Chapter 63

A night of autumn rain, falling red all over the ground.

When Luo Jiaojiao woke up in the morning, she didn't see Bo Langjun, and even Jiang Yu, who had been guarding outside the door, was gone.

Luo Jiaojiao, who was left alone, felt relaxed.She strolled to the street market, stepping on the soft leaves under her feet, feeling very comfortable in her heart.

The morning air is fresh, and the porridge shop and noodle shop are full of people eating breakfast.

An old woman in coarse clothes was persistently sweeping the fallen leaves on the street with a long broom.

A fast horse galloped past Luo Jiaojiao and went straight to the south of the street.

The old woman sweeping the floor fell to the side of the street in order to avoid the horse's hooves.Luo Jiaojiao stepped forward to help her up, but she didn't expect a sharp dagger to stab her in the abdomen.

Luo Jiaojiao instinctively pushed the old woman away, and quickly moved back.

The old woman's movement was even faster, she was already in front of Luo Jiaojiao, but the dagger had already touched Luo Jiaojiao's skin.

With a sound of "clang", a flying stone knocked down the dagger in the old woman's hand.Luo Jiaojiao broke out in a cold sweat.

Seeing that the assassination attempt failed, the old woman was about to escape, but was blocked by a person.

"Zhuang Qing?" Luo Jiaojiao saw clearly that the person who came was Zhuang Qing, the bodyguard beside Mrs. Liang.

The old woman was not Zhuang Qing's opponent and was captured.Luo Jiaojiao stepped forward and questioned the old woman why she wanted to kill her.

Zhuang Qing tore off the wig from the old woman's head, and a face of a man who had taken away the scar appeared in front of Luo Jiaojiao.

"Let's go back and talk!"

Zhuang Qing saw someone in a noodle shop across the street looking around, so he escorted that person back.

Surprised, Luo Jiaojiao followed behind Zhuang Qing.She really didn't understand who wanted her life, and why did Zhuang Qing suddenly appear to save her?

Luo Jiaojiao returned to the tea house and found that Bo Langjun and Jiang Yu had already returned.

Mr. Bo Lang asked where she went?How did the clothes get damaged?Luo Jiaojiao didn't hide anything, and told Bo Langjun exactly what happened just now.

"Don't go out casually in the future!" After Bo Langjun finished speaking, he was already outside the door.

Luo Jiaojiao hurried to the inner room to change clothes.She was thankful that the dagger only tore through her blouse.

"I don't know if the people arrested by Zhuang Qing have confessed anything? I have to go and see."

Thinking of this, Luo Jiaojiao walked out of the house and went downstairs.She went to the backyard, and when she passed the woodshed, she was shocked when she heard Zhuang Qing say that he had died.

"Bury it!" Bo Langjun's voice sounded from the woodshed.

"Who is it?" Jiang Yu, who was guarding outside the firewood room, heard Luo Jiaojiao's breath.

"It's me!" Luo Jiaojiao turned out from behind the tree, her face turning pale.

The door of the firewood room opened, and Bo Langjun and Mrs. Liang came out together.

"Don't go back to the room yet!" Bo Langjun scolded Luo Jiaojiao with a glare.

Luo Jiaojiao glanced at the firewood room, only to see that it was pitch black without a trace of light.She bit her lip and walked back, but heard Bo Langjun whispering: "Clean it up!"

As soon as Luo Jiaojiao reached the door, she was pushed in by Mr. Bo Lang behind her.

"You won't want to silence it!" Luo Jiaojiao staggered and turned around and glared at Bo Langjun.

"The next thing is extremely dangerous, do you still want to stay in the imperial city?" Bo Langjun approached Luo Jiaojiao, his expression was extremely stern.

"I have to try it!" Luo Jiaojiao stepped back in front of the desks, almost tripping over her.

A powerful big hand hooked her waist, Bo Langjun's eyes were full of complex expressions, his face was very close to her, and the sound of exhaling was clearly audible.

"I don't want anything to happen to you!" Bo Langjun spat out a sentence from his throat.

