Chapter 223 Interview
The housekeeper must be a reliable person. There are many secrets in the family. If they are heard by someone with ulterior motives, there will be some trouble!
Fen Tao thought for a moment and said, "Actually, some time ago, the Third Master often came to visit, hoping to find a job for Madam. At that time, Madam was busy with the Huaxiang Building, so I sent someone back."
Zhu Mingqing frowned: "He can't!"
She let Luo Wentao be the housekeeper because she was afraid that he would steal everything in the house.
Fen Tao shook her head: "I was thinking of the Fourth Master, do you have any impression of him?"
Zhu Mingqing thought for a long time before a tall and thin man appeared in his mind. He was usually too silent and was a person who was easily overlooked.
"The Fourth Master also came with the Third Master that day, but when he heard that the Third Master had been rejected, he went back without saying anything." Fen Tao suggested, "The Fourth Master has always been cautious. What do you think, Madam?"
Zhu Mingqing still felt that something was wrong.
After all, the housekeeper serves their main house, which is inconsistent with Luo Wen'an's identity.
"Why don't I go and ask?" Fen Tao asked tentatively, "After all, the Fourth Master is a member of the Luo family, and he took good care of us when he was in the palace. Perhaps the Fourth Master would like to come too."
"Forget it, let's discuss this matter later. It'll be some time before Dr. Hua comes back anyway, so you can take this opportunity to look at other candidates."
…
That day, Luo Fu had just returned from outside. She didn't know what she was thinking about, but a shy smile appeared on her face from time to time.
"Miss, you are back. Madam has been looking for you." Hongmei was walking back and forth outside the gate. As soon as she saw someone coming, she immediately stepped forward to greet them.
Luo Fu paused, "What does mother want from me?"
She asked as she walked, and her pace quickened.
Mingwuyuan.
Zhu Mingqing's residence.
Luo Fu checked herself to see if there was anything wrong with her, then she respectfully walked into the room, bowing slightly and saying, "May you live a long and healthy life, mother."
When Zhu Mingqing heard these four words, the corners of his eyes twitched unconsciously.
"Sit down and wait for your sister-in-law."
Luo Fu was wondering what exactly he wanted to talk to her and her sister-in-law about.
As soon as Wu Yunyun arrived, Zhu Mingqing assigned them a task.
"Find a place where we can build a school that can accommodate at least a hundred people."
"Mother, are it just me and my sister-in-law who have to do it? My brothers and the others..." Luo Fu paused. Now she only had an unreliable elder brother at home.
"I'll give you seven days, get busy." Zhu Mingqing simply stated the task, but it made Luo Fu and Wu Yunyun worried.
The two knew nothing about what was happening outside, and after much thought, the only person they could ask for advice was their third brother (third younger brother).
…
Tongpanfu.
Wang Tongpan had just returned from the provincial capital when he heard his wife talk about the various things that happened in Guancheng, especially the lawsuit between the Luo and Xu families, and finally invited Lord Shang from the provincial capital!
"Master, I always feel that if it weren't for Lord Shang, the third young master of the Luo family might not be able to return home safely." Mrs. Wang expressed her doubts.
Wang Tongpan couldn't help but think of this trip to the provincial capital. No wonder he was sent to do this kind of thing not long after he arrived in Guancheng.
It turned out that they were trying to get him out of the way!
Magistrate Liu is so hostile to the Luo family. It seems I have to be more cautious in the future.
I also heard that Prince Huai's Mansion is already investigating a human trafficking case. If it has anything to do with Lord Liu, we must stay away from him as much as possible.
"Madam, if you have nothing to do in the future, don't get too close to the prefect's wife," he warned.
Mrs. Wang asked doubtfully, "But what happened?"
Wang Tongpan shook his head, his chubby cheeks trembling: "Just in case."
"Okay." Madam Wang asked again, "What about the Luo family?"
She stared at the other person intently.
Wang Tongpan noticed something and immediately said, "Of course we can't stay away!"
Mrs. Wang was satisfied: "That's pretty good!"
If she has to avoid even the benefactor who saved her life, she will have to give her husband a lesson in how to clench her fist!
The next day, as soon as Wang Tongpan arrived at the government office, he received a letter from Zhu Mingqing. When he opened it in his office, he couldn't help but frown.
"You want to discuss something with me?!" Magistrate Liu was incredulous.
Wang Tongpan said respectfully, "Yes, I don't know what it means, but she said..."
"say what?"
Wang Tongpan raised his head and said, "If you don't keep your appointment, you will regret it!"
Prefect Liu immediately laughed angrily: "You really can't see your own identity!"
Do you really think she is still the same Crown Prince Consort of Luo Palace and the wife of General Zhengyuan?
Even though we have the support of Prince Huai, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. It is better for the county magistrate to take charge now!
"You reply, I will definitely attend the appointment on time!"
He wanted to see what tricks the Luo family was up to.
That night.
Huaxianglou was bustling with activity, with merchants coming and going, vendors gathering at the door, and ordinary people strolling along the street.
Because the Huaxiang Building lights up at night, a small night market has been formed unknowingly.
When Magistrate Liu saw this scene while sitting in the carriage, he could not help but admire it.
If the Luo family obeys discipline, it is not impossible to shake hands and make peace!
"Sir, please come this way. Madam has been waiting for a long time."
Wen Baolu smiled and led the person to the door of the room, pushed it open and entered. Prefect Liu stood at the door for a while before walking in.
When Magistrate Liu saw Zhu sitting in the first seat, his eyes darkened and he stood silently by the side without sitting down.
Zhu Mingqing chuckled and glanced at Wen Baolu before the other party closed the door and left.
They were the only two left in the room.
Prefect Liu was suddenly struck by a thought: could it be that this Zhu was trying to seduce him with her sex?!
Not to mention, with such beauty, she had such a noble status in the past. Magistrate Liu's throat moved slightly.
Zhu Mingqing looked over keenly, his eyes sharp, totally inconsistent with his delicate and fair face.
Magistrate Liu came back to his senses and coughed twice.
Looking at the surroundings, he saw that there was no tea or cakes on the table, and his face turned serious: "Is this how Madam entertains guests?!"
Zhu Mingqing laughed out loud: "Guest? Didn't this lady invite Lord Liu to be her guest?"
Prefect Liu's expression was stern: "What do you mean by that? Are you going to come to me and ask for justice?!"
Speaking of the latter part, Magistrate Liu just found it funny.
He actually laughed out loud, mockingly saying, "Madam Zhu, don't think you can do whatever you want in Guancheng just because you have Prince Huai's support. That's sheer absurdity! As long as I report to the court that the Luo family has ulterior motives, what do you think His Majesty will do?!"
Zhu Mingqing's lips curled up. "Why are you so angry, Master Liu? I was just conveying a message to you on behalf of Prince Zhou."
"Oh?" Magistrate Liu raised his eyebrows, but thought of something in his mind.
Before I had time to ask Wang Tongpan about the news in the city.
I don’t know whether the prince is in good health or not.
"Aksu has confessed to the prince, and the prince hopes to make a deal with you!" Zhu Mingqing said directly.
Magistrate Liu, who was standing by the window, suddenly felt his legs go weak and he almost fell to the ground.
