Chapter 178 Bad luck
Lu Xiaowen hung her shoulders loosely, sat back down again, and murmured wistfully, "I wish I had half of her skills."

Liu Leyun leaned on her chin with one hand, "Oh, I wish I had a house elf."

The two sighed at the same time, looked at each other and smiled.

"Don't talk about those useless things." Liu Leyun asked: "Have you chosen a gift for Wan'er yet? After this birthday, she will be 13 years old. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to get together often in the future."

Lu Xiaowen pursed her lips and sighed quietly, "I really don't want to get married."

"Speaking so stupidly?" Liu Leyun put on a straight face, "Just tell me this kind of thing. Don't mention it in front of your mother."

Lu Xiaowen lowered her eyes, and her bright eyes lost their spirit for a moment, "I'm not a fool. When I face my mother, my mouth should be as sweet as possible, and I won't say a word that shouldn't be said."

Liu Leyun held Lu Xiaowen's hand, "This is what the concubine is like. The rest of our lives will be bitter or sweet, all thanks to mother's kindness."

"You are much better than me." Lu Xiaowen held Liu Leyun's hand back, "You have an aunt and a brother who is worthy. What about me? Nothing."

"At any rate, your father treats you well." Liu Leyun's eyes trembled slightly, and his voice was a little choked up, "My brother is no different with him or without him. He has never smiled at my aunt."

Lu Xiaowen sighed: "Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite."

Liu Leyun also sighed, "I really envy Miss Lu Wu. She has magical powers, even if she is married, no one dares to treat her poorly."

"It's a pity we can't get acquainted with her." Lu Xiaowen said in a low voice, as if she was talking to herself, "It is said that she was picked up, and life in Lu's mansion is difficult. Let me say that she is better than us. It's much more willful. Now I'm working in Wudewei, and I have my own house fairy..." He cupped his cheeks with both hands, "Oh, it can't be done, it can't be done. I'm going to be jealous of her if I talk about it."

"Even if you're jealous to death, people won't know." Liu Leyun refilled the grape juice for Lu Xiaowen, "Drink it quickly, and go pick out gifts for Wan'er after drinking."

……

"You want to interrogate Zhuang Qinglian?" Gao Tang folded his hands on the table, and placed a copy of "Sun Tzu's Art of War" in his hand, "Will it delay tomorrow's flight? If it is delayed, then forget it."

A layman is a layman.It's all layman's terms.Lu Zhen waved her hand, smiled and said, "No delay."

Gao Tang lowered his eyes and thought for a while, "Then, you go to the interrogation. Let Ake be with you. Tell him to do the hard work. After all, you are a girl, and it is not good to be smelly of blood."

Lu Zhen blinked in confusion, "Why does it smell like blood?"

Gao Tang raised his eyelids and stared at her indifferently.How can a child who usually looks very clever don't know how to handle cases?

This will not work.Let Ake teach her well.

"If you don't know, you don't need to ask." Gao Tang waved his hand impatiently, "Go outside and look for Ake to follow you to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Zhuang Qinglian is still locked up there. According to your order, six jailers who belong to dogs have been gathered to take turns. guard."

Lu Zhen nodded her head and said, "You have always done things safely."

Gao Tang ran out of patience and urged repeatedly, "Go, go. Don't get in the way of me."

Ake led Lu Zhen to the Ministry of Punishment, showed his token to explain his intention, and the Yamen took them to the prison.Zhuang Qinglian sat cross-legged on the ground with disheveled hair. Hearing footsteps, her neck moved, but she didn't raise her head.

Faint laughter echoed in the silent prison, and Zhuang Qinglian laughed at herself: "Miss Lu Wu is busy with your affairs, so you finally think of me?"

The jailer brought in two grand chairs, and Lu Zhen and Ake sat down with sullen faces and lifted their robes.Looking at Zhuang Qinglian through the wooden fence.Because he can spell, he was detained in solitary confinement.Lu Zhen set up a barrier here, and the guards who guarded him all celebrated their birthdays.

Just as Lu Zhen was about to speak, Ake stopped her with his eyes.Lu Zhen turned her head to look at Ake, what do you mean?Why not let her ask questions?
Ake replied with his eyes, this time is different from last time.Last time, it was either an adult or a nobleman, the two young ones could only obey orders.He didn't use all his abilities, so he got nothing.In short, he can't be blamed for his failure last time.The adults and nobles made him restrained in front of him.This time it was just him and Miss Lu Wu, and of course he was the presiding judge.

Before coming, the adults told him that Miss Lu Wu is a layman, so he has to make a good impression on her!
Lu Zhen only understood a little bit of Ake's eyes.Anyway, she is not allowed to speak!Why is Ake like this?Lu Zhen puffed her cheeks with anger.

Seeing that she was unhappy, Ake took out a small bag of Dong Tang and stuffed it into her hand.This is what the adults saved for Xiao Lu from between his teeth.The adults said that Xiao Lu had a miserable life experience, and he was fined for a whole year's salary all together.If there is something delicious to drink, I have to keep it for her.

what a gentleman!
Ake raised his eyebrows, signaling Lu Zhen to eat candy.

The second monk Lu Zhenzhang was puzzled.Look at Sugar and look at Ake.What are you kidding?What's the point of wrapping her in sugar when you're doing business?

She is a greedy person!Squeeze the oiled paper bag hard, and the total is only three yuan.Is it too little?

After thinking about it again, Ake's salary is not much.It's not bad to think about her if there is delicious food.

Ake was relieved when he saw her face softened.The adults are right, but children are happy when they have sugar.Taking a deep breath, she fixed her gaze on Zhuang Qinglian, "You...you should have figured it out, right?"

As soon as he spoke, Lu Zhen immediately noticed the difference.Ake's tone of voice was somewhat similar to Lao Gao's.

Really, who is not good to learn from Lao Gao.

Ake couldn't handle his unpredictable temperament.At best learn a little fur.Lu Zhen opened the greased paper bag nimbly with her fingers, took out a piece of candy and put it in her mouth.

Since Ake stuffed her mouth with sugar, she'll eat it.After eating, it was time for her to ask questions.

Zhuang Qinglian shook her shoulders and smiled contemptuously, "It's delicious and good to sleep here, what can you think about?" She raised her face and looked at Lu Zhen through her disheveled hair.

There are two faint lights under the dirty long hair, which are Zhuang Qinglian's eyes.For some reason, Lu Zhen saw Zhuang Qinglian's relief hidden deep in her heart through two faint lights.

Like... a dying person.

Lu Zhen yelled inwardly, swallowing the candy hastily, "He wants to die!"

As soon as the words fell, drops of blood flowed down the corners of Zhuang Qinglian's lips onto the front of her front, and immediately stained a large area red.Ake called the jailer to get the key to open the door.There was a sudden panic in the prison.

The cell door opened, and Zhuang Qinglian fell sideways on the ground, convulsing.

Seeing this, Ake said to Lu Zhen, "He bit his tongue."

The jailer opened Zhuang Qinglian's mouth, pulled out half of her bloody tongue, and said to Ake, "It can't be saved."

Ake slightly nodded, "Pretend to be buried. I will report to my lord." Lowering his voice, he cursed, "It's really bad luck."
