Chapter 90 The Third Lady’s Garden
  Backyard, Orchid Garden.

Because the third lady's name was Fang Lanxiang, the small courtyard here was named after her.

Before a few people got close, there was a scent of orchids wafting in the wind.

When Luo Qingfeng was approaching the entrance of the small courtyard, he suddenly stopped and asked, "Will the Duke come to have a meal?"

Miss Dong Er said softly: "Dad is busy with official business and is not in the house today."

Dong Miaomiao pouted at the side and said: "It would be better if dad doesn't come. Once he comes, he will scold us. With dad here, we don't dare to speak."

When Luo Qingfeng heard this, he quickly cupped his hands and said, "If this is the case, then it will be inconvenient for me to go in."

Not to mention the dignified Ningguo Mansion.

In any house or backyard, no random stranger can enter.

Women's families all live here.

As a young man, he entered, how could he act appropriately?

If the other party had other intentions, he could justifiably be arrested and beaten to death as long as he stepped into the small courtyard.

Whether he was lynched or reported to the police, he would be unlucky.

Dong Miaomiao quickly grabbed his broad sleeves and said: "Sir, you don't keep your words! You clearly promised us! You said that a gentleman's word will be followed by a whip!"

Before Luo Qingfeng could speak, Miss Dong Er, who was sitting in a wheelchair beside her, chuckled and said, "Mr. Luo, don't worry, the little girl has already sent someone to call the second brother. The second brother is in good health and just came out to have a meal." Let’s eat and relax.”

Then he said softly: "We won't go into the house. We will eat in the small courtyard. The maids and servants are all there."

Miss Dong Er was really smart, and she immediately understood his worries.

Moreover, we have already made preparations.

If there is Second Young Master Dong accompanying him, and if he is in the small courtyard, and there are maids and servants watching, then there will naturally be no problem.

Luo Qingfeng could only hold up his hands and said, "Then wait for the second young master here. The second young lady and the third young lady can go in first."

That second young master should be the one Sister Nightingale once said was suddenly ill and bedridden, and suspected to have been harmed by a demon, right?
  Just take the opportunity to get to know and observe.

This meal inevitably made him a little nervous.

After all, there are two suspects.

At the same time, another victim will appear.

The key is that he seems to be the only one facing it. Other demon slayers may want to come in, but they can't find a reason.

"Then let's wait here...together...together for the second brother."

Miss Dong Er said softly.

She didn't know what illness she was suffering from. After saying a few words, she became breathless and seemed to be out of breath.

Luo Qingfeng glanced at her pale face and thought to herself: If she were a demon, it would actually be reasonable. She has been in this state since she was a child. Who can guarantee that she will not suffer from mental illness? It would be easier for the devil to invade and use his emotions to cause trouble.

Soon.

Several servants surrounded a young man wearing a blue robe, tall, thin, handsome, but pale, and walked over from the path not far away.

The young man walked with sloppy steps, his eyes were dull and lifeless, and his face didn't look any color. He was walking slowly, but he was breathing heavily and looked extremely weak.

Second Miss Dong saw the person coming and introduced softly: "Mr. Luo, this is my second brother. His name is Dong Yun. You can call him whatever you want. Don't be too formal."

Before Dong Yun even came close, he raised his hands to Luo Qingfeng, who was wearing a Confucian robe, and said, "Is this the Mr. Luo that the second sister mentioned? Nice to meet you, nice to meet you."

Luo Qingfeng secretly said: This Second Young Master Dong is very polite and polite to others.

He also quickly raised his hands and said, "Luo Qingfeng has met the second young master."

Dong Yun came closer, held his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Luo, you're welcome. I heard that Miaomiao and the others only took one class with him, and they were impressed by Mr. Luo's teaching methods, and they all started to love learning. With Mr. Luo in my middle school, I won’t have to worry about those little guys thinking about skipping classes all day long, and I won’t have to worry about Mr. Luo anymore.”

Luo Qingfeng said: "It should be."

