Chapter 244: Subordinates Pass the Clear Road

"Yes." Lu Mingchao looked sincere.

Lord Lerong's eyes widened in disbelief, "Then do you still believe that Madam Yongning is a loving mother who thinks about you day and night?"

"The wife of Marquis Yongning and Lu Minghui are just fooling around."

"I know." Lu Mingchao raised his eyebrows and said in a seductive tone, "Don't you think it's fun and exciting to tear off the mask yourself?"

County Lord Lerong choked and said, "So you are like this."

"That's right. How can Mingzhuo's confidant be sincere?"

Immediately, he stroked the whip again, eager to try, "Do you need the whip from the county master?"

County Lord Lerong is a bully in Shangjing City. The soft whip wrapped around his waist is the dowry of Princess Yongming. It is a true royal product, and there is no dandy that County Lord Lerong dare not shake.

"One whip down, the word filial piety will crush me to pieces like a towering mountain." Lu Mingchao smiled, pretending to be resentful.

"After all, the Yongning Marquis and his wife only treat me with courtesy."

"If I had the chance, I would most likely crush me into dust and build a stone step for Lu Minghui to become a noble lady."

Mayor Lerong scratched his head and said impatiently, "It's really complicated."

"However, you are willing to turn over a new leaf and choose this county lord, which shows that you have foresight. For Mingtian's sake, this county lord will forgive the past."

Lu Mingchao smiled and cooperated by bowing his hands. "My Lord, the county lord is very generous. I admire you very much."

The Lord of Lerong County is truly a wonderful person!

He is cunning but still unrestrained.

Spicy yet straightforward.

It's like the wind blowing from the wilderness, rushing forward without restraint.

The Lord of Lerong County raised his chin proudly and said, "That's right."

"My parents said that even though I'm a girl, I can still set up my own household."

The smile between Lu Mingchao's eyebrows became more intense.

Only a girl who grew up in unconditional love can have such arrogance and self-confidence.

Back then, Princess Pingning had her reputation ruined by Gu Huai's mother, so Princess Yongming had no choice but to choose a poor boy to marry her.

The boy from a poor family has now become a third-rank official in the imperial court.

But his feelings for Princess Pingning have remained the same for more than ten years.

County Lord Lerong is their only child.

There is no such thing as a poor scholar who passes the imperial examination and abandons his wife to marry a noblewoman, nor is there a bloody plot where a phoenix man becomes a high-ranking official and then turns against his wife.

Only two hearts can stay together forever.

Therefore, Princess Pingning can be said to have gained something in return despite losing something in one place.

Suddenly, County Lord Lerong stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Lu Mingchao, saying threateningly, "Lu Mingchao, could you please stop looking at me with such maternal eyes?"

"It's so frustrating."

Lu Mingchao: ...

If possible, County Lord Lerong is suitable for keeping silent.

"Let's get back to the topic." Ming Zhao clapped his hands lightly.

Lord Teng of Lerong County sat up straight, looking straight ahead, without showing any sign of his previous wilful behavior.

Lu Mingchao: Every thing has its own conqueror.

If you can't stop, it means something is wrong.

Ming Zhou continued softly, "A Chao, you are pregnant, so you should be careful and cautious."

"The Yongning Marquis's mansion is a place full of tigers and wolves. The Yongning Marquis is cold and ungrateful, the Marquis's wife is superficial and selfish, and Lu Minghui is pretentious. It is really not a good place to be."

"If you..."

"Sister Mingzhao." Lu Mingchao shook his head, stopping Mingzhao from saying the next words. "The wife of the Marquis of Yongning and Lu Minghui first stepped on my head to gain a reputation for kindness, and then unreasonably attached the name of shameless and evil to me. If I remain indifferent, wouldn't I be afraid and shrink?"

"It is impolite not to forget what you have come to."

"I'm not a living bodhisattva who saves all living beings."

"Don't worry, even if the Yongning Marquis's Mansion is really a den of tigers and wolves, I may be able to capture the wolf and beat the tiger."

