Chapter 667: Liu Qing and Cheng Gui (14)
Liu Xinyue sat on the cold floor as she looked at Ming Shu’s wide smile. There was a ball of fire in her heart and she felt embarrassed.
She actually made her fell in front of the guest.
And from that expression, she was trying to tell her that she did it on purpose!
“Xinyue, are you okay?” Father Liu got a shock too. He went to help Liu Xinyue up. “Why were you so clumsy?”
“Father, it was little sister.” Liu Xinyue complained softly.
Since there were outsiders here, she couldn’t get angry but her father could help her.
Father Liu thought back about what happened. The chair was definitely behind Liu Xinyue so why would she fell down? Soone did it on purpose.
However, Cheng Gui was present so Father Liu didn’t get angry on the spot. He signalled at Liu Xinyue with his eyes and asked her to sit down.
The atmosphere at the breakfast table was really weird. This rich and useless Lord Cheng seed dissatisfied about the breakfast and put down his spoon after only eating a bit of it.
Ming Shu finished her breakfast and prepared to leave.
Don’t leave?
If she don’t leave, was suppose to wait for Father Liu to scold her?
“Master Liu, can you let Second Young Lady Liu bring around the village?” Cheng Gui suddenly said.
Father Liu quickly replied, “Liu Qing is really rowdy and has no manners. I can let Xinyue bring you around...”
Cheng Gui looked at Liu Xinyue. “I heard that Miss Xinyue is already engaged. It is not good for to go out with her. The Second Young Lady is more suitable. What do you think, Master Liu?”
Once she heard about her engagent, Liu Xinyue’s nails dug into her palm.
That was the one thing she didn’t want to admit.
How could soone like Li Shen be her husband?
Since Cheng Gui had given his words, Father Liu could only say to Ming Shu, “Liu Qing, bring Lord Cheng around the village. Treat him well and don’t create trouble. Did you hear ?”
“Hoh hoh.” Ming Shu ran away.
Everyone: “...”
Father Liu was so angry and embarrased. “Lord Cheng, this...”
Cheng Gui got up and said mysteriously, “Your daughter is really lively. Since she is not willing to do it, I will take a look around myself.”
“Lord Cheng, shall I send soone?”
“No need.”
Father Liu watched as Cheng Gui left with his two pretty maids. He couldn’t help but exclaid that people from the Capital were indeed different. Even the servant girls were different.
“Father Liu, who is this Lord Cheng?” Liu Xinyue frowned and asked Father Liu. As a person who read the whole story, she didn’t know about this person at all.
“I heard that he is from the Cheng family at the Capital. That very powerful Cheng family.” Father Liu sighed. “I don’t know what Lord Cheng is doing here too.”
From the Capital.
Could it be... but he shouldn’t be here so early!
“He didn’t say anything?”
“No.” He tried to ask him but that Cheng Gui didn’t give him any useful information. He just appeared to be replying him.
“Why did you let him stay at our residence then?”
“He want to stay here. What can I do? These people are powerful. How can small people like us provoke them. The county magistrate personally send soone to tell to treat him well.”
Liu Xinyue went into deep thought.
“Xinyue.” Father Liu suddenly looked at her. “I heard from the county magistrate that this Lord Cheng was the onlyson of the Cheng family. Xinyue, I know that you don’t want to marry Li Shen. I don’t like Li Shen too. There is a chance now...”
The thoughts that Liu Xinyue didn’t dare to have started popping out due to what Father Liu said.
If she could grab hold of this big figure, would she still have to stay here?
Also...
“Father, is there a lot of people who know that Liu Qing was adopted?”
Father Liu though for a while. “Quite a lot of people knew about it... what’s the matter?”
He didn’t hide the matter that ti since a baby couldn’t just appear from nowhere right? His wife wasn’t pregnant so the child couldn’t have drop from the sky too.
“Father...” Liu Xinyue leaned towards Father Liu and whispered in his ear.
“This...”
“Father, listen to .” Liu Xinyue looked really serious.
Father Liu didn’t know what Liu Xinyue wanted to do. He finally relented arrayfter Liu Xinyue persuaded him for a while.
Cheng Gui caught up with Ming Shu the mont she left the Liu residence.
A whole platoon of servant girls and imperial bodyguards followed behind him. They seed out of place in this small village road.
Cheng Gui strode alongside Ming Shu. “Are you afraid of ?”
“I am afraid of you?” Ming Shu scoffed. “Why will I be afraid of you?”
“Then why are you hiding from ? Cheng Gui said, “You can’t be shy, right?”
Cheng Gui started to appear like a playboy as he reach the end of his sentence.
Shy your head!
Am I soone who will be shy?
“Will you treat a stranger nicely?” Ming Shu asked him back. “I am not familiar with you too. Who knows what motive you have.”
I did it for my safety, okay?
Cheng Gui placed his hands behind his head. “We have already t each other two tis. We are not stranger now, right? Also, you said that you don’t like . Why?”
“You don’t look like soone I will like.” Ming Shu walked faster.
Cheng Gui: “...” What kind of reason was that?
Cheng Gui looked at Ming Shu’s back and caught up with her after a while. “Do you know how many little girls in the Capital is eyeing on this face?”
“I don’t want to know how many little girls want to strip your face off. Please don’t follow .”
Strip? Strip it off??!
Cheng Gui was certained that he heard correctly. A chill ran up his spine.
Other people would be thinking about how this handso face enchanted girls and guys. Why did she think about such a scary thing? Striping off the face?
F**k, an idiot’s thinking is indeed different from that of a normal person.
By the ti Cheng Gui regained his thought, Ming Shu had disappeared.
The servant girl asked carefully, “Lord, are we still walking?”
“Walk for what, go back.”
“...”
“Officer, you must have made a mistake. Why will my husband kill soone? Do not accuse a good person.”
Ming Shu just arrived at the Qin family and heard a pitiful scream from the household beside them. Many villagers were crowding around and looking at the commotion.
The officers held a man and ca out. The man’s face was pale. He seed to be in shock. A woman followed behind them and tried to stop them from bringing the man away.
“My husband don’t even dare to kill a chicken. How can h kill soone. You must have made a mistake.” The woman’s voice was really loud. You could hear her from far away.
“Don’t interrupt our work. If not, we will take you back with us too!” The officer shouted with a black face. “Move it, why are you all crowding around for?”
“Omg, he killed Liu San’s wife. He looked like a really humble person last ti.”
“You can’t judge a book by its cover.”
“I am actually living so close to a murderer. This is so scary.”
“Luckily he got caught...”
The villagers looked over in condemn. The woman scread even louder and grabbed the man’s elbow to stop the officers from taking him away.
“Shut up, you all. Zhu Zi will not kill anyone.” The woman scread. “You all must have made a mistake.”
“We will know if this is a mistake after the interrogation.” The officer said, “Do not disrupt us!!”
The woman was pulled away by an officer and her husband was dragged off.
