Chapter 79 Are the Liang, Feng, and Zhu families related?
Luo Huai glanced at him indifferently: "The adults' affairs have nothing to do with you."
"Hey!" Luo Xiao didn't like what he heard, "We are twins!"
Luo Huai raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Then you will be my brother?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Xiao wilted.
He doesn't want to take on such a big responsibility.
Ever since the eldest brother was spoiled, my father has focused his attention on the second brother.
Reading, calligraphy, literature and military strategy, one must be proficient in everything.
Although my father is now...
But he... still can't do it!
Luo Xiao sighed: "Mother treats you so well. Xiao Fu and I are envious, but you keep having this attitude. What if Mother gets angry too?"
Luo Huai's expression paused slightly and he remained silent.
Luo Xiao continued to persuade: "Second brother, if you have any problems, just speak up. You have been holding it in your heart..."
"Third brother." Luo Huai saw that he kept knocking on the side and wanted to ask something, but this matter really couldn't be known to anyone else.
"Huh?" Luo Xiao opened his eyes wide and looked over expectantly.
Handing over the empty kettle, Luo Huai looked at him sincerely and said, "Go get some more water?"
Luo Xiao sighed: ...
Okay, second brother has always been tight-lipped, and we can’t get anything out of him.
He had just stood up and was about to go find his mother when he saw his grandfather slowly walking towards him.
Luo Xiao's face lit up with joy, and he didn't want to leave anymore.
If my second brother doesn't tell him, can he still go against Grandfather?!
"Go quickly!" Luo Huai glared at him and kicked him nimbly with his uninjured leg.
Luo Xiao quickly dodged and went to fetch water unwillingly, looking back as he walked.
Old Prince Luo also slowly sat down beside him, first asking about the condition of his left leg, and was relieved to learn that it was already healed.
Seeing his grandson's face was very haggard, he said distressedly: "Huai'er, are you hiding something in your heart? If there is anything that you can't get over, you must speak out. Grandfather also wants to help you."
Luo Huai felt a pang of pain in his nose.
My grandfather has aged a lot. In the past, you could still see some black hair here and there, but now it is as white as snow, crystal clear and straight.
If he had not been exiled, he should be resting on the golden nanmu bed in his mansion now, instead of still traveling in the middle of the night.
He forced a stiff smile and said, "I'm fine. I'm just worried that the days ahead will be tough..."
Old Prince Luo knew his temper. If he didn't want to say something, no one could force him to say it.
So he patted his shoulder soothingly and said, "Your mother is a capable person. Besides, we still have grandfather. He won't let you go hungry."
Mother?
Hearing these two words, Luo Huai clenched his fists under his sleeves, and his eyes were filled with emotions.
Old Prince Luo did not ask any more questions and prepared to lean against a big tree to rest for a while.
But not long after he closed his eyes, he heard Luo Xiao approaching and saying, "Grandfather, Mother said she wants to ask you something."
…
This was the second time that Prince Luo and Zhu Mingqing had a private conversation.
Looking at Zhu Mingqing who was calm and composed in front of her, she thought of the murder she had committed before.
A gleam of light flashed in Old Prince Luo's eyes, and he asked, "Wife Tingshan, do you... know Kung Fu?"
Ever since Zhu Mingqing took action, she knew that she could not hide it from these people.
But I didn't expect that they would wait until now to ask.
Fortunately, the original owner had poor health when she was young, so the Zhu family hired a martial arts master for her.
It’s just that my kung fu isn’t that great.
But that's enough.
"Mingqing has practiced martial arts since she was young. I used to think it was unsightly, so I kept it secret," she explained frankly. "But now I've come to terms with it. I'm also thankful for my martial arts skills, which have allowed me to protect myself."
Old Prince Luo was very surprised. When he arranged for Tingshan to marry a wife, he had specially investigated the situation of the Zhu family.
I didn't expect that there were still things I missed.
But this is not a big deal. It would be better if the mistress of Luo Wangfu knows some Kung Fu!
"I see." He suddenly understood, and then said, "Xiao'er said you had something to talk to me about?"
Zhu Mingqing glanced around lightly, slowly took two steps forward, and bowed slightly to salute.
"Father, Mingqing wants to inquire about Ji County, Xingzhou, and Zhending Prefecture..."
She named a dozen towns in a row, all of which were the towns they would pass through on their way to Guancheng.
Then ask about the information of these town officials and their character.
Old Prince Luo was puzzled: "Why are you asking about this?"
Zhu Mingqing smiled slowly and said, "It's just some private matters. Don't worry, father. It won't affect the Luo family."
She looked frank and had never asked Old Prince Luo for anything. In addition, after seeing the changes that had taken place in recent days, Old Prince Luo thought about it and told him everything he knew.
"The magistrate of Ji County is a decent person, but we're not close friends. The prefect of Xingzhou, Chang, is very fond of calligraphy and is considered diligent and caring for the people..." When he mentioned Zhending Prefecture, he paused. "Zhending is the capital of Jizhou. The prefect Liang is the second son of Liang Xiang, the prime minister of the capital. He is quite upright..."
Zhu Mingqing is very sensitive to the word "Liang".
Are the people in the Liang Mansion upright?
Why is she so unconvinced?
A quarter of an hour later, Old Prince Luo was talking until his mouth was dry, so Zhu Mingqing handed him another water bag. "Thank you, father, for clearing up my doubts today. I'll have Luo Xiao deliver dinner from now on, so you don't have to worry about going hungry."
Old Prince Luo paused while drinking water, his expression surprised.
"Do you still have food?"
He had heard about it when he was in Zhencheng. He bought tens of thousands of kilograms of food and medicinal herbs, but later used them up.
He thought it was gone.
Zhu Mingqing nodded slightly and asked, "One more thing, does the Liang family have any relatives with the surname Feng?"
The prefect of Zhending Prefecture was a member of the Liang family, but the grain was transported from the Feng family.
It's hard to believe that their two families are not related.
Old Prince Luo looked at him with a strange look.
Zhu Mingqing was completely bewildered and asked, "What's wrong?"
He said, "Don't you remember?"
"Huh?" Zhu Mingqing's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the original owner had a problem with her memory and had forgotten something important?
After a while, a name suddenly flashed in her mind, and she tentatively said, "I know Feng Dansi..."
Old Prince Luo nodded slowly: "Yes, it's their family. Speaking of which, we are all relatives with the Liang and Feng families."
Zhu Mingqing's expression froze: How come I am related to them?
"The eldest daughter of the Feng family married into the Liang Xiangfu, and the second daughter..." His eyes fell on Zhu Mingqing, "is your sister-in-law."
Zhu Mingqing was speechless again: ...
There is a word MMP that I don’t know whether I should say or not!
She said, why does the Feng family feel so familiar.
The original owner had a good relationship with Feng Dansi, but a very bad relationship with her second sister Feng Danxin.
The original owner's eldest brother married Feng Dansi's second sister.
But the Feng family disagreed, and their relationship with the Zhu family is still very tense.
Moreover, it was Feng Danxin who reported the original owner's elopement with Tan Guangyi, which led to the original owner being imprisoned and forced to marry into the Luo family.
