Chapter 119: Intentionally
Qiu Yan and his wife could only act separately, for several days in a row, in addition to eating and solving personal problems, even the time for sleep was greatly squeezed.
If she can sleep for an hour or two every night, Qiu Yan is already satisfied.
As for going outside, Lu Chiye was not very worried that she would go alone, and he was even more afraid that Qiu Yan would be discovered by the scholar, so he could only go there himself.
Therefore, when encountering problems in shops not very far from their house, Qiu Yan will usually deal with them personally.
One day, she was about to go out to see the recent problems in the store, and by the way, she discussed with the shopkeeper to solve them in time, but because she hadn't slept well for many days, she felt dizzy when she walked on the road.
While gently tapping on his temples, he struggled to support himself and walked forward.
But who knows, when he was walking to a corner, he suddenly bumped into two people head-on.
Qiu Yan was knocked back two steps, and hurriedly held on to the wall next to him before he could barely stand firm.
first lowered his head in front of these two people, "I'm really sorry, I'm a little dizzy, I didn't see the two." ”
"Ouch, is it Mrs. Lu? Are you alright, did you hit somewhere? I'm really sorry, I didn't pay attention to the person in front of me just now. ”
To Qiu Yan's surprise, the man she bumped into looked quite talkative.
took the initiative to step forward, and after personally helping her up, he asked with all kinds of concern.
"Mrs. Lu, are you okay? Do you need a doctor to help you take a look? ”
"No thanks." Qiu Yan used a little force, pinched his leg, and waited for himself to stay awake before he looked up at the man in front of him.
This man shouldn't be young, no matter how you say it, he has to be thirty or forty, but just now he looked extremely courteous, and he wanted to hold her hand, which made Qiu Yan extremely taboo.
After taking a few steps back, widening the distance between her and him, she took a closer look, and found that in addition to this man in front of her, who was wearing silk and satin, wearing a big gold ring on his hand, and looking like he had a lot of family background, there was actually Linlang who had always caused trouble for them before!
Linlang was a little frightened at Shang Qiuyan's indifferent gaze, and shrank to the side.
But the man next to her was extremely dissatisfied with Linlang's performance at this moment, and scolded her harshly.
"What are you doing here? When you see Mrs. Lu, don't you hurry up and salute and say hello? Didn't you say before that you had a good relationship with Mrs. Lu? ”
As he spoke, the man pinched Linlang's arm, his expression extremely fierce.
But when he looked up at Qiu Yan, he changed his face again and looked at her with a smile.
"Mrs. Lu, just now my little concubine didn't have long eyes, and she didn't bother to remind me that there was someone in front of me, so I bumped into you. I'll ask her to apologize to you, and ask Mrs. Lu not to take it to heart. ”
As he spoke, he pulled the white and tender neck of the little concubine like this, as if he was grabbing a chicken, forcing her to bow her head in front of Qiu Yan.
There was still a smile on his face, but the words he said made Qiu Yan's brows tighten.
"What are you doing? Don't hurry up and apologize to Mrs. Lu! Mrs. Lu has a noble status, if something happens to you, can you afford to pay for it? ”
Qiu Yan originally wanted to say that it was not necessary, but when he lowered his head, he found that he was extremely arrogant in front of them before, and this Linlang, who looked very angry, seemed to be a different person at this moment.
In front of this man, he was submissive, he didn't even dare to say a word, he kept his head down, and his body trembled like a fallen leaf in the wind.
After Qiu Yan took a closer look, he found that Linlang's current condition was extremely bad, and she seemed to have lost some weight compared to what she had seen before.
Through her slightly open collar, you can even see a bruise on her neck.
But it was definitely not left when men and women were happy, someone definitely did something to her!
Thinking like this, Qiu Yan was also a little distressed by Linlang, and quickly stopped the man who was wearing gold and silver.
"No, she didn't mean to. Okay, I still have some things, so I'll go first. ”
"Oh, Mrs. Lu, why are you in such a hurry? It was also fate to meet Mrs. Lu here, and it just so happened that I had something I wanted to talk to you about. ”
The man was extremely flattering, and seeing that Linlang beside him was useless, he immediately pushed her aside.
After he took the initiative to walk in front of Qiu Yan, he rubbed his hands next to her and said cautiously.
"Mrs. Lu, my little concubine said that she knew Madame you before. And Mrs. Lu and the head of the Lu family are people from the same place, isn't that the case? If that's the case, that's a coincidence! My family is also in business, but the head of the Lu family and his wife are too busy, every time I go to visit, the people in your family say that you two have gone out, so it has been delayed until now. Since you have met it, then you just happened to get to know Mrs. Lu well, and you should be a friend. ”
Qiu Yan knew very well in his heart that this man was fake when he said that he wanted to make friends with them, but he was afraid that it was true that he wanted to get a piece of their business.
