The Queen of Romance: A Summer of Sweet Classics

Chapter 318

Lu Ming heard about Poppy being punished that afternoon.

He was stunned for a while after hearing this, and then asked his subordinate, "Does Poppy really recognize it?"

"Yes. According to Miss Lizhi, Miss Poppy should fly to Southwest in the early morning of Sunday, and then fly back to City C in the early morning of Monday. During the period, the terrain was touched and Miss Aliang was threatened. The timing was just right. Redundancy didn't delay at all."

"The young master said to punish the poppy confinement room, nothing else?"

"Yes."

"It's nothing new to go back and forth." Lu Ming muttered, and then said, "Then it should be fine. You can't die from starvation. Just wait. Tomorrow night at the latest, it will definitely be released."

The subordinate hesitated to speak: "But... I heard that Miss Poppy had a fever in the confinement room this time, and she passed out just now, but someone reported it to the young master, but the young master didn't even ask a doctor to treat her..."

Lu Ming was taken aback for a moment, then stood up abruptly: "Are you serious?"

"It's absolutely true." The subordinate said, "Miss Poppy could tell that she was catching a cold before she was put in confinement, and then she collapsed on the ground after kneeling for a long time. Someone went to ask for instructions, and the young master said four words after listening, follow the rules. "

"...Is it really annoying this time? Do you really want to make a death or disability?" Lu Ming stood there for a while, and murmured, "Could it be that Poppy helped me as rarely as the iron tree bloomed two days ago? , just to let me say a few words for her today?"

If it was in the past, Lu Ming would never go to this muddy water.However, this time he pondered for a long time in the office, and when the evening approached, he covered his face with his hands, let out a long sigh, and went to the ancestral house of the Chu family.

When Lu Ming entered the study, Chu Xing was doing ink painting with his wrist hanging.The movements were unhurried, and it didn't look like he was still angry.Lu Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and heard Chu Xing said without raising his head: "What's the matter?"

Lu Ming casually found an excuse: "Someone mistakenly entrusted me with the affairs that should be handled by Miss Poppy. I didn't dare to exceed my authority, and I couldn't find her when I called. I thought she would be here in your study."

Chu Xing simply ignored his poor excuse.He raised his eyelids and glanced over: "Talk about your point."

Lu Ming's heart tightened, and he still insisted on saying: "Miss Poppy has been with you for ten years after all, and she is a girl who has never suffered anything. In a cold and humid place like a confinement room, normal people don't eat or drink. It's okay for one night, let her kneel there with a fever, and I heard that she has fainted, if she accidentally turns into pneumonia or something..."

Chu Xing interrupted him lightly: "It seems that Poppy has been studying with you for two days, and the relationship between you two is not slow. In less than two days, it doesn't count if she begged you once, and you are in a hurry to reciprocate."

"..."

Lu Ming's scalp became tense, and alarm bells rang out in his heart.Chu Xing put the brush back into the pen holder, and said without emotion: "Do you want to beg for mercy? That's okay too. Let her go back, and you go to the confinement room and kneel for her."

"..."

If he lent Lu Ming ten guts, Lu Ming would never dare to agree to this kind of exchange.It's not a matter of willingness or unwillingness, but of ability.If he really agreed, then he had nothing to do with Poppy in the first place, and the next day, there might be a lot of rumors about how to keep talking.At that time, Lu Ming would not only jump into the Yellow River to clean himself up, but he might also be forced by Chu Xing to commit suicide.

In the end, Lu Ming could only walk out of the study with nothing.Just happened to run into the butler who was about to go in with supper, the other party winked, Lu Ming walked over and asked in a low voice, "How is it going?"

"I was sleeping on the ground, but just now Miss Li Zhi went over and woke me up, and she sneered at me. As soon as Miss Li Zhi walked away, the person vomited on the back foot. Now that it's been cleaned up, I'm still kneeling."

Lu Ming frowned and said, "How long do you have to kneel?"

The butler sighed slightly, and lowered his voice: "Miss Poppy has been used to getting revenge all these years, but this is what the young master dislikes the most. Let's forget about the previous things, but this time I have tried my best to drive people crazy." In the young master's eyes, it is more ruthless than killing people directly. Afterwards, when the young master repeatedly asked for confirmation, Miss Poppy refused to admit it. But when the order of thorough investigation was issued, it was found out that the culprit was really her in front of everyone. How could the young master Can you not be angry? Miss Poppy has broken all the taboos that can be committed this time, no matter how much Mr. Du pleads for mercy, the young master will not be able to calm down now."

Lu Ming's eyes were straightened, and he said for a while, "...then what should I do?"

"The young master doesn't ask anyone to report Miss Poppy's situation at all." The housekeeper waved his hand, and put his chin into the snack on the tray, "I didn't take a bite of dinner today. These things are probably going to die tomorrow morning."

The butler entered the study and put the snack on the corner of the table.Chu Xing didn't even look at it, but only ordered: "Remove the Tibetan incense and replace it with agarwood."

