Li Ying stretched out her leg and kicked Yu Ren. "You're only a foot tall, are you afraid? Are you a man?"

Yu Ren is not ashamed at all. "What's wrong with men? Men are also afraid of heights. I am afraid of heights."

"What? What kind of disease?" Li Ying had never heard of this word before.

"Acrophobia. I feel dizzy when I lower my head and look down from a high place. That's how I am." Yu Ren said, pretending to be dizzy and preparing to lean on Li Ying who was standing aside.

.

Li Ying glanced at him, "Okay, you're right. I'll go down first, and when you jump down, I'll pick you up from below. That's alright!"

As Li Ying spoke, she jumped down first. Then she stood under the wall and made a jumping gesture to Yu Ren. Yu Ren secretly rejoiced in his heart: Everyone always embraces beautiful women, but this time I want to try to have a beautiful woman embrace me.

The feeling. Hmm! Not bad, not bad! Yu Ren thought shamelessly.

Seeing that Li Ying was ready, Yu Ren really wanted to shout, Beauty, here I come! However, conditions did not allow, so he had to silently make an exaggerated expression of excitement, and then jumped towards the beauty under the wall.

In fact, the three-meter-high courtyard wall is not really high for Yu Ren. It is just one floor. When he was young and naughty with his friends in the countryside, he would jump over such a high place. Let alone now.

Yu Ren jumped down, no, threw himself down. At this moment, the one word that flashed through Yu Ren's mind was: Beauty and the Beast.

Yu Ren saw Li Ying reaching out to him. However, her slender hand only pushed lightly on his body, and then retracted. At this moment, in Li Ying's eyes, Yu Ren clearly understood

Saw the cunning.

Yu Ren was thrown to the ground heavily. The warm fragrance of soft jade that he had expected was gone, and what was left was only the cold and hard ground.

"Ouch!" Yu Ren moaned softly, pretending that he had fallen hard.

"Let's see how dare you take advantage of me in the future." Li Ying laughed and cursed in a low voice.

Yu Ren didn't argue, he just moaned softly.

"What? Does it really hurt?" Seeing that he didn't reply, Li Ying came up with concern. "Let me take a look!"

With that said, Li Ying stretched out her hand to help Yu Ren up.

"It hurts!" Yu Ren deliberately pretended to be in pain. In fact, the fall really didn't hurt much. It wasn't that Yu Ren's body was so strong, but that Li Ying's push had already pushed his body downwards.

The acceleration is cushioned a lot.

"You deserve it! Who made you want to take advantage of me?" Li Ying said and glared at Yu Ren. Seeing that he was actually fine, Li Ying stood up.

Seeing that the ruse was discovered, Yu Ren hurriedly got up from the ground and said with a calm face. "Then, when we go out later, let you take advantage of me. I will carry you!"

"No," Li Ying whispered, but her voice was not firm, and there was a rare blush on her face. Yu Ren was very close to Li Ying at this time, and when he saw Li Ying's rare shyness, there was a kind of charm in his heart.

It feels like being scratched by a cat.

Yu Ren was about to reach out to hug Li Ying's slender waist when he suddenly saw a faint light coming from a small building not far away.

The two of them were startled, thinking that someone else had discovered their whereabouts, and hurriedly hid behind a rockery by the wall, daring not to speak again.

After a while, they saw that there was still nothing strange in the small building. The two of them felt relieved.

"Let's go over and take a look!" Li Ying whispered in Yu Ren's ear.

So the two of them quietly went to the bottom of the small building. There happened to be a bush of flowers, and the two of them hid in the flowers.

At this time, the lights were on on the second floor. Two figures seemed to be sitting in front of the table talking about something. Although the night was quiet, the distance was too far, and the doors and windows were closed. Yu

The two of them couldn't hear their conversation at all.

Li Ying was about to get up and prepare to use her steel claws to climb up to the second floor to eavesdrop. Suddenly she heard a soft "squeak" and the wooden door downstairs suddenly opened.

Two girls walked out of the house. One of them seemed to be only twelve or thirteen years old, and the other was a little older, probably fifteen or sixteen years old.

Neither of the two girls had a lantern. They walked past the flowers where Yu Ren and his wife were hiding, and then turned east. As soon as the younger girl went out, she held the older girl's arm tightly.

