Chapter 131 The City Lord's Daughter Sends Help 8
After dinner, someone took Luo Chen back to his own yard.
After seeing Luo Chen off, the four men in the hall sat together. Meng Yuwei lost his fatherly look and immediately became serious and dignified. Meng Xingyuan and He Fancheng, who were just showing off, also immediately became serious.
Meng Yuwei asked with a hostile voice: "What's the situation with that bastard?"
He Fancheng said: "Uncle, what I found out is that after the mother and son were driven out, they went to that small town. When they first arrived, Ma was sick and was treated in the small clinic opened by my cousin and the old lady. My cousin went to help take care of her for a while.
The boy had a good appearance and was good at pretending, which attracted the cousin's heart. With Ma's eloquence, the cousin was fooled and treated Ma as her mother and was filial to her for two years.
It was the old lady who adopted my cousin who saw through the disguise of the mother and son and tried to bring my cousin back, but she died before she could do anything. "
When Meng Xingyuan heard that there was no effect yet, he quickly asked, "What is my attitude towards that bastard now?"
"Don't worry, cousin. My sister is very strong-willed. When the old lady died, the mother and son of Ma felt that my cousin had no one to rely on, so they revealed their true colors and said that it was an honor for my cousin to be her son's concubine. If I didn't, it would be bad. My cousin immediately distanced herself from the mother and son and said that she would never be a concubine."
Meng Xingyuan cursed: "This is simply too much bullying. Didn't you teach these two a lesson?"
He Fancheng smiled evilly and said, "What do you think?"
Meng Xingyuan became interested: "What did you do?"
He Fancheng: "That mother and son are still daydreaming, wanting to study hard before returning to the City Lord's Mansion. Naturally, I can't let them do that. I asked someone to tell the Lady of Xuanwu City about that kid, and then said that the kid was trying to hook up with our eldest daughter and then return to Xuanwu City. The rest is up to Lady Zhi, and she will definitely not let Zhiqing and his mother have an easy time."
Meng Yuwei nodded but said nothing. It was unclear whether he was satisfied or not.
There were a yard full of servants standing in Luo Chen's courtyard. At a glance, there were more than a dozen maids and old women, and eight servants who were in charge of moving things and running errands.
Luo Chen looked at the treatment that was comparable to that of a princess, and experienced once again that Qinglong City was the richest of the four cities.
Everyone in the yard bowed and welcomed her into the house. The house was splendidly decorated, and many of the things inside were what Luo Chen had seen before in the inner courtyard of the imperial palace. Is that right? This world is governed by four city lords together. There is no emperor. Although they are called city lords, they are equivalent to four small countries. No wonder the male protagonist in the previous life wanted to conquer the other three cities and become the ruler of the world.
This courtyard is equivalent to a small palace.
After taking a look, Luo Chen nodded with satisfaction, and found that a maid not far away breathed a sigh of relief, with joy on her face. Luo Chen immediately guessed that this maid was placed by her father by her side. Maybe he was afraid that she would have some inconvenience when she just returned home and was embarrassed to tell her father, so he sent someone to observe secretly and then report to him.
Luo Chen has also appreciated this favor and will repay it in the future.
After a night's rest, Meng Xingyuan came early the next morning and waited for Luo Chen in the hall. Luo Chen got up, tied a simple bun, put a few small pearl flowers in her hair, and came out.
Meng Xingyuan is five years older than Luo Chen. He was already five years old when his mother died, so he naturally remembers what his mother looked like. Now looking at his sister, she looks so much like his mother. Thinking of how his mother was thinking about his sister before she died, his heart aches, thinking that his mother would be very happy if she were still alive.
Because she looks very much like her father, my mother has always hoped that her daughter would be more like her. Now my sister does look very much like her, but it's a pity that my mother can't see it.
As soon as Luo Chen came in, she saw her brother staring at her in a daze: "Hello, brother."
Meng Xingyuan smiled and said, "You and I don't need to be so polite. These etiquettes are for outsiders to see. We can just be more casual among ourselves."
"Okay." Luo Chen agreed crisply. Fortunately, this is not a feudal society. She doesn't want to be bound by feudal ethics anymore. She also wants to have more contact with handsome men.
"Did Luoluo have a good rest yesterday? If you feel uncomfortable, tell me and I will correct it for you immediately."
Luo Chen smiled and said, "No, it's very comfortable, no need to change it, I like it very much, I have lived in such a nice house before."
"I'm glad you like it. How was your rest?"
"It's great. I don't have to get up early. I can sleep until the sun is high in the sky, and no one will urge me to get up to work." Luo Chen seemed to be really satisfied with this kind of life, and his face looked very happy.
Meng Xingyuan asked distressedly: "Did you have to get up early every day to work?"
Luo Chen nodded: "Yes, I run a small clinic. Every day people come to see grandma for treatment. I have to get up early to get medicine, then go up the mountain to collect herbs, process the herbs and dry them. It was okay in the past few years, but after grandma died, I have to do all the treatment and medicine making by myself. I have to get up early, otherwise what will happen if I delay the patient's treatment."
Meng Xingyuan: "Really? It's very hard. You don't have to suffer anymore. Just enjoy your life happily every day and do whatever you want."
Luo Chen said in distress: "Ah? You can do whatever you want? But apart from knowing some medical skills and needlework, I don't know anything else. What should I do for a living?"
Meng Xingyuan said with a smile: "Brother means that you can do whatever you want. I'm not asking you to go out and find a job. Our family doesn't need you to go out and earn money to support the family."
Luo Chen looked at his elder brother in confusion: "I don't know what I should do either."
Meng Xingyuan touched her head and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't know. Think about it slowly. Go out and play every day, and you will always find something you want to do."
Luo Chen nodded.
"Do you want to go out and play with your brother?"
"want."
After following Meng Xingyuan out of the City Lord's Mansion, there was a carriage and a team of guards waiting at the door of the mansion. They helped Luo Chen get on the carriage and went to the largest jewelry store and clothing store in the city.
The things inside were dazzling, so Meng Xingyuan waved his hand and booked the third floor, letting Luo Chen choose by himself. If he liked anything, he could take it back, since this store was his own after all.
The maids brought by Luo Chen went out together, looking for various clothes and jewelry to try on Luo Chen.
Time passed by unknowingly while the woman was choosing clothes. Luo Chen didn't know how much time had passed, but when he looked at Meng Xingyuan, he found that he was not impatient at all, but was sitting alone reading a book and drinking tea.
Luo Chen was also tired, so she took the clothes and jewelry that the maid had prepared for her and prepared to leave.
I thought I was going home to have dinner with my father, but I was taken to a restaurant instead. This is also a restaurant opened by the Meng family, and it is the best place in the city center.
