Chapter 154 What will you do without me?
The smile on Mother Lu's face became a little strange, and she glanced at Father Lu beside her.
Su Ping didn't notice the interaction between the two. Just as she was about to refuse, she heard Lu's mother trying to keep her.
"Pingping, it's all my fault for being so busy chatting with you that I didn't notice the time. We have a clean guest room at home. Why don't you sleep there for the night and have Ah Yan take you home tomorrow?"
There was a thunder outside, and it should rain heavily soon.
Su Ping nodded in agreement without any hesitation.
The house seemed to be even colder at night. Mother Lu was afraid that she would be cold, so she said she would have someone bring her a bed and quilt later.
Only then did Su Ping realize that there seemed to be a lot of talismans pasted on the wall, which looked a bit creepy.
The knock on the door seemed a little abrupt.
Su Ping walked over and opened it, and saw a woman standing outside the door with a quilt in her arms, expressionless.
Su Ping recognized her; she was one of the people sweeping the floor during the day.
Just as she was about to say thank you, she remembered that Lu Zhiyan had said they were deaf-mute, so she nodded, smiled at her, and took the quilt.
The woman seemed to have just completed her task. After giving her the quilt, she turned around and left with a blank expression.
It was eerily quiet.
A flash of lightning passed outside, and Su Ping noticed that the window was not closed.
Worried that rain would come in, Su Ping walked over and closed the window.
As a result, I saw a few people hurriedly walking in from outside with umbrellas in the heavy rain.
Before she could take a closer look, she heard the knock on the door again.
It’s Lu Zhiyan.
"Pingping, the stairs are slippery and easy to fall when it rains. You should not go out at night."
Lu Zhiyan gave her the warm milk in his hand.
Su Ping smelled the scent coming from him, which was the scent of Chinese herbal medicine.
"you are sick?"
Lu Zhiyan was stunned. Is her nose so sensitive?
“You smelled it wrong.”
Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Su Ping stopped asking.
Father Lu seems to be quite strict with him.
The entire house became quiet by half past nine, and not a single sound could be heard from outside.
It was raining and the weather was hot and humid.
Su Ping woke up in the middle of the night because of the heat.
She turned on the light and planned to go downstairs to get some water.
It was quiet outside, with only the warm yellow wall lamp on the wall flickering with a faint light.
The clacking sound of slippers on the wooden stairs was particularly abrupt in the quiet night.
My shadow on the ground flickered under the light, as if someone was following me.
Su Ping suddenly felt a little creepy. She shouldn't have gone downstairs!
"The monsters and ghosts leave quickly..."
Su Ping kept muttering all the way and finally reached the first floor.
The window was not closed and I could hear the sound of rain outside.
She couldn't help but think of the people who walked in from outside.
It seems that he is still carrying a suitcase. Could it be that Lu Zhiyan is sick?
But that's not right. Lu Zhiyan's room is just diagonally opposite her room on the second floor, and those people are obviously not coming this way.
As soon as she finished getting the water, she turned around and saw a woman not far behind her staring at her.
Under the light, her face looked a little pale, and Su Ping was shocked.
It was the woman wearing the black cheongsam during the day.
When did she come? She walked without making any sound.
"Miss Su, why aren't you asleep yet so late?"
The woman grinned and greeted her.
The neat white teeth looked a little scary, and Su Ping patted his chest with lingering fear.
"I'm thirsty, so I thought I'd come down and get some water."
The woman stared thoughtfully at the cup in her hand and nodded.
"Miss Su, please go back to your room early after drinking the water. Mr. doesn't like people walking around in the house in the middle of the night."
What kind of weird rule is this?
Su Ping expressed his incomprehension but respect.
The woman watched Su Ping go upstairs, then withdrew her gaze and disappeared into the shadows.
There seemed to be a strong wind blowing outside. Su Ping's eyebrows jumped when he heard the windows banging at the end of the corridor.
The corridor was not very long, but because of the rain, the lights over there seemed to be broken, making it pitch black.
It was like an invisible giant net luring her over.
Su Ping swallowed and turned back to his room decisively.
The whistling sound of the wind continued behind her, and her intuition told her that there must be some unknown secrets in this house.
But curiosity often kills the cat.
When I woke up the next morning, the rain had stopped.
Mother Lu got up early, and when Su Ping went downstairs, she had already finished copying the scriptures and was burning incense.
Their family seems to pay special attention to these things.
Hearing the sound, Mother Lu put the incense in the stove and turned to look over.
"Is Pingping up?"
Mother Lu really likes her. Su Ping remembered the smell she smelled on Lu Zhiyan last night and couldn't help asking.
"Auntie, has Zhiyan been taking medicine recently?"
Mother Lu thought she was worried that Lu Zhiyan's poor health would cause inconvenience after marriage, so she quickly explained.
"When Ayan was born, a master said he had a cold constitution and wrote a prescription that he thought would be effective. Don't worry, Ayan is otherwise healthy."
Thinking of Tie Niu's matter, Su Ping asked: "Does Zhiyan have other brothers?"
The smile on Lu's mother's face faded, and she looked at her with a melancholy look.
"We had a child in our old age, and we only have one child, Ayan."
"Pingping, why do you ask that?"
Could it be that I am overthinking it?
Su Ping shook his head and said he was just asking out of curiosity.
After breakfast, Lu's mother wanted to keep Su Ping for a while, but seeing that she was determined to leave, she did not force her to stay and gave her a pair of bracelets as a gift.
After watching the two get into the car and leave, Mother Lu looked at the woman in cheongsam next to her.
"You said Pingping went downstairs last night?"
The woman nodded and briefly recounted what happened last night.
"She didn't go anywhere else?"
Mother Lu was a little worried when she thought about what happened last night.
"Don't worry, ma'am. I watched her drink the water and then go upstairs."
Only then did Mother Lu feel relieved. What happened last night was very sudden, and that matter must not be known to outsiders.
Mother Lu's gaze was somewhat sharp. The servants not far away seemed very scared. They lowered their heads and silently swept the dead branches and leaves that were blown down last night.
It seems that A Yan has to marry her as soon as possible to avoid any accidents.
After returning from the Lu family, Su Ping had a fever that night. When she received a call from Li Moyu, she was shocked by the tone of her voice.
She just took a nap, but when she woke up her voice became hoarse. Why?
"You don't even know you have a fever?"
Li Moyu came back after paying the fees, opened the door and started to scold Su Ping.
"The doctor said if you have a fever any longer, your brain might go crazy."
Su Ping had salt water on her hands and she forced a smile.
Li Moyu originally called to gossip about what happened between her and Lu Zhiyan last night, but seeing her lifeless look, she lost interest.
"You said without me, what would you do..."
Li Moyu leaned over and pinched Su Ping's face.
It’s soft and feels so good. Why is her skin so good?
Li Moyu couldn't let go and pinched it twice more.
Su Ping's face was pinched by her and it hurt: "Stop playing and be considerate of me, a patient."