Moreover, she saw that this person's eyes were rolling wildly, and she knew that he was not a good person.
Gently patted the dust that didn't exist on his body, and said in a businesslike tone.
"If you really want to make friends with us and do business, you can tell us about your business at home and the shopkeeper of the nearby shop. If it really meets our requirements for partners, then we can naturally negotiate business according to the process. I still have some things, so I won't talk about them anymore. ”
This man didn't expect Qiu Yan to be so unsympathetic, and he was suddenly a little unhappy.
Thinking of what Linlang said in front of him before, he raised his identity in various ways.
said that she and Qiu Yan were from the same place, and that they had met Qiu Yan and them many days ago, and they would definitely look up to her.
As long as she takes the initiative to come forward, then talking about business is simply a matter of course.
Unexpectedly, he brought Linlang with him today, and Qiu Yan still looked unpretentious.
At this moment, he had a feeling of being deceived, and hurriedly stretched out his short arm to block Qiu Yan.
With his right hand, he directly dragged Linlang's arm, pulled her in front of him, and said with Sang scolding.
"Some people are just shameless! is obviously from a humble background, and you are trying to get in touch with someone with a head and a face, who gave you such a big face? What a shame! ”
After speaking, in front of Qiu Yan, he actually punched and kicked this Linlang.
Linlang didn't know if she had been abused these days, and the whole person became thin and emaciated.
The originally full cheeks also lost weight at a fairly fast rate, and the wrists were as thin as if they could be pinched with a little force.
But she was already like this, and the man in front of her still didn't want to have so much pity for her, pinching and beating Linlang.
But Linlang didn't dare to resist, so she could only desperately protect her face and cry tremblingly.
"Stop fighting, it hurts, don't hit me."
"Lao Tzu beat you lightly, you dare to lie to Lao Tzu! I kept saying that I had a good relationship with Mrs. Lu, and the two of you have been friends for many years, but when you look at it, Mrs. Lu doesn't want to pay attention to you at all! If you lied to Lao Tzu, you should fight! ”
Qiu Yan was taken aback by his battle, and after reacting, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.
It took a lot of effort to pull the tired and panting man away, and he looked at him coldly, as if a layer of frost had condensed on his face.
"You big man, what do you look like when you beat a woman? If you have something to do with me, just tell me, what do you want to do? ”
After saying that, he counted Xiao Jiujiu in his heart.
She and Lu Chiye have been out of business for so long, and they have seen everything.
It is not uncommon to deliberately sing red face and white face for a while.
She finally understood that this man had deliberately made this appearance in front of her just now.
First, he was indeed right, the two of them did know the Linlang in front of them, although what happened before made them very unpleasant, but after all, it was a fact.
Second, she is a woman with a head and a face, watching other men bully others in front of her, and she never thought of helping out.
If it spreads, it will not be good for her and the reputation of the Lu family, so she can only come forward to stop it.
The man looked at Qiu Yan and finally took the initiative to talk to him, and his heart was happy.
But he still made an extremely indignant look on his face, pinched Linlang's hand again, and said loudly.
"Mrs. Lu, don't be angry, the reason why I treated her like this just now is to see if she lied to me! Now that she saw it, what she said before was all a lie! ”
Linlang has been scared by this man these days, this person is simply a beast.
Except for one of her faces, which can barely be seen now, there are bruises and purple marks everywhere on her body.
Even if you ask a doctor for medicine every day, it will not help, and the old wound has not healed, and the new wound has come again.
Now the doctor shook his head again and again when he looked at her, and could only bow his head pitifully in front of Qiu Yan and said earnestly.
"Mrs. Lu, please save me! I did know you before, and the head of the Lu family, please, help me say a few good words, let my father-in-law let me go! ”
Qiu Yan glanced at Linlang and was unmoved.
These two people are clearly picking up and staging a bitter trick in front of her.
I guess I want to make her feel distressed, right?
But Qiu Yan didn't eat this, and was about to look up and leave, when the man and Linlang stood in front of her again.
Looking at the two of them like this, Qiu Yan's heart suddenly became a little angry.
Just as he was about to open his mouth and reprimand them severely, a woman wearing a azure skirt and dressed as a maid suddenly walked out next to him.
The woman carried a basket with some fresh food.
After walking in front of Qiu Yan and them, he took the initiative to stand next to Qiu Yan and made a look of standing up for her.
