Chapter 1034 Chapter 1034
Xu Lingbai was not good at drinking. He did not get drunk at the small banquet, but when he arrived at Yanlai Hall and chatted with some young men of his age, he happened to sit by the window in front of the desk. The evening breeze blew, and soon he got drunk.
Aru wanted to send Xu Lingbai back to Rongfuyuan. Seeing this, Huang Zhi stood up and supported Xu Lingbai, who was weak all over.
"I'll lend a hand and deliver them to one place."
Everyone was not suspicious, but Qin Qingdong howled, "It's boring to be in Yanlai Hall. We should go find Guanzhou to play. Last time she couldn't beat me in chess, and she wanted to play again someday. Isn't today a good time?"
Pei An refused immediately.
"She has been tired recently and has just sorted out the books left by my father-in-law. Don't mess with her."
Qin Qingdong snorted and laughed, "You boring man!"
After that, he winked at Chun Ge, who pouted silently, wanting to disobey, but was kicked by Qin Qingdong, "You are my master every day, and you are afraid of your old lady, but why don't you fear me?"
After being kicked, Chun Ge ran away as fast as a rabbit with its tail on fire.
On this side, Alu and Huang Zhi supported Xu Lingbai on both sides. Seeing the wind blowing, Xu Lingbai fell to the ground drunk. Alu wanted to carry him on his back, but Huang Zhi stopped him, "You are too small to carry Brother Lingbai. Help me to carry you on my back."
When he met the little maid Xile on the way, Alu asked, "Is my cousin in Rongfu Garden?"
Xile pointed to Shaohua Garden not far away and said, "My cousin is playing the piano with the young lady." Yesterday, Song Guanzhou had the idea of learning the piano. It happened that Xu Lingqiao had learned it when he was young. Although his skills were ordinary, he was able to teach Song Guanzhou, who didn't know any of the three instruments, Gong, Shang, Hui, Yu and Jiao, with ease.
"Go and tell your cousin that your cousin is drunk."
After hearing the instructions, Xile glanced at Huang Zhi and ran towards Shaohua Garden. Huang Zhi's heart suddenly started pounding.
After Huang Zhi carried Xu Lingbai into Rongfuyuan, Xu Lingqiao also followed in with Zhuang Gu, Lianhua and Xile.
"Brother, are you very drunk?"
Huang Zhi was so anxious when he heard the voice. When he and Alu put Xu Lingbai on the couch, Xu Lingqiao also came in with concern.
But when Huang Zhi stood up and the two of them met each other unexpectedly, Xu Lingqiao was stunned where he stood.
It was Zhuanggu who stepped forward and helped the unconscious Xu Lingbai to check on her. "Cousin, she is fine. She just fell asleep."
Lianhua and Xile were sent to fetch hot water, and several people washed Xu Ling's hands and feet.
After everything was settled, Aru and Huang Zhi were asked to move the unaware Xu Lingbai to the bed. Aru saw that everything was ready and turned to Huang Zhi to thank him, "Thank you, Third Young Master."
Huang Zhi waved his hand, "Brother Lingbai and I hit it off right away. I just carried him on my back for a few steps, so I don't deserve your thanks."
Hearing this, Xu Lingqiao could only suppress her worries and bowed, "Thank you, Third Young Master, for taking care of my brother."
The maids and old women were all there, Huang Zhi wanted to say something but hesitated, and finally had to give up.
"You're too polite, cousin."
When they were about to leave, Xile stepped forward and grabbed Alu's sleeve, "Brother Alu, the kite we flew yesterday landed on the roof of our house, and Uncle Liu is not here, so why don't you help us get it."
While it's still light.
Alu looked outside and said, "Okay, let me get the ladder." He turned around and was about to report to Huang Zhi, but Huang Zhi waved his hand and said, "You can get it, but it's not appropriate for you to go up alone. I'll stay here and give you a hand."
"Okay, please wait for me for a moment, Third Young Master."
