Chapter 123 Why are you bullying him?
The inn was very lively, and every table on the first floor was full of people.
Huangfu Yuesheng was about to go upstairs when a voice came from behind, "Miss Yue?"
Hearing the voice, she turned around and saw Lu Rongqi wearing a black skirt. The hem of her skirt was very short, only reaching her ankles.
Lu Rongqi tied her hair into a high ponytail, and her outfit looked very capable.
Huangfu Yuesheng walked over.
Lu Rongqi didn't expect to see her in Beimo.
Just now I felt that the white figure was very familiar, and I looked at it twice before I dared to call out.
But she had a doubt.
"Miss Yue, didn't you leave Ningyang City to go back and get married? Why are you here?"
Facing Lu Rongqi's question, Huangfu Yuesheng answered calmly, "I still need to do a business deal here, and I'll go back after I'm done."
"I see." Lu Rongqi expressed his understanding. "I am here to do business as well. What goods did you bring?"
"Some fabric."
"Hahaha." Lu Rongqi found an empty table, "Let's sit down and talk."
"Master Lu, do you know that Ning Yuheng is missing?"
"You're still thinking about my cousin." Lu Rongqi's eyes showed an "I understand" expression, and he said in a teasing tone: "Do you think my cousin is good? But even if you like him, I won't agree to him being your concubine."
Miss Yue has a fiancé in her hometown waiting for her to return and get married.
Lu Rongqi couldn't bear to see her cousin humble himself.
It is normal for a woman to have three husbands and four concubines, but given my cousin's status, my aunt does not agree to marry him as a concubine.
Huangfu Yuesheng did not expect her to bring up this topic.
Judging from Lu Rongqi's expression, she probably doesn't know that Ning Yuheng is missing.
Huangfu Yuesheng said succinctly: "Your cousin is missing."
"What are you kidding! My cousin is not missing. He has been sick since the day you left Ningyang City. He has been recuperating in the mansion. There is no way he can run away!" Lu Rongqi was no longer in the mood to joke.
"I saw him on the way to Beimo. He said that all his servants were killed by bandits and he couldn't find his way back. I saw that he was your cousin, so I took him with me."
"My cousin is here with you?!" Lu Rongqi was shocked and murmured, "It's impossible. He has been recuperating in the mansion. How could he run so far..."
Lu Rongqi looked at Miss Yue again. This person is so charming!
So my cousin pretended to be sick just to cover up his tracks. He wanted to leave Ningyang City to find her from the beginning!
I don't know if Ning Yuheng was injured...
"Where's my cousin?"
"In the courtyard in the east of the city. Follow me now."
Lu Rongqi reacted, "Hey, it seems like you are looking for me on purpose..."
"I'm just passing by and coming in to buy something." Huangfu Yuesheng raised his hand and called a waiter, "Is the three pounds of beef ready?"
The waiter nodded and bowed, "Please wait a moment, sir. It will be ready soon!"
Lu Rongqi asked suspiciously, "Why come to the inn instead of going to the restaurant to buy food?"
"It can also be bought at the inn. I'll stop by here when I pass by. I don't have to walk so far to the next restaurant." Huangfu Yuesheng said nonsense without changing his expression.
Lu Rongqi seemed to be thinking about something, and did not dwell on this question any more.
"How is my cousin doing? Is he showing any symptoms of acclimatization?"
"No."
The two of them stared at each other face to face.
After a while, the waiter packed up three pounds of beef and brought it to Huangfu Yuesheng's table.
"Sir, your beef is ready!"
Huangfu Yuesheng mentioned the beef and said, "Let's go."
Lu Rongqi followed behind her.
"Kunxu City doesn't look as good as Ningyang City. If I hadn't received my mother's order to do business with City Lord Ma, I wouldn't have come here at all."
Huangfu Yuesheng asked casually: "Does your Lu family know City Lord Ma?"
Lu Rongqi: "Although my family runs a bank, we also do some other business. If we want to open a shop in various cities, we have to deal with powerful officials. You know this principle better than me!"
Huangfu Yuesheng nodded perfunctorily, "Yeah."
In the blink of an eye, Lu Rongqi followed Huangfu Yuesheng to the small courtyard she mentioned.
Huangfu Yuesheng pushed the door open. The people inside were not sure what they were doing, and four pairs of eyes looked at him.
Ning Yuheng sat on the ground and Yu stood beside him.
Both boys looked bewildered.
Seeing her cousin sitting on the ground, Lu Rongqi cried out "Ouch" and ran over to him, "Cousin, why are you sitting on the ground?"
Yu looked a little flustered, with his hands behind his back.
Ning Yuheng didn't want Lu Rongqi's support and stood up by himself. His meticulously combed black hair was disheveled and the cloth on his chest was wrinkled, as if someone had pulled it hard!
Huangfu Yuesheng put the beef away.
"What are you doing?"
Yu spoke quickly: "We were playing a game and he accidentally fell down. I didn't push him!"
Huangfu Yuesheng's eyebrows jumped, and he looked at him carefully with his calm eyes. From the small movement of his fingers pinching his sleeves, he knew that he had done something wrong.
"Well, it seems like you guys have become good friends and are having a really 'good time'."
Ning Yuheng said gently: "Cousin, Miss Yue."
He secretly looked at the girl behind his cousin, and his cheeks turned red. I guess she didn't see the ugly behavior just now...
Ning Yuheng bit her lower lip and asked, "Miss Yue is not going out tonight?"
"Well, I will have dinner with everyone tonight." Huangfu Yuesheng said lightly, "Young Master Lu will also have dinner here."
Lu Rongqi looked Ning Yuheng up and down, walked around him twice, and found that he was not thinner or darker, so she felt relieved immediately.
She said, "Come with me."
Ning Yuheng was pulled away by Lu Rongqi.
They are talking over there.
Huangfu Yuesheng took Yu to the kitchen and said in a low voice: "Why are you bullying him?"
"I didn't bully him!" Yu pouted, his clear eyes were as round as grapes, looking at her without blinking, his tone was very innocent, "Sheng'er, Ning Yuheng is a green tea, he is so scheming! I was talking to him, discussing what to eat tonight, and then he sat on the ground by himself and tore his clothes! Sheng'er! He was just pretending for you! Acting pitiful to gain your attention!"
The more he talked, the more Yu gritted his teeth!
Huangfu Yuesheng thought for a moment, not knowing whether to believe what he saw or what he said.
I don’t know what to make of it for a moment.
"Angry?"
"Well..." Yu felt aggrieved, "If Sheng'er favors him, I will be sad to death."
Huangfu Yuesheng's mouth twitched, "I believe what you said."
Yu raised the corners of his mouth happily, his clear black and white eyes curved in a satisfied smile.
Huangfu Yuesheng called the mute slave over and said, "Go outside and buy some more vegetables."
The mute slave nodded.
Lu Rongqi stood under the wall of the yard, far away from the kitchen.
She scolded in a low voice: "Ning Yuheng, you have grown up! If your aunt knew that you ran out alone, you would get your legs broken when you go back!"
