Chapter 27 The attitude is completely opposite
This person was actually related to Lu Lianzhi, no wonder she always felt a little uneasy.

"Does Xiao Liuzi know his name? What is his relationship with Lu Lianzhi?"

Bai Zhi shook her head and said, "Xiao Liuzi said he didn't know, but he will definitely investigate and come back to report to the Young Madam."

Dou Lianyi nodded slightly and did not speak again. She just lowered her eyes and became thoughtful.

"Boom!"

Just when the house was quiet, there was a sudden thunder outside, and a heavy rain began to fall.

Dou Lianyi couldn't help but glance sideways at the window, which reflected the shadow of the apricot tree whose branches were swaying in the heavy rain. Judging from the intensity of the rain, the yard would be full of fallen flowers tomorrow.

When Dou Lianyi woke up the next day, it was still raining heavily outside.

Bai Zhi opened the window a small crack, and the wind that blew in brought a slight chill.

As soon as she turned around, she saw Dou Lianyi putting a cloak on her body. She quickly grabbed an umbrella and followed her and asked, "Young madam, do you still want to go out if it's raining?"

"Go for a walk in the yard, or you'll be stuck in the house all day again."

Dou Lianyi opened the door, and Bai Zhi behind her opened an umbrella to block the continuous rain. The master and servant walked into the yard one after another.

Before walking a few steps, I saw a servant hiding under the eaves outside the yard, looking in anxiously.

"Young madam, look, it's Xiao Liuzi!"

Bai Zhi recognized it immediately, pointed at the servant and said excitedly.

Dou Lianyi patted Bai Zhi's hand and signaled her to call Xiao Liuzi over, while she walked back to the corridor to take shelter from the rain.

Bai Zhi hurriedly said "yes" and ran all the way to call Xiao Liuzi over.

"Young Madam, this servant has asked!"

Xiao Liuzi followed Bai Zhi under the umbrella. As soon as he saw Dou Lianyi, he cleverly stepped forward and said loudly.

"Don't worry, your clothes are soaked."

Dou Lianyi took a bowl of hot ginger soup from Yuzhu on the side and handed it to Xiaoliuzi, and then motioned for her to get another set of clean clothes.

"Thank you young lady!"

Xiao Liuzi hurriedly took it, and after drinking it in a few sips, he hurriedly said: "I have already found out about the person the young lady is looking for. His name is Li Ke, and he is the child of a distant aunt of the second lady. The second lady followed him before. He looked familiar in front of me, but for some reason, he didn't appear in the house again."

Li Ke.

After Dou Lianyi recited this person's name silently in her heart, she did not forget to tell Xiao Liuzi: "If this person appears in the house again, you must come and tell me."

"Don't worry, young madam. If a new servant comes to the house, he must get the nod from the second housekeeper. It happens that the second housekeeper also has some personal relations with the servant, so he will definitely reveal some information to the servant."

Dou Lianyi nodded.

When Xiao Liuzi went down to change clothes, Bai Zhi asked curiously: "Young madam, why did you suddenly find this person?"

"You and Yuzhu should pay more attention during this period. I'm afraid this person is one of Lu Lianzhi's."

A bit of rain drifted in from outside the corridor and wet Dou Lianyi's cloak. She turned around and walked back into the house, taking off her cloak and continued with a frown: "Yesterday, he followed me all the way sneakily, and I didn't know who he was. Whatever you want to do, all you have to do is work hard."

Hearing this, Bai Zhi and Yu Zhu looked at each other and responded clearly: "I understand, young lady."

Although it didn't rain again in the next few days, the sky was always gloomy and Dou Lianyi had no idea of ​​going out.

Fu Qing would come over every day to say hello, sometimes bringing fresh gadgets he made himself, sometimes buying some sweets from the street. Occasionally, a few people would have a cup of tea in the yard and chat a few words.

I don’t know if it was because she had lost face on her last birthday, but neither the old lady nor Lu Shangxuan bothered Dou Lianyi again.Only once did she accidentally look out of the yard and saw Lu Shangxuan leading a girl to where Brother Dong lived.

Although the girl lowered her head and wore a veil to cover her face, Dou Lianyi still recognized the person as Lu Lianzhi at a glance.

Dou Lianyi could not help but sneer.

Lu Shangxuan looked over as if he was sensing something. After the two of them looked at each other from a distance, Dou Lianyi looked away indifferently and turned back to the house.

Seeing this, Lu Shangxuan frowned, feeling slightly unhappy inside.

"What's wrong brother?"

Lu Lianzhi saw that Lu Shangxuan paused on the spot and did not move forward, so she followed his gaze in confusion.

She happened to see Dou Lianyi's retreating back, and a slightly uneasy premonition emerged in her heart.

"Nothing, let's go."

Lu Shangxuan didn't want to say more. He looked away, smiled at Lu Lianzhi and said.

However, Lu Lianzhi began to think about it on her own. The more Lu Shangxuan didn't say anything, the more uncomfortable she became.

Dou Lianyi was not curious about what was happening outside. She spent most of the time quietly sitting by the window sill, reading and studying the medical books she brought from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Once, Bai Zhi, who brought tea in, made a joke: "Young lady, you take it so seriously, are you still worried that someone in the house will poison you?"

"I don't know for sure. It might come in handy someday."

Dou Lianyi responded casually without raising her head.

Unexpectedly, her words came true.

A few days later, the sky that had been gloomy for a long time finally cleared up. Dou Lianyi called Bai Zhi to change into a long goose-yellow dress with a waistband, and a milky white cloak with wide sleeves.

"Young lady looks in a good mood today."

Bai Zhi said with a smile while combing Dou Lianyi's hair into an exquisite bun.

"After being stuck in the house for so many days, people are going to get moldy. It's a rare opportunity to go out and get some fresh air. Naturally, you'll feel better."

Dou Lianyi smiled, raised her hand and twisted an emerald apricot hairpin on the table, and a few tassels swayed in the air.

After dressing up, Bai Zhi helped Dou Lianyi out of the yard, preparing to sit at Fu Qing's place.

There are many rhododendron trees planted along the road. When the weather gets warmer, the branches are crowded with pink and white flowers, which look really cute.

"Young lady, these azaleas are blooming so beautifully. Would you like me to pick some for the kitchen to make cakes?"

Seeing that Dou Lianyi was in a much happier mood, Bai Zhi, who was following him, smiled and raised her eyebrows.

However, Dou Lianyi shook his head and said in a serious tone: "No, this azalea looks beautiful, but it is actually quite toxic. If eaten by mistake, it will cause death."

"so serious!"

Bai Zhi was startled and quickly retracted her hand that wanted to pick the flowers.

"Especially... who's there!"

Dou Lianyi was mid-sentence when she suddenly heard the "click" sound of breaking branches not far away.