Alu turned and ran out, Xile followed him. Zhuanggu and Lianhua served Xu Lingbai, leaving Huang Zhi and Xu Lingqiao in the outer room.
Xu Lingqiao was about to go in, but Huang Zhi immediately stepped forward and bowed to ask, "Cousin, I have a few words to say to you—"
"No matter what, please talk to my eldest brother."
Xu Lingqiao turned to leave, but Huang Zhi grabbed her sleeve, which made Xu Lingqiao lose her composure. She shook him off, looking angry and asking, "What do you mean, Third Young Master?"
Huang Zhi quickly let go.
But his body didn't move far away from Xu Lingqiao. He whispered, "I know it was you that night."
what!
Xu Lingqiao suddenly felt extremely humiliated. Her eyes were wet, her face was hot, and her lips were trembling, but she couldn't utter a word.
"Why are you...in a place like that?"
Xu Lingqiao suddenly straightened her mind. She swallowed her shame and anger, turned around and greeted him coldly, "What are you talking about, Third Young Master? Apart from today, when have I ever met you? You are talking nonsense. Do you think you have a grudge against me and want to kill me? "
"Of course not!"
Huang Zhi was also a little flustered. He looked around and saw that no one was disturbing him. He knew that he couldn't miss the opportunity. "I know you won't admit it, but I will look for you everywhere after you wake up--"
absurd!
Xu Ling's pretty eyes were filled with tears and the corners of her lips were trembling. It was obvious at first glance that she had been wronged.
"Don't harm me, Third Young Master. How can I, a girl from the boudoir, have any connection with you? If you talk like this, I'm afraid you're going to force me to death!"
After she finished speaking, the hot tears in her eyes could no longer be held back and flowed down.
She turned around and wiped it off quickly with a silk handkerchief.
Huang Zhi apologized repeatedly, "It must not be a misunderstanding. You don't admit it now, and I know it's difficult for you. Please wait in the mansion, and I will definitely give you an explanation."
Explain?
When Xu Lingqiao heard this, she forgot to cry.
He couldn't help but get angry, "What do you want to explain? You are the Third Young Master, and we only talked a few words today, why do you have to explain?"
But she had a gentle temperament, and even when she encountered such a panic, she only spoke a little hastily.
No deterrent effect at all!
Huang Zhi did not show any weakness when he saw this. Although he was a gentleman, he also had his own temper. Now that he had said this, he inexplicably felt more confident.
"You are the daughter of Xu family of Huaifeng. This may be caused by bad people. I don't care about these things. Just wait for me."
Just as she finished speaking, Zhuanggu and Lianhua came out from inside, lifting the floral cotton curtain and saying, "Miss, my cousin has fallen asleep. You don't have to worry."
Xu Lingqiao tilted her head and nodded slightly, "Zhuanggu, please go back quickly. I'm afraid Guanzhou will need more service. I will stay with my elder brother now and will not go to see my cousin. I will leave it to you."
"Yes."
Zhuang Gu knelt down and accepted the order, "Don't worry, cousin. As long as the second young master Qin doesn't make trouble, our young lady will be under the care of the fourth young master. She didn't drink too much today."
Aru outside also borrowed a wooden ladder. Huang Zhi took advantage of the situation and stuffed the blood jade flower pouch with a carved crabapple pattern that he had taken off earlier into Xu Lingqiao's hand.
Xu Lingqiao wanted to refuse, but heard the low voice, "This is a treasure passed down from generation to generation in my Huang family. It is worth a lot of money."
The slender hand was startled and then wrapped by the big hand.
He rubbed her little hand and put it into his sleeve. When he looked up again, the man had already strode out the door. "Alu, be careful."
The sun had set early and it was now dark.
A-Lu picked up the kite and gave it to Xile before greeting Xu Lingqiao and leaving. Xu Lingqiao stood by the door, watching the figure going away, not knowing whether the future would bring good fortune or disaster...
