Chapter 331
Lu Zhaozhao had never expected to see Luo Shuiyao in a casual glance. She wondered what magic that village girl had used to seem so much better off than those in the Marquis' Mansion. Perhaps she didn't want to appear embarrassed in front of her opponent, so when Luo Shuiyao turned around, she hurriedly lowered the curtain.
After calming down a bit, Lu Zhaozhao felt indignant: Why should she be afraid of that village girl, Luo Shuiyao? With this thought, she lifted the curtain again, only to see Luo Shuiyao walking forward without a backward glance. Pedestrians moved out of the way, and the carriage slowly moved away. Only when Luo Shuiyao was completely out of sight did Lu Zhaozhao lower the curtain again.
Luo Shuiyao didn't notice anything unusual, thinking she'd misjudged it, and continued walking. But before she'd taken a few steps, that menacing gaze, like a thorn in her back, struck her again. She turned back, bewildered, but still saw nothing. After another careful scan, she thought she was being overly sensitive, so she ignored it and headed straight for the Yangchun noodle stall.
Luo Shuiyao was walking when she was suddenly stopped by a young man with a slightly plump figure, a white face and no beard.
The man, dressed in finery, clasped his fists slightly, flanked by several guards. At this moment, he fanned himself with elegance, waving his fan as he stepped in front of Luo Shuiyao and said, "Young lady, I am Lin Juncai, the son of General Zuo Wei's family."
Luo Shuiyao's brow furrowed slightly, a flicker of displeasure flashing across her eyes. She was secretly wary, unsure of what Young Master Lin was up to. But now, alone, to avoid unnecessary trouble, she suppressed her impatience and, maintaining her composure, bowed. "So it's Young Master Lin. I wonder why you've stopped me?"
Lin Juncai's eyes scanned Luo Shuiyao, a greasy smile plastered on his face. "Young lady, you are so pure and elegant. It would be bad if you were to run into some scoundrels walking alone on the street. This is our first meeting, and I feel a strong connection. I'd like to make friends with you. I hope you won't refuse."
Luo Shuiyao found it even more amusing when she heard this, thinking: Is this the same TV scene where someone molests a commoner? She maintained a faint smile and replied calmly, "Thank you for your concern, Master Lin. I'm just a maid, and the guards aren't far away, so I hope you won't worry too much. I have urgent matters to attend to, so I can't stay any longer. Please make way for me."
She bowed slightly, walked around Lin Juncai and prepared to go towards the carriage. She was not in the mood to eat plain noodles at the moment.
When Lin Juncai saw Luo Shuiyao about to leave, his expression instantly turned unhappy. However, since there were many people here, he raised his hand to stop the followers who were about to block his way, and simply followed behind Luo Shuiyao.
Luo Shuiyao was irritated. Although she had learned some rudimentary martial arts, she had spent so long in the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's mansion that she still had some discerning eyes. She could tell at a glance that the people accompanying Lin Juncai were all martial artists, and with her mediocre skills, she couldn't handle them at all. With no other options, she could only quicken her pace. The coachman and Chuntao were still there, so it was better for her than to handle it alone.
As for why she didn't ask the people around her for help, it wasn't that she hadn't thought about it. She'd seen how they'd avoid Lin Juncai like the plague, and when she heard he was the son of General Zuo Wei, she knew he was someone they couldn't afford to offend. Since they couldn't afford to offend him, naturally, no one would dare to help her.
But when she hurried to the carriage, she was shocked to find it completely empty. The carriage had vanished without a trace. Chuntao and the driver were nowhere to be seen either. She thought to herself, "Oh no!" she thought, figuring she could just get in the carriage and leave. No matter how skilled these people were, they couldn't outrun the carriage, but she was disappointed. This place was far less crowded than the main streets, so wouldn't that make it easier for these people? With this thought, she lost all sense of reserve, glanced at the person following her, lifted her skirt, and ran forward.
This was the back door of the Qingyu Tower. There was a small door not far away that led into the building. No matter what, she had to hide inside first. Unexpectedly, she had underestimated these people after all. Seeing her running away, Lin Juncai immediately ordered the guards beside him to stop her.
She thought she could get into the building in a few steps, but she didn't expect the man to be skilled in martial arts. He blocked her way with a few jumps and moves. Before she could even shout for help, he was restrained and his lips were covered.
Luo Shuiyao was secretly anxious. She had only come to Qingyu Tower today and did not carry any self-defense medicine with her. Now she was in danger.
Lin Juncai came forward breathlessly, and when he saw that she was under control, a smug smile appeared on his face. "Go ahead and scream. Even if you scream your throat out, no one will save you."
Luo Shuiyao rolled her eyes. As expected of a character from a book, even her lines remained the same. But she was truly under control now, and she couldn't shout. She felt anxious, but could only wait and see.
Lin Juncai finished laughing and waved his hand: "Take the person to my small house." "Yes!"
The guard then struck Luo Shuiyao on the neck with a palm. Luo Shuiyao's eyes went dark and she passed out.
When she regained consciousness, she found herself being carried down a small alley. With great effort, she looked forward, feeling excruciating pain in her neck and shoulders. She saw a luxuriously decorated carriage following behind. A closer look revealed the driver to be none other than the guard who had accompanied the man claiming to be Lin Juncai. She instantly understood her current predicament and, to avoid drawing attention, closed her eyes and feigned unconsciousness.
After walking for a while, Luo Shuiyao estimated that they were only a few hundred meters away at most, when the man stopped. Then there was a knock on the door, and it was quickly opened. The guard carried Luo Shuiyao into the yard.
Luo Shuiyao didn't dare look up, only slightly opening her eyes and glancing around. She found that the courtyard looked small from the outside, but inside it was a world of its own, extremely luxurious. She figured this must be the small courtyard that Lin Juncai had been talking about.
The guard silently carried her into a room, threw her on the bed, and then fell silent. Since she didn't hear any footsteps leaving, Luo Shuiyao could only maintain the position she was in when she was thrown, not daring to move.
Soon, footsteps were heard from outside the door. Luo Shuiyao felt a shadow looming over her, and the person's breathing was very close to her. She secretly clenched her hands under the quilt, but still pretended to be calm and remained motionless.
"This girl is really pretty and has a lively personality, which is quite unique." After he sighed, his fingers were still sliding gently on Luo Shuiyao's cheek.
Luo Shuiyao closed her eyes tightly, her heart pounding wildly. She was so frightened and scared that she didn't even dare to breathe, for fear that any movement would reveal a flaw and alert the person in front of her.
