Chapter 174 An Open Confrontation

Facing the window on the second floor, looking at the street outside, the street is very lively with people coming and going.

Sure enough, it was getting warmer, and people came out of the house one after another, doing their own work.

Luo Ziqing sighed slightly, for some reason, standing in his current position did not bring him any happiness.

Instead, a kind of numbness and emptiness appeared in my heart.

It seems that something is missing, but I don't know what it is.

"Young Master." Someone beside him called out.

He pulled back his thoughts, "What?"

The visitor hesitated for a moment, "Yes..."

Luo Ziqing raised his head and saw Luo Ziyan's figure, standing at the corner of the stairs, he was wearing an extremely ordinary black robe.

But he still couldn't hide his invisible extravagance and coldness.

"How did you come?"

"Can't I come?" Luo Ziyan pursed his lips and walked in front of Luo Ziqing.

Luo Ziqing glanced at the servant beside him, waved his hand, and signaled him to go down.

The boy left, and there were only the two of them left in front of the window, smiling and looking at each other, but they were no longer as real and close as before.

"Brother is here to watch the scenery, very comfortable."

"Hehe, it's okay, life will be more fulfilling without the second brother, right?"

"Brother is really good at talking, what is fulfilling is obviously hard work."

Luo Ziqing didn't seem to believe it, "Second brother can do anything. Second brother is loved by the whole family since he was born, unlike me..."

"But now, isn't everything in the hands of the elder brother? Should the elder brother be satisfied?"

Satisfied?Luo Ziqing laughed at himself, the void in his heart seemed to be understood by no one.

But he didn't continue this topic, but said bluntly: "Second brother, we don't need polite greetings anymore, if you have anything to do, just talk about it."

"Alright, I don't want to waste too much time." Luo Ziyan looked out the window at the blue sky, "Brother, why did you dig our corner."

"The corner?"

"Yes, you also know that the cotton fields are in my hands. This season is the time to plant cotton fields. Ziming has already found workers and negotiated prices. You have to come in and raise prices to poach these workers. , don't you think, you are doing too much?"

Suspicion flashed across Luo Ziqing's eyes.

Then he smiled and said, "If you can hire workers, why can't I?"

"Brother, don't make such jokes. You don't have cotton fields in your hands, only Sangtian, but Sangtian is not in Mingzhou at all. You are here to dominate the workers, why bother? If you want to fight, you can fight with me openly. In this way, only It really proves your strength."

Luo Ziqing instantly looked at Luo Ziyan, "What an aboveboard."

"That's right, everyone in Mingzhou City is discussing in private how the Luo family fell into the hands of the elder brother. Doesn't the elder brother need to prove his strength?"

Luo Ziyan raised his eyebrows, and leaned closer to Luo Ziqing's face, "Brother, the Luo family came here under your ulterior motives, do you want to continue to use such despicable methods? Don't be afraid, if something happens one day, you Everything he did was known to outsiders."

Luo Ziqing remained silent.

"Unless, elder brother doesn't dare at all. In the heart of elder brother, he has never been sure of defeating me."

Luo Ziyan was determined, and said softly, "You are afraid of losing."

These words made Luo Ziqing's face turn cold in vain.

Sure enough, Luo Ziqing was soft and gentle, but also aloof.

"What do I have to be afraid of? Do you think I will argue with you about these workers? If you want to use them, then go ahead and use them. The workers you have negotiated will never be used by our Luoshi Silk Company! "

"Then I'm relieved to have the elder brother's words." Luo Ziyan smiled again, and retreated to the original position, "The elder brother is busy, so the second brother will not bother me. See you later when I have a chance."

After Luo Ziyan finished speaking, he turned around and strode away.

In a blink of an eye, he disappeared around the corner of the stairs.

Seeing Luo Ziyan go away, the servant hurriedly approached Luo Ziqing, "Eldest young master, should we do something?"

Luo Ziqing looked at the boy with annoyance on his face, "I ask you, who told you to dig Luo Ziyan's corner."

Luo Ziqing's rare seriousness made the servant startled, and hurriedly said, "Eldest Young Master, this is what Eldest Young Madam meant."

……

The quiet and elegant Dexuan Building in the past has been decorated luxuriously and richly at some point. There are rich trees planted in the courtyard. The red paint should have been brushed, and it is as red as blood.

Luo Ziqing pushed open the door and walked straight to the bedroom on the second floor.

At this time, Xu Jiaqiao was sitting on a rocking chair, closing her eyes and resting her mind. Several maids were beating her legs and shoulders for her, and the sunlight cast mottled light and shadows through the branches and leaves of the sycamore tree.

It fell on her face, reflecting her delicate face.

When the servants saw Luo Ziqing, they hurriedly stopped what they were doing.

Xu Jiaqiao frowned in dissatisfaction, and quickly opened her eyes. Seeing Luo Ziqing was there, she held back her anger, "Ziqing, why are you back now, didn't you go to the silk shop?"

"I have something I want to ask you." Luo Ziqing was very serious.

Xu Jiaqiao gave a wink, and the maids retreated one after another.

She got up from the rocking chair, sat on the brand new mahogany round stool, and poured a cup of tea by herself, "What's the matter? I can't talk about it when I come back late at night, and I found it early in the morning."

"I want to ask why you still target Ziyan?"

"Huh?" Xu Jiaqiao said goodbye to him, with a little evasive eyes, "What are you talking about, I don't understand what you mean."

"Jiaqiao, why deny it? Ziyan has already looked for me, and you have people poaching the wall and poaching away the workers that Ziming has found. Is it interesting for you to do this?"

Luo Ziqing's attitude was rarely bad, Xu Jiaqiao stood up suddenly, "Luo Ziqing, are you questioning me? I did this, am I wrong? Who is Luo Ziyan, are you Do you want to give him a chance to stand up?"

"It's not like this, Jiaqiao, you weren't like this before." Luo Ziqing's brows frowned, "We've already got what you want. From now on, the two of us will be good. This is not good. ?"

"But Luo Ziyan..."

"Luo Ziyan is my second brother after all, and Ziming, we all shed the blood of the Luo family. Are you trying to kill them all? Jiaqiao, Ziyan and Qianyan didn't feel too sorry for us. We can't go too far."

Xu Jiaqiao's eyes flicked, and she suppressed her excitement.

"Oh, maybe, maybe I'm a bit extreme, I'm afraid, I'm afraid they will make a comeback." Xu Jiaqiao took Luo Ziqing's arm, "Okay, don't get angry because of this, and hurt our husband and wife. Personal peace."

"Come on, have a cup of tea and calm down."

Under Xu Jiaqiao's soft words, Luo Ziqing gradually calmed down.
