"I don't want this." Qing Fuhou continued to retreat.

Lu Zhaoling smiled.

How could you not want it?

"Qingbao, send the carriage up to the Marquis," she said.

Qing Bao's eyes rolled and she responded briskly, "Yes! I'll put it away for you, sir!"

After saying that, she turned around and rushed out of the gate like a gust of wind, heading straight for Qing Fuhou's carriage.

"No, no! I really don't want it! Take it back and don't let my carriage get on it!" Marquis Qingfu's face changed.

Although nothing had happened to the three families because of the lanterns he sent, he didn't dare to take the risk!

Now it is said that nothing happened, but maybe something happened but it has not been made public yet? For example, who knows whether Mrs. Lu who was worshipping Buddha was really worshipping Buddha or was sick?

For example, Mr. He’s family, Mrs. He and Miss He have been quiet these days. Who knows if they are seriously ill and cannot get up?

For example, the Prince of Jin, who knows if there were a few maids and servants who died in the palace? Maybe the Nanny Qing, whom the Prince of Jin respected very much, died.

So, anything is possible.

He definitely can’t touch the little handball made of the lantern cover!

"Lu Zhaoling! What on earth are you going to do?"

Marquis Qingfu glared at Lu Zhaoling.

Could it be that she knew that the lantern was strange and was deliberately taking revenge? That shouldn't be the case. What could a little girl who grew up in the countryside know?

Aunt Yao was watching from the side and also felt strange.

Why did the Second Miss give Qing Fuhou such a gift? Why did Qing Fuhou react so strongly?

His face turned pale with fright. Is it really that serious?

It's just some little thing made of a white lantern cover. Could it be that Marquis Qingfu is very averse to the color white?

Aunt Yao glanced at Qing Fuhou's white robe and shook off the absurd speculation in her mind. How could this be called a taboo on white?

"Why are you being so polite, Lord? It's just a matter of reciprocity. You gave the Liu family an expensive thousand-craft lantern, but my Lu family is poor and we don't have anything to give in return. Fortunately, my craftsmanship is not bad. I'm willing to use your gift to make a little more of it as a token of my appreciation. You can't despise me."

Lu Zhaoling looked at Qing Fuhou with a smile.

Qingbao has returned.

"Miss, it has been put away for the Marquis."

"That's fine."

"Did you really put it on my carriage? Where did you put it?" Qing Fuhou ran out with a pale face and kicked the coachman, "Idiot, where is the thing?"

The coachman was squatting by the wall, and before he could react, Qingbao jumped into the carriage and got in. Just as he stood up to take a closer look, Qingbao came out again.

"My Lord, I didn't make it in time..."

"Hurry up and get the things in the carriage!" Qing Fuhou didn't dare to shout loudly, so he could only grit his teeth and lower his voice to let the coachman go in and find the things.

"Oh, I'll go right away."

The driver got on the carriage and turned back to ask, "My Lord, what is that?"

what?

Marquis Qingfu turned his head and saw that the door of Lu Mansion was closed.

The door is closed!

He was really pissed off.

Are you lying to him, or are you sure he won't find what he wants?

For a moment, Qing Fuhou felt as if his heart was being torn apart by a cat's claws.

"It's a big sachet or a small cloth bag, with a round ball inside."

He didn't see it clearly just now, and he wasn't sure whether there was a small handball in the small cloth bag.

The driver went in and searched but couldn't find it.

"Really? Look carefully again!"

The driver had no choice but to go back to the carriage to look for it. He searched very carefully, but Qing Fuhou was still outside, reminding him, "Look under the small table!"

"Turn over the mat and take a look!"

“Are you caught in the gap?”

The driver searched twice, sweating profusely, but still couldn't find it.

At this time, the sky was covered with dark clouds, the wind became stronger, and the sky darkened very quickly.

"My Lord, I didn't find it. Could it be that I didn't put it in at all?"

The driver glanced at the sky. The leaves on the street were rustling and the dust was a bit blinding. The pedestrians and vendors in front of him all started running.

"My lord, it's going to rain heavily. Let's get on the carriage and go back home quickly," said the coachman.

"I won't get on the carriage until I find what I want!"

Qing Fuhou cried out, and looking at the carriage, he felt as if he was looking at a coffin, as if he would die as soon as he got on it.

"My lord, we can't get wet in the rain here, can we?" The coachman was confused.

He didn't know what had happened, he just felt that Qing Fuhou was very strange.

Even if the maid had really hidden a small ball, what would it matter? It wasn't a firecracker, could it blow up the Marquis?

"Look for it carefully again!" Qing Fuhou was so angry that he jumped up and down.

"Otherwise, the Marquis can get on the carriage and look for it himself. He won't be afraid of the rain." The coachman really didn't understand. Couldn't the Marquis get on the carriage and look for it himself?

The Marquis was somewhat familiar with this carriage, but he was not aware of some secret drawers inside.

But the coachman felt that the maidservant might not have hidden anything at all. After all, where could she hide the things in such a short time?

If it had been left randomly, he would have found it long ago.

As the sky gets darker, I can foresee that it will be a sudden and sudden rainstorm, which may hurt even if it hits my face.

"I'll call Lu Zhaoling out to take the things back!"

Qing Fuhou gritted his teeth and turned around to knock on the door.

"Lu Zhaoling! Come out!"

But he knocked for a long time, but the door of Lu Mansion didn't open. When he was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, someone inside said something -

"My Lord, if you continue to make a fuss, it will be bad if it gets to the ears of King Jin."

King of Jin.

Qing Fuhou shuddered.

If it weren't for the King of Jin, would he have paid a hundred thousand taels? It was the King of Jin who pushed the Emperor to take this step.

The raindrops fell down with a patter.

The wind was strong and the rain was heavy, making the horses feel uneasy.

"My Lord, please get in the carriage!"

Qing Fuhou gritted his teeth and quickly got on the carriage.

The sudden raindrops hitting the carriage made him feel tense.

It shouldn't matter if it's just for a while. Qing Fuhou thought so and kept looking for the little handball along the way.

But he couldn't find it.

When the carriage was about to reach the mansion, it was already so dark that it was almost impossible to see anything, and there were no pedestrians on the street. Suddenly, there was a flash of lightning in the sky, silvery white like a long snake, and it instantly illuminated the sky and the earth with a strange white.

Then there was a thunder explosion.

"Hey!"

The horse was startled and rushed forward.

"what!"

The coachman couldn't stop the horse and had to watch it rush straight towards the gate of the marquis's mansion.

Bang.

The carriage shook violently, causing Qing Fuhou to crash out headfirst. The curtain could not stop him, and he fell to the ground with a thud, hitting his forehead.

"Master Hou!"

In the heavy rain, the marquis's mansion was in chaos.

Such a heavy rain makes it impossible for people to go out and they have to stay at home and relax.

The next day, when the weather was fine, the news that Qing Fuhou's carriage crashed into the house and Qing Fuhou fell off the carriage and fainted was directly reported in the Beijing News.
