Watching the two maids from the Lu family lower their heads, look at him cautiously, and then leave from the gate of the courtyard, Yan Liqiang touched his nose somewhat awkwardly.
Lu Beixin lives on the west side of the backyard of the Lu family mansion. This is the inner house of the Lu family mansion. There are many female members in the inner house. Under normal circumstances, not to mention outsiders, even the male servants of the Lu family cannot come here at will. But today, when she came here, she had a smooth journey. The guards and maids of the Lu family treated her as a transparent person.
It seems that my identity as the son-in-law of the Lu family has been confirmed. If I dare not admit it in the future, I wonder if Mr. Lu will hire someone to chop me to death.
Yan Liqiang smiled bitterly, pushed open the door of the yard and walked in.
In the yard, there is a rockery, a small garden and a small pond. Next to the small pond is a two-story building. Lights shine through the building, just enough to illuminate the cobblestone path around the small pond.
Walking along the path to the small building, Yan Liqiang knocked on the door.
"I won't eat, I won't eat, I won't eat. Cuihe, tell my father to starve me to death. Just treat me as an unborn daughter. Why would he care about me..."
A voice came from the small building, seeming to carry infinite grievance.
From Lu Pei'en, Yan Liqiang learned that Lu Beixin, who lived here, had "already" been on a hunger strike for two days. Including today, it was the third day. Lu Beixin had already said that if Mr. Lu continued to punish her by grounding her house, she would starve to death.
During this period of confinement, Lu Beixin was cut off from all information from the outside world. Until now, she still didn't know that Wang Haofei was dead. The people in the Lu family didn't dare to tell her. Lu Beixin usually looked obedient, but she had a very stubborn side. If she knew that Wang Haofei was killed by Guo Shanfeng while waiting to meet her, Mr. Lu and Lu Payne were worried that she would do something irreparable.
The Lu family now has no idea how to end this matter.
While Lu Beixin was talking inside, Yan Liqiang had already taken out the key, opened the door silently, walked in gently, and saw Lu Beixin.
Miss Lu, who was said to have been on a "hunger strike" for three days, was sitting cross-legged on a soft couch in the room, eating osmanthus cake and saying cruel words about starving herself to death. Miss Lu had never expected that someone would come in without informing her, so she was stunned for a moment, holding a half-bitten piece of osmanthus cake in her hand, not knowing whether to eat it or throw it away.
What Miss Lu could not have imagined was that the person who came in was Yan Liqiang.
At this moment, Lu Beixin was wearing a goose yellow tight fox fur soft armor and a pair of emerald green tight pleated pants, with a cute double bun on her head. She looked relaxed and casual, yet had an indescribable beauty. The action of sitting cross-legged on the soft couch suddenly revealed her beautiful figure. The big parts were big, the small parts were small, the round parts were round, and the thin parts were thin. It was pleasing to the eye and exceptionally vivid and attractive.
Under Yan Liqiang's gaze, Miss Lu's face instantly turned red, and then she became angry and embarrassed. After eating the remaining half of the osmanthus cake in one bite, she stood up suddenly and glared at Yan Liqiang fiercely.
"why you?"
"Shh..." Yan Liqiang made a gesture to whisper, then looked around furtively and lowered his voice, "Speak softly..."
Lu Beixin was stunned for a moment. She had no idea what Yan Liqiang was up to. She just looked at Yan Liqiang with a puzzled look.
"Brother Wang Haofei asked me to save you!" Yan Liqiang still kept his voice low and walked towards Lu Beixin.
Hearing Yan Liqiang's words, Lu Beixin was so happy that she suddenly jumped up from the soft couch, but in the blink of an eye, she looked suspicious again, "How do you know each other, and how can you get in here?"
"Have you forgotten that I am also a new student at the National Martial Arts Hall? I met Brother Wang on my first day in the hall. I really admire Brother Wang's demeanor and personality. I didn't know about you, Miss Lu, and Brother Wang until I heard about it when I was drinking with Brother Wang a few days ago. I came here with my uncle today. Mr. Lu invited my uncle to eat bear paws, so I followed him. I just ran out on the pretext of being drunk, and sneaked in here..."
Lu Beixin still looked at Yan Liqiang with some suspicion and did not completely believe what Yan Liqiang said.
"Miss Lu, you still don't believe it? It's just as Brother Wang said. Brother Wang asked me to say five words, then Miss Lu will definitely believe it..." Yan Liqiang smiled bitterly.
"What five words?"
"The pavilion on Plum Garden Island!"
