As soon as she sat down, Kong Rui heard a commotion outside.
When she looked out, she saw a servant running over hurriedly. “Young
Master, the Li family has sent someone over.”
Nie Yin’s expression darkened.
When he faced Kong Rui, he put on a gentle expression. “Miss, wait for me here for a while. I’ll come after dealing with some matters.”
With that, Nie Yin left quickly before Kong Rui could respond.
As Kong Rui watched Nie Yin leave quickly, she knew that the Li family’s visit was probably out of Nie Yin’s expectations. It might even affect Nie Yin’s plan.
Nie Yin quickly disappeared, but Kong Rui still had two maidservants following her.
Kong Rui instructed one of the maidservants, “Can you get me something to eat? I’m a little hungry.”
The maid also saw that the girl in front of her was treated quite well by the young master, so she immediately ran towards the kitchen without delay.
Kong Rui glanced around the garden in front of her before turning to the maid behind her.
This maid was clearly different from the previous one. It seemed that she had some martial arts skills.
She nodded at the maid and said in a low voice, “Can you take me out for a walk?”
“I’m not familiar with this place, so I’m afraid I’ll make Young Master Nie unhappy if I take the wrong path.”
The maid didn’t respond immediately. After a while, she nodded and walked up to Kong Rui. “Miss, please follow me!”
Kong Rui smiled gratefully and followed the maid out.
As the two of them walked around the garden. Kong Rui looked attracted by the flowers and plants in the garden.
The maidservant followed Kong Rui warily.
Kong Rui circled behind an orange pellet lily and leaned forward, as if looking for something.
Seeing this, the maid walked forward. “Miss, are you looking for something?”
Kong Rui didn’t turn to look at the maidservant and continued to search among the flowers. “I clearly saw a small white beast enter just now, but it’s gone now.”
“Small white beast?” The maid was stunned at first, then she was shocked and bent down to look for it as well.
Kong Rui moved away so that the maid could stick her head into the flowers.
In the next moment, the maid smelled a strange fragrance enter her nose. Right on the heels of that, her body went limp and she fell into the flowers.
Kong Rui reached out and pulled her back before moving towards a stone cave that she had already chosen.
After throwing the maid into the cave, Kong Rui clapped her hands and looked around.
“This girl is really vigilant. Fortunately, I know that the white tamarin is Nie Yin’s treasured pet. Otherwise, it would have been quite difficult to drug her.”
Kong Rui walked towards Nie Lin’s courtyard according to her previous memories.
She had not heard anyone in the Nie residence mention Nie Lin in the past two days, so it was very likely that Nie Lin had encountered something.
It was better for her to take a look herself.
When she arrived outside Nie Lin’s courtyard, Kong Rui felt spiritual power fluctuations around her.
It seemed that there were a few powerhouses hiding here secretly protecting Nie Lin.
In that case, Nie Lin must be in this courtyard at this moment!
It wasn’t easy for her to find such an opportunity, so Kong Rui didn’t intend to give up.
Just as she was about to walk into the courtyard, she saw a black shadow suddenly flash in front of her.
Kong Rui pretended to be frightened by the other party and staggered back.
That person reacted quickly and grabbed Kong Rui’s arm to support her.
Kong Rui looked at the other party with lingering fear. “Who are you?”
That person glared at Kong Rui with a gloomy expression. “Who are you? How dare you barge in here? Do you want to die?”
Kong Rui looked at the other party innocently, as if she was frightened by him. “I… I was invited into the residence by Young Master Nie.”
“Young Master?” That person still stared at Kong Rui warily. “Young Master didn’t arrange for anyone to follow you?”
Although Nie Chong had been guarding Nie Lin, he had heard that Young Master had invited a lady into the residence.
This girl looked dim-witted, but he didn’t let down his guard.
“I was hungry, so I asked a girl to bring me some food to eat,” Kong Rui said aggrievedly. “After waiting for a long time, that girl didn’t return, so I asked another girl to bring me around.”
“But unexpectedly, she actually disappeared…”
