Traveling through ancient times: daily life on the run

Chapter 262 Complex Relationship

Master Murong escorted Luo Hong to the carriage.

Li Feng hurried over and said that he was driving the car, and Murong asked him to go back and clean up the place to avoid any chaos.

Luo Yu lifted the curtain and said, "Master Murong, my condition isn't particularly serious. I can drive the carriage back by myself."

"Miss Bai, you are a guest. How can I let you go back by yourself? I brought you to live in the villa. If anything happens to you, how can I explain to Madam Bai?"

Luo Yu knew that it was useless to say more, so he asked him: "Aren't you going to participate in the competition?"

"We from the Murong family only need to participate in the finals."

Luo Yu smiled and said, "If you win first place, you won't have to give the mansion to outsiders. How great!"

"Miss Bai, did you enter the competition because you like the big house? When I win the championship, I will give the big house to you."

Luo Yu: What’s going on? I was just looking for a topic, but it died right away.

"This is impossible."

"I'll give you the mansion. You might want to settle down in Tanzhou in the future, so it would be nice to have a place to live."

Luo Yu's thoughts were flying. Actually, living in Xiaoyao Villa was quite nice. Why should he live somewhere else? It would be such a waste to leave the house empty.

Seeing her silent, Murong thought she was asleep, and his thoughts flew back to the scene when he and Miss Luo Yu fell off the cliff and fell into trouble. If he didn't have a deep hatred for her, would he choose a woman like Luo Yu to spend his life with?

Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly darkened. Even so, Miss Luo Yu's bizarre life experience might not be recognized by her grandmother and father. Although they looked very close, they were actually separated by thousands of miles.

When the carriage arrived at the house where the girls were staying, Fang was cleaning with the children. The maid beside them was busy running around nervously, fearing that the young master would come back and find out and blame her.

Mei Zhengyan was cleaning the doorway when he saw the carriage. He hurried over and asked, "Brother Murong, did you bring my sister back?"

Murong smiled and said, "How do you know it's your sister who's sending it?"

"Because I know that Brother Murong likes Sister Bai!"

"..."

The air suddenly stagnated.

Luo Yu had originally been thinking about getting out of the carriage, but at this moment, she wanted to sit for a while longer.

Keeping silent is the most generous gesture towards the other person.

Murong's voice slowly rose, extremely gentle: "Then do you think that sister likes brother Murong?"

Mei Zhengyan tilted his head and thought for a long time. He heard all these words from Brother Bai Lingyi, but Brother Bai Lingyi didn't say who Sister Bai liked!

"I don't know about that, but my sister probably loves making money the most."

Luo Yu: ...

After a while, Luo Yu smiled awkwardly and came out of the carriage. Just as she was about to get off the carriage, Master Murong stretched out his hand and wanted to help her.

"Mr. Murong, those were just innocent words from a child. You don't need to take them seriously."

"Miss Luo Yu is so outstanding, it's not a bad thing for her to like you."

"what!"

Luo Yu looked at him with a bewildered expression. His eyes did not dodge, but flashed with a pure light.

His lips curled up slightly, as if to say that this was true. Luo Yu hesitantly extended his hand, letting him help him jump out of the carriage.

Some things cannot be said out loud, and some things cannot be avoided.

"Mr. Murong, what did you mean by what you just said?"

"It's just that I really admire Miss Bai and have some feelings for her."

That's all? That's not much. There's still time to cut it off!

"Then do you think you would marry me as your legal wife just for some small token of appreciation? Besides, I don't like any form of system where a man is shared by multiple wives and concubines."

Murong: "..."

"Mr. Murong and I have been together for a while, and since we are a single man and a single woman, it is inevitable that there will be some emotional clashes.

If one day you meet the girl you like most, the feeling of wanting to marry her and spend the rest of your life with her is indescribable. So, between us, it's just mutual admiration! Please don't confuse it with love between a man and a woman.

Murong smiled slightly. What a clever girl! To avoid embarrassing him, she actually embarrassed herself. A word of mutual admiration suggested that she also had a subtle feeling for him, but she was restrained.

"Miss Bai, I admire you much more than you know. If I didn't agree, it's not because I can't do it, but because there are many unfinished things, and I don't want to implicate others..."

Luo Yu smiled and said, "Then we can talk about it after you finish it!"

But he hadn't explained it clearly, and she couldn't reject him outright. After all, they were friends after knowing each other for a while. She'd fool around for a day, so she'd do it. After all, they'd forget about each other by then!