Sure enough, when she heard the five words Yan Liqiang said, the expression on Lu Beixin's face suddenly changed. In Lu Beixin's view, this was a secret that only she and Wang Haofei knew, and she had not told anyone. Now that Yan Liqiang could say it out loud, it must be Wang Haofei who told him.
"Where is Haofei?" Lu Beixin rushed over, grabbed Yan Liqiang's arm and asked anxiously.
Yan Liqiang said sternly, "Brother Wang is waiting for Miss Lu in a secret place. For you, Miss Lu, Brother Wang is ready to elope with you. If Miss Lu wants the same as Brother Wang, then I will take you to meet Brother Wang. If Miss Lu does not have this plan, then forget it, just pretend that I have never been here..."
Lu Beixin hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll go with you!"
"Then Miss Lu, please pack your luggage quickly and put on some warm clothes. I have just tricked those two girls outside away, and they will be back soon. I will be waiting for you outside, Miss Lu..." After saying this, Yan Liqiang didn't even look at Lu Beixin, but walked out directly and waited outside.
Lu Beixin was a little hesitant at first, but when she saw that Yan Liqiang had already walked out and didn't urge her anymore, she suddenly became determined.
When it comes to manipulating people's minds, even a hundred Lu Beixins combined are no match for Yan Liqiang.
Lu Beixin was indeed very fast. In less than three minutes, Lu Beixin came out, carrying a valuable on her back and wearing a thick cloak.
"This way..." Yan Liqiang led Lu Beixin to the small garden in the courtyard. When they reached the wall of the small garden, Yan Liqiang jumped lightly and stepped on the wall. Like a swallow, he easily climbed over the three-meter-high wall. His flexible figure made Lu Beixin's eyes light up. There were not many students like him even among the many students in the National Martial Arts Museum.
Yan Liqiang rode on the wall, hooked one foot on the wall, leaned down, and stretched out his hand to Lu Beixin, "Grab my hand, I'll pull you up..."
Lu Beixin looked at the high courtyard wall, then at the hand that Yan Liqiang stretched out, and after hesitating for less than a second, she decided to accept Yan Liqiang's help.
It was pitch black outside, and only the faint voices of people could be heard coming from the front yard of the Lu family. Yan Liqiang and Lu Beixin walked "carefully" all the way, groping in the dark, avoiding two groups of patrolling guards, climbing over three walls, and finally arrived outside the Lu family mansion.
In an alley outside the mansion, a rhino horse had already been prepared.
Yan Liqiang got on the horse first, then said to Lu Beixin, "Get on!"
"Why is there only one horse? How do we ride it?" Lu Beixin did not go up but glared at Yan Liqiang.
"Miss Lu, do you think I can come to Lujia Village by myself riding a few rhinoceros horses, or should I find a band to pick you up with music..."
Lu Beixin blushed and said coquettishly, "You come down, I'll go up..."
"Miss Lu, do you want me to lead you to the place where you will meet Brother Lu?" Yan Liqiang smiled while riding on the horse. "That place is very far from here. If Miss Lu thinks that this is okay and she is not afraid of being caught up by the Lu family, I don't mind!"
After struggling and considering for a while, Lu Beixin gritted her teeth, jumped onto the horse, and sat in front of Yan Liqiang, just like being held in Yan Liqiang's arms. The two of them were tightly pressed together, "I warn you, you have to behave yourself, don't think I'm easy to bully..."
"Miss Lu, do you think I am that kind of person?" Yan Liqiang smiled slightly, then shook the reins and squeezed the stirrups. The rhinoceros horse, like a sports car starting up, rushed forward all of a sudden, neighing loudly, and in the blink of an eye, it crossed a street in Lujiazhuang and ran out of Lujiazhuang.
…
On the wall of Lujiazhuang, Mr. Lu looked at the figure of the rhinoceros horse disappearing into the darkness for a long time before he retracted his gaze. He sighed and gave a bitter smile to Lu Peien and Qian Su beside him, "I hope Bei Xin can understand this time. Li Qiang's method works. Otherwise, I don't know how to end it!"
"Don't worry, Dad. Although Li Qiang is young, he is steady and reliable. As long as my ninth sister and Li Qiang are together, nothing will happen!" Lu Peien said.
"Of course I'm relieved about Li Qiang. Among the young people, he is the one I trust the most. If something really happens to them, that would be great. I wouldn't have to worry about it..." Mr. Lu sighed and shook his head.
Qian Su and Lu Pei'en looked at each other. The old man's words made them both unsure of what to say...
