Chapter 43 Wang Lexuan doesn't believe what Zhu Mingqing said
Zhu Mingqing came back to his senses and fixed his gaze on the little girl opposite him.
She asked, "You want to know why I've been staring at your daddy, right?"
Wang Lexuan nodded quickly: "Yes."
Zhu Mingqing's eyes flashed, "But I need you to agree to one condition."
Wang Lexuan wasn't stupid either, so she asked cautiously, "What are the conditions?"
Zhu Mingqing pulled out a list he had written long ago from his sleeve. "I can tell you, but you have to help me find grain seeds other than these. The more the better. I will pay you in full. If you don't want money, you can still ask for grain."
Wang Lexuan didn't listen carefully to the rest of the conversation, her attention focused on the first part: "You're looking for grain seeds, why?"
"I have my own uses." Zhu Mingqing was reluctant to say more. "Are you just saying yes?"
Wang Lexuan is a very curious girl, otherwise she wouldn't come here to look for someone for her father.
Besides, buying seeds didn't cost much money, so she naturally agreed.
But she didn't know that on the first day Zhu Mingqing arrived in Zhencheng, he went to the seed store and bought almost all the seeds he could.
All kinds of grain seeds, as well as peanuts, sesame seeds, soybeans, etc., and some common vegetable seeds were all bought.
Although some of these seeds may not be very useful when repairing the Immortal Palace for the second time, they can be used in daily life.
Besides, maybe it will come in handy next time.
So, it is always better to be prepared in advance than to have nothing at the end.
Zhu Mingqing whispered in her ear, "...Zhencheng was flooded, and the people were displaced. So when I saw your father, I wanted him to make preparations in advance and store grain to strengthen the dike..."
Wang Lexuan was worried by what she said, but she also felt that it was unlikely to happen.
Although Zhencheng is a small place, it has never been hit by floods.
Moreover, the embankment of the Zhen River is reinforced every five years, and it has only been two years since the last reinforcement, so it will definitely not be destroyed so easily.
"Is that it?"
Seeing that she didn't speak, Wang Lexuan looked at her with wide eyes and received a positive answer from the other party.
She pouted immediately and threw the note back.
"I'm sorry, but I won't agree."
This was obviously a trick to fool her. He also said that Zhencheng was flooded. Was this a curse that their family would die?
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Wang Lexuan glared at her and turned to leave.
Suddenly, a loud shout was heard from not far away, and the other party waved: "Mrs. Zhu!"
It was Chang Wu and the young officer Qin San.
When they found that Zhu Mingqing was missing, they were both scared to death and immediately walked back, but still couldn't find him.
Although I know she won't run away, what if?
Only then did the two of them breathe a sigh of relief and wipe the sweat from their foreheads.
"Mrs. Zhu, you really made it difficult for us to find you." Chang Wu said anxiously, "Luckily, you are okay."
Wang Lexuan turned around in confusion and looked at Zhu Mingqing, "He called you Madam Zhu? Aren't you a member of the Luo family?"
"I am!" Zhu Mingqing replied indifferently.
Wang Lexuan was even more confused. "Is there anyone with the surname Zhu in the Luo family?"
"Puchi." Chang Wu couldn't help laughing. He naturally recognized that this person was the daughter of County Magistrate Wang whom he had met at that time.
I didn't expect this young lady from the official family to be so stupid: "Madam Zhu is the wife of the prince, how could her last name be Luo?"
Wang Lexuan's eyes widened as she looked at Zhu Mingqing with shock: "How old are you?"
Although this question was very rude, it was obvious that the other person didn't look much older than her. She was actually the wife of the God of War General!
Zhu Mingqing casually replied, "Since you don't want to agree to my terms, then don't worry about my age."
As soon as she finished speaking, she looked at Chang Wu and suggested going back to the inn.
At the same time, she inadvertently glanced at Qin San, a tall and thin man with ordinary looks and a very weak presence.
A humming sound came from the alley behind him. Chang Wu was curious and wanted to check it out: "What's that sound?"
Zhu Mingqing: "Nothing, it's getting late, let's go back quickly."
Watching their figures gradually disappear into the distance, Wang Lexuan couldn't help but stamp her feet.
"Miss, let's go back too."
"Go back if you want." Wang Lexuan muttered unhappily, "I'm trying to help her in vain. I don't know how to appreciate kindness!"
…
Inn.
Luo Fu kept walking around, glancing nervously towards the door from time to time: "Why haven't you come back yet?"
Luo Xiao held his forehead with his hand: "Little sister, just sit down and relax, why are you in such a hurry?"
Luo Fu pouted and sat next to him: "Of course you're not nervous. What if I make my mother angry again and she beats me?"
My eldest brother was kicked away by her without mercy.
My small body can't bear it.
Luo Xiao laughed, "So you're afraid she'll hit you."
I didn't expect that my little sister, who has always been willful, has such a timid side.
Luo Fu couldn't help but roll her eyes. Isn't this nonsense?
Since being exiled, my mother has changed every day, and she is more decisive and more powerful.
In the past, the third brother stood on her side, but since the last time mother saved them, although he still looked like the most powerful person in the world, he actually had a sense of awe for mother in his heart.
She doesn't want to be abandoned by everyone.
Crunch——
The door opened.
The two of them looked up and saw their mother standing at the door, looking at them calmly.
Luo Fu's heart tightened, and when she stood up, she stepped on her skirt and almost fell to the ground.
Her face was red, her hair was very messy, and she was wearing tattered clothes. She looked like a pitiful little thing.
Zhu Mingqing frowned slightly. Before it was the third brother, and now the fourth brother is here too. Did these two people have a plan?
However, when it comes to beating people, she doesn't have that much violent tendency.
So he explained, "I usually don't hit people... unless they deserve it!"
And Luo Feng is a person with water in his brain.
Luo Fu's lips trembled, and she glanced at her third brother inconspicuously, receiving his encouraging look.
She mustered up her courage, lowered her head and whispered, "Mother, you stood up to save all of us. I shouldn't have asked you to apologize. I know I was wrong."
After that, she knelt down and kowtowed twice, her eyes red as she spoke her heart out in one breath:
"I was so scared at the time that I did something wrong. I promise I will never say such nonsense again. Also, thank you, mother, for saving me."
Zhu Mingqing had a distant look on her face. She really had no intention of making friends with these kids.
They are all grown up and have their own ideas.
And she was also used to being alone, and the difference in thinking between the two was more than just one generation.
But in recent days, Luo Huai has changed from an indifferent boy to a careful and considerate person.
Now the two children also seem to want to ease their relationship with her.
Isn’t it good to continue to get along like before, where everyone is unrelated to each other?
Whether they really knew they were wrong or were just pretending, she was in no mood to care.
"I understand. You guys go out first."
"Mother……"
Luo Fu was about to say something when Luo Xiao touched her arm and said silently, "Let's go."
As soon as the door was closed, Zhu Mingqing felt extremely overwhelmed.
She really didn't want to clean up the mess the original owner had left behind.