When Master Murong saw her smile, he felt for the first time that his heart, which had been frozen for too long, was about to melt.

Mei Zhengyan didn't quite understand what they were saying, so he looked around and then rushed into the yard and shouted:

"Mother, mother, Master Murong wants to marry me, but I haven't agreed yet. She said she wants to wait until Master Murong completes a task..."

When the two heard this, they hurriedly chased the boy and told him to stop talking nonsense.

Following them sneaking into the villa were Zhu Jinyou and Song Si.

They overheard everything that was said at the door.

"Master, I never thought that Master Murong really likes Miss Luo Hong. If Miss Luo Hong's identity were not unknown, she would actually be a very good girl! At least she is much better than the rather frivolous Miss Qin."

"Humph, this brat is so young and has become the owner of the manor. He has a bright future, but he can easily fall in love with such a cunning woman."

Song Si: Are these two things in conflict?

"Master, what are we doing here?"

"You find a secluded place at the door and wait. I'm going to talk to Miss Luo Yu."

Song Si muttered privately: "Isn't he jealous? After all, Miss Luo Yu agreed to Master Murong. Isn't this also a verbal engagement?" "I have always thought that women admired him. This must be unpleasant."

Zhu Jinyou waited for a while, and only after Master Murong left did he walk into the main house with confidence.

Fang looked around and wondered why Master Murong left and a prince came. Could it be that they were both here to discuss marriage?

Thinking of this, Fang was not very happy. She had also heard Chu'er say that these two people actually knew that she was not the real Miss Bai. If that was the case, if she married into any other family in the future, wouldn't the other party catch her and hold her accountable? That was not acceptable. Her daughter could not compromise.

Fang saluted the prince and then pretended not to know his little thoughts. She just had another thought: "Your Highness, my daughter has caught a cold and was just sent back by Master Murong. She is now resting in her bedroom. I'm afraid it's not very convenient..."

"Oh, is that so? Then I'll go visit her..."

Fang: ...

His steps were quick and hurried. The maid at the door of Luo Yi's bedroom wanted to stop him, but when she saw him raise his hand, she immediately retreated.

Although she didn't know this man, he gave people a very oppressive feeling. The maid wanted to report to the guards, but was stopped by Fang who followed behind.

Luo Erren had just taken the medicine and was feeling dizzy and ready to fall asleep. When he woke up tomorrow, he would be a brave man again.

However, she didn't expect a figure to loom over her head, and the oppressive feeling was too strong.

Luo Yu was too lazy to sit up, so he just turned and looked at him.

"Your Highness Prince Ning, why are you here?"

Zhu Jinyou's face had a murderous look just now, but when he saw her weak appearance, his tone suddenly changed and became much gentler.

"I came to check on you. I just found out that you were knocked off the stage. I didn't expect Miss Luo Yu to be weak sometimes."

"Cough cough..."

Luo Yu didn't want to answer him. What else could this guy do besides being sarcastic?

"Prince Ning wouldn't go there in person for such a small matter?"

Zhu Jinyou was stunned. She actually knew him quite well.

"Of course, I just came to remind you that it's time to set off."

"Tomorrow's the final. We'll set off the day after the competition. We won't be slow."

Zhu Jinyou heard her weak tone and saw a basin of warm water next to her, so he thought of changing the scarf on her forehead.

As soon as he reached in, Luo Yu quickly stopped him.

"Your Highness, if you want to wash your hands, just ask someone to bring them to you. Why are you wasting my basin of water?"

"Who said I wash my hands?"

"..." Luo Yu was so annoyed. This person had finished speaking, but why didn't he leave? Didn't he know that this was a girl's boudoir?

"I caught a cold. I guess it was caused by watching the fun after taking a bath that night. If you really betray others, there will be retribution. It's not that there is no retribution, it's just that the time has not come yet."

"Then Your Highness, for mocking a patient like this, won't you also face retribution?"

"My retribution has been pouring in since I met you."

"Why do you say that?" Luo Yu just wanted him to finish speaking quickly and leave quickly to avoid rumors flying around.

"Eunuch Yao, the head of the Imperial City Bureau and a popular figure beside the Emperor, has already left for my residence in Jiangzhou. If he doesn't wait for me to capture you and return, I'm sure he'll catch up with you with his troops. Don't blame me for not protecting you then..."

"Are there many people with you?"

"Could it be that you're still thinking of your 'Flying Tigers' fighting him to the death?"

"Don't dare."

Weird.
