Chapter 216 The whole family has been bribed
"What is a 'Flying Chicken Ticket'? Is it related to chickens?"
Lu Qingqing turned her gaze away and looked at Xu Rui.
"What, you want one too?"
"If it's not too valuable, I'll shamelessly ask for one?"
Lu Qingqing gave him a strange look, looking into his eyes.
This guy really wants it.
Their eyes were shining, as if they were saying, "I want it, I want it."
I used to see him as very proper and reserved, unlike those casual people. I never expected him to ask for a "flying chicken ticket" so readily today.
Lu Qingqing smiled wickedly to herself.
"Turn around, I'll take you there."
Even when Wan Yuting was being escorted, he wasn't asked to turn around.
Xu Rui's lips drooped slightly, and he obediently turned around.
Then he got kicked in the butt.
"Get out of here!"
Xu Rui staggered forward two steps, steadied himself, and turned back to look at her in astonishment.
"Hahahaha..."
Lu Qingqing burst out laughing. How could this guy be so adorably silly?
Is he really the crown prince?
She spread her arms to the left and right, flapping her wings, and asked with a loud laugh, "Is this a flying chicken ticket? Flutter, flap, get lost!"
"So it's 'get lost'."
Xu Rui also laughed.
"You kicked my clothes and got them dirty, are you going to pay for them?"
"Oh dear, trying to scam me? Why not just slap me?"
Lu Qingqing reached out and slapped her twice.
When the shoe print was wiped away, Lu Qingqing was stunned.
What I just photographed was... his butt.
It's quite chewy.
Wow!
Was she flirting?
Fortunately, Xu Rui never looked back.
The pointed ears turned into red mountain fruit.
Lu Qingqing quickly changed the subject.
"Huh? Liu'er's condition has improved a bit, and she's not in a hurry to find me."
Qiaoxiu's skills have improved again; she's been able to keep people coaxed for so long.
"Mu Daye is here," Xu Rui said with a light cough.
"Oh, I see."
Lu Qingqing clicked her tongue twice more, "Mu Daye is indeed infatuated with Liu'er, but I wonder what he will choose after Liu'er wakes up."
"Is Qin Wangchuan truly beyond redemption?"
Xu Rui thought for a moment and said, "Qin Wangchuan comes from a family of military generals. He was raised by his family, passed the military examination, and joined the army. He has had a smooth life since childhood. I don't know anything about his relationship with Liu Qingran."
But it is true that he lost his mind after Liu Qingran's incident.
He disregarded the Qin family's ancestral precept of neutrality, killed two cousins, seized the position of family head, and sided with the Ninth Prince.
This incident reveals that this person has betrayed his ancestors and disregarded family ties.
What's even more hateful is that, under the orders of the Ninth Prince, he traveled all the way to the North to take revenge on the Crown Prince's faction. But he killed anyone who stood in his way, and many innocent people lost their lives at his hands.
In my opinion, he's like King Zhou of Shang—giving the guise of acting rashly for the sake of a beautiful woman, but in reality, he's incompetent, domineering, and has no moral compass.
Depend on!
So this is what Qin Wangchuan is like.
If you have a grudge, settle it; if you want to suppress the Crown Prince's faction, go ahead. Why use your power to harm innocent people?
Even if he loves his wife to the point of obsession, a love tainted with bloodshed, no normal woman would dare to accept it!
Lu Qingqing crossed her arms and began to think.
After a while, Xu Rui was heard saying, "Qingqing, do you want to go to the mountains on the other side?"
Um?
Lu Qingqing looked at him, "Are you looking for death?"
"No, you'll see when you go. Why would I put you in danger?"
Moreover, no one has ever set foot there, so there should be many rare herbs. I don't recognize many of them, but you can go and take a look.
Hearing this, Lu Qingqing was truly moved.
Looking at Xu Rui, he never jokes. If he says he can go, then he probably can.
She didn't know when it started, but she had come to trust him completely.
"Okay, I'll go get some water."
"Okay, don't forget to tell Uncle Lu," Xu Rui reminded him earnestly.
"Needless to say, I'm always on the go, they're all used to it."
"I have to say it," Xu Rui insisted.
Running around alone, or running around with Qiaoxiu and Liuer, is ultimately different from going out with a man.
"Tell me about it."
"Alright, alright." Lu Qingqing ran into the workshop.
He filled a gourd with water and said to Old Man Lu, who was selecting medicinal herbs, "Dad, Xu Rui and I are going into the mountains to find medicinal herbs."
"Okay, go ahead." Old Man Lu didn't even look up; his eyes were still on the medicinal herbs.
Lu Qingqing ran a few steps, then thought for a moment and came back. "Dad, I went out with Xu Rui, okay?"
"Yeah, don't bully people."
Who bullied him?
Lu Qingqing had now realized what Xu Rui meant by asking her to say something.
After all, it doesn't sound very innocent for a man and a woman to go into the mountains alone.
But Dad didn't react?
Lu Qingqing went to find Lu Yun again.
"Brother, Xu Rui and I are going into the mountains to find some medicinal herbs, just the two of us."
"What? You want to call Sixi? Hold on, Sixi is busy. He needs to check those ten sacks of medicinal herbs and finish them today."
Lu Yun calculated and recorded the information in the ledger.
"No...you really trust Xu Rui, huh? It's just the two of us, okay?" Lu Qingqing emphasized.
Lu Yun scoffed.
“I used to worry about him, but now… what can he do looking so listless?”
“The magistrate’s son is not to be underestimated,” said Yu Jun, who was learning from Lu Yun.
"You didn't see his skill; he shot and killed the bear hiding behind the tree with one arrow after another in the mountains."
Lu Yun glanced at him. "I mean, he's pretty listless in front of my sister, like a freshly kneaded dough."
Lu Qingqing opened her mouth slightly.
Is Xu Rui like this?
Undeterred, Lu Qingqing went to the other side of the workshop.
While Little Xibao was being coaxed and played with by Feng's mother, Lu Qingqing waved to Feng Xiaowan, who was busy.
"Sister-in-law, are you tired?"
"Not tired at all!" Feng Xiaowan smiled happily. "Little sister, Aunt Cuihua received another big order yesterday. It was a businessman from out of town introduced by an old customer. He wanted fifty catties of goods! According to his requirements, each package will be paid 60 coins, so we need to make one hundred and twenty-five packages!"
This is considered a large order, considering this is only from a small wholesaler.
As more and more people become aware of this, attracting larger wholesalers, they will understand what constitutes a large order.
"That's amazing, sister-in-law. Don't overwork yourself. If you need more people, just hire more," Lu Qingqing said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, okay," Feng Xiaowan readily agreed.
"Sister-in-law, Xu Rui and I are going to the mountains to find some less common herbs."
"Ah, then you should go quickly."
Lu Qingqing scratched her head.
When did Xu Rui manage to bribe her entire family?
Do you still think she's pretty tough and that no one can bully her?
"Hey? Wait a minute!" Feng Xiaowan called out to Lu Qingqing again, and brought over a paper package.
"This is a steamed cake that a shop owner who came to pick up goods just gave me. Please take it with you and give it to Young Master Xu."
Um?
This is getting more and more outrageous!
"Sister-in-law, why did you give him food?"
"Oh, this is to thank you! Little sister, your older brother left early today and didn't have time to tell you."
Yesterday, Young Master Xu came to the shop to see him and brought him a master to teach him some very powerful mechanical arts!
Your older brother was overjoyed, saying it was an opportunity we could only dream of in several lifetimes!
