Chapter 2 Blind Night
After more than a month, the wound on Lu Chengfeng's body was healed, but the whip wound on his face was no different than others. The prison guard had dealt with it at the beginning, and left a long scar after scabbing from the corner of his left eye to his lip. There was a faint pinkness on the side, but somehow it matched her silence.

Le Nu's assessment is very important, it is related to whether the girls here have the ability to serve the nobles. After a month of practicing music theory, Lu Chengfeng is still in a mess, but he has never hurt his hand again.

The assessment was over, Yu Changying flipped through the list, and nodded with satisfaction: "It's not bad, you, and you...you two will be called to serve as the Music Square Division starting tomorrow, go get ready."

The two girls got up happily, their faces couldn't hide their complacency: "Thank you, Director!"

The temperature in mid-March began to change unpredictably. It was cold in the early morning, but it was so hot that people couldn't help taking off their outer clothes at noon. It was a headache repeatedly.

Lu Chengfeng was assigned to clean the Book Pavilion again today.

Fu Dan was eating melon seeds, leaning on the book bed, his face was full of anger and resentment.

Why are those two cheap hoofs able to come out of Lefang!But I can only stay here and do rough work!I don't know what benefits they gave the director!
Fu Dan looked angrily, glanced away, and saw that Lu Chengfeng was tidying up the desk by the window, she started to feel evil, and shouted: "Lu Chengfeng, come here!"

Lu Chengfeng put away the messy books on the table, got up and approached Fu Dan to stop.

Fu Dan narrowed his eyes: "Lu Chengfeng, tell me, do I look good?"

Lu Chengfeng nodded: "It looks good."

"Then why don't you say I can't come out of the band to play music for the nobles?"

Lu Chengfeng stood up straight, with a dull expression: "I don't know."

Fu Dan snorted and sat up, convinced that Lu Chengfeng was easy to bully: "Don't dare to say? What are you afraid of? I won't eat you again!"

Lu Chengfeng didn't answer.

For more than a month, Lu Chengfeng has always been in this half-dead state, just working silently, doing whatever he is asked to do, except that he is always dumb when he speaks occasionally.

Fu Dan was already angry in his heart, but looking at her virtue again, the long and hideous scar on her face was conspicuous. When her slightly angry face was touched, she suddenly relaxed, as if she had found a vent, and said bitterly: "Your face is scarier than a ghost. I'm afraid you will die in this music hall. Hey, will you be frightened by your face when you look in the mirror?"

Lu Chengfeng raised his eyelids.

"I heard that you don't know anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. You grew up on horseback, and you know martial arts?"

Lu Chengfeng looked at her blankly, looked away, and looked elsewhere.

On the contrary, Fu Dan became interested and asked curiously, "Lu Chengfeng, did you know about your father opening the Subei Pingyong City checkpoint and colluding with the enemy country in advance?"

"I also heard that both your eldest sister and concubine sister hanged themselves in the prison, why didn't you die?"

Lu Chengfeng looked back at Fu Dan.

Fu Dan leaned forward with a smile, and asked maliciously: "Lu Chengfeng, are you afraid of death?"

Lu Chengfeng's eyes flickered, his expression was like a pool of stagnant water, and he said, "You're right, I'm afraid of death."

She turned around to pick up the bucket, opened the bookstore door and went out.

Dan Fu snorted in disgust: "I don't know how to flatter you!"

Ten or so days have passed since the days were so lifeless, and spring began in April, and the weather began to be hot during the day and cold at night.

After nightfall, Vo Dan sneaked from the corridor of the music workshop to the wall of the backyard, surrounded by water pavilions and overgrown with flowers and plants. She carefully wrapped her cloak tightly around her body, looked around, and pushed aside the grass to go out.

Lu Chengfeng leaned against the corner of the rockery, her eyes were so dark that they seemed to be stained with ink, she curled her lips silently, turned her eyes back and went back to the room.

On the second day, Lu Chengfeng paid special attention to Fu Dan's actions all day long. She was talking and laughing with others with a ruddy complexion, and even hummed while washing clothes, looking in a good mood.

A few days later, Le Fangsi was shrouded in silence, the moonlight poured down, and in the cold wind, Vo Dan put on a black cloak, and sneaked into the dog hole.

Lu Chengfeng followed, outside was a secluded alleyway, a row of lush trees covered the hidden exit, the surroundings were quiet, and there was a burst of lively crowds in the distance.

Lu Chengfeng followed behind Fu Dan, keeping a distance. Seeing Fu Dan entering a small gate of a mansion, she raised her eyes and looked around vigilantly, and jumped into the wall.

