Recently, peach blossoms have bloomed in Mingshan Villa. Liu Xingfeng is a person who can't sit still, and thinks that it is too boring to enjoy flowers alone, so he forcibly pulls Ling Yuan out of the study.
They should have just arrived, and Jiang Rui had passed by before and hadn't met them yet.
This is the first time she has been so close to Ling Yuan since she came here.
She lowered her head slightly and approached, and stopped a few steps outside the pavilion, "I have seen the villa owner and Liu Shaoxia."
With his head down and his vision limited, he could only see the feet and wheelchairs of a few people. Surprisingly, when the wheelchair turned around, the wheels didn't move.
Jiang Rui guessed that Ling Yuan's internal force should be placed on the wheelchair, directly urging the entire chair to turn, rather than relying on two wheels. If he acts like this on weekdays, then his inner strength can be considered terrifyingly deep at this age.
"Don't be too polite." She heard Ling Yuan say warmly.
Even when speaking to a little cook, he still looked gentle and generous.
Liu Xingfeng stepped out of the pavilion, "Why are you here?"
Jiang Rui said truthfully: "Send snacks to Mr. Jia in the East Courtyard."
"No wonder, I don't see you walking around on weekdays. I heard that Sanniang makes late-night snacks? I want to eat fish porridge and lotus cake tonight, do you have any?"
"Since Liu Shaoxia has spoken, naturally he has." Jiang Rui said.
Alright, Liu Xingfeng smiled and said, "I knew Sanniang would not let me down. Brother Ling, what would you like to eat tonight? Why don't you report together so that Sanniang can prepare in advance."
Ling Yuan looked at the two of them and said with a smile, "No, I never eat at night."
Liu Xingfeng shook his head regretfully: "Then Brother Ling has lost a lot of fun. Is there something else to do in Sanniang's kitchen? Don't delay here, you can go."
Jiang Rui retired and walked out along the path. When she was about to leave the garden, she looked back.
Liu Xingfeng was talking to Ling Yuan, about something happy, and laughed out loud.
Ling Yuan had a slight smile on his face, rubbing the teacup with one hand, as if he had noticed something, and suddenly raised his eyes.
Across the layers of peach blossoms, the eyes of the two met for a moment, Jiang Rui seemed to be frightened, lowered her head and left immediately.
Ling Yuan looked calm and retracted his gaze, picked up the teacup and smeared the tea foam.
"Brother Ling, I said so much, why didn't you respond? How about you? You're right before. Can Sanniang be considered a beauty in Brother Ling's eyes?"
Ling Yuan smiled and said, "Liu Xiandi said it well."
"Let's just say," Liu Xingfeng slapped his palms, "such a beautiful girl, in your Mingshan Villa, will arrange people to do things in the kitchen. After a few days, I will get to know you better, and I will ask. Does she want to go home with me, at my house, at least let her be a big maid in charge, um... It's enough to cook for me occasionally."
Ling Yuan just smiled and said nothing.
Jiang Rui also wanted to find an opportunity to explore Liu Xingfeng's purpose, but the next day, the person serving in his yard said that he didn't have to cook Liu Shaoxia's meal in the past few days, and he went out early in the morning to visit elsewhere. Friends have gone, and I don't know when I will come back to Mingshan Villa.
As soon as these words came out, a few obscure gazes fell on Jiang Rui in the kitchen, some regretted and some worried.
Jiang Rui didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It seemed that they really felt that Liu Xingfeng had taken a fancy to her. At this time, they felt a pity for her to hear him leave.
But there is also a good point. Once others leave, she finally doesn't have to worry about others' misunderstandings.
Now she is in charge of the night supper for the owner and the servants, which is easier than preparing for breakfast. After all, there are not many people who eat supper, but every day ends a little late. When I woke up early in the morning, I started to doze every night, so when Li Ma went home, Jiang Rui simply asked her to go back to rest early.
Anyway, she herself is not worried that she will encounter danger when walking at night. First, the guards in Mingshan Villa are outside Song and Nei Yan, and ordinary night gangsters can't come in. Second, even if she accidentally encounters her, who is more unlucky to say no? allow.
In this way, a few nights passed without incident. That night, there was no moon in the sky. Jiang Rui was walking in the Ming Mountain Villa of Nuoda with a lantern. When she passed a small bamboo forest, she suddenly smelled a very faint smell of blood. The taste is extremely bland, and ordinary people can't find it at all, so although there are guards patrolling outside the bamboo forest, no one enters.
In normal times, Jiang Rui would not be too busy, but in addition to the smell of blood, she also felt Ling Yuan's breath, and there was no second person.
Is he injured
She stood on the path for a while, turned her feet, held a lantern in one hand, and lifted her skirt slightly in the other, and stepped into the bamboo forest.
At night, the light is dim, especially in the bamboo forest. Although there are lanterns, they are of little use. Jiang Rui walked forward by feeling, and vaguely saw a person sitting under a thick bamboo in front of him, pitch black. Not really.
Although she didn't make the slightest sound, the man still noticed it. Before he raised his head, Jiang Rui sensed a murderous aura.