The butler paused for a moment before leaving.After a while, he came back, took off the Tibetan incense, extinguished it in the incense ashes, and lit the agarwood again.When he was silently closing the study door from the outside, Chu Xing suddenly dropped the brush in his hand, exhaled slowly, and said in a calm voice: "Forget it. I'm not used to smelling agarwood. It's better to change back to Tibetan incense."

The butler said nothing.He only lowered his eyes and went forward again, replaced the agarwood, and lit the Tibetan incense again.

Many years ago, the burning book in Chu Xing's study was always agarwood.

Until later, someone occasionally gave him Tibetan incense, saying that it can eliminate filth, ward off evil spirits, kill bacteria and calm the mind. Tibetan people use it not only for celebrations and sacrifices, but also for daily life.Chu Xing had no desire to explore new things, and after taking a look at them, he just said "um" casually, but Poppy was very interested, so he came over and ordered one on the spot.Before the thin smoke dissipated, Chu Xing frowned: "The smell is too strong. It doesn't smell good."

But Poppy didn't listen to him, and used her hand to blow the fragrance in front of the guests.After taking a long breath and taking a deep breath, he turned his head and said to Chu Xing: "I think it smells good. It smells much better than the agarwood in your study."

The guest laughed out loud, and Chu Xing dragged her back to the sofa with a sullen face, pressing her hands and feet like a dignified lady: "Sit down."

Poppy pursed her mouth, sat quietly for not more than 2 minutes, and couldn't help but stick to his side, put the Tibetan incense under his nose, and sincerely suggested: "You smell it again."

"No smell."

"It smells good."

"It doesn't smell good at all. It's because you are a pig, and you think everything smells good." Chu Xing had a sullen face, but when he saw her courteous and flattering appearance, he finally couldn't help laughing and pinched her. Cheeky, while teasing, "Other people eat five big pieces of chocolate in one night, and they will definitely vomit when they smell the chocolate the next day. How can there be a starving ghost reincarnated like you? Hearing that there are chocolates, he immediately gets out of bed." Get up and say you're not sleepy?"

The butler still remembered that although Young Master Chu didn't like it, he couldn't hold Poppy up and down in all kinds of tricks.Poppy was not very scheming at that time, but she already had a lot of ghost ideas. Every morning when she got up early, she hid the agarwood, and put the hidden incense in the censer in the study.

At that time, Chu Xing was the most conniving, even if it was a lesson, he only scolded with a smile, and did not really pursue it.Poppy insisted, and Chu Xing let her go.After a long time, I gradually got used to it.Later, at some unknown time, when Steward Zhou changed the incense burner every day, the agarwood in his hand was replaced with a stick of Tibetan incense.

The relationship between the two was so simple back then.Holding a small vase with both hands can make two people sit together and spend most of the day.Dependence is a natural dependence, and indulgence is a natural indulgence.

Where is it like now.I don't know how far I can go, and it is impossible to go back to the past.

Poppy knelt until noon the next day.

She passed out twice and woke up twice.The first time was because she was kicked twice by Li Zhi, and the second time was because someone couldn't bear it, and secretly pushed her awake to give her a drink, but the water was quickly snatched away: "You don't want to die! If the young master forbids her to eat and drink, you will return it, in case the young master finds out, can you, a young man, be able to handle it?"

Poppy's lips were parched from the burn.The whole person was shaky, and his face was expressionless.Close your eyes as if you didn't hear anything.After a while, the water still couldn't be handed to her.The confinement room was extraordinarily quiet, Poppy was shivering from the cold, and only his own heavy breathing could be heard amidst the sharp tinnitus. He felt that he was going to pass out again, and wanted to pinch his palms to stay awake, but his whole body was soft, and even his thumb felt as if he had used his whole body to touch the palm of his hand. strength.

Poppy had never felt so sick since she was born.Time seems to be as gentle and slow as the steps of an old man.I don't know how long it took before the door of the confinement room was opened again, and a figure rushed in. Poppy felt that her eyes were suddenly filled with sapphire blue, she was embraced by someone, her forehead was touched, and then someone lost her voice : "Why is it burning so badly!"

Poppy was so sleepy that she couldn't keep her eyes open, and her throat was burned hard.After a long while, a faint rustling voice came out: "Sister, I feel so uncomfortable."

Jiang Mian hugged her even tighter, looked up at the slender figure standing quietly at the door, and said seriously: "Master Chu, I want to take Su Pu to the hospital."

Chu Xing watched Poppy limp in Jiang Mian's arms, and his fingertips moved slightly.Seeing that he was silent, Jiang Mian emphasized her tone: "Master Chu, Su Pu can no longer kneel down. I must take her to the hospital immediately."

Chu Xing ignored her, and said coldly to Poppy: "Have you figured it out this day?"

The surrounding area was so quiet that the sound of needles dropping could be heard.Poppy reluctantly opened her eyes and gave a low "hmm".

"Admit your mistake or not?"

Poppy suddenly bent her lips slightly, as if smiling silently.She raised her head, looked directly at Chu Xing, and said coldly, "I don't recognize it."