Dong Miaomiao said impatiently: "Okay, second brother, we have been waiting here for a long time. If you don't come, sir, you don't dare to go in. Let's go in quickly."

Dong Yun smiled and said: "Sir is a person who knows etiquette, but here, there is no need to be so formal. My third aunt is hospitable and invites you to dinner to express her gratitude. Dad also agrees."

Several people entered the small courtyard together.

In the middle of the courtyard, tables and chairs had already been set up, and the coffee table next to it was filled with fruits, desserts and some snacks.

Dong Miaomiao ran to get two red plum preserves, ate one herself, then came over and handed one to Luo Qingfeng, saying, "Try it, sir."

Luo Qingfeng took it and said, "Thank you very much."

Dong Yun smiled at the side and said: "I have never seen you be so attentive to others. When the second brother is here, I don't see you bringing him anything to eat."

Dong Miaomiao smiled and said: "Second brother can just take it by himself. This is my first time here. My husband has a thin skin. He might be too embarrassed to take it if he wants to eat it, so I took it for him."

As soon as these words came out, the maids on the side covered their mouths and smiled.

Dong Yun also smiled and said: "You are very considerate to your husband. I have never been so considerate and considerate to your father and mother."

At this time, a young woman in a purple dress came out of the house and said with a smile: "Yun'er is talking about this. This is the first time I have seen this girl so eager to please others. She has never treated her father or mother like this." Better off."

Dong Yun lowered his head and said, "I've met Third Aunt."

Luo Qingfeng also quickly bowed his head and said, "Qingfeng has met the third lady."

Fang Lanxiang smiled and said: "Mr. Luo, you're welcome. Sit down wherever you want. Let Yun'er and Xiang Xue chat with you for a while. I have to go to the kitchen to help."

Miss Dong Er said with a smile: "Third aunt cooks the food herself, we will have a good lunch at noon."

Fang Lanxiang smiled and went to the kitchen.

Several people sat down at the table, and the maid came over to pour tea.

Dong Miaomiao snatched the teapot and poured it for Luo Qingfeng herself. She smiled and said, "Sir, can you tell us another story about the stone monkey?"

At this time, Dong Xiaopang also came over quickly and said: "Sir, tell us secretly, but we won't tell anyone."

Luo Qingfeng said: "That won't work. I said I would teach it in the next class, so I will teach it in the next class."

Dong Miaomiao had no choice but to say: "Sir, can you tell us in advance how the Stone Monkey finally came out of Wuzhi Mountain? Did he learn powerful spells, or was he rescued by others? Or, the Buddha took the initiative to let him go. ?”

Luo Qingfeng shook his head and said: "Can't say, can't say."

Dong Miaomiao immediately pouted her little mouth, pulled his sleeves, and when she was still entangled, Miss Dong Er on the side smiled and said: "Okay Miaomiao, sir hasn't eaten yet, don't scare him away."

Dong Miaomiao had no choice but to let go and pouted: "Sir, you are stingy."

Then he suddenly leaned into Luo Qingfeng's ear and whispered: "Sir, if you are not stingy, I will let you peek at your feet later, okay?"

The corner of Luo Qingfeng's mouth twitched, and she quickly coughed, turning her head away and saying, "Third Miss, men and women are not close to each other, so we can't be so close."

Dong Miaomiao snorted and said, "Stingy guy!"

After saying that, he turned around and left, no longer paying attention to him.

Dong Yun on the side smiled and said: "Mr. Luo, don't worry, Miao Miao has had this temper since she was a child. She is still a child, a little more unruly and willful, and her father has always doted on her. It will be better when she grows up."

Dong Miaomiao was jumping around and kicking the shuttlecock. Hearing this, he turned around and said, "I'm not young anymore. I'm just one year younger than that guy Dong Yaozu."

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Dong Yun's face suddenly froze.

Miss Dong Er on the side also frowned slightly.

The atmosphere in the venue seemed to freeze briefly.

