"Ahem..."
Lu Dingning had an attack of bronchial asthma caused by lily pollen allergy.
Now Lu Dingning, besides feeling his throat itchy, also feels that he is a little out of breath.
My head was dizzy and my vision started to blur.
Lu Dingning felt that if she couldn't rush out of here in ten minutes, she would really confess to being here for the rest of her life...
So, Lu Dingning once again smashed the stone door with all his might.
"Is anyone outside?" The bones and joints of her hands were almost torn and bleeding. But as if she didn't notice the pain of these wounds, she stubbornly pounded on the door with her fist.
"Open the door!"
"..."
After yelling like this several times, Lu Dingning felt that the symptoms of breathlessness seemed to be getting worse.
At this moment, she was already powerlessly slid on the edge of the stone door.
"I don't want to die."
Her voice was obviously much lower than before.
"Zong Jize, where are you..."
When the name was finally called softly, Lu Dingning, whose whole body slid to the ground, closed his eyes weakly. A crystal tear slid down the end of her eye...
"Madam, the master is a little tired now and is resting."
When Shu Zhilan and Lu Yining arrived at the old castle where Old Smith lived, Paul was guarding outside, blocking his way.
"Paul, I just made him a few desserts that he likes, and I plan to take them in for him to taste." Shu Zhilan said, and Lu Yining, who was on the side, passed the desserts in his hand to Paul.
In fact, these desserts were randomly selected by Shu Zhilan from the kitchen just now.
Before Lu Dingning returned safely, how could Shu Zhilan, her mother, be in the mood to make desserts for others?
"I'm sorry, ma'am." Paul said this with a blank expression after glancing at the desserts in Lu Yining's hand.
"It seems that Paul, you have stayed in this manor for so long that you have forgotten who is the owner of this manor!"
Shu Zhilan looked at Paul coldly, with a strong aura.
With her like this, she couldn't see that she was crying in the room just now.
It's just that Lu Yining's heart is not only proud but also full of pity seeing Shu Zhilan who has recovered to a strong aura in such a short period of time.
No one can easily transform, and no one can easily develop a strong aura.
Whether it's Lu Dingning or Shu Zhilan, they should have experienced many such things during their time in country F, which made them what they are today.
Therefore, Lu Yining really feels sorry for the two most important women in his life now.
If this incident can really pass through safely, he vowed to bring them back to Country Z no matter what.
"No, Paul dare not consider himself the owner of the manor, I just..." Under Shu Zhilan's cold reprimand, Paul could only change his tone.
But Shu Zhilan didn't wait for him to finish what he wanted to say, and interrupted him directly: "Since you are not the owner of this manor, you have no right to control which corner of the manor I want to go to."
After saying this, Shu Zhilan bumped Paul away with her shoulder, and led Lu Yining into the castle.
After walking up the stairs quickly, they quickly came to a room on the second floor.
The door to the room wasn't locked, it was just ajar.
After Shu Zhilan and Lu Yining exchanged glances, they pushed open the door.
This room is the one most frequently used by the old Smith after he lived in the Smith Manor recently.
Moreover, Shu Zhilan speculated that the key to the secret room that only Smith's heirs could enter, he should only guard in this room.
If the old guy is not in this room now, then they can double the contents of this room first to see where the key is.
Moreover, Shu Zhilan was very aware of Old Smith's weird temper.
If he is in this room, the door is usually locked.
But this room is not locked at present, which means that he is most likely not in this room.
Shu Zhilan pushed open the door, but there was indeed no old man Smith. However, they saw another person in this room.
"William? What are you doing here?" When Shu Zhilan spoke, William, who was searching for something in the room, suddenly froze.
"Ma'am!" William turned around, and hastily motioned for Shu Zhilan to mute his voice.
Then, he quickly came to Shu Zhilan and said to her, "Master Zong asked me to find the key."
"Did you find it?" It turns out that their purpose is the same?
"No. The old man doesn't seem to have left the key in this room." William was a little annoyed when he said this: "I almost turned this room upside down, and I didn't see it."
"I guess it might be placed in the study, or the place where he usually drinks tea." Old Smith has recently fallen in love with the tea ceremony in country Z. After moving into the manor, they specially set up a place for drinking tea.
For a while, apart from the bedroom, Old Smith spent the longest time in that place.
So Shu Zhilan also guessed that the old man probably hid the key in that place.
"No, someone is here." When Shu Zhilan and William said this, Lu Yining stood guard at the door.
Just now, he heard footsteps coming from over there, and they were approaching the room they were in.
"Madam, I'll check these two places first, and I'll leave this to you. The two of you look for an opportunity to see if the old man's key is on you."
After William explained something, he jumped out of the window directly.
Shu Zhilan also quickly snatched the plate of dessert from Lu Yining's hand and threw it on the ground.
Then, Shu Zhilan began to scold.
"Look, why can't you do this well. Make the master's room so dirty, he will be angry when he comes back later."
When Shu Zhilan said this, she also motioned for Lu Yining to squat down and pick up the pieces of the plate.
Lu Yining naturally followed Shu Zhilan's suggestion and squatted down, pretending to try to clean up these things.
It was at this time that Old Smith pushed open the door.
Seeing Shu Zhilan and Lu Yining, Old Smith was a little displeased: "What are you doing here?"
"Honey, I made some desserts in the kitchen, and I plan to send them to you for a try. But who knew that when she opened the door, she knocked over the desserts."
When Shu Zhilan said this, he still had a headache.
"Okay, I'll let Paul come over here to clean up. You go out, I want to rest for a while." Old Smith said after glancing at Lu Yining who was squatting on the ground picking up the broken plates.
"Are you tired? Otherwise, I'll give you a press." Shu Zhilan naturally noticed that Old Smith didn't want them to stay in this room for a while, but she had to cooperate with William.
