Chapter 132 The City Lord's Daughter Sends Help 9
After walking around for a long time, it was almost dark. Luo Chen returned to the mansion. Meng Yuwei was already waiting in the hall, with Shen Muxi by his side.
"Dad, I'm back." Luo Chen skipped to Meng Yuwei and put his arm around him.
"Did Luo Luo have a good time playing outside today?" Meng Yuwei looked at her lovingly.
"I'm happy. My brother bought me a lot of beautiful new clothes and jewelry, and took me out to eat delicious food."
Meng Yuwei smiled and said, "Just be happy, let's go eat."
"Okay." Luo Chen replied, turned around and saw Shen Muxi standing on the side, and greeted him with a smile, "Hello, Senior Brother Shen."
"Hello, Miss." There was a hint of smile on Shen Muxi's face, just a hint, not more than a little. She was so cold. Luo Chen curled his lips.
Luo Chen lived a comfortable life in the City Lord's Mansion, but Ma and Zhiqing had a hard time. These days, someone was targeting them for no apparent reason. Even the only shop they owned was forcibly bought away at a low price. Zhiqing was also expelled from the academy. The mother and son were extremely unlucky.
Having lost their livelihood, the mother and son wondered if Luo Chen was targeting them. Ma scolded Luo Chen for several days, and the mother and son had no choice but to leave and make a living elsewhere.
However, they encountered many thieves and robbers along the way, and all their gold and silver jewelry were stolen. In the end, the mother and son had no choice but to beg, and they lived a life worse than death for a long time.
However, it seemed that the person behind the scenes was tired of playing. Zhiqing's cultivation was originally enough to deal with some petty thieves, but when he met someone who wanted to kill him, Zhiqing fought back hard, but all his cultivation was wasted and he was almost beaten to death. Fortunately, some chivalrous men passed by and saved him and his son, so he survived.
At this time Zhi Qing also reacted. This situation would not be caused by Luo Chen. After all, even if their relationship was a little unpleasant, it would not lead to Luo Chen chasing him like this.
The mother and son discussed it for most of the night, and the only person they could think of was the eldest lady.
Ma was as frightened as a quail, and said at a loss: "What should we do? She has already driven us out, why won't this vicious woman let us go?"
Zhi Qing had read so many books for so many years and still had some brains. He knew that if they were to be stranded outside now, they might be able to escape once but not the second time, and it was impossible for them to be rescued every time. If they wanted to stay alive, they could only go back to the City Lord's Mansion. But when he thought of his father, if he was of no use to him, he would never let his son, who had become a disabled man, go back.
Zhiyuan couldn't possibly offend his first wife because of his mother and son. He originally planned to learn skills well and return after becoming useful. But now it's impossible, so he can only use other things as bargaining chips.
Zhi Qing thought of Luo Chen and now regretted his decision. If he had known that this yellow-haired girl had such a powerful identity, he would have married her home long ago. Now he is taking advantage of the power of Qinglong City to go home and take revenge.
But it's not too early. He has watched this girl grow up. As long as he can get in touch with her, he is confident that he can control her. However, if he wants to get in touch with Luo Chen, he must be the son of the city lord.
Zhiqing made up his mind and took his mother to the City Lord's Mansion. Ma was nervous. She was afraid that Zhiyuan would not let them in just like that. But when she saw her son's confident look, she said nothing and just followed him silently.
The news that the eldest lady of Qinglong City has been found has spread. Meng Yuwei sent out invitations. He wants to hold a welcome party for his daughter to let everyone in the world know that his daughter is back. Let those blind people take a look so that they won’t fail to recognize her when they see her in the future and offend the little girl.
Luo Chen also made careful preparations, because she had nothing to do, so she could only find some fun for herself. However, there were really few toys, so she could only tinker with it every day. She wanted to outshine all the girls that day and become the most handsome guy at the banquet. Then she wanted to see if Shen Muxi would still look indifferent. If he was still the same, then she would doubt this man's sexual orientation.
After so many centuries, she finally met someone who was so compatible with her. She had to seize the opportunity.
More than a month later, the ceremony began and the four city lords all brought their people to attend. At the banquet, Luo Chen's dress was so beautiful and elegant that it stunned the eyes of many talented people who had been watching for many years, including Shen Muxi, whom Luo Chen had been observing.
There was astonishment on his face, and he maintained that posture for a while. Luo Chen knew that he was stunned and smiled at him with satisfaction. Shen Muxi now came back to his senses from the shock and quickly withdrew his gaze, but his ears were red. Luo Chen found it funny that he was almost twenty years old but still such a pure person.
After observing Shen Muxi, Luo Chen focused her attention on the banquet and noticed that someone was staring at her. Luo Chen looked over and found that it was Zhi Qing.
At this moment, Zhi Qing looked at her with a smile, his eyes were full of determination, but his complexion was not very good. His face was a little pale, and coupled with that straight gaze, Luo Chen felt a chill on his back. What was wrong with this person?
Luo Chen was surprised. Why was this person here? He quickly asked He Fancheng, "Why is Zhiqing here?"
He Fancheng also said with a gloomy look in his eyes: "He came here with his father."
"Wasn't he kicked out? How come he was found back?" Luo Chen thought that this man could not go back without her help, but unexpectedly he still went back. He really deserves to be the male protagonist.
Luo Chen ignored him. She was not afraid of anyone more dangerous than him.
"I don't know. It's just this kid's luck. If he is honest, it would be fine. But if he dares to do anything weird, I will make sure he knows why the flowers are so red." He Fancheng said gritting his teeth.
Then hurried to find Shen Muxi.
"Muxi, you have to keep an eye on the young lady. That bastard from Xuanwu City is here too. I'm afraid he might do something weird." He Fancheng said as he pointed at Zhiqing to Shen Muxi.
Shen Muxi nodded to show that he understood.
He Fancheng felt more at ease. At the banquet, except for Shen Muxi who was still somewhat idle, the other three were busy greeting guests of different identities and could not spare much attention to take care of Luo Chen.
After more than an hour, Luo Chen felt a little tired. The clothes were cumbersome and the crown on her head was heavy. She was tired after staying for such a long time, so she planned to go out for some fresh air.
As soon as he walked out, he found Zhi Qing following him. Luo Chen didn't care what he wanted to do and just walked forward. When he reached the back garden, Luo Chen stopped.
"I've been following you all the way. What's the matter?"
Zhiqing stepped forward affectionately and said, "Xiaohua, long time no see, how are you doing?"
“It’s really good.”
"That's good." Zhi Qing pretended to be relieved.
Luo Chen sneered disdainfully: "What do you want?"