Luo Qingfeng keenly caught this change and thought to himself: Dong Yaozu is the lame son of the fourth wife. It is said that he accidentally injured his leg while playing with the second young master when he was a child. During the past two days of class, the Fourth Young Master has not been here. He is probably not very gregarious because of his lameness, and his relationship with these people is not very good. However, why did Dong Miaomiao suddenly mention the Fourth Young Master?

Is it intentional? Or was it unintentional?

Also, the faces of Mr. Dong and Miss Dong seemed to have changed after hearing these words.

At this moment, Luo Qingfeng had many questions in her mind.

But in front of so many people, it was difficult to ask.

He was thinking secretly: Should he find an opportunity to talk to this little girl alone and ask about the specific situation?
  But in the captain's view, this little girl is also one of the suspects.

Besides, the small footprints under the window that night did look somewhat similar.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the little feet under Miss Dong San's skirt again, and secretly said: If it was really her that night, what was her purpose? Why go there in the middle of the night? It can't be to listen to stories, right?
  While thinking like this, Dong Miaomiao suddenly said: "By the way, I heard that guy Dong Yaozu was caught in trouble by a maid a few days ago. Hehe, he deserves it!"

As soon as these words came out, Luo Qingfeng was shocked again.

Dong Yun said quickly: "Miao Miao, don't say this nonsense. It's all nonsense made by servants. How can this happen? Which maid has such courage to arrest him?"

Dong Miaomiao stood on one foot and stopped the flying shuttlecock on one of her little feet. She turned her head and snorted coldly: "He is frivolous with other people's little maids. If other people's little maids don't obey, they will naturally scratch his face. Hum, listen. It was said that the little maid was beaten to pieces by the Fourth Aunt, almost to death, and then she was driven out of the house."

Miss Dong Er frowned slightly and said nothing.

Dong Yun lowered his face and said: "Miao Miao, stop talking. Dad has already explained this matter, so we don't want to discuss it anymore. It's just a servant talking nonsense, and it can't be taken seriously."

Dong Miaomiao snorted, continued to kick the shuttlecock, and said crisply: "You are just afraid of making your family ugly, and you don't want your husband to know about it. I'm not afraid. Facts are facts, if they are, they are not, and if they are not, they are not. I dare to do it to anyone. explain."

Dong Yun was afraid that he would talk nonsense again, so he quickly said: "Go to the kitchen quickly and help your mother do something."

Dong Miaomiao jumped slightly, put away the shuttlecock, and said with a smile: "I won't go. My hands are so beautiful, but I am not for menial work. Why doesn't the second brother let the second sister go?"

Dong Yun rolled his eyes at her and said, "Nonsense, your second sister can do things?"

Dong Miaomiao smiled and said: "The second brother still feels sorry for the second sister. He has felt sorry for the second sister since he was a child. He helps the second sister do everything well in advance."

Dong Yun said angrily: "If you are in a wheelchair, my second brother will also feel sorry for you."

Dong Miaomiao immediately put her hands on Xiaoman's waist and said, "Second brother, are you cursing me?"

Dong Yun said: "I don't dare. My second brother doesn't dare to beat anyone. The key is that he can't win."

Dong Miaomiao smiled and said: "Speaking of beatings, of course my second brother can't beat me. I am in the house, but I have no rival in the whole house!"

The two brothers and sisters were chatting. Luo Qingfeng pretended to be drinking tea and looking at the flower scenery in the corner of the small courtyard, but in fact he remembered everything in his ears. Occasionally he would observe Miss Dong Er who was standing aside.

These conversations seemed like casual chats, but he felt that there should be a lot of useful information.

Although Dong Miaomiao is young and looks unreliable, she seems to know a lot of things. She even knows about the Fourth Madam. It seems that she really needs to find a way to talk to her alone and find out from her. There's some news.

Regardless of whether she is suspected or not, some of the things she said are at least traceable and do not seem to be false.

Just as he was thinking this, Miss Dong Er on the side asked softly: "Where is Mr. Luo from?"

