Xiao Cunyu looked at him with admiration.
Zhou Jingmao thought this guy was so annoying. "Bullshit! I didn't do that. I was just fighting with Hang Gengyuan for her. The two sisters were crying at the time, which was really disappointing. Besides, Hang Gengyuan's price was too high, so I didn't want it and lost the auction..."
The fingers didn't touch.
At most... when arguing for someone, I said a few unpleasant words.
He had no idea that Hang Gengyuan was so mean. He bought the person and gave him to the old prince. In the process, he also found a big backer for Shaoyao!
"I know why she's mad at you. It's because you didn't raise the price!" Xiao Cunyu clapped his hands and started talking nonsense. "Look, this woman has to save face, right? She's been fighting over you all, and it's become a foregone conclusion. She might have accepted it in her heart, but she never expected that the money you gave her wouldn't meet her expectations. She thinks you look down on her, so she's taking revenge, isn't she?"
"This is..." Lord Zhou finally saw Xiao Cunyu.
Xiao Cunyu quickly and politely saluted: "Greetings, uncle. Jing Mao and I are good brothers. We stayed in the same inn today. When I saw him running away, I tried to persuade him to go home honestly, but unfortunately he didn't listen... But fortunately, my uncle's people arrived in time and brought him back. Brother Jing Mao didn't leave the city, so he was safe."
"?!?" Zhou Jingmao looked at her suspiciously.
When did she let him go home?!
He was clearly told to leave quickly before midnight?!
"Good boy, I see that you are born extraordinary. I wonder which family you are from? Who are your parents?" Lord Zhou asked with a somewhat softer expression.
Xiao Cunyu immediately said, "My hometown is Yicheng. My parents have passed away. I feel that I have never seen the world, so I travel around alone. My status is poor and I am not worthy of the Marquis's ears."
Lord Zhou never expected that such a fair and tender boy would have lost both his parents.
It's quite pitiful.
But after all, he was a stranger, and when he was with his son, he would always ask a few more questions.
"Have you been to those places?" Lord Zhou asked again.
"I've been to the Flower City, walked through the mountains, seen Yuzhou, and crossed the grasslands. In a few years, I have traveled all over the country. But I'm young after all, and I just took a look at many places and never stayed for too long. It's a pity..." Xiao Cunyu started to talk a lot, and after a few words, he began to show off his skills.
Let’s say a few words from different dialects.
Then use some high-sounding adjectives to describe the famous mountains and rivers.
The longing eyes and surging emotions instantly stirred Lord Zhou's heart.
"I didn't expect that you are so knowledgeable at such a young age! That's amazing, unlike my son who only knows how to cause trouble! I see that you look young and may be even younger than him, but you are much stronger than him!" Lord Zhou couldn't help but sigh.
How could Xiao Cunyu be so foolish as to be fooled and follow him in blaming Zhou Jingmao?
Even if Zhou Jingmao is as stupid as a pig, he is still his biological son.
Lord Zhou can only say a few bad words himself, but others are definitely not allowed to do so!
"My Lord, you are too modest. Brother Jingmao is under your protection, so he is naturally qualified to keep a pure and innocent heart. I have met so many people, but I have never seen someone as clean and intelligent as Brother Jingmao..." Xiao Cunyu praised him fiercely.
Lord Zhou was very pleased with the flattery.
Looking at his stupid son, he didn't seem so angry anymore.
It was the middle of the night, and the fair-skinned young man didn't look very well. He must not have gotten enough rest.
"I am also impolite... Come, arrange the side rooms, please go and have a rest for you and the distinguished guests, we will talk again in the daytime!" The anger of Marquis Zhou disappeared inexplicably without a trace, and he himself did not know why.
