Slap!
On the shore at night, Su Li slapped Ling Li indifferently. She didn't say anything and just took a deep look at his lips. Then she turned around and walked away. Her whole body was steaming like a fairy. She evaporated the river water in a few steps. She was no different from usual.
Ling Li rubbed his cheeks and stroked his bitten lips with his fingertips. He stared at the beautiful figure in the distance with his starry eyes. From her violently heaving chest, he could see that she was not as indifferent and calm as she looked.
That time in the yard in the valley, when she detoxified the poison for him … she took the initiative to kiss him. This time, he just wanted to cover his movement. But she bit his lips and slapped him hard. Why?
There was a burning pain on his cheeks. Ling Li ran his vital energy to fade the red mark. The wound on his lips also scabbed. He turned around and went in the opposite direction instead of chasing Su Li.
The night wind blew. Hierarch Ling's cold face flashed a slight smile. It seemed that he was slapped, but he was not angry. Instead … he was very happy?
…
When Su Li returned to the Su House, Su Qingtan saw that she was tired. He stopped asking and let her have a good rest.
Mammy Li had already boiled a whole bathtub of hot water and waited for Su Li to come back.
Su Li took off her clothes and lay in the bathtub lazily. She closed her eyes and took a long breath. The scene under the river flashed in front of her eyes from time to time. She could still feel the touch on her lips.
"What a disappointment …"
Su Li sighed and got rid of the distractions in her mind. She made up her mind that she would never have anything to do with him in this life. She carefully avoided any possibility of meeting Ling Li, but she couldn't bear the fact that he took the initiative to see her. And she couldn't bear … the strange coincidence.
Mammy Li picked up the dirty clothes outside the screen. She felt strange when she held them in her hands. Why did the clothes seem to have just been washed? They were a little wrinkled.
At the same time, in the Ling House.
Ling Mo and Ling Xian stood aside quietly. Their eyes were focused on Ling Li's lips. Why did the master hurt his lips when he went to the banquet?
"What are you looking at?"
Even if Ling Li was calm enough, he couldn't bear being stared at by them for a quarter of an hour. He couldn't help but look up and said, "What are you looking at? Hurry up and reorganize the First Prince's files. "
Ling Mo quickly became serious. He walked to the side and burned the outdated files. He said, "I didn't expect that Qu Lu of the Hongyan House was a member of the Hehuan Sect and she was with the First Prince."
"If that's the case, we'll have to reevaluate the First Prince's influence."
A voice came from outside the door. The door of the study was opened. It was Ling Qinglan who just came from the Third Prince.
When Ling Qinglan entered the room, he saw the wound on Ling Li's lips and was shocked, "Your mouth …?"
"It's all because of your stupid idea!"
Ling Li stood up directly from the wheelchair. He pointed at Ling Qinglan's nose and scolded, "If you didn't ask me to pretend to be crazy to find Dongfang Sheng, I wouldn't have been scolded by that boor. He overturned my banquet table and I had to keep smiling!"
Although he didn't make it clear, Ling Li's words clearly meant that the First Prince turned over the table and caused the injury on his lips.
"Pu!"
Ling Mo couldn't hold back his laughter.
Ling Xian covered her mouth and didn't laugh.
Ling Qinglan also couldn't help laughing and ridiculed, "Isn't it your strength to pretend to be crazy and silly? I made the best use of you. If you didn't endure humiliation, we couldn't get such important information. "
Ling Li looked at Ling Mo and said faintly, "Now, immediately! Run one hundred laps around the drill ground. Don't use your Genuine Qi! "
Ling Mo immediately smiled bitterly and said, "Why only me?"
It was destined that no one would answer this question. He glanced at Ling Xian who secretly gave him a gesture of encouragement and then glanced at Ling Qinglan who was full of encouragement. Finally, he went out of the study dejectedly.
As soon as Ling Mo left, the three of them were relieved.
Ling Xian and Ling Qinglan secretly thought that the master finally vented his anger. Poor Ling Mo.
A certain someone thought to himself, I've finally muddled my way through …
"How about Dongfang Lang?"
Ling Li sat down again and calmed down.
Ling Qinglan smiled slightly and said, "Of course, it's smooth. I think Dongfang Lang will praise this plan and trust me more tomorrow. After all, I've even used my own cousin this time. "
Ling Li's face darkened. Since Ling Qinglan joined them, Ling Qinglan had made fun of him a lot.
But this time, Ling Qinglan even schemed against Su Li. Su Li was not a person who didn't take revenge. Ling Qinglan's life was still in her hands. Ling Qinglan would regret in the future.
Ling Li laughed in his heart but didn't show any clue on the surface. After they talked for a while, Ling Qinglan left.
Nothing happened that night.
The next day, the sky was dark and it seemed that it was going to rain heavily. There were few pedestrians on the street. Few people were willing to go out in this weather.
Mammy Li thoughtfully prepared an umbrella for Su Li. Su Li took it and was about to go out. Su Zipei came in from the door and said, "Second Sister, father said that the restaurant is not busy today. He wants you to see the boiler."