The second young lady was probably afraid of neglecting him, so she deliberately found some topics to talk to him about.

Luo Qingfeng said: "I am from Wangxing County. I originally lived in a small mountain village outside the city."

Miss Dong Er was a little surprised and said, "Where did Mr. Luo learn this talent?"

Luo Qingfeng said modestly: "I can't say that I am talented, just a little bit educated. Read more and think more, that's all."

Miss Dong Er smiled and said: "That's not necessarily true. Many people have been reading books all their lives, just like those teachers in the past, but their real abilities are as different as clouds and mud compared to their teachers."

Luo Qingfeng said: "Second Miss is so complimentary."

Miss Dong Er asked again: "Sir is so young and has such ability. I think he will take the scientific examination next year and pass the high school. I hope that although there are many talented people in Star City, there should be few like him. By then, sir It will definitely be a hit.”

Luo Qingfeng cupped his hands and said: "By the good wishes of the second lady, if I really go to high school then, I will definitely come over to thank the second lady."

Miss Dong Er smiled and said: "Thank you, sir. Don't look down on our Ningguo Mansion at that time, don't ignore us, the little girl will be very grateful."

At this time, Dong Miaomiao hurriedly came over and asked: "Sir, you won't leave here by then, will you? If the school doesn't have you, we won't study anymore."

Just when Luo Qingfeng didn't know how to answer, Dong Yun on the side suddenly asked: "Is Mr. Luo married?"

Luo Qingfeng was silent for a moment and said: "Not yet."

Dong Yun and Miss Dong Er looked at each other and said with a smile: "It just so happens that I have a sister who is old enough and not yet married. Coincidentally, she also likes to read. She..."

Dong Miaomiao on the side suddenly blushed and stamped her feet shyly: "Second brother, I don't like studying! I...I'm not old enough yet."

Everyone paused and looked at her.

Miss Dong Er couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing.

Dong Yun looked strange and said: "Miaomiao, who is talking about you? The second brother is talking about your cousin Tiantian. You don't know how to..."

"Ah! Mom called me in the kitchen!"

Dong Miaomiao suddenly exclaimed, covered her blushing face, turned around and ran away.

The maids and servants on the side all covered their mouths and snickered.

Dong Yun cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Luo, if you have time in the afternoon, I will take you to meet my cousin, and you can have a chat."

Luo Qingfeng lowered his head slightly and said, "Thank you very much, Second Young Master, but I already have a girl I like."

When Dong Yun heard this, he still had a smile on his face: "It doesn't matter, you guys can meet, talk and get to know each other first. It's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines."

Then he smiled bitterly and said, "It would be great if I can continue the family lineage."

Miss Dong Er lowered her head slightly and said no more.

Soon.

The third lady, Fang Lanxiang, and her maids came out of the round door carrying sumptuous dishes.

Dong Miaomiao blushed, lowered her head, and hid in the back.

The table was quickly filled with dishes.

All kinds of fish, shrimp, meat, vegetables, everything.

The maids and servants standing around all swallowed quietly.

Luo Qingfeng's stomach rumbled when he smelled the tempting fragrance.

When Fang Lanxiang heard this, she immediately smiled and said, "Okay, let's eat. You're welcome. There's no one else."

Then he turned around and said strangely: "Miaomiao, why are you hiding behind the maid? Didn't you say you were hungry just now? Come and eat."

Dong Xiaopang, who had already sat down next to him, suddenly laughed and said: "Mother, just now the second brother said that he wanted to introduce a sister to the husband. My sister thought...ah——"

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, the stool under his butt suddenly flew out.

He fell to the ground, grinning in pain and wailing.

Dong Miaomiao stood behind him, her pretty face slightly cold, but full of blush, even her two little ears were red.

"If you dare to talk any more, your ass will be kicked to pieces! Hmph!"

Luo Qingfeng's heart was slightly chilled.

The little girl's kick just now was so fast that he didn't even react.

And at the beginning, she was clearly standing several meters away.
