyu breathed a sigh of relief, her body was trembling, but she spoke surprisingly calmly.
The secret guard instinctively refused to answer, but thinking that Lu Mingyu might not want anyone in the west courtyard to be harmed, he selectively replied: "There are two people who can be mobilized."
"Okay, come with me." Lin Wanyu took the cloak from Xiangmei, turned around and put it on, and walked out of Tomorrow Garden again.
She had been to Chaolu Garden a lot in recent days, but she never saw Lu Shengming every time she went there. Today, Lin Jinlan attacked her, not only to ensure that Lu Mingyu was not there, but also to ensure that Lu Shengming was there.
Only in this way can Chu Yao be held back and Chu Yao be helpless.
When they arrived at Chaolu Garden, Lin Wanyu did not rush in recklessly. Instead, she hid under the cover of night and let a secret guard go in for a visit.
After a while, the secret guard came back: "The main courtyard has rested, and Miss Bailu was not seen."
What's the meaning? Can Bailu disappear out of thin air?
Lin Wanyu didn't believe it: "Let's check again. If it's really not there, arrest the boy guarding the yard."
The secret guard took the order and went forward.
After another cup of tea, Lin Wanyu felt that no part of her body was warm, her hands and feet were cold, and her heart was even colder.
She was afraid.
This inner house is like a beast that eats people.
No wonder Bai Lu always said in the past that Tomorrow Garden was the safest and it was easy to get out of the house.
Just when she couldn't wait any longer, the secret guard came back with a person in his arms and kicked the person to the ground as soon as he landed.
Lin Wanyu's heart skipped a beat. She stepped forward and asked the secret guard to hold down his head and grab the ground to prevent him from seeing her. She then asked, "Has anyone come to see the young lady from this evening to now?"
She didn't dare to tell Bai Lu directly, otherwise it would be exposed that they were from Tomorrow Garden.
The boy was so frightened that he huddled up and shook his head: "No, no."
"Really? If you dare to lie, I will beat you to death with a stick!"
"No, really not! Dear heroes, please spare my life, I really don't know anything!"
The boy was so frightened that he lost his temper. In the end, Lin Wanyu had no choice but to ask the secret guards to knock him out and then send him back.
Bai Lu didn't come to Chao Luyuan, so where did she go?
"When will the Sixth Young Master come back?" Lin Wanyu didn't know if the secret guard knew, but she still wanted to ask.
The secret guard thought for a moment and replied, "Tomorrow."
Lin Wanyu was surprised to get a response, but now she couldn't help but think about it too much. She could only go back to Tomorrow Garden first, and when Lu Mingyu came back, he would come forward to search for Bai Lu in the whole house!
She didn't believe that there was no trace of a living person!
