"It's just a routine search, sister-in-law, don't worry." Lu Ting asked, "By the way, where is Little Thirteen?"
"She's already asleep."
"So early?"
Lu Ting frowned, a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes.
Normally this time was not her time to sleep.
"Maybe I said a few words to her during the day and she was a little angry, so..." Mrs. Xin sighed.
Lu Ting's eyes flickered, "I'll go see her."
"Go ahead."
Lu Ting soon arrived at Lu Qingqing's courtyard, only to see that the door to the courtyard was closed and there was no one in the courtyard.
"Where is the serving maid?" Lu Ting asked.
Soon, several maids hurried over, saw him, and hurriedly saluted.
"What's going on? Why don't you serve in the hospital?"
"This... the lady did not allow us to serve in the hospital. In the evening, she said we were not feeling well and sent us all out."
"Not feeling well?"
"yes……"
"Have you invited a medical officer?"
"No, the lady said it was just a minor problem, so she didn't call a medical doctor."
Lu Ting became more and more suspicious and walked in.
When he came to Lu Qingqing's room, he knocked on the door and asked, "Xiao Shisan, are you asleep?"
There was no sound in the house.
"Little Thirteen?"
Still no sound.
Just when Lu Ting was about to open the door and enter, suddenly there was the sound of something hitting the ground, and then Lu Qingqing's voice said, "I'm here, what's wrong, Uncle Jiu?"
"What's going on in your house?"
"Oh, I accidentally kicked the stool..."
"What are you doing?"
"I……"
There was something wrong with the sound inside. Lu Ting didn't hesitate this time and pushed the door open directly!
The first thing you see is a messy room.
The table and chairs fell to the ground, and there was still a black mark on the blanket. There was also the sound of water flowing from behind...
"Uncle Jiu, why did you come in without my permission..."
"What are you doing?"
Seeing Lu Qingqing's panicked look, Lu Ting's frown deepened.
"I-I'm taking a shower!"
"It's late at night?"
"Yes, yes!"
"I remember that you don't have the habit of taking a bath at this hour..."
Lu Ting's eyes were sharp.
"I, I just accidentally spilled the ink, so I decided to take a bath on the spur of the moment. Is there any problem?"
Lu Ting's eyes fell on the carpet, and there was indeed a pool of ink marks on it.
However, Xiao Shisan's behavior is indeed a bit strange.
Suddenly he lifted his legs and walked towards the back, Lu Qingqing was startled.
"Uncle Jiu, what are you doing?" Lu Qingqing wanted to stop Lu Ting, but with her skills, how could she possibly stop him?
Lu Ting soon walked around the screen and saw water stains on the floor and clothes thrown on the ground.
"What are you burning?"
There is a strong fragrance in the air.
Lu Ting noticed it immediately after entering the room.
"It's lily incense. It has the effect of clearing the mind and calming the mind. I haven't been sleeping well recently, so I asked the doctor for it."
Lu Qingqing sighed, looking a little annoyed.
"It turned out that I accidentally lit my clothes. In panic, I knocked over the inkstone again, so..."
No wonder she takes a shower so late.
Lu Ting breathed a sigh of relief, and his suspicion gradually faded away.
"Sister-in-law said you should take a rest."
"I originally planned to go to sleep, but I couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, so I got up again." Lu Qingqing said helplessly, "The result is like this..."
"Be careful next time and ask your maid if you need anything."
"They are too wordy, I don't want them!"
Lu Qingqing's tone was arrogant, as if she had returned to the arrogant young lady she used to be.
"You want to worry us again? Obey me."
"……All right."
Seeing her obediently respond, Lu Ting's eyes softened slightly.
At this time, footsteps were heard outside, and it was the Silver Armored Guard who was searching here.
Lu Ting looked outside, so he didn't see Lu Qingqing's body stiffen for a moment, but he soon relaxed again.
"Uncle Jiu, what happened outside? There seem to be a lot of people?"
"Well, there is indeed something...but it's not a big deal, don't worry."
"oh."
"You go into the inner room."
Lu Qingqing obediently walked in, while Lu Ting walked out of the yard.
"Captain Lu."
The soldiers were somewhat polite to him.
"This is the inner house, and the women inside are the family members. There should be no need to search, right?"
"This... I hope Captain Lu will forgive me, we are just following orders."
Lu Ting knew that the other party was indeed responsible, so he took a step back and said, "For Lu's sake, please don't scare the women at home."
"nature."
The man waved, and the soldiers quickly filed in behind him and began to search the room.
But naturally he took action a little more lightly.
Lu Qingqing, who was in the room, was listening to the noise outside, holding the handkerchief slightly hard, and her heart couldn't help but lift.
Because she was in the inner room, the silver-armored guard couldn't do anything too much, so he probably just went through the motions and then left.
"It's okay. Thank you Captain Lu for your cooperation."
"Yes, I'll give you a few."
Lu Ting breathed a sigh of relief after sending the person out of the house.
Lu Qingqing, who was in the room, also collapsed instantly after the soldiers left.
She dismissed the maid, closed the door, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly enough and lit the incense, so that the smell of her burning clothes was masked.
At this time, black mist appeared in the void.
"Tomorrow is the alliance meeting, you'd better think carefully about how to complete the task I gave you!"
"Now that things are like this, what else can I do? It's not like you didn't see it just now. With so many silver-armored guards, that bitch must have been on guard. If I take action again, I will definitely be exposed!"
Lu Qingqing backed down.
Suddenly, the black mist suddenly hit her, scaring her so much that she almost fell down!
A woman's ferocious face gradually appeared in front of her eyes, "Are you bargaining with me?"
"I……"
"Don't forget, I can support you, but I can also step you into the ground at any time! Do you want to try?"
The sinister tone and the evil aura that hit her face made Lu Qingqing turn pale again.
"I, I didn't mean that... I will finish it, don't worry."
"That's best."
The woman sneered and stepped away. Only then did Lu Qingqing feel the pressure surrounding her body dissipate.
Lu Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked tremblingly, "But... what should we do? They are already prepared, and I think some kind of forbidden magic must have been cast on the soldiers. Otherwise, how could they do it tonight?"
Will it suddenly spontaneously combust?"
"It seems you're not that stupid! That must be the fault of that woman Ling Xuewei?"
"It's her?!"
"It is reported that most of the soldiers and secret guards in the Eastern Region will have a blood-red mark on their wrists. This should be left by some kind of curse mark..."
Suddenly the voice paused, as if he thought of something.
She had vaguely heard rumors that if a warrior from the Eastern Region betrayed that woman or made an act of betrayal, he would suffer the backlash of the curse seal and be wiped out.
