Chapter 289: Very Safe
It was as if a thunderbolt dropped from the sky. Lu Mingchao opened his mouth slightly and felt a buzzing in his head, as if countless fireworks exploded in his mind and echoed with a deafening roar.
Pei Jian!
Pei Jian has a good appearance, a tall and slender figure, a handsome face, and a natural charm that is like a fine aged wine, which is very attractive.
With the support of his family, Pei Jian has always been successful.
But if you walk too much at night, you will always encounter ghosts.
Any woman who was seduced by Pei Jian would be given a white jade carved pendant as a token of love by him.
It means being in love with each other.
Every time he gave it away, Pei Jian would remind the students to keep it carefully and not to reveal it easily.
However, my little daughter is having troubles and can't help but show off secretly.
Once you show it off, you will realize that the white jade carved pendants are everywhere.
Even if the news is sealed in time, rumors will still leak out.
To put it bluntly, Pei Jian is a playboy among playboys.
Why did Lady Zhenguo of the Duke choose Pei Jian after careful selection?
Tu Peijian is dissolute?
No wonder Gu Zhen burst into tears when the topic of marriage was brought up.
"If Miss Xiang is here to talk nonsense, I'm sorry I can't keep you company. Please go back."
"The purpose of Chaofu Qizhen Pavilion is to do business and welcome customers, not to set up a stage for quarrels."
Lu Mingchao took a step forward and put Gu Zhen behind him.
Xiang Rongyue snorted coldly, "That has to be someone I like."
"Lu Mingchao, I want you to entertain us personally."
Lu Mingchao first squeezed Gu Zhen's hand, then cast a look at Mingzhou.
Ming Tian nodded, took Gu Zhen's arm and returned to the private room of Chaofu Qizhen Pavilion.
Lu Mingchao continued to say to Xiang Rongyue, "Sure, please come in."
"If Miss Xiang cannot return with a full load, it would be a shame for the Xiang family's reputation of being rich and wealthy."
Xiang Rongyue sneered, "Shangjing Mingzhu, nothing more than that."
The former Lu Ming Dynasty truly eclipsed all the noble ladies who came to the capital.
County Lord Le Rong imitated Xiang Rongyue's strange tone and said, "Xiang family's pearl is no more than this."
Xiang Rongyue, whose childhood name was Baozhu.
"The county lord's grandmother personally praised Chaofu Qizhen Pavilion for selling rare treasures."
"The Xiang family is ashamed of the precious pearls in their pockets, but they are complaining that the Chaofu Qizhen Pavilion is mediocre."
Facing County Lord Lerong, Xiang Rongyue was very restrained.
If she didn't restrain herself, County Lord Lerong would use a whip to force her to do so.
So, this time, Xiang Rongyue chose Lu Mingchao as the soft persimmon again.
"Lu Mingchao, aren't you ashamed to hide behind Lord Lerong like this?"
Lu Mingchao smiled, blinked, and deliberately softened his voice, "Miss Xiang, why don't you hide behind Lord Lerong? Don't you want to?"
"You don't like it?"
"Don't you like it?"
"It's not embarrassing at all. I feel very safe."
"However, Miss Xiang will not have the opportunity to try."
"County Lord, you must protect me, and you must also protect the Humble Chamber for me, to prevent some people from taking advantage of their family background to bully others."
The hearts of the people of Lerong County were melted.
Why didn’t I realize before that Lu Mingchao’s voice could be so sweet and soft.
Unconsciously, County Lord Lerong straightened his chest.
"Xiang Rongyue, if you dare to cause trouble, I will beat you to death."
"After I whip you, I'll tie you up, tie you to the back of a horse, and drag you into the palace to see Concubine Xiang."
"Humph, if the lower beam is not straight, the upper beam will not be crooked either."
"You bully the weak and take advantage of your power. Xiang Fei is your aunt, and she is no better."
Xiang Rongyue was extremely anxious and spoke without thinking
"When it comes to bullying, who can compare to you?"
Instead of getting angry, Lord Lerong raised his chin proudly and said, "That's right!"