"Look at your potential. You don't dare to walk this far to the hut by yourself, and you want me to accompany you!"

"You are so timid!" said the little girl.

"Timid? Then why were you not surprised at all when you suddenly saw Master Shi just now? But now you are not timid?" the eldest maid whispered.

"What's so surprising? It's not the first time Master Shi has come here. He's never been like this before, and I'm used to it. He is our lady's savior, so of course I won't be afraid of him.

." The little girl's words behind her became softer and quieter, and gradually became inaudible.

Li Ying saw the two girls chatting about Shi Tingzhu. She quickly pricked up her ears to listen. From the meaning of the two girls' words, it seemed that Shi Tingzhu had some relationship with the young lady of the Zhu family. "Savior?" is used for saviors.

Do you often come to the lady's embroidery studio late at night? I'm afraid it's your lover! Li Ying thought.

The sudden discovery of Shi Tingzhu's secret really surprised Li Ying, but when she thought about Shi Tingzhu's previous behavior in Daqu Mountain, it was reasonable. I remember that at that time, Shi Tingzhu seemed to ask for leave once a month.

It can take as long as five or six days, and as short as two or three days. His reason at the time was that he had an old aunt living in Ningbo, so he wanted to visit her often.

Li Ying also proposed that he bring his aunt to Daqu Mountain, and said that he could build a larger house for them. But Shi Tingzhu said that his aunt had lived in Ningbo Mansion for decades and was used to it.

, didn’t want to move, so Li Ying didn’t force it anymore. Many of their Li family members originally lived in the city, and Shi Tingzhu was no exception. Because the Li family didn’t have such a safe place for the time being.

The stable, convenient and convenient rear area can accommodate these people's families. Therefore, they have to make arrangements by themselves.

It turns out that she is not an aunt, but a lover. Li Ying thought. This lover seems to be a widow. Shi Tingzhu obviously did not get married for such a widow until now. It seems that this Shi Tingzhu is still an infatuated person.

of seeds.

Knowing this, Li Ying's impression of Shi Tingzhu changed slightly. However, they still haven't figured out the key question of why he listened to Jiang Jiulang and came to assassinate Yu Ren. Although Jiang Jiulang was

His immediate boss, Li Ying, knew that the relationship between the two people had not always been very good. It was obviously unreasonable to say that he helped Jiang Jiulang kill Yu Ren out of brotherly loyalty.

Moreover, Yu Ren is still her friend. No matter what aspect, Shi Tingzhu has no reason to listen to Jiang Jiulang and kill Yu Ren.

The only explanation for this is: He actually wanted to kill Yu Ren himself. So why did he want to kill Yu Ren? This question then came back again.

It seems that all this has to fall on Miss Zhu. Li Ying thought.

At this time, the two girls had come back. Under the shadow of the lights on the second floor, the young lady was still chatting with Sister Cui'er. The two girls did not enter the house, but sat down on a big stone beside the flowers.

"Sister Zhu'er, do you think our eldest lady will go with Master Shi?" the little girl asked softly to the eldest girl.

"Probably not! Master Shi also mentioned before that he should let the young lady go with him! Until now, the young lady is still living well at home!" Pearl said.

"That's different. I heard that before, the lady didn't leave because she couldn't bear to leave the old lady. But now the old lady has been gone for two or three years. Besides, didn't Master Shi say that someone might want to harm the lady? If you don't leave,

There may be fatal consequences!"

The eldest girl Pearl didn't speak.

After a while, the little girl said again: "Sister Zhu'er, I heard that this young master Shi is a hereditary military household. His father also served as a soldier in Datong. He seems to be a very high official. Is it true?"

"Master Shi's father once served as the commander-in-chief of Datong. Later I heard that because he offended a minister in the court, he was demoted to Zhejiang to work as a guerrilla. Otherwise, he was from Shanxi. Our lady has never been

How could I get to know him when he was traveling far away?"

Before the two of them finished speaking, they saw the lights on the second floor dim suddenly, and then a figure stood up and seemed to be going downstairs. When the two girls saw each other, they stood up quickly. "Sister Cui'er is going downstairs.

Come on. Let’s get in the house quickly. Otherwise, we’ll get scolded by her again.”
