Chapter 122 Collecting Interest

Sunny weather is always a good mood.

Luo Mingchuan stood quietly at the door of the inn, as if watching the people coming and going on the street.

It was like not looking at anything, just wanting the warm sunshine to sweep away all the haze.

"Girl, you can go." Xia Lu came over and said softly.

The driver she was looking for was about 40 years old, of medium build, with dark skin.

Wearing a navy blue bunt and a bamboo hat.

He looks honest and honest, very reliable.

When seeing Luo Mingchuan, he bowed and saluted, "Girl!"

Luo Mingchuan nodded, "It's been a long journey."

The coachman blushed and didn't even dare to speak.

"Chuncao, go and buy a few steamed buns, save them for the road." Before getting into the car, Luo Mingchuan suddenly turned around and ordered.

The curtains fell, and the carriage kicked and started to drive.

Two people flashed out from the corner, looking at the receding carriage.

One of them said to the other: "Go, go back and report to the young master, he has already left, there is nothing unusual."

While talking, the two turned around and entered the inn.

············
On the carriage, Chuncao put the buns aside, and showed Luo Mingchuan the note in her hand, "Girl, look!"

Luo Mingchuan took it, and looked at the two words "well" on it.

Leaning his back on the carriage relaxedly, his hanging heart slowly fell back to the original place, and let out a breath slowly.

As long as it's okay, otherwise, her trip was wasted.

"Uncle, let's eat the buns!" Xia Lu handed out a greased paper bag.

The coachman was not polite, he stretched out his hand to take it, grinned and thanked, "Thank you, miss."

In their line of work, the skin has been honed a long time ago, and it is past the time when the face can't be worn.

Xia Lu handed a bun to Luo Mingchuan's hand, and asked softly, "Girl, what about Zhao Pan?"

Luo Mingchuan tore a piece of bun and put it in his mouth, chewing lightly, "We don't go to see him, he is safer instead."

Chuncao didn't understand, but she was more unwilling, "What went wrong?!"

Without even thinking about it, Luo Mingchuan spit out three words, "Suzhou Mansion!"

Obviously, she has been targeted long ago.

what? !

Both Chuncao and Xia Lu were taken aback. They never thought that the problem would lie in the base camp.

"Girl, then...that..." Chuncao opened her mouth, really not knowing what to say.

Luo Mingchuan swallowed the bun in his mouth, shook his head and said, "Don't panic! It's just a guess, there is no evidence."

If not, no one will be guarded in the store.

Or, do they simply want to make a fool of themselves? !
Not to mention, with that person's stinking virtue, it's really possible.

Xia Lu asked puzzledly: "Then what do they want to do?!"

Luo Mingchuan pondered for a while, and then said nonchalantly: "I didn't think about it clearly for a while. But, there is no rush.

A fox's tail is always exposed. "

Looking at the girl's appearance, she already knows who is behind this scene.

Chuncao asked wonderingly: "What about Xiao Butou and Jiang Butou?" Didn't they always want to go with us?
How come it disappears as you walk?
Xia Lu was also not sure, "Probably there was a murder case, so they stayed to deal with it?!"

Luo Mingchuan didn't care about the whereabouts of the two of them. She casually picked up another bun and ate it in small bites.

Seeing that she was silent, Chuncao carefully prepared her words, "Girl, Mr. Yan..."

"We don't need to worry about it." Luo Mingchuan said lightly.

With Yan Xun present, Tao Yiran naturally did not dare to do anything to himself.

Furthermore, Yan Xun did not vent his anger on the Tao family.

It can be seen from the two slaps he slapped Tao Yiran.

Of course, it cannot be said that Mr. Yan is generous and does not hold grudges.It can only be said that he is very scheming.

He wants those people to fight each other, and after both losers, he can reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Xia Lu: "The following things have nothing to do with us. I just don't worry if those people will come to trouble us."

Chuncao chewed the steamed stuffed bun and said vaguely: "Are we people who are afraid of trouble?"

Come one, kill one.Come two, kill one pair.

Luo Mingchuan smiled and nodded, "Chuncao is right, we don't cause trouble, but we are definitely not afraid of trouble!"

Xia Lu nodded with firm eyes, "What the girl said is true."

Luo Mingchuan pondered for a while, "At Zhao Pan's side, let people watch more."

