Chapter 608: The Gloomy and Cold Beast King Captures the Charming Alchemist (3)
Cuiyun thought that the eldest lady wanted to clean up and change her clothes that were stained with the smell of elixir, but it turned out that she was just cleaning up the remains of the elixir refining platform.
That’s right, this is more like the lady’s style in the past.
The sky is big, the earth is big, and the elixir is the biggest.
Lin Muqing maintained the original owner's temperament, packed the pills bit by bit, and fed a finished Fire-Forging Pill to the experimental beast in the cage next to him, a little wolf cub.
In fact, she was still thinking about what to say next. The housekeeper had already said it. If she suddenly changed her mind, the people in the Lin family would definitely have opinions and would wonder why she changed her mind.
Let’s go to the scene first.
"Cuiyun, let's go." Lin Muqing smiled at Cuiyun who was standing at the door, walked past her and walked out of the alchemy room.
"Yes, Miss."
Cuiyun followed behind the eldest lady and inexplicably felt that the eldest lady's temperament and eyes had a kind of seductive charm. Her heart almost jumped out of her chest when she was looked at just now.
How can a boy from a poor and untalented family be worthy of such a capable and beautiful young lady!

Inside the main hall of the Lin family's ancient building.
The decoration was luxurious and grand. The walls of the gatehouse and the eight thick round red pillars were all exquisitely carved. Two rows of Xuan-level guards stood behind the chairs.
Every corner of the hall exudes luxury and solemnity. The young man standing in the middle in simple blue clothes is casual. He obviously does not have any valuable accessories on his body. The emotion in his eyes is extremely cold, neither humble nor arrogant, and there is no question of inferiority.
"Mingchenque? Uncle Lin hasn't seen you for a long time." A seemingly hearty male voice came from behind Mingchenque. The young man turned around and looked at the person who came.
It’s Lin Boyan, the head of the Lin family.
Although Lin Boyan is already middle-aged, he has two slanting beards, but his eyebrows and eyes are sparkling, his facial features are sharp, and he exudes a sense of shrewdness, without looking old at all.
"Uncle Lin." Ming Chenque called out lightly, thinking that Lin Boyan was just good at pretending, as he could still smile happily after being insulted by the housekeeper.
"I think the housekeeper has already told my nephew about the Lin family's intentions. I wonder if he is still dissatisfied?" Lin Boyan walked to the upper seat and sat down, secretly looking at Ming Chenque. He hadn't seen him for more than ten years. He was indeed very good-looking, slightly better than the legitimate son of the Lord of Cangwu City. Unfortunately, he couldn't even cultivate Xuan Qi. He could not agree to this marriage, otherwise it would be sending his daughter into a fire pit.
"Father, is this the young master of the Ming family?"
Before Ming Chenque could say anything, a light and ethereal voice came to him, accompanied by an unbridled laugh. Just by hearing the voice, one could tell that she must be a cheerful and lively girl.
"Nonsense, who told the young lady?" Lin Boyan frowned and looked down at the housekeeper and maid.
Cuiyun shrank her neck. Lin Muqing stood in front of Cuiyun. It was the original owner who wanted to tell her if there was any situation. Cuiyun was just protecting her master.
She walked forward step by step.
When passing by Mingchenque, he looked into his eyes.
Ming Chenque was a little absent-minded. The girl in front of him was wearing a charming and beautiful pink dress with golden butterflies. Her facial features were bright and delicate, and her eyelashes were blinking slightly. She was only curious about him, without the butler's contemptuous look.
"Ming Chenque has no objection. I will return the jade pendant to Miss Lin." When Ming Chenque saw her, he felt that she could not say such unpleasant words as the housekeeper, and the knot in his heart was relieved, so he directly handed the engagement jade pendant to her.
Lin Muching took it and looked at it from both sides. The dragon and phoenix jade pendants, put together, are a pair of defensive spiritual weapons that can withstand the attack of a seventh-level master of mystery. In the eyes of the world, they are a treasure.
"Also, the Ming family doesn't need those compensations, and I don't need them even more." The young man gritted his teeth as he stared at the butler with a dim gaze, like a ferocious wolf, ready to bite at any time.
Lin Muqing knew in the plot that the housekeeper had said a lot of unpleasant things.
She deliberately asked, "What did the housekeeper tell you?"
Lin Boyan narrowed his eyes and decided to let his daughter handle it, as a way to train her abilities.
"Butler! The young lady is asking you a question!"
The housekeeper stood aside, speechless, looking at Lin Boyan, then at Ming Chenque, and said tremblingly: "Master, I am just repeating your words..."
Ming Xin, who was standing in the corner, spoke for the young master with a desperate look on his face. "He even called me a good-for-nothing, a good-for-nothing who only wants to live off me! And he also said... and also said, it's too ugly! Why did the Lin family insult my young master like this? The Lin family took over the Ming family..."
Ming Chenque looked back with a hint of warning in his eyes, "Ming Xin."
Ming Xin gritted his teeth and kept quiet, the young man looked very angry.
Lin Boyan glared at the butler fiercely. His eyes were as sharp as a knife, and the butler was so scared that he knelt down.
"Butler, you are so brave!"
The housekeeper shrugged his shoulders and raised his head to beg for mercy, "Master, I'm just afraid that Young Master Ming will pester me."
Lin Boyan was ruthless and said, "You are spreading rumors about our family's intentions. Rong Huai will take over the position of housekeeper. Take him away."
Although it was not said explicitly, the butler had already thought about the torture of tongue pulling out that he was about to face. He was dragged away with a pale face. If he had known not to accept the money from the Nangong family, he had thought about whether the head of the family would ask about it. He thought it was just a small matter.
