The Prince's Humen's Wife

Chapter 42 Who is the secret agent (2)
Even after walking far away, Li Chaochao could still feel the burning gaze behind him, but he disappeared into the crowd without looking back.

She was in a hurry to rush home, and she had no time to think about whether Lan Lingyu would chase her, but before she could leave the intersection, someone hurriedly shouted from behind: "Little lady, please wait a moment."

A carriage hurriedly came from behind, and when it got close, an old man with a white beard jumped off the carriage and bowed to Li Chaochao, "Little lady, it's a long way home so don't delay, please get in the carriage."

Li Chaochao looked at him hesitantly, "Who told you to come?"

The old man smiled: "My master's surname is Lan."

Li Chaochao didn't ask any more questions, jumped into the carriage and lifted the curtain to sit in, and ordered: "Go to the back street of Donglin."

"Yes, you can sit down, little lady."

The old man flicked his whip in the air, and shouted "Come on". The carriage is no different from ordinary people, and the decoration inside is not eye-catching, but it sits very flat and stable.

Li Chaochao leaned on the car and closed his eyes in thought. Although she said that she had evened with Lan Lingyu before, in detail, she still owed him. Having worries about the future, he promised himself that he would never intervene in the actions of the hidden guards, and now he has even considered the matter of sending her back in a carriage, not to mention that he saved himself by swapping the sedan chair, Li Chaochao is truly grateful from the bottom of his heart .

She didn't want to be involved with the Lan family in this life, but if Lan Lingyu had difficulties in the future, she would definitely not stand by and watch.

As Lan Lingyu said, when it comes to doing bad things, the two of them are really in tune.

It is indeed a long way from the prefect's house back to Li's mansion. The journey takes at least two hours, and it took more than half an hour in a carriage. Li Chaochao has already sent the secret guard to the Shuangzhu Hall to report the letter to Mama He, and arrived at the corner gate. She wanted to express her gratitude to the old man, but she couldn't find a copper coin all over her body.

The old man laughed loudly, "Young lady, don't be too polite. It is my good fortune to be able to serve you. Before I come, my master asked me to convey a word. No matter what you do, please believe that he is the best helper. Never will be a burden to you."

After finishing speaking, he nimbly jumped into the carriage and drove out of the alley.

Li Chaochao saw that the old man was in his early sixties at least, and he was so flexible, so he must have good skills. She was a little curious about where Lan Lingyu had recruited so many strange talents.

At this time, the corner door was pushed open from the inside, and Mother He came out to take a look when she heard the movement, and found Li Chaochao standing at the door, she hurriedly went up to her, "Why did the girl come back so quickly?"

After Li Chaochao asked Xiao Sui to throw Jin Niang at the door of the prefect's house, he went directly to the Shuangzhu Hall to report to Mother He, while Xiao Yi followed in the dark.

"I took a carriage."

Li Chaochao replied briefly, and the two of them hurried back to the yard without being overly polite. Fortunately, the corner gate led to the Shuangzhu Pavilion, and no one noticed when they came in and out.

Mother He took a deep breath, as if a big stone had fallen from her heart, and said: "I have paid out all the people in the yard, and no one will know. I shirk from Da Furen's side and say that the girl has suffered." She doesn't care about the wind and cold."

"Mom is very considerate." When he arrived in the yard, Li Chaochao rubbed his brows tiredly and asked, "How is Dongyue?"

Mentioning this, Mama He's teeth itch with anger, "That gangster was too ruthless, the back of Dongyue's neck was all bruised, but luckily no bones were hurt!"

"Did you find a doctor to see it?"

"I didn't dare to disturb others, so I asked a few old women who are knowledgeable in medicine, and I applied the medicine myself." Mother He was filled with resentment, "Girl, who is so bold to attack you next time! "

Mother He was also anxious, what happened to the fifth girl after she was taken away, and she even changed into new clothes when she came back. She was afraid of hearing bad news, so she didn't dare to ask more.

Li Chaochao sneered, "You just wait and see, you won't know in a while."

"Yes." Mother He saw that her expression was fairly relaxed, and she relaxed her tense anxiety a little, but she still couldn't help but asked worriedly: "But how did that villain know that you left the yard late at night, did you stay on the sidelines? Or early?" Premeditated?"

Li Chaochao's footsteps paused slightly, and he narrowed his eyes suspiciously. Seeing that she was silent, Mother He slapped her thigh suddenly, "Could it be that there are spies in our yard? Isn't that watching our every move? Then A person is an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf."

"Mom, why bother to be angry, you hurt your body carefully."

Li Chaochao's face was light and calm, and he couldn't hear any joy or anger. Mother He spit out incomprehensibly, "The girl is not angry, I found out who did it, let's see if I didn't peel off her skin! "

Li Chaochao walked to the east chamber where Dongyue lived. There were only four servant girls and two women in this courtyard. She thought that she was kind to them on weekdays. awful.

She comforted her, "Mum, you don't need to worry too much. We don't have to do anything. That person will show his feet sooner or later, and he will clean up the mess. There is no need to dirty our hands."

Entering the East Wing, the light in the room is not too dark, and the layout is simple, one can see the person lying on the bed at a glance.

Dongyue was about to get up when she heard the movement, but Li Chaochao hurriedly took a few steps to hold her down, "Don't get up if you are injured."

"No, girl, I am ashamed of you."

Dongyue is also a stubborn person. She thinks that she has not done enough to protect the safety of her master, even a thousand cuts are not enough to make up for the mistakes she made. She knelt in front of the bed and kowtowed a few times, "Please punish me. .”

Li Chaochao saw that she insisted on this, so he stood up and Lan looked at her coldly, "Okay, then I will punish you to get well quickly and protect me, or you will be disloyal to me, only thinking about your own fault, but not Thinking about the future is really disgusting."

Dongyue was stunned for a while, her temperament was really simple and honest, she didn't understand what Li Chaochao meant for a while, and mother He couldn't help chuckling, "Get up, Dongyue, the girl is teasing you, she is telling you to be good." recuperate."

Seeing Dongyue's lack of confidence, Mother He said again: "If you don't listen to the girl, the girl will be angry."

"Yes, girl, it's my blessing that Dongyue has a master like you."

"Stop talking nasty words, I'm more satisfied with you being alive and kicking, and when you're done, give me a trick to pull down the weeping willow."

"Girl wanted to see it, so I pulled up all the weeping willows in the yard to amuse the girl." Dongyue smiled honestly, but she didn't know what to think of, and there was more aggressiveness in her smile, "Wait until the bad guy is found out." No need for the girl to speak, I'll grab her head and kick it as a ball myself."