She didn't trust him completely, but she didn't want anything to happen to him either.

After the voice fell, she closed her eyes and stopped talking.

The carriage shook slightly, and she was also a little sleepy.

But I couldn't fall asleep anyway.

For some reason, an uncle with a scar on his face suddenly appeared in his mind, constantly stirring the syrup with a spoon.

She wanted to work hard to see clearly that this person was the one she met on the street earlier.

It's still the one who set up a stall in Anran Juli.

Unfortunately, no matter how wide she opened her eyes, she couldn't see clearly.

Ugh!
When he woke up, Luo Mingchuan didn't want to open his eyes either.

·······················
"My lord!" Luo Li walked to Luo Xi's side, and reported in a low voice, "I just went to inquire, and Miss Luo and the three of them are indeed staying in this inn."

"What about now?" Luo Xi frowned unobtrusively.

Luo Li said, "Let's go!"

After a pause, he said, "The three of them... walked together."

Luo Xi turned to look at him, and asked in a gentle tone, "Why do you need to explain one more thing?"

Of course I want to see you happy
For some reason, meeting Luo Xi's faint gaze, Luo Li suddenly panicked, racked his brains, and tried his best to stop his words, "That...that, I just wanted to say... I want to say that, for some reason, their coachman has disappeared."

"What do you mean missing?"

"It's just... I heard that Xia Lu went to the market over there and hired a driver." Luo Li watched his young master's face cautiously, and secretly swallowed.

Luo Xi's fingers tapped the table rhythmically.

He still had an impression of Si Mohan.The man was taciturn and had no sense of presence.

He looked very ordinary, but he never regarded him as an ordinary person.

Sometimes he doesn't understand that there is such a person beside Luo Mingchuan.

Why did Mr. Zuo still find him and let him cooperate with Luo Mingchuan to go to Linzhou Mansion?
Seeing that Luo Xi was lost in thought, Luo Li was secretly relieved.

At the same time, he also warned himself that in the future, he must not talk too much about things that the young master does not ask.

He couldn't explain why he suddenly had such an idea.

"Do you know where you are going?" Luo Xi asked softly.

Who is it?

Luo Li didn't react for a while, "What did you say?"

Luo Xi turned to look at him, "Si Mohan... is that his name?!"

Luo Li nodded ignorantly, "Yes, it seems to be called that name."

"Where did he go?"

Luo Li understood this time, "I don't know either. I haven't heard of it."

Luo Xi sighed: "It's useless to ask."

Luo Li couldn't understand, when did the young master start to care so much about a groom? !
When he turned his head, he just saw Ding Xixi walking in, as if he had found a backer, "Master, Miss Ding is here."

Luo Xi was not very interested, she lowered her head and sipped her tea.

"Master Luo." Ding Xixi sat down at the table and greeted with a smile.

Luo Xi raised her head, with a warm smile on her face, "Does Miss Ding stay here for a few days, or leave right away?"

The smile on Ding Xixi's face paused, "Master Luo, what do you mean?"

This is to get rid of yourself?

Luo Xi smiled and said, "Just ask."

Ding Xixi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "If Mr. Luo doesn't dislike it, I still want to be with you."

She seemed to be worried that Luo Xi would be unhappy, and added: "I know, I have caused trouble for the young master, but..."

She pursed her lips, but said nothing.

She felt that this was the end of what she had said.A smart person like Luo Xi will definitely understand.

Sure enough, Luo Xi did not disappoint her.

He pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "In that case, let's go together."

"Hmm!" A big smile appeared on Ding Xixi's face.

Seeing Luo Xi looking over, she quickly lowered her head as if to cover up, "Hehe, this tea is quite good."

Luo Xi hooked the corners of her lips and raised a faint smile.

Ding Xixi lowered her head, and the smile on her face deepened.

Luo Li looked around, but said nothing.

Tao Yiran walked down the stairs, seeing the two people sitting and drinking tea together, he couldn't help but pause in his footsteps.

After pondering for a moment, he turned around and walked over, "Second Young Master?!"

Luo Xi looked up at the person who came, and was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up, "So it's Mr. Tao San, long time no see."

Tao Yiran cupped his hands and saluted, "Is it really the Second Young Master?! I thought I had the wrong person."

