I was Idle and Cool - Chapter 128

Its daybreak.

Lu Jinxi was still in a daze when she woke up. She didn’t know when she fell asleep, but she felt that her head was still aching when she opened her eyes.

I don’t know if it’s because of the injury on the head, or because I haven’t slept well.

The rain stopped, and there were birds chirping outside.

If it weren’t for the fact that the house he was in was still crude, Lu Jinxi would even have the illusion that he was still in the General’s Mansion, calm and peaceful.

She raised her hand and sat up on her forehead. She was a little thirsty, so she got up and got out of bed and put on her shoes, wanting to go to the table to pour water.

Unexpectedly, the door opened directly at this time.

When Lu Jinxi heard the voice, she almost shuddered, and almost lost the rough pottery teapot in her hand!

“you…”

Turning his head to look, it was the bearded man who was sitting beside her bed and talking to her last night, and his anger rose from his heart at this moment.

“Won’t you knock on the door when you enter?”

“Knock on the door?”

He was still wrapped in a black robe, with a bowl of hot porridge in his hand, and his steps were steady. But after hearing Lu Jinxi’s words, he smiled strangely.

“Why do you think I need to knock on the door when I come in?”

On the surface, these words seem to be saying that Lu Jinxi is just his prisoner, and has no qualifications to negotiate with him or reject him.

But…

That smile always gave her an uncomfortable feeling of thorns on her back, as if there was something hidden in those words.

Lu Jinxi frowned slightly, glanced at the porridge he was holding, and said with a smile, “Yes, I almost forgot, now I’m just a piece of fish on the chopping board. I just don’t know, what do you want? How to kill me?”

The man put the porridge bowl on the table.

But he didn’t leave, and just sat at the table casually, as if taking the house as his own territory, and said with a smile, “You’re so smart, why don’t you guess?”

guess?

Where to guess?

Lu Jinxi asked herself whether she was stupid, but she didn’t get to the point where she could guess two, three, four, five, six without any clues.

She didn’t move the bowl of porridge for a while, but continued to pour water, drank some water, and moistened her throat before saying, “I can’t guess. But seeing that you brought a bowl of porridge, it must be something big to plot, I’m dying now. It’s fine. There’s just one sentence that I want to take the liberty to ask.”

What he said was “pretend”, but his demeanor meant that he had to ask.

The man sat at the table and looked at her with a gleam of depth in his eyes. He seemed to follow her in a particularly good-natured manner: “Ask and see.”

Lu Jinxi asked, “I want to know how the people who were with me that day are doing now.”

“them?”

The two sharp sword eyebrows were gently raised, and there was a little more imperceptible coldness between the eyebrows. He pressed his knuckles on the table, but his voice was light and fluttering.

“Except for a kid who escaped, your maid is still alive.”

“…”

Although she had expected it, her hands trembled when she heard the news.

The teacup filled with water immediately fell from her hand.

But it didn’t land.

As if he had expected this scene, a hand next to him quickly and calmly stretched out, and actually caught the teacup.

It was so stable that it didn’t even spill a small half-cup of tea.

The man suddenly paled a little without looking at her, and only said, “Let’s drink porridge, there is nothing in the mountain, so I will aggravate Madam, and I will do it first.”

The voice was clear, but it fell into Lu Jinxi’s ears, but it seemed to be far away.

For a moment, she felt like she couldn’t stand still.

But when she blinked, she realized that she was still standing in the same place, not shaking much, maybe there were not too many flaws except for her pale face.

The guardian of the Grand Master’s mansion…

Those young people who accompanied them all the way to Baoding, even most of them are not married, and there are relatives waiting in the family home…

Say it’s gone.

The matter of human life is at stake, in the mouth of the man in front of him, it is like eating and drinking water, which is normal!

There was not even mercy in his eyes.

It seems to have been used to it for a long time, and it seems that I don’t care at all.

Seeing Lu Jinxi looking at him, his eyes didn’t move, as if he wanted to look into his heart, he didn’t have any extra reaction, just laughed again.

That voice, with a bit of joking teasing: “Madam seems to be very concerned. Then I will be even more curious. When your good eldest son Gu knows the news of your disaster and robbery, I wonder if it will happen. Are you taking a risk to explore the tiger’s den?”
