Chapter 2472 Two Ants (1)
When Cheng mu heard the News from the Inn manager, he was stunned for a long time. He could not figure out what Leng ruoxue was trying to do.
If he didn"t remember wrongly, they couldn"t escape responsibility for his injuries, right? He actually went to the city Lord"s mansion to treat someone"s illness. Wasn"t this sending sheep into the Tiger"s mouth?
At that time, in his eyes, Leng ruoxue was just a sheep. As a friend of Leng ruoxue "s, he naturally could not watch Leng ruoxue and the others be in danger. Hence, when he found out about this matter, he strongly requested his brother to bring him to the city Lord"s residence to look for her. That was why the scene above had happened.
In the city Lord"s mansion, Cheng mu did not have to search for long before she found Leng ruoxue and the rest. It was really easy to find as there were many places in the city Lord"s mansion that were not hidden. However, never in his dreams did he expect that he would be ignored like that. This fact made him quite depressed. The brother that Empress er called to support her was actually a traitor. This was definitely a heavy blow to Cheng mu.
Unfortunately, at this moment, Leng ruoxue and the others were only focused on reminiscing about the past. No one paid attention to Cheng MU"s gloominess. By the time they realized it, Cheng mu was already wis.h.i.+ng she could hide in a corner and draw circles.
"You"re all bad people! They"re all bad people!" They saw Cheng mu crouching among the ruins and mumbling non-stop. When Leng ruoxue and the rest heard this, they did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"Who are you talking about?" Leng ruoxue chuckled as she asked.
"Hmph! Who else could it be? of course, it"s that hateful woman!" When he heard someone talking to him, Cheng mu did not even raise his head and answered reflexively. When he realized that something was wrong and raised his head, he saw Leng ruoxue looking at him with a faint smile. Instantly, he was so frightened that he quivered.
"That evil woman? Me?" Leng ruoxue asked shamelessly with a smile.
"No, no, how could it be you! It was Lu Rong! Right! It"s that evil woman, Lu Rong!" Cheng muxiao"s heart was trembling, and she was so scared that she quickly said.
"Are you going to see Lu Rong?" Leng ruoxue suddenly asked when she heard him mention Lu Rong.
"Eh? Why are you looking at her?" Cheng mu blinked her eyes in confusion.
"If you don"t watch it now, you might not be able to in the future!" Leng ruoxue laughed evilly.
"No way? Then I"ll go take a look. " Cheng mu immediately perked up when she heard that.
But when he saw city Lord Lu and Lu Rong, he was still shocked even though he had already prepared for the worst.
"W-what"s wrong with them?" In city Lord Lu"s room, Cheng MU"s hand trembled as he pointed at the father and daughter, whose bodies were covered with silver needles. He was so scared that he stuttered.
Oh my G.o.d! Was he still human? He did not know why, but he suddenly sympathized with the father and daughter. Looking at their situation, Cheng mu really felt that compared to them, he seemed to be considered lucky!
When he thought of this, he turned his head carefully to look at Leng ruoxue, and he became much more well-behaved. These people were not to be offended! He had to be careful in the future!
Cheng mu went to Leng ruoxue"s side and asked with a smile,""Xue "er, can we go back now?" He didn"t want to stay here any longer. This place was too terrifying.
"Go back? The head butler didn"t allow us to go back, saying that they would only let us go when their city Lord is well. More importantly, the city Lord"s mansion hasn"t paid me for my treatment yet! That"s why we can"t leave now. " Leng ruoxue said calmly.
Although her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, the head butler, who was being scolded not far away, could still hear her clearly. Instantly, the head butler could not help but burst into tears.
Wu ... If he had known that these people were old friends with the young masters of the Cheng and ning families, he would not have dared to force these people to stay in the city Lord"s mansion even if he was beaten to death! Now, not only had he been exposed, but the main family had also charged him with the crime of not reporting the information.
The unlucky chief butler, who thought that he could hide the matter flawlessly, now knew that his life in the family would not be easy in the future. In addition, there was the city Lord. Even if he was cured, he was afraid that he would not be able to keep his position. As for the young lady, he did not know what would happen to her.
However, just based on the fact that the young lady had dared to put the Cheng family in prison, the Lu family would not let her off easily in order to give the Cheng family an explanation.
After thinking clearly about their crimes, the head butler could only plead guilty and try his best to admit his mistakes, hoping that the elder sent by the main family would spare him on account of his good att.i.tude in confessing.
Unfortunately, no matter how well he admitted to his crime and how clearly he confessed, the elder sent by the Lu clan did not intend to let him off easily. He could only blame it on his bad luck.
After that, the elder of the Lu family apologized to Leng ruoxue and made it clear that he would pay Leng ruoxue back as soon as possible.
Leng ruoxue saw that this Lu clan"s elder was rather sincere, so she did not make things difficult for him. She only told him to send the reward to the inn, then she left the city Lord"s residence with the demon and the rest.
After hearing some of Leng ruoxue"s glorious deeds from her brother, Cheng mu thought that he could see Leng ruoxue show off her might and ruthlessly beat up the Lu family. Unfortunately, his wish did not come true, and he could not help but feel disappointed.
When they returned to the inn, Cheng mu immediately followed Leng ruoxue and the rest into the room. She asked shamelessly,""Xue "er, you"re just going to let the Lu family off like this?"
"What else?" Leng ruoxue looked at Cheng mu in amus.e.m.e.nt. She thought to herself,"did this guy think that I"m a violent person and want to start a ma.s.sacre over a small matter?"
"You should teach the Lu family a good lesson!" Cheng mu said matter-of-factly.
"Didn"t I already teach him a lesson?" Leng ruoxue smiled as she reminded.
"Uh! That counts as one!" Cheng mu was a little speechless.
"Do you want me to destroy the Lu family? If that"s the case, then everyone in the divine realm will treat me as a great devil. " Leng ruoxue said helplessly.
"Little brat, Xue "er knows what she"s doing. Don"t add to the trouble." At this moment, Cheng Xuan, who could not stand it anymore, slapped Cheng MU"s head and scolded angrily.
"Brother, you actually hit me?" Cheng mu, who had been beaten up, looked at Cheng Xuan with an aggrieved expression.
Seeing this, Leng ruoxue couldn"t help but ask out of curiosity,""Are you guys really brothers?" Why was there such a huge difference in their personalities?
"He"s my uncle"s son. " When Cheng Xuan heard Leng ruoxue"s question, he explained.
When Leng ruoxue heard this, she nodded her head to show that she understood.
"Xue "er, when do you plan to leave Chuan city?" Ning haolan suddenly asked.
"It could happen at any time." Leng ruoxue replied honestly. With these two young masters around, the Lu clan would not dare to stop them from leaving the city.
"Then I"ll go with you." Ning haolan said after some thought.
"I want to go with you." Cheng Xuan quickly said, not to be outdone.
"You? Aren"t you going to return to the Cheng family?" Leng ruoxue was speechless. The young master of the Cheng family was always loitering outside. If the old man from the Cheng family knew about this, he would definitely have a bad opinion of her.
