Chapter 229 Asking for trouble
"It's okay, your sisters were disturbed by a snake." Mrs. Tongzhi replied.
When they heard about the snake, several young people were eager to catch the snake and avenge the ladies.
Among them, the most enthusiastic person was Lu Yuhong: "Snake soup is delicious. When you catch it, you will make it into snake soup!" It
was Lu Yuhong who said this. If it had been anyone else, it might have caused a burst of laughter from everyone.
But Lu Yuhong was different. His status was different and much higher than the status of everyone else present.
Lu Yuhong was not a student of Anzhou College. Today, he got up and took the initiative to travel with the students of Anzhou College.
In this regard, everyone at Anzhou College was very careful to accompany him, for fear of causing him displeasure.
When Lu Yuhong was talking, his eyes fell on Wei Ruo on the other side of the fence.
Feeling Lu Yuhong's gaze, Wei Ruo knew that the greedy Mr. Lu family had already set his sights on her.
Wei Ruo didn't believe that this matter was really about a snake, and the reactions of Xu Yaojun and Wei Qingwan were not quite right.
It's just that these two people concealed the truth of the matter for their own purposes.
Then I saw several young masters excitedly going out and looking around the courtyard.
Even if you can't find the snake, cleaning up the surrounding area will make the women who are out for an outing feel more at ease today.
Wei Qingwan also sat back to her original position.
Wei Ruo was still drinking tea and eating cakes leisurely, and did not try to expose Wei Qingwan's lie just now.
On the contrary, Wei Qingwan herself didn't know whether she had a guilty conscience or something, but she kept looking at Wei Ruo, feeling that Wei Ruo's expression seemed to know something.
When Mrs. Yun got up and went to talk to Mrs. Tongzhi and the others, Wei Qingwan took the initiative to ask Wei Ruo: "Sister, don't you believe I met a snake?"
Wei Ruo paused for a moment, and then the corners of her mouth couldn't help but raise: "If you encountered a snake, why didn't you run out together, but they came out first, and you were so much later than them." She didn't want to deliberately expose Wei
Qingwan What, it’s just that she insisted on asking her, so she had no choice but to say it clearly.
"I'm timid. I was frightened when I saw a snake. My legs were weak and I couldn't walk." Wei Qingwan explained.
"What happened to your sleeve? When did it get torn?" Wei Ruo asked.
"This..." Wei Qingwan glanced at the position of her arm and explained, "It was scratched by a branch in the peach forest." "It turned out to be a
branch. I thought you met a bad guy inside and broke it. , and then she was saved by a hero." Wei Ruo answered with a smile.
Hearing this, Wei Qingwan's face turned pale, and a look of panic flashed in her eyes.
Wei Ruo was just guessing at first, because in the original plot, Wei Qingwan was rescued once by the hero of Chu Lan as early as in Fahua Temple, and the initiator of that time was her, a cannon fodder female supporting character with no brains.
But seeing Wei Qingwan's reaction, he knew that he had guessed almost everything.
"Sister, you can't say such nonsense, it will damage your reputation." Wei Qingwan said with a serious expression, pretending to be calm.
"Isn't that great? Isn't this what you asked me just now? I didn't say a word at first." Wei Ruo said with a chuckle.
Seeing Wei Ruo's smile, Wei Qingwan turned pale and bit her lower lip.
Wei Ruo was too lazy to talk to her. The only thing that made her slightly curious about today's incident was that she didn't know which hero was the hero who saved Wei Qingwan's beauty.
Is he one of the students from Anzhou College who is resting next door?

Lu Yuhong, Xu Fengyuan, Wei Yichen and several other students from Anzhou College searched around the small courtyard of the Xu family, and they actually caught a snake. Although they are all students, riding and shooting are their daily homework, so catching a snake together is not a problem.
Especially one of them, Lu Yuhong, was very skilled.
But few people knew what kind of snake it was and whether it was poisonous.
The question that Lu Yuhong is concerned about is whether this snake can be used to make delicious food.
While he was thinking about it, Lu Yuhong saw a man wearing a navy blue brocade suit and a bamboo hat. He immediately ignored the snake in his hand and said goodbye to Xu Fengyuan and others.
Lu Yuhong ran to the man: "Your Highness Seventh, why are you here?"
Lu Yuhong came to Taizhou Mansion because of Chu Lan. After meeting Chu Lan, he not only wanted to be his bodyguard to protect his safety, but also to avoid his grandfather. Discipline him.
The weather was nice today, and when he learned that the students from Anzhou Academy were going out to play, he left Chu Lan and went out to play by himself.
He thought Chu Lan didn't want to go out, so he was surprised when he saw him here.
"Something." Chu Lan replied.
"Oh, then you should be careful. The identity of the group of people who hurt you has not yet been found out. I'm afraid they will continue to harm you." Lu Yuhong warned.
"Yeah. I'm fine." Chu Lan looked in the direction of the courtyard.
Lu Yuhong saw it and asked, "What are you looking at?"
"Nothing." Chu Lan replied.
"Do you want to stay and have a meal with us?" Lu Yuhong asked again.
"No, I have some things to do and I have to go to the north of the city." Chu Lan declined.
"Are you going to find that person named Xu again?" Lu Yuhong asked.
Hearing this, Chu Lan did not deny it, but acquiesced.
Lu Yuhong said: "He saved your life, so you should go and express your gratitude. However, judging from what happened last time when you went to see him, you will probably be kicked out this time." Lu Yuhong was not very happy either
. I understand why a farm owner with excellent medical skills is so hostile to officials. I wonder if someone in his family has been harmed by officials.
"What he encountered before has nothing to do with me. I only know that he saved my life, and we got along very happily before. I regard him as my close friend." Chu Lan said.
After Chu Lan finished speaking, he ignored the curious Lu Yuhong and rode towards the north of the city.
The followers behind him also rode up to follow.
Lu Yuhong shook his head and sighed: "I really don't understand him. For a man to act like this, he would think that his savior is a beautiful lady! Although the favor of saving his life is heavy, people don't like to interact with him. Give him more money. Isn't that good?"
###
At noon, everyone had a meal together in the courtyard. Mrs. Tongzhi specially invited the cook to carefully prepare today's meal.
In particular, the ingredients used in several wild vegetables - cold malan head, stir-fried shepherd's purse and dried and fragrant cress - were freshly picked from nearby.
Wei Ruo also ate with relish.
In addition, Mrs. Tongzhi also specially invited people to buy some dishes from Zuixianju. The dishes in Zuixianju are special and cannot be found anywhere else. They are delicious and perfect for entertaining guests.
