Chapter 244 The Two Arguing
"I wonder if Master Feng has asked me to come here to discuss something?"
Zhu Mingqing sat down gracefully, poured himself a cup of tea, then raised his eyes, which were bright and clear, but also contained a hint of confusion and puzzlement.
The room was quiet. Luo Tingshan smiled faintly and said nothing. Zhu Mingqing was furious at his questioning look, but he had to restrain himself!
"Ahem..." Zhu Mingqing shifted his gaze to the potted plant beside the window. Its vigorous vitality was about to overflow, just like the man in front of him.
"If you don't tell me, I'll leave first. I'm busy at home..."
Zhu Mingqing turned his head and his voice stopped abruptly!
Luo Tingshan took off his silver mask, revealing a face that was strange yet familiar.
He has a handsome and resolute appearance, and exudes an aura of fortitude from head to toe, as if he has been baptized by the years and is as tough as a rock.
He has sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, thin and strong lips, clear lines and a more rugged contour.
Just looking at him, your impetuous mood will unconsciously calm down, giving you a sense of security.
There is an unhealthy whiteness on the face.
There is no doubt that Luo Tingshan is handsome. Even though his legs are not good for walking, it does not affect the awe-inspiring aura that surrounds him.
"Don't you recognize me?" Luo Tingshan was as steady as a rock, his expression unchanged.
Zhu Mingqing took a deep breath.
Okay.
I can't deny it even if I want to.
Zhu Mingqing gritted his teeth, imitated the original owner's behavior, and called out softly, "Tingshan, you're still alive, it's great!"
A hint of surprise flashed in Luo Tingshan's eyes, and he said lightly: "You never called me by my name before!"
Zhu Mingqing: ...
I can’t continue chatting today!
She sat back in her original position, her eyes falling on those legs, and changed the subject: "Are you okay here?"
Luo Tingshan: "Does it matter to you whether I can get better?"
Zhu Mingqing, take a deep breath!
She gritted her teeth and uttered two words: "Important!"
After all, it has an indirect relationship with the original owner.
What if this is blamed on her?
She doesn't admit it.
"It's not going to get better." Luo Tingshan's voice was calm and indifferent, as if he was talking about a trivial matter that was insignificant.
Zhu Mingqing clenched her fists. If she remembered correctly, this man was only two years older than she was now. Wouldn't that mean he would have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair?
"What did the doctor say?" she suddenly asked.
Luo Tingshan saw the pity in her eyes and said sarcastically, "Don't worry, I won't get you into trouble."
Zhu Mingqing thought so in his heart, but when he was directly called out, his face only blushed for a moment, and he nodded in agreement: "Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor, you should go find the person who really hurt you!"
Luo Tingshan's eyelids twitched slightly, his thin lips tightly pursed. "Zhu, are you truly not ashamed at all? Even if you weren't the mastermind, and you passed the marching route to Tan Guangyi, were you really that foolish not to consider the consequences? Or are you unwilling to think about it, and only blindly trying to please your childhood sweetheart?"
The series of questions left Zhu Mingqing speechless for a moment.
It’s so frustrating!
It's obviously not her who did it, but she can't deny it!
"Yes, I feel guilty!" She seemed afraid to look him in the face. "Then tell me, what do you want? I'll do my best to make it up to you as long as I can give it to you!"
As long as she stops spreading the news, she really doesn't want to reveal her true identity!
"Compensation?" Luo Tingshan laughed. "Those are 50,000 living people. They also have families, wives and children waiting for them at home. Look at these..."
As he spoke, he threw a stack of letters onto the table, scattering them all over the floor.
"These are all letters the soldiers never sent home. There's no chance of sending them again! Just a simple recompense. You're so cold-blooded!"
The look of contempt is really unbearable!
"Then what do you want from me?!" Zhu Mingqing stood up and asked angrily, "It's already happened. Is there any point in pursuing this now? She's already dead. Shouldn't you demand justice from those who schemed against you?!"
Luo Tingshan was extremely attentive. "...Who died?"
Zhu Mingqing was so angry that his mind was dazed for a moment. Then he reacted and said coldly, "No one! I say it again, if you want compensation, I can give it to you!"
Just consider it as making up for the original owner’s previous mistakes!
"But the culprit is not me!"
"And your legs..." She paused, "I'll help too!"
Luo Tingshan's expression remained as unmoved as a mountain. He pulled out a thick booklet from his pocket and said, "Then let me test your sincerity. Here is the list of 50,000 families!"
Zhu Mingqing took it and didn't want to be alone with him anymore, so he was about to leave!
"Wait!" Luo Tingshan's eyes were deep, like a quiet pool of water. "Come here."
Zhu Mingqing was puzzled, but still walked closer slowly.
"Speak!"
brush--
Her right hand was held and her sleeve was lifted up in an instant.
Zhu Mingqing's expression changed drastically, and he said in a cold voice, "Luo Tingshan!!!"
Luo Tingshan was no less shocked than she was.
Thinking back to the crimson plum blossom I saw just now, its shape and size were exactly the same as the one on Zhu's body!
He looked stunned, then raised his eyes to look at the other person: "You..."
This plum blossom birthmark is impossible to imitate.
Could it be that what happened in these few months can really change a person?
Zhu Mingqing snorted coldly: "Why, do you suspect I'm a spy sent by the imperial court?"
In order to prevent the other party from getting more suspicious, she took the initiative to lift up the sleeve of her right arm and put it in front of him.
He threatened: "Look carefully, if you dare to question my identity again, you will lose your eyeballs!"
Luo Tingshan raised his slender fingers slightly, and they were about to fall on the other person's arm. Zhu's expression became more calm, as if to say, I am not a spy.
He chuckled, his fingers still falling.
The moment his skin touched the other person, Zhu Mingqing endured the discomfort and turned his head away.
Luo Tingshan's brows were dark, and he rubbed it vigorously twice. It was indeed not paint, but he always felt that something was wrong.
"Hey, that's enough!"
Zhu Mingqing retracted his arm. "I've already checked. I've known Kung Fu since I was a child. If I encountered robbers and murderers on the road, would I just let them slaughter me without resistance?!"
Since Luo Tingshan suspected her, even if she could shut Luo Huai up, he would probably be able to find out everything that happened on the road.
Luo Tingshan withdrew his hand, his eyes solemn. "What about the money? I know exactly how much money the Zhu family has."
Zhu Mingqing was careless in his heart. He thought that when he met the Zhu family again after many years, even if someone had doubts, many years would have passed and it would be impossible to find out.
But it’s best if nine lies are true and one is false!
"Have you forgotten that the Luo family still has a lot of silver and money? I hid some in advance!"
Luo Tingshan was shocked by these words again.
The imperial edict to confiscate property and exile had not yet reached the Luo Mansion, but she had already made preparations?
Could it be that he really was hiding his incompetence before?
