Behind the door, Pei Jinting tightly surrounded the person in his arms.
He controlled her mischievous hand with one hand and supported it on the door panel with the other hand. With all the veins showing, he lowered his head slightly and put it against the corner of her lips to prevent her voice from escaping.
Gu Qingyuan was like a helpless fish, being dragged out of the water for a while, unable to breathe, and then sinking to the bottom again.
"Good boy Yuanyuan. Wait a minute."
The low voice reached her ears through her broad chest, and the powerful vibration made her whole body tremble.
Pei Jinting didn't know what was going on at He Zheng's place, but he hadn't led him away yet.
"Don't be afraid. I'm here." He lowered his head and whispered in Gu Qingyuan's ear.
He knew that the poison in her body was taking effect. He was also very uncomfortable, but now was not the time.
Seeing the person in his arms, weak and helpless, clinging to his begging, his heart felt soft and tender.
He is a man, and his identity behind his back allows him to not worry about other people's opinions.
It was because of this that he shouldered the responsibility of kidnapping the bride in the first place.
But she is different.
On the other side of the rockery, Qin Lu didn't wait for the magistrate's boy to come over, so she ordered her maid to call someone to carry the magistrate's brother-in-law to the house behind the rockery.
The houses next to this row of verandas were originally intended for guests to rest their feet.
There are some simple tables, chairs and couches inside.
Qin Lu looked at a row of five rooms and had some doubts in her heart. The prefect's brother-in-law was drunk on the ground. Maybe he was late and didn't meet Gu Qingyuan?
Or was it that he encountered her and ran away from her?
She counted the time and felt that the delicate Gu Qingyuan was not that fast.
It should still be here.
If you were hiding here, you wouldn't know which room it was.
Just as she was hesitating, there seemed to be a noise coming from a room.
Her originally halting steps immediately changed direction and walked towards the room where the noise was heard.
"Ah... there are mice." A lady who was traveling with her screamed, and her screams covered up the sounds in the room.
The lady screamed and jumped from one side to the other. When she passed by Qin Lu, she almost pulled the veil off her face.
Qin Lu covered her face tightly, with a vicious look in her eyes, wanting to tear the lady into pieces.
The scar on her face has not yet healed, and the color has not faded, and has gradually developed in the direction of redness and purple, lying across her face. Sometimes when she gets up at night, she looks at herself in the bronze mirror, as if she is a ghost.
She held back the sharp shouts that came out of her mouth, frowned, and tried to make a soft voice, "It's all because the servants were lazy and didn't take care of the guest rooms in time, making everyone laugh."
Behind the door, Gu Qingyuan tried her best to clear her head. She raised her head blankly, and the hairpin on her head jingled and hit the door panel, making a subtle noise.
When she heard the sound outside, Gu Qingyuan remained motionless, for fear of making any noise again.
Because the two of them were so close, their breathing was ups and downs, and Gu Qingyuan subconsciously held her breath.
Seeing her holding her breath, Pei Jinting couldn't help but smile lowly, and pressed his hot lips to the corners of her lips.
Gu Qingyuan's eyes widened and she wanted to push him, but her hand was held by the man in front of her. As their eyes intertwined, a low squeaking sound suddenly came from her ears.
Under such extremely tense pressure, even low sounds were exceptionally amplified.
It wasn't the sound she made.
Gu Qingyuan raised her eyes to look at Pei Jinting. She didn't dare to move or speak out. She just told him with her eyes that it wasn't her.
Then there was another sound similar to the one before, which made people blush, followed by low sobs.
Gu Qingyuan and Pei Jinting's eyes intertwined, and it seemed that someone nearby was hiding in.
When Qin Lu arrived at this moment, she didn't know what she was obsessed with. The person she found was being carried like a dead pig.
Gu Qingyuan disappeared.
At this time, she knew that even if she found Gu Qingyuan, she would not be able to prove anything even if she was in these few rooms.
But she was still a little unwilling in her heart.
The low squeaks and low sobs fell in Qin Lu's ears at this moment, like the sound of nature.
Her originally depressed and annoyed heart suddenly rose up, and she stared at the closed door for a while, with a mocking smile on her lips.
It seems that even if Gu Qingyuan escaped the prefect's brother-in-law, she did not escape the drunkard next to her.
She pretended not to hear the sound, pointed to a door, as if to cover up, and said to the prefect's daughter,
"There are a lot of guests in the mansion today. Maybe one of the guests drank too much. Let's ask your uncle to take a break here?"
The daughter of the prefect was in a state of confusion at this moment. She knew exactly who her uncle was.
She shouldn't have stayed just now. Who knows what nonsense this uncle will talk about when he wakes up.
She just seemed to see the footprints of a woman's embroidered shoes on her uncle's body. Could it be that he provoked someone from the Qin family?
The prefect's daughter, whose thoughts were in a turbulent state, could not concentrate on listening to the evil intentions in Qin Lu's words.
He just nodded casually, "Sister Lu is the head of the family, so the arrangements must be excellent."
Qin Lu gave the maid behind her a look and motioned for her to open the door.
Gu Qingyuan leaned against the door panel, listening to the approaching footsteps outside, and almost didn't dare to breathe.
Pei Jinting pecked her forehead and whispered in her ear, "Don't be afraid."
He gently lifted her up and turned her around, and the two of them changed directions.
He leaned lightly on the door panel, opened his clothes and buried her inside.
The broad back blocks all possible sightings.
There was a moment of clarity in Gu Qingyuan's chaotic mind. She was extremely nervous and at the same time extremely at ease.
The night gradually covers up the light.
In the quiet room, a low cry came again.
Soft yet charming.
Gu Qingyuan could hear the reason for such crying.
There is more than one person next door.
She heard footsteps stopping outside the door behind Pei Jinting.
Qin Lu heard wrongly, is she going to open the door?
Gu Qingyuan clung to Pei Jinting's chest, holding the clothes around his waist tightly with both hands.
If Pei Jinting is really discovered and Pei Jinting goes out on patrol on behalf of the emperor and her identity cannot be exposed, then she will bear everything.
Just when Gu Qingyuan was thinking about how to deal with the aftermath, her heart slowly calmed down, and she was ready to accept the attention of everyone calmly,
She seemed to hear panicked whispers, and then the sound of getting dressed.
Sure enough, there are wild mandarin ducks having a private meeting next door?
She couldn't hear clearly through a wall, let alone Qin Lu who was eager to make people look embarrassed.
She looked a little embarrassed and shouted harshly,
"Who is it? Come out."
"Push the door open and see which one is shameless."
Before she could finish her words, she heard a lazy and hoarse voice,
"Go away. How dare you disturb my good deeds?"
Then there was the sound of something heavy hitting the door panel and shattering to the ground.
Qin Lu's eyes widened suddenly, how could he be in there?