At first glance, this mansion is not for ordinary people. The lights are dim, and there are servants watching the night. She avoids the guards and finds the place where Vo Dan is. As soon as she approaches, she hears a moan.

With a calm expression on his face, Lu Chengfeng raised his hand and gently opened the crack of the window, from which he could clearly see the situation inside the house.

Fu Dan's eager and unbearable voice came, coquettish and charming: "Master Fan...Master..."

Lu Chengfeng exited the same way.

Going out without permission is a big mistake in the Lefang Division, but Fu Dan is so presumptuous. It seems that she has not been in business with this young master Fan for a day or two. No wonder she wanted to leave the Lefang Division so much. The young master is a bed warming maid.

Just after turning the corner, at the end of the quiet light beside the arch, a purple figure stood lazily leaning against the door, blocking Lu Chengfeng's way.

The corners of his mouth were curled into a half-smile, and when he took a closer look, he looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a tall, slender figure and a jade-like face, and a pair of peach-blossom eyes that were dangerously slanted.

If the scene were changed, Lu Chengfeng would probably sincerely praise him for being a handsome young man, but right now he stopped the way, obviously the visitor was not kind.

Lu Chengfeng subconsciously took a step back.

Noticing her movement, the young man casually sneered, his eyes fixed on her: "You are so bold, you dare to trespass!"

Lu Chengfeng's face turned pale, and he said cowardly with fear, "This... this young master, I'm really sorry, I'm here to find someone, you don't remember the villain, please forgive me."

The teenager crossed his arms: "Looking for someone?"

Lu Chengfeng pointed to a place and said, "Look for the woman who came here."

The young man raised his eyebrows: "Are you from Lefang?"

Lu Chengfeng: "Yes."

A trace of disgust flashed across the young man's eyes, and his tone was a bit chilly: "Dogs from Le Fangsi dare to touch my garden? It's really a bear's heart and leopard courage!"

There are many mistakes in what he said at this moment. Since he didn't call the guards, he obviously had some scruples. Lu Chengfeng didn't want to offend anyone, so he lowered his eyes and said nothing.

The young man seemed to think of something, his face was weird for a moment, and he said: "You are from the music workshop, but I heard that there is someone new in the music workshop recently?"

Lu Chengfeng blinked: "A few women who committed crimes have come in."

The young man coughed unnaturally: "Is there any woman in her twenties?"

Lu Chengfeng couldn't help thinking to himself, could it be that this young man likes people who are older than himself, and because of his status, he doesn't dare to go to the Fengyue place, so he put his idea on Le Fang?

Lu Chengfeng had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but his expression was very natural: "I really don't know, I just joined the Lefang Division not long ago, so I really don't know the age of others."

The young man was silent for a moment, then lowered his voice: "Isn't there..."

He quickly returned to his previous look, and said with disgust: "I will spare you this time, but you remember, you owe me a life, when I want your dog's life, I will naturally send someone to kill you!" Pick!"

There was a sound of footsteps in the corridor outside the arch, and more than one person heard the sound.

Lu Chengfeng nodded obediently: "Understood."

Lu Chengfeng walked forward quickly. She was sensitive to smells, and when she staggered, she smelled a faint smell of wine. It was the old Shaoxing Nurhong.

Seeing that Lu Chengfeng was about to turn the corner.

"Wait." The boy stopped him, as if he had just remembered: "What's your name?"

Lu Chengfeng was stunned for a moment, she couldn't help lying about this question, if this person had a whim and looked at the roster of the band one day, he would be able to tell the truth of the night.

She quickly replied in a low voice: "Lu Chengfeng."

There was already a voice from the other side of the corridor: "Jiu Xiao, what are you doing standing there? Are you still drinking?"

Two men, who were clearly drunk, crossed their shoulders and came to the young man. Seeing his expression changed, one of them couldn't help asking, "What's the matter? You look like you're out of your mind? Have you run into a ghost?"

Xie Jiuxiao's expression was normal in an instant: "It's okay, go back and drink."

When Lu Chengfeng returned to the Lefang Division, the night was already deep. She lay on the bed thinking about the boy who blocked the way tonight.

Jiuxiao?

Lu Chengfeng thought about Yanjing City for a while, but she lived in Subei all year round, a thousand miles away from Yanjing, and was extremely unfamiliar with the people and things here, so she really didn't know who this young man was. Without a clue, there was a sound of sneaky footsteps outside.

Lu Chengfeng opened the door, and Fu Dan was carefully returning to his room wrapped in a cloak.

In a place where no one was around, Lu Chengfeng's expression became very intriguing. She looked at Fu Dan's disappearing figure, and if she thought about it, she quickly had a vague guess in her mind.
