Chapter 68 Don’t Compromise Yourself
These words were flawless, explaining why Bai Yaoyao was in the front hall and rejecting the invitation of the city lord's wife without leaving a trace.
Mo Ju, who had been confident at first, was speechless for a moment, "This..."
She looked up and looked at the city lord.
At this time, the city lord finally noticed the little girl next to Li Mingyan.
The snow-white cloak wrapped her whole body, and she sat there quietly, with only her cute little head exposed. Seeing everyone looking at her, she looked back at everyone, with her smart and beautiful eyes flashing with star-like light, and a bit of curiosity and novelty.
The more you look at her, the more you like her.
No wonder Li Mingyan kept her by his side. If it were the city lord, he would have wanted to build a golden house to hide the little girl, so that no one could see her and she would not be snatched away!
"Ming Yan." The city lord said with a smile.
"Junior is here!" Li Mingyan turned around and saluted the city lord.
"If Madam and Miss want to see him, let Mo Ju take him there!" the City Lord said.
Li Mingyan looked embarrassed.
"Oh! In this Sifang City, there are actually people who don't take the City Lord seriously. She's just a little girl, right? The City Lord's wife and daughter want to see her, which means they look up to her! There are actually people who don't know how to appreciate it, tsk tsk..." Suddenly, someone at the wine table nearby spoke lazily, holding a wine glass, his tone full of disdain and ridicule.
"Mr. Hu, what you said makes sense. I have broadened my horizons today! Not listening to the city lord is disrespecting him!" Someone else echoed.
The two people who were talking were none other than Hu Jianbi, the son of Hu Qing, the Zhenwei Captain, who was also Hu Shuangyun's brother and the nephew of the city lord.
The other person is indirectly related to the Li family.
His name is Song Lin. His mother, Liu Yingqiu, is a sister of Li Yaojia's mother, Liu Yingchun, which means he is Li Yaojia's cousin!
Song Lin has always been Hu Jianbi's little follower, and the two are inseparable.
After the last incident at the Treasure Pavilion, Song Lin and Hu Jianbi were both holding a grudge and had been secretly looking for an opportunity to take revenge today. How could they let Li Mingyan and Bai Yaoyao go?
Sure enough, after the two of them finished speaking in unison, the city lord's face looked a little ugly.
Li Mingyan wanted to speak, but Bai Yaoyao grabbed his sleeve.
Li Mingyan lowered his head and looked at her.
The little girl smiled sweetly, "Cousin, I've heard for a long time that the City Lord's wife has devoted her life to Buddhism, is kind and generous, and is a living Bodhisattva in our Sifang City! Miss Zhu is extremely intelligent, talented and beautiful. I've always wanted to meet the Madam and Miss Zhu. Will you let me go?"
"Listen, the eldest young master of the Li family is not as sensible as a little girl, tsk tsk!" Hu Jianbi mocked again.
Song Lin also clapped his hands and laughed. "Mr. Hu, isn't this inevitable? How can a nouveau riche be compared to our scholarly family? Besides some dirty money, what else does the Li family have?"
Li Mingyan acted as if he didn't hear their ridicule. He bent down, supported Bai Yaoyao's shoulders, and said to her, "Yaoyao, don't be wronged. Your cousin will take care of everything."
"Cousin, cousin Yaojia is also in the backyard. I want to go play with her for a while! Don't worry, Yaoyao won't allow anyone to bully her. I'm very powerful!" The little girl lay on his shoulder, breathing out hot breath and whispered to him.