Luo Xi smiled and invited, "If the third son doesn't mind, let's sit down and have a cup of tea together."

Tao Yiran was also polite, "It's rare to meet the second son, how could you dislike him?"

He turned his head, as if he suddenly found Ding Xixi, "This is..."

Luo Xi smiled and introduced: "This is Miss Ding Xixiding."

"Miss Ding, you're being polite!" Tao Yiran bowed his hands and said hello solemnly.

Ding Xixi bowed his knees and saluted, "Third Young Master, you are polite."

The two of them were polite, as if they were meeting each other for the first time.

Ding Xixi looked very calm, but her heart was in her throat.

Tao Yiran is a good friend of his third brother.When they greeted each other before.

And when Tao Yiran saw that he was so polite and alienated, it meant that something was wrong between him and the third brother.

She knew that members of a big family all had the arrogance of a big family.

He doesn't need to argue with the third brother immediately, but he can ask for some interest from her.

This is also the reason why she begged for nothing and insisted on following Luo Xi's side.

Anyway, when the storm is coming, there will be someone to protect her, right?
Tao Yiran rolled his eyes, and looked at Luo Xi curiously, "Mr. Luo and Miss Ding are traveling together?"

This question is a bit too direct, right? !

Luo Xi was a little unhappy, but still had a decent smile on his face, "It was just a chance encounter."

This Tao Yiran is really not a fuel-efficient lamp!
Ding Xixi cursed secretly in his heart, but his face was peaceful, "Young Master Tao misunderstood."

A simple sentence expresses the indifference and confidence in my heart.

Tao Yiran really murmured in his heart, where did Ding Xixi get his confidence?
Could it be that it really has something to do with Luo Xi?

Tao Yiran exchanged pleasantries with Luo Xi on the face, but he had to weigh Luo Xi's weight in his heart.

Luo Xi is the second son of the prefect of Jiangzhou Prefecture.

Although the Tao family's influence in Jiangzhou Prefecture does not need to fear the magistrate, the county magistrate is not as good as he is now.

Furthermore, he didn't want to cause any trouble to the Tao family.

In the words of the common people, without having three knives and two axes, how could one become a magistrate?

Although the Luo family is not a family of hairpin tassels, it has a century-old heritage.

Therefore, the power of their family should not be underestimated.

After thinking it over, Tao Yi decided to wait and see before talking.

"Second Young Master, is this going on a trip?" Tao Yiran asked casually.

Luo Xi smiled and shook his head, "Not really. I'm going to my ancestor's house outside Linzhou Prefecture."

Tao Yiran smiled, "What a coincidence, I happen to be planning to go to Linzhou Mansion too. If the Second Young Master doesn't dislike it, why don't we go together?!"

Luo Xi said with a gentle smile, "That's a wishful thing!"

These words are really not polite!

I didn't feel it a few days ago, but now I feel more and more inconvenient to go with Ding Xixi.

But if he lost her as a girl halfway, he felt that he couldn't do such a thing.

With Tao resolutely joining, he immediately felt relieved.

Finally, I can make it clear.

The specific why must be explained clearly, and to whom to explain clearly, he himself can't figure it out.

Ding Xixi lowered her eyes and sipped her tea obediently.The ears are pricked up.

When she heard Tao Yiran said that she wanted to walk together.

It's really a mixed blessing.

The happy thing is that she made the right bet, the big tree Luo Xi is really useful.

What is worrying is that her crisis is still not completely resolved.

She took a sip of her tea, thinking about how to deal with it.

How can Tao Yiran give up his plan to collect interest?
Unfortunately, there are many circles in my mind, and I can't come up with an idea.

Really useless!

When the critical moment comes, just drop the chain!

Ding Xixi despises herself in her heart.

When he raised his eyes, he was facing Tao Yiran's calm eyes with a smile.

Her heart trembled, could it be that the other party had already seen her thoughts?
Thinking of this, she only felt a chill down her spine, and a layer of goose bumps appeared on her body.

While chatting with Luo Xi, Tao Yiran secretly looked at Ding Xixi.

Curling the corners of her lips, she couldn't help laughing.

Ding Xixi's heart sank even more. Judging by his posture, this guy is sure to win him!

It's just: what went wrong between him and the third brother, so that people treat her sister like this?
