The Hou family's mistress was reborn and destroyed the household registration book of the scumb

Chapter 26 Li Ke is Lu Lianzhi’s man
"Don't worry, Miss Dou, if that person shows up again I will definitely keep him."

As if he could see Dou Lianyi's worry, Qin Mu walked beside her and whispered comfort.

"Where are Mr. Qin going?"

Dou Lianyi forced a smile and looked around to find that she had followed Qin Mu to a busy street without knowing it.

There are shops on both sides of the street, and merchants gather there. There are salesmen carrying poles on their way, and there are also people driving carriages shouting and driving escorts. The shouts and shouts come and go, making it dizzying to watch.

"Of course I'm bringing Miss Dou to inspect my shop," Qin Mu arched her eyebrows, inexplicably feeling like a peacock showing off, "I wonder how Miss Dou feels?"

"Wait, you mean these shops all belong to you?"

Dou Lianyi pointed at the teahouses, pawnshops, and workshops on the street one by one with shock in her eyes, her tone filled with disbelief.

"Hahaha, what's weird about this, it's just..."

Before Qin Mu could finish his words, he was interrupted by shouts of chasing coming from not far away.

"Stop! Catch that thief!"

"You little bastard, how dare you steal from your grandfather!"

"Stop him!"

Dou Lianyi turned around and looked over, wanting to see who was so bold as to steal in broad daylight.

Behind her, Qin Mu's eyes flashed with a chill. He watched coldly as the thief rushed over, knocked over the cart on the street with all his strength, and then grabbed a large handful of vegetables from the seller's basket and threw it behind him. Throw away.

The whole street was in a mess in an instant. He even took away the pork stall owner's cleaver and waved it at the people blocking his way.

Although the movement was quite big and several officers and soldiers were attracted behind him, no one could catch up with this thief.

"careful!"

Qin Mu quickly pulled Dou Lianyi over to him, avoiding the thief who was rushing towards them because he was in a hurry.

At the same time, his wrist flicked slightly, and a barely visible silver needle shot out from his cuff, piercing the crook of the thief's knee, causing him to kneel down in an instant, and the kitchen knife flew out. .

"thanks……"

Dou Lianyi was also startled by this sudden appearance and staggered forward.

Seeing this, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Qin Mu put some force on his hands and half-hugged Dou Lianyi in his arms.

The two of them were very close at that moment, and Dou Lianyi could even feel Qin Mu's shallow breath brushing against his forehead.

There was also a looming scent of apricot blossoms, which made her nervously hold her breath.

In this silence, her eyes fluttered over Qin Mu's exquisitely embroidered clothes in confusion.

wrong!

The next second she reacted suddenly and pushed Qin Mu away!
"Master Qin, you have gone too far!"

Dou Lianyi's eyes moved slightly. Just when he was about to glare at Qin Mu, he ran straight into the other person's eyes that contained a slight smile and were astonishingly bright.

Qin Mu's mouth curved, and he turned his head to glance at the thief who was captured by the officers and soldiers who were chasing him. His tone sounded a little confused.

"I only know that Dayu controlled the floods and passed through the house three times without entering, but I don't know why Miss Dou would rather stop outside my 'Fengxue Pavilion' to admire the flowers than step inside to admire her face?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Dou Lianyi immediately took a step back, frowned, and scolded in a low voice with some embarrassment: "Young master Qin also knows that it is Dayu's home, how can you make such a comparison!" Hearing this, Qin Mu restrained himself. The smile on his lips disappeared, his hands clasped together, and he instantly returned to his polite manner that night. He apologized softly: "That was because I was rude. I hope Miss Dou won't take it to heart."

Seeing that Qin Mu was so sensible, Dou Lianyi didn't want to argue with him anymore. She lowered her eyes and said in a lukewarm tone: "No, let's say goodbye again."

However, before Dou Lianyi had gone far, he heard Qin Mu's teasing voice with a smile from behind.

"By the way, if I send a thank-you gift to my door next time, Qin would still prefer to see Miss Dou come in person."

Dou Lianyi almost choked on her breath, her face turned red with anger, she scolded in a low voice "You're a bastard!" and then she quickened her pace and left.

Qin Mu, who was standing there, raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

It was already dusk when Dou Lianyi returned home. Bai Zhi and Yuzhu Duhou waited outside the yard for a long time, and rushed to greet Dou Lianyi when they saw him.

"Young Madam, you are back."

"Ah."

Dou Lianyi nodded a little tiredly, went into the house and had dinner, then sat at the table by the window and looked through the ledger.

The candle was clearly extinguished, and Dou Lianyi's eyes felt a little sore after looking at it for a long time. She simply closed the account book, frowned and hit her right shoulder.

In such a quiet night, her mind began to feel a little dazed for some reason.

Bai Zhi, who was standing aside, quickly stepped forward to massage Dou Lianyi's shoulders.

"Madam, the candlelight has dimmed. It will be bad for your eyes if you continue to look at it."

Dou Lianyi raised her hand and pressed her eyebrows. She suddenly thought of what happened today and asked casually: "Bai Zhi, have you ever seen a person with two moles under his right eye in the Prince's Palace?"

Bai Zhi thought for a while, then shook her head and replied: "To tell you the truth, I have never seen such a person. How about I ask Xiao Liuzi now?"

Not understanding this matter always felt like a thorn in Dou Lianyi's heart. She nodded slightly and said, "Go ahead and tell Xiao Liuzi to be more strict with your mouth."

"Yes, young lady."

After Bai Zhi got the order, she quickly retreated.

The sky outside was extremely low, and there was a sense of moist water vapor floating in the air. It looked like there would be a heavy rain soon.

Dou Lianyi leaned against the window and lazily raised her eyes to glance at the apricot tree outside the window.

For some reason, her mind suddenly changed, and she inexplicably recalled the sweet scent of apricot flowers during the day. Her face suddenly felt hot, and she felt uncomfortable all over.

It happened that Bai Zhi also got the news from Xiao Liuzi at this time. She quickly walked into the room and saw Dou Lianyi's earlobes were red at first glance.

She blinked and blurted out in confusion: "Young madam, what's wrong with you? Why are you so angry?"

"It's nothing."

Dou Lianyi stood up quickly and reached out to close the window firmly, blocking the apricot tree that disturbed her mind.

Seeing this, Bai Zhi was also a little confused. Before she could think about it, she saw that Dou Lianyi had regained his calm expression and asked in a calm tone: "Has Xiao Liuzi seen this person in the prince's palace?"

"Yes, according to Xiao Liuzi, he saw this person once in Miss Er's courtyard many years ago, but he never saw him again after that."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dou Lianyi's eyes sharpened and he suddenly became alert.