There were ripples in Mingzhou's beautiful eyes, revealing hidden thoughts that Lu Mingchao could not understand.

Sometimes, all it takes to break the atmosphere is for County Lord Lerong to speak.

"Mingzhou, could you please stop looking at Lu Mingchao as if he were a dead person?"

"Even more intrusive."

As he spoke, he looked around, as if something was secretly spying on him.

Minghuang frowned, quite speechless.

However, Lu Mingchao, contrary to his usual practice, felt that Lerong County Lord's description was very accurate.

Oh, I feel uneasy.

Ming Tian's expression returned to normal, as if the emotion he just revealed was just an illusion, and he said seriously, "How can we break into the den of tigers and wolves when we are alone? Why don't Le Rong and I send some maids and servants to accompany you to the Yongning Marquis's mansion to serve you."

"In this way, Madam Hou and Lu Minghui will not dare to act rashly."

Lu Mingchao lifted the carriage curtain and pointed at the people standing on both sides of the long street with straw signs proposing to sell themselves and bury their fathers. He said in a deep voice, "How can they be so weak?"

Le Rong County Lord stuck his head out, frowning slightly, "There are people selling their bodies and burying their fathers in Xiangqi Street every day, but today seems to be especially frequent."

Bright daylight hears the sound of the strings and knows the elegant meaning "Is it credible?"

Lu Mingchao nodded, "It's credible."

People from A'an can be trusted.

"County Lord, Sister Mingzhou, the spring is bright and the breeze is not dry, why don't you go downstairs for a walk?" Lu Mingchao suggested with a smile.

Mayor Lerong stretched his neck and looked up at the sky, muttering unhappily, "Lu Mingchao, this is not called bright, this is called gloomy."

“I’ve heard of calling a deer a horse, but I’ve never heard of calling a dark cloud the sun.”

Ming Zhou made the final decision, "Then let's go down and take a walk."

Le Rong: …

There is no love anymore. As soon as Lu Mingchao appears, she is no longer Mingtian's first choice.

The Lord of Lerong County complained the most, but he got off the carriage the most efficiently.

Then he put his hands on his hips and looked back at Mingzhou and Lu Mingchao with a smug look on his face.

Lu Mingchao scanned the rows of people kneeling to sell themselves for their father's funeral. His eyes first fell on the girl with delicate features and thin figure. "What's your name and what are your specialties?"

"Liu Yue, good at..." Liu Yue murmured, frowning, "very good at knife skills."

County Lord Lerong stroked his smooth chin and commented in a serious manner, "If you buy her, she can be your cook."

Lu Mingchao's eyes flashed.

Perhaps, this knife skill is not that knife skill.

Otherwise, wouldn't Liu Yue be so entangled and hesitant?

Does excellent knife skills mean a knife that can kill someone with one blow?

"I wonder how much money it will cost to buy the girl?"

She must choose someone who has martial arts skills to be by her side, otherwise Ah Yan will not feel at ease.

No matter what, take this opportunity to get rid of this person.

Liu Yue blinked and asked, "Would you please take a look at it?"

Mayor Lerong grinned, "So unreliable?"

"Lu Mingchao, you should change someone else. If you need a cook with good knife skills, I will ask my grandmother to give you a cook who can prepare banquets for you."

Seeing this, Liu Yue hurriedly said, "Five taels, no, three taels, one tael is also fine."

She was willing to be a maid beside the lady.

The more he listened, the more unreliable County Lord Lerong felt.

"Ten taels." Lu Mingchao suddenly said, "I'll give you ten taels. After you take care of your private affairs, come to see me at the Yongning Marquis's Mansion."

Liu Yue: "I can go with you now."

County Lord Lerong was at a loss. He shook his head, pointed at the words on the wooden board, and asked sincerely, "You are not going to bury your father?"

Liu Yue: How embarrassing!

It's not that she's stupid, it's that she's getting excited.

She stands out, she is proud, she is proud.

Madam Yongning regrets it.]
