The weak princess is super fierce
Chapter 524: Hold On
Chapter 524: Hold On
After Lu Cheng stood up, he moved to Lu Man's side. After hearing and seeing this, he also felt that something was wrong. His face was the same as Lu Man's, slightly pale.
He reached out and pulled his uncle.
But because Lu Man was too nervous about Meng Shisan's answer, he didn't even feel the slight pull from Lu Cheng on his side.
"Yaoyao!" Suddenly a voice interrupted.
Meng Shisan looked in the direction of the voice and saw Zeng Chongqi and two Tiqi cavalrymen walking towards her: "Cousin Zeng."
"Yaoyao, what are you doing here? I heard the noise from far away. Did something happen?" Zeng Chongqi asked as he approached. He looked around at everyone in front of the Lu Family Noodle Shop and finally his eyes fell on Lu Luo. "Second Master Lu is here too."
"Cousin Zeng...Young Master Zeng." Lu Luo almost followed Meng Shisan and called Zeng Chongqi cousin.
Nashe tried hard to keep his expression from changing too much.
He still said the same thing - you haven't even started yet, young master!
Zeng Chongqi is a loyal person, but that doesn't mean he is stupid. The courtesy name that Lu Luo accidentally blurted out immediately aroused his vigilance. He moved his feet and immediately covered most of Meng Shisan's body, blocking Lu Luo directly.
Xiang Lin secretly gave his young master a thumbs up.
Although his son is not very good at understanding romance, once he gets the hang of it, he is simply amazing.
Especially in the beginning, it was the elders in the mansion who suggested to the young master that he marry his cousin from the Meng family. And later on, the young master himself fell in love with the cousin. So, even the most honest young master, when faced with a love rival who was eyeing his cousin, instantly became more cautious.
Meng Shisan was still thinking about the ancient paintings that Lu Man mentioned, so she didn't pay much attention to the secret confrontation between Zeng Chongqi and Lu Luo. After thinking for a few breaths, she said, "Master Lu, please lead the way. I happen to be free now."
"Good!" Luman grinned with joy.
Upon hearing this, Lu Cheng wanted to pull Lu Man's hand again but quickly retracted it.
"Where are you going?" Zeng Chongqi asked Meng Shisan.
Meng Shisan said, "Mr. Lu said that he has an ancient painting passed down from his ancestors and he wants me to go to his house to see it."
Zeng Chongqi then looked at Lu Man. As a captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, he had seen too many cases of common people trying to curry favor with the powerful.
Could this so-called Mr. Lu in front of us be one of them?
Facing Zeng Chongqi's undisguised questioning gaze, Lu Man touched the Embroidered Spring Knife on Zeng Chongqi's waist, and his legs almost fell to his knees in front of Zeng Chongqi!
Fortunately, Lu Cheng supported him in time.
"Cousin, don't scare Mr. Lu." Meng Shisan said, then he remembered that Zeng Chongqi would appear on Jifei Street, he must have official business, "If you are busy, go ahead, I have nothing to do here, you don't have to worry."
"That's right, Master Zeng, don't worry. With Luo by her side, Miss Meng will definitely not suffer any harm." Lu Luo was also born into a powerful and wealthy family. He understood exactly what Zeng Chongqi meant when he looked at Lu Man.
Zeng Chongqi did not respond to Lu Luo's words. He only said to Meng Shisan, "I'm not busy. If you really want to go to Lu Dongjia's house to see the ancient paintings, I will go with you."
Finally, he glanced at Lu Luo and said, "I won't bother you, Second Young Master Lu."
"No trouble, no trouble." Lu Luo quickly expressed his opinion. He must go with them to see the ancient paintings anyway!
When Cui Yu received news from Jin Baixi that Meng Shisan was going to Lu's noodle shop in person, he had not thought much about going to the gate of Quexian Building from the small courtyard at the back to take a look. It was not until Meng Shisan severely punished Quan Duode with thundering means that he came to the gate of his own business with great interest.
During the time he stayed there, he saw Quan Duode being carried unconscious by the Meng residence's guards to the hospital. He also saw that Meng Shisan then ordered the destruction of Quan Duode's noodle shop, as well as the three-day deadline for a tooth-for-tooth fight.
Every scene he stopped to see seemed familiar to him.
This familiar feeling was like seeing the person dear to his heart, who was just as decisive and ruthless back then. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
When he came to his senses, he saw Zeng Chongqi: "Why is the young master of the Zeng family here too?"
Jin Baixi had been standing next to Cui Yu: "He must have heard the noise."
Quan Dode lost so much blood after being bitten by the silver fox. Although he has been sent to the hospital, Miss Meng then asked Miss Baozhu to take the remaining four guards to smash up the noodle shop next door to Lu's noodle shop.
Not only was someone almost killed, but a perfectly good store was smashed to pieces. With such a loud commotion, how could the Jinyiwei, who have ears and eyes everywhere, not hear anything?
After hearing the noise and knowing it was related to Miss Meng, how could Master Zeng, her maternal cousin, not come?
Of course he will come.
As soon as he finished answering, he saw Cui Yu heading towards Lu's noodles.
Jin Baixi showed no surprise on his face and even smiled, but did not follow.
Zhuo Quan asked quietly, "Won't the shopkeeper follow?"
Jin Baixi turned around and stepped over the threshold of the Quexian Building: "No, I still have to look after the store."
He guessed that the boss not only went to the Lu family for noodles, but also followed Miss Meng to Lu Man's house to see the ancient paintings.
Meng Shisan left as soon as he said he would, and immediately asked Lu Man to lead the way.
Lu Man handed over the kitchen to Lu Cheng, who was already a capable chef, and soon came back to the outside of the store.
At this moment, the onlookers have almost dispersed.
In fact, after Zeng Chongqi and his two captains stood in front of Lu's Noodles and started talking to Meng Shisan, no matter whether there were customers or passers-by inside or outside the store, or the waiters in the opposite or neighboring stores who were watching the fun, they were all like Lu Man, they shrank their necks in fear and dared not to watch the fun anymore.
Cui Yu arrived outside the Lu family noodle shop, where Lu Cheng came out after Lu Man had given Lu instructions.
"Miss Meng, Second Master Lu, and First Master Zeng." Cui Yu greeted the three with a smile on his face, "Where are you three planning to go?"
As he spoke, his eyes fell on Luman's face.
He didn't expect any of the three people he asked to answer him. To know the answer, he had to look to Luman.
Sure enough, the next moment, Lu Man answered, "Master Cui Qi, if the three nobles follow me to my home, they can see an ancient painting passed down by my ancestors. If Master Cui Qi is free..."
"I'm free!" Cui Yu responded hurriedly.
It was so fast that Lu Luo and Zeng Chongqi who were present looked at him and frowned.
He smiled and said, "Master Lu has invited me so kindly. If I refuse, it would be a real disappointment."
In fact, Lu Man just asked casually and didn't expect Cui Yu to agree: "..."
Meng Shisan had a tense face. She really didn't want to go with Cui Yu.
But just as Cui Yu said, it was indeed Lu Man who made the first invitation, and Cui Yu accepted it later. She was not the one who made the decision, so no matter how unwilling she was, she had to hold back.