Su Zipei seemed to be afraid of Su Qingtan's lesson. She didn't make trouble for Su Li for several days. She stayed at home and only went out to buy medicine for her mother.
Today was not the day to buy medicine for Zhu Yan.
Su Li's eyes dimmed. She pretended to be surprised and said, "Father said that I don't need to go to the restaurant. Why …"
Su Zipei was a little flustered. She forced herself to calm down and said, "How do I know? That's what father said. I'm going to take care of my mother! "
With that, Su Zipei turned around and ran into the courtyard. It was obvious that she was running for her life.
Su Li pondered for a moment and sat in the carriage. Under the coachman's inquiring eyes, she smiled sweetly and said, "Go to the Baiwei Building."
After an hour and a half, the carriage stopped in front of the Baiwei Building. The business was not as poor as Su Zipei said. On rainy days, many people had nothing to do, so more people came to enjoy delicious food.
Su Huanli was very busy. When he suddenly saw Su Li, he didn't doubt her. He immediately pulled her and told her quickly, "You come just in time. Several boilers are not working well. Go and have a look." Su Huanli nodded.
Su Li was stunned. Did Su Zipei really come to the Baiwei Building in the morning?
Could it be that she had been overly sensitive recently and was overthinking things?
Being pushed into the kitchen, Su Li saw several boilers were overused. She quickly called several helpers to start refurbishing them.
At this moment, Master Ma Ling sneaked into the building with a few henchmen. They glanced around and didn't see Su Li. They immediately breathed a sigh of relief and found an empty seat to sit down.
"Give me a plate of the signature dishes of your inn. I'm not short of money!"
Ma Ling stretched out his hand and slapped an ingot of silver on the table. The waiter immediately went to the kitchen to serve them.
"Master, I heard that the dishes of the Baiwei Building are delicious. Do we really …"
One of the henchmen leaned over and whispered. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Ma Ling immediately knocked him on the head and scolded in a low voice, "Useless thing. As long as this thing is done, we can all get rid of the Affiliated School and become real students of the National Academy. That is the talent of the National Academy. It is impossible for him to lie. "
The henchman shrank his neck. It seemed that he was attracted by the prospect that Ma Ling said and no longer refuted.
"But before that, let me taste the taste of the Beggar's Chicken. I won't be able to eat this dish in the future."
Ma Ling smiled and didn't eat immediately. He waited until all the dishes were served. After eating and drinking, he secretly took out a white sandalwood and lit it. Then he put it under the table.
Today's wind happened to blow into the restaurant. In the snickering of Ma Ling and others, the colorless and odorless smoke floated all over the Baiwei Building. At this moment, Su Li, who was repairing the boiler in the kitchen, didn't notice it at all.
After a while, there was a burst of wailing in the restaurant.
"Ah! My stomach hurts … "
"What's the matter? I feel dizzy!"
"…"
Plop!
A fat man who had eaten many plates of the Beggar's Chicken suddenly foamed at the mouth. He slid down the chair and lay on the ground, twitching violently. Others were shocked.
"Don't eat! There is something wrong with today's dishes! "
"Ah ah ah!!"
The whole Baiwei Building was suddenly in chaos. More and more people fell down and foamed at the mouth. Some people staggered to the street. Finally, they turned their eyes and lay directly on the road.
This strange scene immediately attracted the attention of the passersby outside. In less than ten breaths of time, a large group of people had gathered around.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the waiters finally shouted in panic, "Master! Master, it's not good. All the guests are vomiting … "
Su Huanli looked at the guests lying on the ground. At this moment, his mind was blank. The Baiwei Building had been open for several months. How could it suddenly become like this?!
Hearing the noise, Su Li immediately put down her work and rushed to the front hall. Seeing such a tragic scene, she couldn't help but shrink her pupils. She swept to the front of the nearest person who fell down. She put her hand on the pulse and felt a little numb.
He was poisoned, and it was highly toxic!
There were so many people. The antidote she brought was not enough at all!
"Father, it's not too late. Immediately send them to the clinic for detoxification. Otherwise, we can't afford to bear the responsibility if they all die!"
Su Li said hurriedly. She had rushed to the side of several people with the most severe symptoms of poisoning. She took out several silver needles she carried with her to suppress the toxins. Su Huanli was at a loss at this moment. Hearing Su Li's words, he immediately ordered the waiters to go to the clinic to call people.
The waiters realized that the Baiwei Building was in a big trouble. If all these people died in the restaurant, they couldn't escape the blame. Hearing Su Huanli's order, they immediately pushed away the wall of onlookers and ran wildly.
Fortunately, the location of the Baiwei Building was excellent. It was not far from the clinic. Soon, the waiters got a large group of people from the clinic to help.
Su Li breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, she glimpsed a person who fell beside the door of the Baiwei Building. Her pupils shrank violently. She crossed the distance in two or three steps and came to the person.
Seeing the person's face, Su Li narrowed her eyes and various thoughts passed through her mind.
This was Ma Ling, the only son of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
