Chapter 301: Lu Tingfeng's Day of Walking on Thin Ice
Chapter 301: Lu Tingfeng's Day of Walking on Thin Ice
Lu Tingfeng's background is too complicated. He has the support of the Empress Dowager and is vaguely related to the former Crown Prince. Now, he is entangled with Qi Yuanhou.
It's normal for Yu Ke to be afraid. Her family is the only one here without any background. They are a merchant family. The more they know, the faster they will die.
Pei Yi saw that she looked unhappy, so he said to comfort her, "It's nothing. This person is not well-educated, but he is arrogant. He is poor and looks down on rich people. He doesn't want to know you."
Yu Ke: ..., I was comforted, but not much.
Xiao Yining was speechless when he heard this. This was such a hypocritical evaluation.
Then Yu Ke's shoulder was patted, and Chen Jiaoyi comforted her, "Don't be afraid, sister Yu Ke. As long as you pretend to be rich, that person will definitely stay away from you and won't know that you know his secret."
Yu Ke: ...
Xiao Yining: It turns out that blood relationship cannot be deceived, the two of them have similar speaking habits.
It was Xiao Yining who reliably comforted her, "Don't worry, Sister Yu Ke, we all know it. If we die, we die together."
Everyone:...
However, they did not expect things to become complicated. At first, Chen Jiaoyi just wanted to beat him up to vent her anger for her elders.
Liu Zhenying frowned and looked away, and asked, "Jiaojiao, are you going to beat up Mr. Lu today? How about we go back first? I want to tell my parents about this."
Chen Jiaoyi was also in a dilemma, and then she said one of the four great sayings: "Since I'm here, I won't be willing to go back like this."
Not only her, but also the few friends she pulled over felt a little unwilling. They had already spent a long time in Yuelai Teahouse for this person.
At this time, Xiao Yining suddenly said, "The prince of Qiyuanhou and I have a grudge. He caused my cousin and I to be captured by the beagle."
As soon as these words came out, Liu Zhenying's eyebrows curved immediately, "This person also stole my lantern. Birds of a feather flock together. No wonder Master Lu would stay with his family."
"If he knew that we knew his secret, he would definitely deal with us. I want to ask for some interest in advance, so that I won't die in frustration and have no one to avenge my family." Yu Ke thought pessimistically, but what she said was very clear. She must beat Lu Tingfeng.
Pei Yi listened to them one by one with an expressionless face. He pondered for a moment and said, "This matter was caused by me. If you insist on beating Lu Tingfeng, count me in. But now, let's leave here first. Qi Yuanhou has set up spies here, so we can't stay too long."
Before she finished speaking, Chen Jiaoyi couldn't hide her excitement and called out "Uncle."
Pei Yi also smiled brightly and responded to her, "Jiaojiao, you are so thoughtful. I am very happy to have a niece like you who cares about me."
He then lamented, "I have lived like a floating duckweed, but now there are countless people who care about me."
Then Xiao Yining saw a successful case of the beauty trap, and the three little sisters' faces were smoking.
Xiao Yining, who had no feelings about the faces of her fellow villagers, could only look at the three of them in confusion.
In front of the Qiyuanhou Mansion, a carriage passed slowly. No one noticed the plot inside, and no one would have thought that a bowl of medicine would cause such a tragedy.
……
An incense stick of time had passed when Lu Tingfeng came out of Qi Yuanhou's mansion. His face was covered with sweat and he looked painful. He gave the coachman a hoarse instruction and walked into the carriage, closing his eyes and thinking.
If you look closely, you will find that his left hand is trembling slightly, and the snow-white gauze that originally wrapped his hand has been stained with dirt and even blood is oozing out.
After an unknown amount of time, he slightly opened his eyes, raised his injured left hand, and revealed a bitter and sarcastic smile.
At this moment, the carriage stopped suddenly, almost making him lose his balance physically and mentally.
"Sir, the road ahead is blocked by carriages." The coachman's voice also came at this moment.
There was some movement outside, and it seemed that the driver went to check the situation. After a while, his panicked voice came again, "Sir, we can't go forward. One of the wheels of the cart has fallen off. We have to take a long detour."
Lu Tingfeng lifted the car curtain, took a look, and asked with pain, "How long will it take to get to Yuelai Teahouse by taking a detour?"
"We're going in the wrong direction, so this will take a long time." The driver wiped the sweat from his forehead and said truthfully.
"If you are in a hurry to go back, there is a shortcut nearby that leads to the street. You can walk a few steps and find another carriage to take you to Yuelai Teahouse."
Yanjing was a prosperous city with a constant flow of people and cars, but it was impossible for every family to have a horse-drawn carriage. However, there was a carriage and horse rental company on every street, which provided convenience for those who did not have a carriage.
After hearing this, Lu Tingfeng thought it was bad luck and got off the car. "Please point the way, old man. I'll walk over there."
The driver pointed to the alley ahead and drove away.
He resigned himself to his fate and walked to the alley entrance, but the situation inside made it difficult for him to move forward.
I saw a little child in the alley squatting on the ground with his head down. There was a pile of fresh rice under his clothes, with hot steam rising from it.
"..."
Lu Tingfeng looked helpless and was about to turn around and wait, but something strange happened at this moment.
Suddenly a huge force appeared behind him, pushing him into the alley, causing him to fall in front of the little child.
Before Lu Tingfeng could react, the little kid next to him started covering his face with fear and yelling, "Brother, someone is watching me poop."
Then, a basket was put on his head, pressing down on his neck and preventing him from getting up.
The alley was instantly in chaos.
Lu Tingfeng's hands were tied together at some point, and he was kicked countless times, but no one listened to his explanation.
Although there were only a few heavy blows on his body and the rest were not painful, he was still stunned.
Just as he was confused, he felt a sharp pain from below, causing him to scream.
Everyone stopped suddenly and looked at Yu Ke, the instigator. She raised her head proudly and stomped hard on the ground before she whispered, "My father said that it hurts the most there."
The other two little sisters suddenly realized what was going on, and they followed the rhythm and stomped their feet, then picked up little Yining, who had been watching the show, and ran away.
Pei Yi was left alone to face Lu Tingfeng who was screaming in pain.
Pei Yi: ..., you can’t even clean up the mess, and yet you’re trying to teach others a lesson like an adult.
He wordlessly used his insignificant mental strength to stab Lu Tingfeng's head, causing him to faint. Then he moved his face to the rice field and left slowly.
This delicious rice field was contributed by Xiao Yining. She ate a lot of pork elbow and her stomach was greasy.
Xiao Yining: Although my job is to watch plays, I also have to make some sacrifices.