Luo Jiaojiao's heart beat instantly accelerated, she pushed Bo Langjun away with difficulty, and stood up straight.

"If I die! I can't blame you!"

"Let's go back!" Bo Langjun closed his eyes and said.

"You know what the antidote means to me!" Luo Jiaojiao suddenly became agitated, and her face flushed red because of it.

There was a tense atmosphere in the air in the room, and the two of them stalemate silently.

"Lang Jun! Invitation from the Zhao Mansion!" Jiang Yu whispered outside the door.

"Bring it in!"

Mr. Bo Lang opened his eyes and walked to the table, what should come will always come!

Jiang Yu delivered the post to Mr. Bo Lang, who stood aside.

"Jiang Yu! After we enter the Zhao Mansion tomorrow, we will search separately. The antidote may be stored in the Zhao Family Ancestral Hall, Captain Zhao's bedroom, the secret room, or the Zhao Mansion's medicine house!"

"I'll go to the ancestral hall!" Jiang Yu knew that the ancestral hall must be farther away, and it's not as convenient for Bo Langjun and Luo Jiaojiao to move around.

"Why didn't you hand over this matter to the workshop, why did you take the risk yourself? Could it be that Mr. Lang can't trust the servant's family?" Mrs. Liang pushed open the door and walked in.

Mr. Bo Lang raised his eyes and stared at Mrs. Liang without saying a word for a long time, his expression was cold and his lips were tightly pressed.

"It's the slave's rudeness! The slave's confession!" Mrs. Liang lowered her head and knelt in front of Mr. Bo Lang.

"If we make a mistake, we must not help! This is an order!" Mr. Bo Lang finally said.

"I can't do it!" Mrs. Liang kowtowed.

"It's your duty to protect the tea art workshop! Don't forget your duty!" Bo Langjun's tone was serious and ruthless.

"Yes! The slave family will leave!"

Luo Jiaojiao could hear the crying sound in Mrs. Liang's voice, and also saw the knife-like eyes she was looking at her when the door was closing.

"Jiang Yu! At that time, don't mess around!" Mr. Bo Lang instructed Jiang Yu.

"Subordinates understand!" Jiang Yu cupped his hands and exited the room.

Only now did Luo Jiaojiao realize how dangerous their trip tomorrow would be.She wants to say we are not going!But now it's hard to get off.

Captain Zhao's post has been posted, if they don't go, it will just give him an excuse to kill someone.If they go to the banquet, they don't know what traps are waiting!
Mr. Bo Lang sat behind the table and held the teacup in his hand without moving for a long time.Luo Jiaojiao was also standing behind him and meditating.

When Jiang Yu came to deliver dinner, the lights in the room were only lit.

"Let's eat! You can't be frightened before entering Longtan!" Bo Langjun handed the chopsticks to Luo Jiaojiao.

Luo Jiaojiao moved to the desk and sat down.She ate slowly, but with dignity.

Mr. Bo Lang stopped several times to look at Luo Jiaojiao.He had never seen her so quiet.

"I'm sorry! I shouldn't be so capricious!" Luo Jiaojiao put down the bowl and chopsticks, and looked up at Bo Langjun.

"You're wayward more than once!"

Mr. Bo Lang could still laugh, Luo Jiaojiao couldn't help frowning.

"Is he not afraid of death?"

"I'm tired!" Bo Langjun got up and walked slowly into the inner room.

Luo Jiaojiao watched Jiang Yu pick up the leftovers, but she was still restless.

Luo Jiaojiao went to the bathroom, trying to wash away the boredom in her heart.But even if she soaked in the bathtub, it couldn't dispel the depression in her heart.

"It's fine to find death by yourself, but you still drag someone else to be buried with you!" Mrs. Liang's cold voice came from outside the bathroom window.

Luo Jiaojiao who was soaking in the tub couldn't help shivering when she heard Mrs. Liang's cold voice.She didn't know whether it was tears or drops of water hanging on her face.What has she never been afraid of?But she was afraid that he would die because of his willfulness!
