I was Idle and Cool Chapter 128: Indifferent

It's dawn.

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

I don't know if it's because of the head injury 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 rudimentary, 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 sound, she almost shuddered, and almost lost the stoneware teapot in her hand!

"You..."

I turned my head and saw that it was the bearded man who was sitting beside her bed and talking to her last night. At this moment, my anger rose from my heart.

"Will there be no knock at the door?"

"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, it sounds like 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 the words.

Lu Jinxi frowned slightly, glanced at the porridge he was holding, and said with a smile, "It's true, I almost forgot, now I'm just a piece of fish that was slaughtered on the chopping board. I just don't know, How on earth do you want to slaughter me?"

The man put the porridge bowl on the table.

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

Guess?

Where to guess?

Lu Jinxi asked herself if 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 plan. My life is safe now. I just want to take the liberty of asking a question."

What he said was "presumptuous", but his demeanor meant that he had to ask.

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

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

"They?"

The two sharp sword brows were raised gently, and there was a little more imperceptible coldness between the brow peaks. He clasped his knuckles on the table, but his voice was soft.

"Except for one kid who escaped, your maid is still alive."

“…”

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

The teacup with the water immediately fell from her hand.

But it didn't land.

As if I had expected this scene long ago, a hand next to me quickly and calmly reached out and 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 said, "Let's have some porridge, there is nothing in the mountain, so I just wronged 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.

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

The guards of the Taishi Mansion...

Those young people who accompany them all the way to Baoding, even most of them are not married, and there are still 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, it is normal!

He doesn't even have pity in his eyes.

It seems that I have already seen it, 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 don't know. Would you risk yourself to explore the tiger's den?"