"Just so you know."
"You know you can't beat this county lord, but you're still jumping up and down. Do you know what this is called?"
"You little bastard!" Lu Mingchao replied at the right time, looking innocent.
She bared her teeth and claws at Rongyue, "Lu Mingchao, I will tear your mouth to pieces!"
"Xiang Rongyue!" Mayor Le Rong said in a loud voice.
He raised his hand, and in his palm appeared the jade pendant with dragon pattern bestowed by the emperor himself.
"This county lord is bullying others by taking advantage of his power!"
"how?"
"Lu Mingchao is doing business. I didn't offend you. You started to act weird as soon as you got off the carriage."
"Lu Mingchao greeted you with a smile, and you became even more powerful."
"The Xiang family is amazing, isn't it?"
Xiang Rongyue's pupils shrank and she stopped in her tracks.
He looked at the jade pendant in County Lord Le Rong's hand in disbelief, frowning in confusion.
"Why did it become a jade pendant again?"
Xiang Rongyue blurted out.
County Lord Lerong snorted lightly, his face not reddening and his breath not panting, and he scanned the lies with his eyes, "Your Majesty loves me, a junior, and is worried that some people are blind and don't know the old things of Emperor Wencheng, so he specially gave me the dragon-patterned jade pendant to replace the dark gold token to protect this county lord."
"Seeing the jade pendant is like seeing your majesty."
"You are acting so aggressively, are you trying to snatch the jade pendant away, throw it away, and then deny it?"
"Here, for you."
The Lord of Lerong County is trying to put himself in Rongyue's hands.
Xiang Rongyue took two steps back and knelt on the ground in frustration.
Seeing the jade pendant is like seeing His Majesty, and it’s not just talk.
After a moment, Mayor Lerong raised his hand and said, "Get up."
"Are you still buying it?"
Xiang Rongyue's eyes were red. "You are going too far."
He immediately covered his face and ran out at a trot.
County Lord Lerong looked at Lu Mingchao and murmured, "Is she crying because she was bullied too much?"
Lu Mingchao shook his head and said, "Because she has never bullied anyone before."
"That makes sense." Lord Lerong nodded seriously.
Lu Mingchao gave a few instructions to the shopkeeper and the waiter of Qizhen Pavilion, and then went to the private room with County Lord Lerong.
At this moment, Gu Zhen was lying on the table crying.
"Zhenzhen, can you tell me what's going on?" Lu Mingchao stood behind Gu Zhen, leaned over slightly, patted Gu Zhen's back, and said softly.
"Zhenzhen, you helped me, and I want to help you too."
County Lord Le Rong looked at Gu Zhen worriedly, but couldn't help but have starry eyes.
She liked Lu Mingchao's gentle, sweet and soft voice so much.
It was like the clear dewdrops condensing on the grass and trees when the sky was about to dawn.
Gu Zhen raised her head with sobs, "Mother said Pei Jian is a good man."
Upon hearing this, the silence of Lu Mingchao and the others was deafening.
If Pei Jian was a good man, there would be no bad people in Daqian.
Ming Tian frowned. "Since the marriage proposal between Xiang Rongyue and Pei Jian was cancelled, Pei Jian seems to have really behaved himself."
"Have you heard anything about Pei Jian's romantic affairs recently?"
"If a prodigal son turns over a new leaf, is he no longer a prodigal son?" Gu Zhen asked in return.
"I have seen Pei Jian riding horses and parading with prostitutes more than once. I even caught him confessing his true feelings to a woman and watched him stuff a white jade carved pendant into a woman's collar."
"I can't willingly marry someone like this."
"I can't even take care of a husband and children for such a person."
"But my mother insisted that it is not wrong for a man to be frivolous when he is young. After he has seen the flowers and flowers, he will be more reliable and stable after he returns to his heart."
Lu Mingchao blinked.
It turns out that this set of fallacies has a long history from ancient times to the present.
Isn't this really just whitewashing the scumbag?
"I begged my mother to stop making trouble."
Have you and I met before?
