Chapter 28: Lao Xin wants to confess?
It seemed like just a casual question, but in fact her curiosity had reached its peak.
A man who can be a prostitute should be good-looking, right?
And he even became the richest businessman in Nanxia. How amazing is that?
Want to see you!
When talking about his eldest grandson, the village chief has a lot to say.
All the words of praise such as filial piety, good at studying, excellent character, etc. were used to describe him.
"It's just that his parents passed away early, so this child and Xiaobao can only live with me, their father. What a miserable life."
The village chief wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Zhu Mingqing didn't know what to say for a moment. Forget it, if we are destined to meet again in the future.
The food here smelled delicious. Fen Tao ran over and whispered in her ear:
"Madam, Lord Xin said he wanted to see you last night."
Zhu Mingqing raised his eyebrows. He wanted to talk to her about something?
Could it be that... you want to confess?
Otherwise, she really couldn't imagine what the other party wanted to talk to her about.
…
Lao Xin was lying on the bed with a dull expression, sighing from time to time. Liang He felt very nervous when he saw this.
She was in such a dilemma that she even called him and Madam Zhu over. What was going on?
As the footsteps got closer, Lao Xin's eyes began to move. He looked towards the door and his heart beat faster.
Otherwise, you should confess before anything serious happens.
He can't be the kind of person who repays kindness with enmity.
But if I tell the truth, what will happen to my grandson?
He is still so young, yet he is being used to pay off debts!
No, no.
Two villains seemed to appear in his mind, one advising him to turn back, and the other scolding him to say it earlier if he didn't want to live.
At some point, Zhu Mingqing pushed the door open and came in. He looked extremely calm, but he exuded an inexplicable aura of solemnity.
She walked up to Lao Xin step by step, as if stepping on Lao Xin's heart, and stared at him quietly:
"Sir, I heard you had something to say to me?"
Lao Xin looked up, and her condescending attitude made people feel a little submissive.
He was stunned for a moment, rubbed his eyes, and looked over again.
There was only a smile in the other person's eyes, and there was no trace of the captivating look just now.
You must have seen it wrong.
He coughed twice and opened his mouth to talk about the beast powder: "It's...that..."
"Which one?" Seeing that he didn't say anything for a long time, Liang He couldn't help asking.
Old Xin hesitated for a long time, but in the end didn't say a word.
Liang He frowned: "Is there anything you can't say? Did you do something wrong? Don't worry, as long as it doesn't violate the principles, I'm here for you."
Upon hearing this, a hint of sarcasm flashed in Zhu Mingqing's eyes. You probably don't know what mistake he made?
However, if Old Xin could say it out loud, she would look up to him.
Sure enough, it was just as Zhu Mingqing expected.
A quarter of an hour passed, and he didn't say a word about the beast-luring powder.
Whenever he thought of his grandson's tiny body, Old Xin couldn't bear it and didn't dare to take any risks.
The Luo family has been exiled and has offended Deputy General Qi. It will probably be difficult for them to recover in the future.
Might as well help him one last time.
Yes, he is just an insignificant little man. Why should he get involved in the struggles of the higher-ups?
Thinking of this, he said, "Boss, I asked you to come here today to be a witness."
Liang He was puzzled: "What testimony?"
I saw Lao Xin get up regardless of the injury on his leg, and then kneel on the bed.
"Lao Xin, what are you doing?" Liang He tried to stop him, but was pushed away.
Old Xin then looked at Zhu Mingqing and Fen Tao, his usually cheerful face now serious. "You saved my life last night. I have no money or influence, so I can only kowtow to you as a token of my gratitude. If I have the chance in my next life, I will definitely work like a slave to repay your kindness."
Zhu Mingqing and Fen Tao looked at each other and couldn't help rolling their eyes in their hearts.
If you don’t want to repay me, just say it directly. What about in the next life?
Live your life to the fullest first!
Liang He didn't expect that Lao Xin, who was always carefree, would do such a thing.
His eyes were sore as he looked at Zhu Mingqing: "Madam Zhu, Miss Fentao, if you have any requests in the future, just tell me. I will never refuse if it is within my ability."
Zhu Mingqing sighed again in his heart.
Captain Liang, who has always been upright, even violated his principles for the sake of this creature beside him who was not sure whether it was a human or a ghost.
If he knew the truth, would he still say that?
Zhu Mingqing was really curious.
Looking at Lao Xin's grateful face across from her, she felt a hint of evil amusement in her heart, and replied: "No need for the next life, I can just be a slave in this life."
Lao Xin: ...
Liang He: ...
No one expected her to say this suddenly, and the atmosphere became quiet in an instant.
Zhu Mingqing chuckled: "I was just joking, you guys took it seriously?"
Liang He also smiled awkwardly. Lao Xin wiped the sweat from his forehead, twitched the corners of his mouth, and said nothing.
Seeing this, Fen Tao could hardly suppress her contempt for Lao Xin, but she still tried her best to endure it.
Zhu Mingqing then said magnanimously, "No one would have stood by and watched someone die in the situation yesterday. It's really not worth your concern."
One person was told not to take it to heart, and the other was almost broken by her.
Captain Liang could only smile to ease the awkwardness: "In short, what I just said has always been effective."
Zhu Mingqing smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll take note. If there is nothing else, we will leave."
Pink peach follows closely behind.
Only after they were far away did she start to complain.
"Who is he? We saved him, not Captain Liang. Is a slap on the head enough? Don't you think we need a slap on his head?"
Seeing her fuming like a pufferfish, Zhu Mingqing couldn't help but laugh and asked, "Are you angry already?"
"Isn't this enough to make me angry?" Fen Tao saw that she didn't seem to care at all and said indignantly, "Madam, you are too generous."
Zhu Mingqing's lips curled slightly, and a smile flashed in his eyes, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
Is she generous?
No, she is very vindictive!
If the other party insists on having his own way, she will not be a pushover.
Moreover, Captain Liang defended the other party so much, so how painful it must be when he gets slapped in the face!
She couldn't wait to see him.
"Fentao, come here." Zhu Mingqing whispered in her ear. Fentao, who was already angry, suddenly had anger in her eyes.
Well, not only are you ungrateful, but you also want to repay kindness with enmity.
She must vent her anger for the lady.
"By the way, we can call Luo Tian."
Pink Peach frowned: "Can he do it?"
Zhu Mingqing shrugged nonchalantly: "Who knows? We'll know if we try."
"Well, I hope he won't disappoint the lady."
At the same time, the voice of the little world spirit echoed in Zhu Mingqing's mind: "Qingqing, the Immortal Mansion is about to undergo its first repair and is temporarily closed to the public. You must protect yourself while I'm away."
