Lunch is ready.

During the meal, Li Muchen asked the housekeeper and all the servants to leave, leaving only him and Lu Sheng in the big restaurant.

Surrounded by the classical decoration of European aristocrats, the table is filled with all kinds of delicious dishes, which makes people very appetizing.

The table was so long that Lu Sheng wondered if the person sitting at one end could hear clearly the person at the other end.

So she didn't care about the dining etiquette and rules, and directly moved a chair and sat beside Li Muchen.

"It's too far to sit there, I want to be closer to you."

The tone is casual and direct, and very natural.

It was probably the first time Li Muchen saw someone talking to him like this. After being startled for a moment, he pulled Lu Sheng's chair closer with a smile.

"I don't know what you like to eat, but I think you should like Chinese food more, so I asked someone to prepare some according to different cuisines."

Lu Sheng really likes Chinese food.

She stayed in England for so long in her previous life, and she couldn't get used to the food there. Chinese food is much better than Western food.

Staying by the man's side made Lu Sheng relax, and he had a good appetite and mood. He ate two small bowls of rice.

But Li Muchen ate very little and didn't talk much, basically just watching her eat from the sidelines.

Lu Sheng turned to look at the man, frowning: "Why do you eat so little? Is it like this usually?"

"I'm used to it, don't worry," Li Muchen wiped the girl's mouth with a napkin, and said in a low voice, "Are the people from the Lu family being harsh on you?"

Probably because she ate a lot this meal, and wondered if she was not full at Lu's house.

Lu Sheng said casually: "The rice is still provided, but it's just that I don't have an appetite."

Li Muchen suddenly paused, and his tone became deep: "...Do you know that someone from the Lu family wants to kill you?"

Lu Sheng also had a meal, somewhat beyond the man's expectation, her tone was calm: "I know."

"The night I met you, someone pretended to be the person who came to pick me up at the station, took me to a remote alley, and almost strangled me."

"I cheated that man by pretending to be dead. After he left, I got up from the ground and met you after I went out."

Just a few words, but reminded the man of the dangerous situation of the girl that night, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, his eyes became cold and sharp.

"You've been at the Lu family for a few days, do you know who the person who wants to kill you is?" Li Mu lowered his eyes, "Do you want me to help you solve this matter?"

"I know," Lu Sheng met the man's gaze, "but I don't need your help, I can solve it myself."

Although they just met each other not long ago, Li Muchen has unfounded confidence in one thing.

The people of the Lu family regarded Lu Sheng as an illegitimate daughter who grew up in the countryside, but he knew that the girl in front of him was far more powerful than they imagined.

Since she knew everything clearly and said she didn't need his help, she naturally had her own arrangements.

So Li Muchen changed the subject and asked: "...do you have a marriage contract with that Fu Chen from the Fu family?"

Hearing Li Muchen suddenly ask about this, Lu Sheng suddenly laughed: "I thought you wouldn't ask about this matter."

Li Muchen paused and raised his eyes: "Why do you think I don't know how to ask?"

"Because..." Lu Sheng suddenly approached, "The person I'm interested in is you, so why would I like someone like Fu Chen?"

"That engagement can be canceled at any time, you, just pretend it doesn't exist."

Seeing the girl's suddenly enlarged face, and the sweet fragrance lingering in her nostrils, Li Muchen couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The girl is really good at teasing him.

"After dinner, let's go to your bedroom and go to bed."

"……Um?"

Seeing that Li Muchen was stunned again, Lu Sheng's mood became better, and he said with crooked eyebrows: "I mean to help you with acupuncture, don't think about it."

"……it is good."

It's not that he wants to be crooked, it's obviously her who said it crookedly.

Lu Sheng followed Li Mushen back to the bedroom.

Li Muchen's bedroom is a nearly [-]-square-meter suite, with a living room, cloakroom, bathroom and toilet, and a study room. The decoration is mainly in black and gray, just like his own dressing style.

Li Muchen probably had a cleanliness habit, he said he wanted to take a shower and change clothes, and asked Lu Sheng to wait outside first.

Hearing the sound of water coming from the bathroom, Lu Sheng leaned back on the sofa beside the bed, but suddenly frowned.

There seemed to be a strange smell in the air.

And this smell...somewhat familiar.

Lu Sheng's relaxed expression instantly became cold.

She stood up, carefully searched for the source of the smell, suddenly stopped beside Li Muchen's bed, and bent down beside the pillow.

It's the smell of juan grass.

Lu Sheng took a deep breath and his expression turned serious.Raise your hand to turn the pillow over on the bed, unzip the zipper and take out the pillow insert.

This latex pillow insert is from an extremely expensive foreign brand, and it doesn't look anything out of the ordinary.

Lu Sheng frowned, and directly reached out to tear the pillow from the middle.

The bedroom door was left open, Chen An came to look for Li Muchen, wanting to ask him if he had any other plans for today.

As a result, as soon as he came over, he saw Lu Sheng standing by the bed tearing the pillow core with his hands, and couldn't help being stunned: "...Miss Lu Sheng, what are you doing?"

Lu Sheng didn't raise his eyes, and his hands kept moving.

Chen Yu came over without knowing why, and was shocked when he saw that the white pillow core was torn in half by Lu Sheng, and some green powder fell out of it.

"This... what is this?"

The powder had penetrated into the pillow core, dyed the surrounding area green, and a particularly delicate smell permeated the air.

"Tezhu Chen, where did this pillow come from?" Lu Sheng immediately looked at Chen An.

"All the things in the house should be purchased by special people arranged by the housekeeper. I have to ask who bought them and where they bought them from."

Seeing Lu Sheng's serious expression, Chen An couldn't help becoming nervous, "What's wrong, miss, is there something wrong with this pillow? What are these powders?"

Lu Sheng took a deep breath and looked at Chen An: "Let me ask you, when did Li Muchen start sleeping on this pillow?"

"This..." Chen Yu usually helps Li Muchen with business matters, and he really doesn't know about such trivial matters, so he thought for a while and said, "I think... about a month ago?"

One month.

Fortunately, it wasn't too long.

Lu Sheng continued to ask: "Li Muchen, did he sleep poorly and eat very little during this time?"

"Mr. Li has not been sleeping very well, and he has a stomach problem, but Miss, you said this..." Chen An took a breath, "It seems that Mr. Li's sleep quality has indeed worsened in the past month, and he has very little sleep time. .”

Hearing this, a sharp light flashed across Lu Sheng's eyes, and the hand holding the pillow tightened involuntarily.

"The powder in this pillow is the crumbs of juan grass."

"Juan grass is a plant that can be used as medicine, but it is itself poisonous. The smell is light and fragrant. In fact, smelling it for a long time can make people suffer from neurasthenia, insomnia, dreaminess, and loss of appetite."

"People who have been in contact for a long time will have various adverse reactions, such as difficulty falling asleep, being awakened by nightmares in the middle of the night, and in severe cases, even hallucinations, damage to the brain nerves, and people's reactions becoming slow."

"And this kind of damage to the cranial nerves is irreversible."

"What?" After hearing Lu Sheng's words, Chen An gasped.
