As he shouted these words, he dismounted and galloped toward the child. At the same time, a lithe figure emerged from the crowd, swiftly scooped up the little boy around the waist, and carried him to safety.
Just as Leng Chuchen was still in shock, she saw Luo Zhiwan, who had just rescued the boy, patting his bottom repeatedly.
"Luo Yiming, I told you not to listen! I told you not to run around like that! Didn't you hear me? What would your mother do if this beast really stepped on you?"
The little boy pouted and looked at her.
"Mom, I was wrong. I promise I won't run around anymore. I just wanted to pick this up..."
As he spoke, he held up the paper dragonfly in his hand.
"This was made for me by my mother, and I don't want to lose it."
Seeing this, Luo Zhiwan's anger vanished instantly. She quickly pulled Yiming into her arms and comforted him repeatedly.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have hit you. I scared you!"
"Mom, I'm fine. I'm sorry for making you worry."
Are you alright?
Just as the mother and son finished speaking, a lazy yet magnetic voice came from above.
She looked up and saw a handsome man in blue robes, whose cold yet captivating eyes were looking down at her.
She frowned slightly, glanced at the man, then at the horse that Li Ping had already brought under control, and immediately understood.
It turned out that it was this man's horse that almost trampled Yiming.
She pulled Yiming up, and was about to get up to question him when she saw Yiming suddenly rush forward, hug her leg, and call out in a childish voice:
"Dad, why are you only coming back now? Yiming has been looking for you for so long."
"father?"
The word "exit" left Leng Chuchen completely bewildered, while Luo Zhiwan wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground.
She stepped forward, grabbed Yiming impatiently, and scolded him angrily:
"You miss your father so much that you call everyone you see 'Dad'?"
“Mother, didn’t you say that Father has the aura of a tyrant, is a handsome man, and has a particularly pleasant voice? Isn’t he exactly the person you were talking about?”
this……
Luo Zhiwan, both amused and exasperated, raised her hand and covered his mouth, then glared coldly at Leng Chuchen.
"Riding a horse in broad daylight on the street, and so fast at that, are you in such a hurry to be reincarnated?"
Although Leng Chuchen found the little boy somewhat cute, she still retorted unhappily upon hearing the woman's words:
"You have a really rude way of speaking. Tell me, how much silver do you want?"
"You're talking nonsense."
Luo Zhiwan immediately spat at him.
"You scared my son, and you think paying money is enough? You're all grown up, but you don't have a brain?"
"Then what do you want?"
This question made Luo Zhiwan hesitate.
Yes, what does she want?
Yiming wasn't injured, just frightened. She couldn't possibly drag him to see the authorities because of that, could she?
However, judging from his wealthy and powerful appearance, we absolutely cannot let him get away with this.
Thinking of this, she straightened her neck and ruthlessly stretched out a hand towards him.
"One thousand taels of silver, as compensation for the mental distress caused to my son, or I will go to the authorities."
Meeting with officials?
Leng Chuchen frowned. He was new to the city and hadn't accomplished anything he wanted to do. It was too early to go see the officials now, and it wasn't the time to reveal his identity.
Seeing the officials is definitely out of the question, but this woman asked for a thousand taels of silver right off the bat; her appetite is truly enormous.
Well, when you're out and about, it's more important to get down to business. Besides, he really did scare the child.
Thinking of this, he waved his hand.
"Liping, get her the silver notes."
Li Ping stepped forward, displeased, to offer a reminder.
"Young master, she's asking for a thousand taels of silver just for scaring this child. That's outrageous! Let's go see the authorities!"
"Shut up."
He turned around, glared at him hatefully, and shouted angrily again.
"Take the silver notes."
Seeing that he was angry, Li Ping quickly took out a stack of silver notes from his pocket, handed them to her, and didn't forget to mock him:
"People from Phoenix City are really valuable. A scare can cost a thousand taels, and a mere touch could be worth tens of thousands."
Luo Zhiwan stuffed the silver note into her bosom, raising an eyebrow disdainfully.
"You're right. If you dare touch my son, I'll ruin your family."
After saying this, she bent down, picked up Yiming, and gently comforted him:
"Let's go home."
Yiming perched on her shoulder, staring at Leng Chuchen with his big, fluffy eyes, looking pitifully at her.
Only after the onlookers had dispersed did Li Ping mutter to himself:
"What a bad start! We've already lost a thousand taels of silver on our first day here. I'd better not come to this lousy place again!"
Hu Ke, however, didn't think so. He leaned closer and said mysteriously:
“Young master, that child calls you father, and I think he does look a bit like you.”
Leng Chuchen frowned, turned around and glared at him, coldly rebuking him:
"Stop talking nonsense and go find out where that Doctor Luo lives."
Hu Ke nodded hurriedly, "Okay, I'll go now."
After saying that, he jogged off to inquire.
...
After Luo Zhiwan brought Yiming back to the Luo family clinic, she was greeted by Zhiruo.
"Big sister, you're finally back! Brother Dajiang has come to see you again."
Why is he here again?
She became quite annoyed when Hu Dajiang was mentioned.
Although he didn't make it into the top three in the imperial examination two years ago, he still did his best and passed the examination. Now he serves as the county magistrate in Phoenix City, assisting the county magistrate. It is said that he is doing a good job, and the city lord appreciates him very much. He will let him take over the position of county magistrate next year.
