Chapter 139 The City Lord's Daughter Sends Help 16
The next morning, Zhi Qing ran to the inn, but was stopped by Shen Muxi. Zhi Qing angrily scolded, "Shen Muxi, you are so bold! You are just a lowly person. How dare you stop me? Get out of here."
Shen Muxi looked at him with an unchanged expression: "My eldest daughter doesn't want to see you, please go back, Fourth Master. Use this time to quickly prepare for your wedding with your concubine. Although it is a concubine, you still have to prepare a ceremony, right?"
Zhi Qing was furious at what he said: "Get out of the way, I want to see Luo Chen."
Luo Chen was disturbed by the noise downstairs, so he had to go out to see who it was, and found out it was Zhi Qing.
He looked at the people below with a bad face and asked, "Master Zhiqing, what are you doing here so early in the morning?"
Zhi Qing said with a look of joy: "Luo Chen, I came to you to explain what happened last night."
"Explain to me? What is there to explain to me? You should go and explain to Miss Ma. Your aunt has demoted your wife to a concubine. No one would feel comfortable about it." Luo Chen said with sarcasm in his tone.
Zhiqing was about to step forward anxiously, but was stopped by Shen Muxi.
"It's not like that, Luo Chen. I don't want to marry her. Really, the person in my heart has always been..."
"I just feel sorry for you and treat you as a little sister. There is no other intention. Besides, I have a lover, my cousin Ma Yuhe, and I will marry her in this life." Luo Chen interrupted Zhi Qing, "You told me this yourself back then. How come you have fallen in love with someone else in just two years? You are such a hypocritical man."
Zhiqing choked.
He Fancheng heard the noise and came out to watch the fun: "Yes, Master Zhiqing, when I first went to Lishui Town, I also heard the news that you wanted to take my cousin as a concubine."
Zhiqing's face turned red and he couldn't utter a word.
Shen Muxi stared at the man.
He Fancheng snorted coldly: "Master Zhiqing, with your status, I'm afraid you can't take my cousin as a concubine, but being able to take your cousin as a concubine is a consolation, don't you think?"
Zhi Qing moved his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he saw Luo Chen's cold eyes, he dared not to.
Shen Muxi looked at the irritable Luo Chen above, pulled Zhiqing's arm and threw him out.
He Fancheng laughed at Shen Muxi's actions: "Muxi, he is the son of the city lord after all. Aren't you afraid that he will come to you for revenge if you throw him out of the inn in Xuanwu City?"
"What are you afraid of? I don't think anyone would dare to do that with me here." Luo Chen.
Shen Muxi suddenly became happy and looked at He Fancheng proudly, but he rolled his eyes at her.
"Well, when are we going to go back? We have been out for a long time. The master has sent a letter to urge us."
He Fancheng looked at him speechlessly for a while, then asked, "Really? His wife just celebrated her birthday yesterday, and you received a letter from your uncle early this morning?"
Luo Chen also looked at him puzzledly.
Shen Muxi turned her head uncomfortably and said, "I mean, if you don't go back, the master will come to urge you."
Luo Chen said: "Don't worry, didn't you come here to take care of some personal matters? I haven't seen you go out in the past few days. Have you finished your personal matters?"
Shen Muxi's body stiffened and he said, "Done, done."
Luo Chen nodded and said, "Okay, then you can play here by yourself. I have an appointment with Zhiliang to watch the Hundred Flowers Festival. We can say goodbye after watching it and leave. Stay for two more days."
He Fancheng looked at Shen Muxi's instantly fallen face and burst out laughing: "That's right, now that we are here, it would be unreasonable not to see Xuanwu City's famous Hundred Flowers Festival. Muxi, if you are in a hurry, go back first and tell your uncle. We will go back in two days."
Shen Muxi glared at He Fancheng fiercely and said, "Since you said the Hundred Flowers Festival is very famous, there is no reason for me not to go and see it."
Luo Chen looked at the sudden strange atmosphere between the two people, raised his eyebrows, and left.
On the evening of the Hundred Flowers Festival, Zhiliang came to the inn to find Luo Chen. The two went to see the flowers together, and attended many poetry gatherings related to flowers, and enjoyed delicious food. They went to many places.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Zhiliang had already booked a private room and took Luo Chen in.
After chatting with Zhiliang for the whole night, I learned that there were not many people in the City Lord's Mansion tonight. Everyone had gone out. Zhiyuan and his wife also came out to see the flowers, and no one else was there.
Luo Chen knew that the opportunity had come, so she told Zhiliang to wait for her while she went out to relieve herself.
I went out, went to the bathroom, and changed into night clothes.
Luo Chen immediately dodged and arrived at the City Lord's Mansion the next moment. She was grateful that this world allowed her to cultivate spiritual power, otherwise she would not be able to use many of her magical powers.
Now a teleportation array arrived at the City Lord's Mansion. The general layout of the City Lord's Mansion was already known on the day of the banquet. Luo Chen used the invisibility wall to hide his breath and came to Zhi Yuan's heavily guarded study.
He asked the system to scan the entire study and found the city defense map and the location of the food and grass. He immediately asked the system to print a copy. Then he heard some noise outside. Luo Chen saw a man in black coming in, but he was discovered by the guards of the City Lord's Mansion. Luo Chen looked at this fellow and wondered why he looked so familiar.
Looking at the martial arts again, she realized that it was her older cousin He Fancheng. She immediately fired several hidden weapons to help He Fancheng escape successfully.
Luo Chen saw that a quarter of an hour had passed and knew that he could not delay any longer. He quickly left the City Lord's Mansion, drew a teleportation array and quickly returned to the restaurant.
After changing her clothes, she immediately rushed back to the private room. Zhiliang had been looking at the door. When he saw her come in, he immediately and happily asked her to sit down.
"The food has just arrived, come and have a taste."
Luo Chen nodded and tasted it: "It tastes good."
"Then eat more. I'll take you to try other delicious food in the next few days."
Luo Chen smiled and said, "I will be going back tomorrow. My father sent me a letter urging me to go back."
Zhiliang asked disappointedly, "So soon, you've only been here for seven days."
Luo Chen explained: "My father just found me, so he naturally didn't want me to stay outside for a long time. Besides, my cousin and senior brother are very busy, so they have to go back quickly."
Zhiliang said: "Okay, then I'll come and play with you when I'm free."
"Okay, I will definitely treat you well then."
After dinner, Luo Chen saw Shen Muxi coming over and said to her, "We have to leave tomorrow, pack your things quickly."
"What's wrong? What happened?" Luo Chen looked at Shen Muxi's sudden alert look and had a bad feeling.
Shen Muxi shook her head: "Nothing, just do as I say and we'll talk about it when we get back."
Luo Chen asked: "Where is He Fancheng?"
"He's tired, so he's going to rest first."
Luo Chen thought of He Fancheng whom he saw in the City Lord's Mansion tonight. He didn't notice anything at the time, but now he thought that he was injured.
He was about to go see He Fancheng, but Shen Muxi grabbed his arm.
Luo Chen shook off Shen Muxi's hand and went to He Fancheng's room.
Hearing He Fancheng's voice from inside, Luo Chen immediately opened the door and went in: "What's wrong with you? Where are you injured?"
He Fancheng's head was covered in sweat, gauze was wrapped between his ribs, and his face was pale.
Shen Muxi came in and closed the door: "I have taken Baiduxiao."
Luo Chen felt He Fancheng's pulse and found that the poison was really strong. Normally, poisons could be cured in a quarter of an hour, but He Fancheng had already taken it for almost half an hour, and he was still pale and his lips were purple.
