Chapter 36
Lin Xiaorou was imprisoned by the inn to work because she couldn't pay the room fee. She met Huo Qihan that night when she was tired from a day's work. In principle, she concealed this tragedy from Huo Qihan.

Today, it is rare that the innkeeper did not ask her to do hard work, but asked her to go to Li's mansion to recover a sum of money owed.

In fact, the debt was won by the innkeeper from gambling with Li Fu a year ago. In the end, Li Fu kept owing it on the grounds that he didn’t have any money with him. A kind of evasive insult.

Even today, the innkeeper doesn't want it anymore, he just asked Lin Xiaorou to try it for the last time.

So Lin Xiaorou came.

Knocked on the door, and soon a maid came to open the door, seeing her, she looked at her very vigilantly and said: "Who are you?"

Lin Xiaorou smiled and said, "I'm here for Boss Li. The shopkeeper of my Fuyuan Inn has come to ask me to chase him for a debt of 50 taels of silver."

When she heard that it was someone from Fuyuan Inn, the maid showed disgust in her eyes, she said wait a moment and then slammed the door, but I don't know if it was closed too hard and the door bounced open a little bit, or the door was originally The bad one actually opened a small crack.

Lin Xiaorou stood dignifiedly at the door and waited. After waiting for a cup of tea, no one came to answer the door, so she boldly pushed the door gently.

This push opened the door.

Lin Xiaorou was taken aback for a moment, and called out a few times in a low voice: "Is anyone there?"

After waiting at the door for a while, there was no answer, so he walked in cautiously. When he reached the entrance of the main hall, he suddenly smelled a pungent smell.

Since Li Fu's death, almost all the servants in the mansion were dismissed by Li Yuanyuan, leaving only one confidant maid.

That's why Lin Xiaorou walked all the way in so no one would notice her.

She hid behind the door and watched in shock as Li Yuanyuan and the maid poured a glass of white water into Li Fu's mouth.

And the pungent smell is exactly what the strange glass of water exudes.

"Miss, will the master blame us if we do this?" The maid was obviously a little scared, and the hand holding Li Fu was trembling.

Li Yuanyuan's eyes were red and swollen, and her eyes were full of tears. She sniffed and said, "Daddy will understand my heart. I just want to avenge him. Only in this way can I make Huo Qihan and Nan Gongling pay the price, my little pity." Remember, my father was poisoned to death by the two of them at today's banquet."

"But they have to have a reason for wanting to poison the master, what should I say then."

"Hmph, you just said that the two of you came to discuss the antique business, and asked my father to give them a low price of Wufengzhai, but my father refused, so they secretly poisoned the wine."

These words fell into Lin Xiaorou's ears verbatim, and she covered her mouth in shock for fear that she could not help crying out.

It's terrible, these two women are planning to frame Huo Qihan and Nangong Ling.

No, I have to inform them that although they have all hurt themselves, they have also given her some warmth.

Just as she was about to run, she accidentally tripped on the stone steps, and when she instinctively grabbed to the side, she brought down a potted plant.

The flower pot fell to the ground with a loud noise.

"Who!"

Li Yuanyuan and the maid hurriedly chased after her expression changed, and panicked when they saw Lin Xiaorou running ahead.

"Xiao Lian, don't let her escape, catch her quickly."

Xiao Lian usually does a lot of rough and delicate work, but she still has a lot of strength, and her running speed is not slow.

Just when Lin Xiaorou was about to escape out of the gate, someone stopped outside the gate, and she couldn't pull it open.

Lin Xiaorou was stunned for a moment, but was soon caught by Xiao Lian.

"Since you have heard our secret, you can't go out of this door again."

With a fierce look in Xiao Lian's eyes, she actually took out a short dagger that was usually used for self-defense from her sleeve.

"Girl, I didn't hear anything. I just came to ask for the debt. If you don't have enough money, forget it. I'll go back and tell the boss."

Lin Xiaorou smiled wryly and retreated step by step. Recently, her body leaned against the gate to enter or retreat.

Damn it, which bastard locked the door outside!

Xiao Lian waved her bright dagger, and said with a sneer, "Is there any money owed, and you don't even think about going back now."

After speaking, he reached out and grabbed her, and brought her to Li Yuanyuan.

This time, Lin Xiaorou saw Li Yuanyuan clearly, and she was so shocked that she couldn't speak. Isn't this woman the one who fought with her at the beauty pageant last time!

Seeing her looking straight at her, Li Yuanyuan scolded angrily: "What are you looking at, tell me what you heard."

"Ah? What did you say? I'm sorry, sometimes my ears suddenly become deaf. I didn't hear what you just said."

Lin Xiaorou is well aware of Li Yuanyuan's strength, and it's not a problem to fight her one-on-one. The key is that the maid with the knife in the back is really strong in grabbing her just now.

In case of a one-on-one meeting, she must be the one who suffers, so she decided to pretend to be stupid.

Li Yuanyuan was taken aback for a moment, feeling that her voice seemed familiar.

"Have we met somewhere?"

"What did you say?"

"Talk to me well, don't think that you can get away with being fooled by pretending to be stupid."

