Chapter 229 Leng Linglong is attacked
Leng Linglong saw Pei'er's pale face, patted her hand gently, and said with a smile: "My arm is about to be scratched by you! Don't be afraid, it's okay, let's go up and see what happened?"
After saying that, he took Pei'er and strode into the Fulin Restaurant.
As soon as she entered, she saw the shopkeeper walking towards her with a panicked look on his face!
"Ma'am, are you okay?"
Seeing the shopkeeper was so scared that sweat broke out on his forehead, Leng Linglong raised an eyebrow and asked, "I'm fine, what happened just now? Fortunately, I encountered it. If it was encountered by a customer who didn't know kung fu, wouldn't someone be killed?"
"Madam, please calm down! This waiter was just hired yesterday afternoon. He looked quite smart, but I didn't expect him to be so clumsy. Just now, he was arranging flower pots on the second floor and accidentally knocked this one down!"
The shopkeeper moved aside, and Leng Linglong saw a waiter about fifteen or sixteen years old standing behind him, trembling all over.
When the waiter saw Leng Linglong looking at him, his legs went weak and he fell to his knees with a thud.
"Madam, I didn't mean it. Please forgive me!"
Leng Linglong looked him up and down, and seeing that he was trembling with fear, she waved her hand and said, "Get up, and be more careful when you work next time. Oh, and put the flower pots on the second floor farther away from the window to prevent this from happening again!"
After saying that, he ignored the waiter who got up and thanked him repeatedly, and said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, I'm hungry. Make some delicious food and send it up! I'll go to Yunyi Pavilion later!"
"Yes, ma'am. I'll have someone bring you some refreshments. Please fill your stomach first!"
After the shopkeeper respectfully escorted Leng Linglong to the second floor, he said to the troublemaker, "Although the madam doesn't blame you, I don't dare to keep you. Here is fifty coins, which is your day's wages. Hurry and leave!"
The shopkeeper stuffed the copper coin into the second child's hand and sighed.
His heart was still pounding, and he couldn't imagine what the consequences would be if his wife had been hit just now!
The waiter timidly stuffed the silver and money into his arms, as if he knew that no matter how much he begged, the shopkeeper would not keep him. He bowed to the shopkeeper and left Fulin Restaurant.
When they were a little further away from the restaurant, the waiter who had been bending over with his head lowered stood up straight, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, he looked at the Yunyi Pavilion not far away, and strode towards it.
"Pei'er, sit down and eat together!"
Leng Linglong looked at the table full of delicious food and swallowed her saliva. She stuffed a pair of chopsticks into the hands of Pei'er who was standing beside her and said with a smile.
After saying that, he picked up a piece of rabbit meat and put it into his mouth.
"It's delicious! Pearl, why are you still standing there? Come over here and eat!"
Leng Linglong squinted her eyes happily, ate the dishes with big mouthfuls, and called Pei'er to eat.
Pei'er looked at the delicious food on the table and swallowed her saliva. When she heard the lady calling her, she quickly ran to the door of the box, closed it, then sat next to Leng Linglong and started eating with her.
While eating, the master and servant were discussing how delicious this dish was and how the old prime minister would definitely like that dish.
Fifteen minutes later, they put down their chopsticks, took out handkerchiefs and wiped their mouths with satisfied looks.
"Pei'er, let's go to Yunyi Pavilion to see what new styles of clothes there are!"
"Yes, ma'am!"
A quarter of an hour later, Leng Linglong and Pei'er leisurely strolled to Yunyi Pavilion.
"Ma'am, this will look great on you!"
Pei'er was holding a light green dress embroidered with lotus flowers and trying it on Leng Linglong.
"This girl has good taste. Madam, you can go inside and try it out!"
The shopkeeper of Yunyi Pavilion spoke enthusiastically to Leng Linglong and the others.
Leng Linglong was happily selecting clothes in the Yunyi Pavilion. She hadn't come out for an hour. A man wearing a bamboo hat hiding in the corner muttered, "Women are such a hassle. They've been in there for so long and they haven't come out yet!"
Just as she finished complaining, she heard the sound of Pei'er settling the bill with the shopkeeper.
He immediately stood up and stared at the entrance of Yunyi Pavilion. The moment Leng Linglong stepped over the threshold, he shot out the hidden weapon in his hand!
Leng Linglong's ears twitched, and she subconsciously dodged to the side. The plaque of Yunyi Pavilion above her head suddenly fell down. Just as Leng Linglong was about to dodge, another hidden weapon attacked her. She hurriedly bent down and dodged!
The hidden weapon did not hit her, but a corner of the plaque hit her arm.
It all happened so fast that by the time the shopkeeper and Pei'er reacted, Leng Linglong had already been hit!
"Ma'am, how are you?"
Pei'er looked at Leng Linglong's left arm, whose clothes were stained with blood, and her face turned pale!
"Get out of the way!"
Leng Linglong pushed Pei'er into Yunyi Pavilion, took out the soft sword from her waist and faced the mysterious man in a hat who was attacking her.
At this time, the guards sent by Zhao Che to secretly protect Leng Linglong discovered that something was wrong here, and they appeared one after another, besieging the mysterious man with swords.
The mysterious man didn't expect so many people to appear at once. It seemed that he could not take Leng Linglong's life today. After a feint, he used his lightness skills to escape quickly.
Two guards protected Leng Linglong, and the rest of the guards followed closely.
"Madam, I failed to protect you. Please punish me!"
Seeing that the danger was over, the guard knelt on one knee and apologized to Leng Linglong.
The shopkeeper of Yunyi Pavilion also hurried out to apologize, and then ordered people to check the plaque and call a doctor.
Pei'er carefully helped Leng Linglong sit down, and looked worried as she watched the blood on her arm flow more and more.
Leng Linglong smiled at Pei'er and the shopkeeper, comforted them, said that her injury was not serious, and then waved to the guards who were still kneeling on the ground.
"Get up! Master sent you to follow me?"
"Yes, the master ordered several of his men to secretly protect the lady!"
The two guards lowered their heads in shame and replied.
They were negligent today. They subconsciously thought that in this capital city, no one would dare to attack people from the Prime Minister's Mansion in broad daylight, so they didn't pay too much attention to the madam. This led to the failure to kick the plaque away in time, causing the madam to be injured by it!
"You two go take a look at the plaque and see if there's anything wrong with it!"
Hearing that they were sent by her husband to protect her, Leng Linglong felt warmed in her heart. She did not blame them but pointed to the plaque on the ground and asked them to check it.
"Ma'am, the bracket supporting this plaque was destroyed in advance. This was all planned!"
After the two guards carefully examined the plaque, they looked at each other, and one of them walked up to Leng Linglong and replied respectfully.
Leng Linglong narrowed her eyes when she heard this.
She came to Yunyi Pavilion on a whim while eating. How could the assassin have predicted that she would come?
Thinking of eating, she was suddenly stunned!
Oh, right, she casually said at Fulin Restaurant that she would come to Yunyi Pavilion in a while. Thinking about how she was almost hit by a flower pot at Fulin Restaurant just now, that was not a coincidence! !
She stood up and ordered a guard, "Go to Fulin Restaurant and tell the shopkeeper to bring over the waiter who knocked over the flowerpot!"
Seeing her serious face, the guard quickly took the order and left.
