Chapter 137 The City Lord's Daughter Sends Help 14

When they arrived at Xuanwu City, they were met by the fifth son of the city lord, Zhiliang. As soon as he arrived, he spoke to Luo Chen enthusiastically and asked Luo Chen to stay for a few more days and he would take her out to play.

Originally, Zhiqing was supposed to come to pick her up, but the eldest lady already knew what this illegitimate son was thinking, so how could she let him have this opportunity? He was temporarily sent out to buy grapefruits that the lady liked to eat, and the job of picking up the person was assigned by the eldest lady to her youngest son. If he could marry the beloved daughter of the Lord of Qinglong City, then their direct lineage would be completely secure.

Zhiqing had no choice but to go out of town to buy grapefruits reluctantly. Before leaving, he told Ma and Ma Yuhe that if he didn't come back in time, they should go and make friends with Luo Chen.

Ma told him to go without worry, she would take care of everything and would definitely not let Luo Chen run away this time.

Zhiqing was somewhat worried about Ma, so he could only give some instructions to Ma Yuhe and asked her to get close to Luo Chen at the banquet. Ma Yuhe was quite jealous for this and was coaxed by Zhiqing for a long time.

After checking into the inn, Zhiliang went back to report. They rested for a night. The next day, Zhiliang really came and said he wanted to take Luo Chen out to play. Luo Chen happily agreed. Shen Muxi wanted to follow, but was rejected by Luo Chen, who said that it would not be dangerous to follow the Fifth Young Master. Zhiliang also repeatedly assured He Fancheng that Luo Chen would never be harmed, and then the two left.

He Fancheng looked at Shen Muxi, who had been staring at Luo Chen, and chuckled. Then when he looked over, he quickly put away his smile and said, "Muxi, you stay in the inn first. I'll go out to get some information and see what people think."

Shen Muxi became even angrier and stared at He Fancheng with cold eyes, but He Fancheng pretended not to feel it and walked out in a cool manner.

On the birthday of the eldest lady, Zhiqing rode back at full speed, but as soon as he came back, he heard Ma Yuhe tell him that Luo Chen and the fifth young master were very close. In the past two days, they had been hanging out in various shops on the street, and people on the street were speculating whether Qinglong City and Xuanwu City were going to form a marriage.

Zhi Qing immediately changed his clothes and took gifts to the inn to find Luo Chen, but he only saw Shen Muxi and He Fancheng. Luo Chen was asked out by the Fifth Young Master again.

Zhi Qing looked at Shen Muxi, who broke his wrist last time, with vicious eyes. He would never let this commoner go this time on the territory of Xuanwu City.

Luo Chen knew that Zhi Qing came to see her, but she ignored him and pretended not to know.

On the day of the banquet, Luo Chen dressed herself up and went to the City Lord's Mansion with He Fancheng and Shen Muxi.

As soon as they arrived there, Madam Zhi immediately pulled Luo Chen in affectionately. Zhi Liang was also accompanying his mother. There was also a noble lady, who was Madam Zhi's eldest daughter-in-law, who spoke to Luo Chen with a standard fake smile.

After saying a few words, Mrs. Zhi made an excuse to go and greet other people, asked Zhiliang to stay with Luo Chen, and then left with her eldest daughter-in-law.

Luo Chen suggested that Zhiliang take her to visit the City Lord's Mansion.

Zhi Liang naively thought that Luo Chen also had feelings for him, so he took Luo Chen to visit the City Lord's Mansion, explaining what this place was and what that place was as they looked around. Luo Chen carefully memorized the route map of the City Lord's Mansion.

Zhi Qing always wanted to talk to Luo Chen, but he couldn't find a chance because Zhi Liang was always there and he didn't dare to show up too much.

Ma Yuhe could only be allowed to approach Luo Chen.

Ma Yuhe looked at Luo Chen wearing gold and jade and felt extremely envious. She wondered why she didn’t have such a good family. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have to stay in a corner alone with no one paying attention to her, nor would she have to hide from her cousin. They could be together openly and her cousin would only have one wife.

Even if my cousin divorces this woman in the future, it will not change the fact that she has become his second wife.

Seeing Ma Yuhe staring at Luo Chen in a daze, Zhi Qing pulled Ma Yuhe irritably.

Ma Yuhe glanced at Zhiqing, smiled and walked forward: "Yuhe meets Miss Meng."

Luo Chen looked at the heroine and asked, "Whose daughter is this girl?"

Zhiliang explained: "A concubine of the Ma family, the niece of one of my father's concubines, her family is in business."

Ma Yuhe's face turned pale. She hated it most when people said she was a concubine's daughter. Although it was true, why did they always have to point it out? Aren't they all daughters of the Ma family?

"Hello, Miss Ma. I've heard Aunt Ma mention you, and I've also heard Master Zhiqing talk about you."

Ma Yuhe's eyes suddenly lit up and she said, "Really? Did my cousin really mention me to you? What did he say?"

Luo Chen said: "He said that you are the one he loves the most and he will not marry anyone else in this life."

Ma Yuhe was about to be happy, but suddenly she remembered her purpose, and quickly put away the joy on her face, saying, "Miss, you must have misunderstood. We are just siblings, not lovers. But my cousin once said that he and you were childhood sweethearts, and you took good care of him, and he liked you very much."

Although she said this, Ma Yuhe's face still turned red.

Zhiliang, who was standing aside, narrowed his eyes and looked at Ma Yuhe. The smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a stern look.

Then he said, "Really? I haven't heard Fourth Brother mention Luo Chen, but he often mentioned Miss Ma. He also gave her a lot of things, such as bracelets, hairpins, and jade pendants. Oh, I also remember giving her a comb. And Aunt Ma often talked about letting Miss Ma marry into her family as a daughter-in-law. I remember it clearly. Many people in the mansion know about it."

Ma Yuhe didn't know what to say for a moment. She was worried that Luo Chen would ruin their plan if he knew about it. But at the same time, she was excited because she could make Luo Chen realize that his cousin liked her.

Luo Chen was quite happy after hearing this and said, "Really? It looks like we'll be able to drink in Master Zhiqing and Miss Ma's wedding wine soon. I'd like to congratulate them first."

Ma Yuhe explained in a panic: "No, we are really just brother and sister, I..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhiliang: "The banquet is about to start, let's go over there. There are many specialties from Xuanwu City on the table today, Luo Chen, go and try some."

Luo Chen nodded and agreed, and the two of them left together. Ma Yuhe looked at the two of them with mixed feelings, and walked away slowly. She didn't respond when Zhiqing asked her questions.

Zhi Qing was anxious to wake up this wandering soul, but how could it be useless at the critical moment? It would be better for him to rely on himself.

After taking their seats, Luo Chen was placed at the first seat, He Fancheng and Shen Muxi were placed at the second and third seats respectively.

Ma Yuhe was at the very back, with no place for her at the front. She looked at Luo Chen, who was sitting at the front, and her heart was filled with jealousy, wishing she could take his place.

In the middle of the banquet, Zhiyuan's group of sons came to wish Madam Zhi a happy birthday. Madam Zhi looked at these illegitimate sons, and although she smiled on her face, she wished she could drive them all out in her heart.