Jeez, it was dismantled so quickly.

Lin Xiaorou pretended to be pitiful: "Miss, I really didn't hear anything, I just saw you two reciting poems against each other, what is the moonlight in front of the bed, it is suspected to be frost on the ground, the two girls are really talented. It's a pity I have a problem with this ear and only hear half of it."

"Girl, you are very smart, but I don't want to have the handle fall into the hands of others, you understand."

Even though Lin Xiaorou had tactfully stated her attitude, she didn't hear anything and wouldn't talk nonsense, but Li Yuanyuan didn't think so.

These hundred secrets are bound to be one thing, so it's hard to guarantee that Lin Xiaorou won't suddenly change her mind and betray them, so she secretly smiled and said softly: "Xiao Lian, since we are all guests here, why don't we just eat here before leaving."

Have a meal?Lin Xiaorou was taken aback, was it a bit weird to ask for a meal at this time, she couldn't help laughing and evading, "Thank you for your kindness, girl, I've lost weight recently so I only drink water and don't eat, so you don't have to be polite."

"Eat as soon as I tell you to eat, don't talk so much nonsense." A cold object pressed against her back, causing Lin Xiaorou to tremble all over in fright, and hurriedly waved her hands: "I'll eat, I'll eat, don't talk about it, I've lost too much weight I'm really hungry."

She laughed dryly and was taken hostage into the hall.

After a while, the maid with the knife brought some small dishes and said with a smile, "Please."

Although facing a plate full of delicacies, Lin Xiaorou has no appetite at all. She always feels that there are poisons like arsenic in this dish. As soon as she takes a bite, she will foam at the mouth and go westward. How could she die young without being paid, so she just watched and refused to do anything.

"Eating alone is too lonely, so I just want to have someone to accompany me. Is it not good for the girl to dislike my food?" Seeing that she didn't move her chopsticks, Li Yuanyuan smiled and sat next to her, then picked up another pair of chopsticks I took a bite of the dish and ate it in my mouth.

"Don't worry, it's not poisonous, I just want someone to eat with me."

Li Yuanyuan's smile is harmless to humans and animals, and her dimples are revealed, which is almost intoxicating, especially the innocent sadness in her eyes, which makes people want to offer their sincerity immediately.

Lin Xiaorou couldn't believe it, the vicious words just came out of her mouth.

Anyway, I couldn't leave today, and seeing that she was fine after eating, Lin Xiaorou just ate from the plate she put in just now, and didn't touch the rest.

Just when she was about to finish eating a whole pot of vegetables, she suddenly had abdominal cramps, dizziness, and lost all strength in her hands and feet. She barely stood up while supporting the table and looked at Li Yuanyuan in horror: "This, there is something wrong with this dish. "

Li Yuanyuan smiled softly, and when she turned her head, she spit out all the food she had just eaten on the ground.

"Don't worry, I won't let you die, I just let you sleep here for two days."

Lin Xiaorou didn't understand what she meant, but she could see the viciousness in her eyes.

Damn it, it's true that women are the most poisonous, and beautiful women are even more terrifying.

Lin Xiaorou couldn't even open her dizzy mouth, her eyes closed and opened extremely slowly, and then she fell to the ground in a loud noise.

"Miss, what should we do now?"

"Carry her into the next room, and dress me."

Xiao Lian really couldn't understand how she was dressed at this time, she looked at Li Yuanyuan wondering but didn't dare to ask.

Seeing her standing still, Li Yuanyuan sighed helplessly when she understood her thoughts: "I tell you to do it and you do it. I'm going out at night. You keep the door and don't open it when anyone comes. Remember that No, go and find out if Mrs. Zhou is in the mansion today, hurry up."

Xiao Lian groaned and carried Lin Xiaorou to another room with difficulty, while Li Yuanyuan walked around behind the screen in the hall, her eyes were instantly covered with tears.

Heartbroken, she fell on Li Fu's body, weeping unceasingly.

He vowed to make Nangong and the Huo family pay the price.

Xiao Lian went to the magistrate and used some tricks to quickly find out that Mrs. Zhou had gone back to her mother's house in anger because of a quarrel with Mr. Zhou. According to past experience, she would not come back for at least half a month.

Li Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the news. God really helped her. If the famous tigress was there, she would not be able to carry out her plan tonight.

At night, the night is vast, and a limited number of stars twinkle and twinkle in the sky, like eyes spying on the world.

A crescent moon shines lightly on the world.

Li Yuanyuan wore a lotus-colored open-chest skirt tonight, and her fair skin was extraordinarily crystal clear under the moonlight.

She had powder applied on her face, and her red lips were slightly red, showing an indescribable charm.

When she came to the back door of the yamen, she was stopped by the guard at the door, and she took out a 50 tael silver note from her sleeve and handed it to him, whispering softly: "Little brother, I am a girl from Huamanlou, and I am Master Zhou." Let me come at night, he said that it is inconvenient for him to go to our place as a member of the official family, so please open the door for your convenience."

The young man quietly rolled up the banknote into his sleeve, and said coldly, "Wait until I go in and give an announcement."
