Chapter 413 Crazy
Chapter 413 Crazy
Qin Huiyin stroked the big dog's fur and said, "This breed doesn't seem to be something we can find here."
"This was shipped from the Western Regions. When I bought it, it was only this big..." Nalan You gestured, "Two years have passed, and it's grown so much. Don't be fooled by its huge size, it's actually very gentle and has a good temper."
Qin Huiyin particularly liked furry things, so the more she chatted with Nalan You, the more they got along. Tang Luwu was a little worried that it might attack people at first, but seeing how docile and comfortable it was in Qin Huiyin's hands, she bravely touched it and immediately liked the feel of it.
"Its name is Maomao." said Nalan You.
The banquet was about to begin, and several girls went to the lobby to have their meal.
Li Taohua, as the wife, was placed at the table for the wives of fifth-rank officials. Qin Huiyin and Tang Luwu were also seated at the table with daughters of officials of the same rank.
Qin Huiyin didn't know them, so she didn't need to socialize and finished her meal quietly.
After the meal, Tang Luwu couldn't stand the awkward atmosphere anymore, so she used the excuse of going out for a walk and took Qin Huiyin away.
"Is my elder brother also at the banquet?" Tang Luwu asked.
"Not only is my eldest brother here, but my younger brother is here too," Qin Huiyin said. "The old lady at the Imperial Censor's residence is holding a birthday banquet, and everyone with a little status in the court has to come to celebrate. Even sworn enemies have to put on a show at this time."
"Being an official is really tiring," Tang Luwu said. "Brother, dealing with people like this every day must be very hard!"
"Excuse me, are you the young lady from the Tang family?" a servant came over and asked.
Qin Huiyin and Tang Luwu looked at each other. Tang Luwu said, "We are."
"Lord Tang has drunk too much and is resting in the pavilion. I wonder if you two ladies would be able to go over and take care of him?"
"You lead the way, we'll go there now." Qin Huiyin said.
"Yes."
Qin Huiyin and Tang Lvwu followed the servants forward. Not long after, several maids came over with soup bowls. As one of them passed by Tang Lvwu and Qin Huiyin, she twisted her ankle and the soup bowl flew out, spilling the soup all over Tang Lvwu.
"Miss, please forgive me, Miss, please forgive me..." The maid knelt down.
"Sister Luwu, are you hurt?" Qin Huiyin asked.
Tang Luwu frowned: "Fortunately the soup is warm, not hot, otherwise..."
"Although it's warm, the soup is covered in oil. I'm afraid you won't feel comfortable like this. Besides, there are quite a few people in the garden. If someone sees us... Minghui Mingjing, take the young lady to change her clothes."
"Brother..." Tang Luwu was worried.
"I'll go and take a look." Qin Huiyin said.
After Tang Luwu left, Qin Huiyin looked at the servant in front of her.
Was that an accident?
It's not her fault for thinking too much. After all, it has been shown in many TV dramas that scenes like falling into the water, getting clothes dirty, accidentally getting lost, etc. are followed by other plots.
She looked around and found that the road was very familiar. It didn't look like they were taking her to some remote courtyard to give her an antidote.
Just when Qin Huiyin was daydreaming and her mind was full of soap opera plots, danger came.
"Miss..." Zhilan shouted, "Isn't that Maomao?"
Qin Huiyin looked up and saw Nalan You's hair.
At this time, Maomao stared at her with red eyes, not as gentle and kind as before.
Qin Huiyin instinctively sensed something was wrong and said to Zhilan and Sujin, "Let's step back and don't get any closer to it."
The servant beside him said, "Why is the young lady's pet here? Where are the people who take care of the young lady's pet? Someone come..."
While the servant was speaking, Maomao barked and pounced towards Qin Huiyin.
"Miss..." Zhilan shouted and stood in front of Qin Huiyin.
However, Maomao was too big. He went crazy and grabbed Zhilan with one claw, kicking her away.
Zhilan fell out.
Su Jin also stood in front of Qin Huiyin.
"Someone come...someone come..." the servant shouted.
Maomao grinned and rushed towards Qin Huiyin.
Qin Huiyin watched Maomao kick the servant away, kick Zhilan away, and then kick Sujin away. He rushed straight towards her and pulled off the sachet from his waist and threw it at her.
She ran back and saw a small lake and jumped in.
"Miss..." Zhilan and Sujin shouted.
Plop! Someone followed suit and jumped into the water.
"Was that the young master of the Zhu family?" Zhilan asked Su Jin.
"He's wearing a mask, so it must be him." Su Jin said, "Let's go find the young lady quickly. We must not let him find her first."
"I can't swim!"
"I don't know how either. What should I do?"
The two maids stamped their feet in anxiety.
"You...quickly go find some people to rescue them!" Su Jin said to the servant, "Preferably maids. Go quickly!"
Zhilan and Sujin couldn't swim, so even if they jumped in at this moment, they would only leave two more bodies and would not be able to save Qin Huiyin at all. They were so anxious that they wished they could go back to the past and learn how to swim first.
However, what they didn't know was that Qin Huiyin was good at swimming.
Not long after Qin Huiyin jumped into the water, she heard someone diving down, followed by someone quickly swimming over. Not daring to delay, she used all her strength to quickly leave this dangerous place.
"Huh..." Qin Huiyin was tired from swimming and emerged from the water.
She wiped the water stains off her face, looked around, and asked in confusion: "Where is this place?"
The TV show wasn't lying to her; the banquet was definitely a crucial part of the plot. Just now, she'd been thinking that since she wasn't the heroine, the plot wouldn't come to her anytime soon. Now, it seemed she'd underestimated her role.
Although she's not the heroine, she's the hero's sister. Judging by the number of appearances, she must be an important supporting actress, and her salary must be second only to the hero and heroine, right?
"Do you need help?" A gentle voice sounded.
Qin Huiyin looked up and saw a handsome young man in silver clothes standing on the shore.
"Bai Qiu?"
Puyang Qiubai looked at her with a smile: "Nice to meet you again, Miss Qin."
"Why are you here?" Qin Huiyin was surprised.
"Are you really not going to come up first?" Puyang Qiubai said, putting his cloak on the stone beside him and turning around. "No one else is here yet. Come up and change your clothes, or someone will come over soon."
"Thank you."
Qin Huiyin went ashore and wrapped herself in Puyang Qiubai's cloak.
"Where is your family? I'll send someone to inform them."
"My mother, my sister, and my eldest brother are all at the banquet." Qin Huiyin said, "Please send someone to notify my mother and my sister and ask them to bring my clothes over."
After that, she asked again, "You are also a guest in the mansion, right? Isn't it inappropriate for me to trouble you like this? After all, it is not convenient for you to move around the mansion."
"I'm not inconvenienced. Just wait here." Puyang Qiubai pointed to a room not far away. "That's an empty room. Wait there."
