Traveling through ancient times: daily life on the run

Chapter 129 Deep Friendship

When I returned to Piaolingshe, I found that Master Murong was also there.

Luo Yu looked at him and smiled maliciously.

Murong felt goosebumps all over his body.

"What are you laughing at?" It's definitely not something good.

"You didn't leave that night, hiding, didn't you, and were discovered by Prince Ning's men?"

"So what?"

Of course he couldn't just stay because she said so. He stayed because he followed his own ideas.

"Prince Ning knows of your existence, and today he asked me who I was. I accidentally betrayed you. From now on, you won't be able to escape, hehe."

Murong knew that she was full of bad intentions and snorted coldly.

"Prince Ning shouldn't be here just to investigate Baihu and marry Miss Qin, right?"

Oh my god, how could he still remember the nonsense Qin Bingrui said!

Yan Xuan is much simpler and cuter.

"So what? Everyone knows you're on my side now. If you betray us, I can just tell our enemies that you're one of ours, and then it won't just be Prince Ning and the Bai family who'll be hunting you down."

"..."

Luo Yu drank a cup of tea and continued, "We will be leaving Liangzhou City in a few days. I will return your sword to you."

"You know it's the sword."

This woman is really better at pretending than him.

She is indeed a woman who can write fifty or sixty suspense cases.

"I don't have any other items on me that I've stolen from others. Of course I know it's that sword. Sir, you're so humble and obedient to me just for a sword. It's really hard for you."

What she said was so nice.

He didn't say anything, and she was trying to get something out of him.

That sword was very important. If she didn't give it to him, don't blame him for being rude.

Luo Yu didn't care what he thought. She went to the room and searched for a long time, and finally found the sword. It turned out that she had put it under her underwear. No wonder he couldn't find it.

Forget it, just give it to him today. Looking at his cold eyes, Luo Yu was afraid that this man could switch between black and white freely.

The laws in ancient times were imperfect and people's thoughts were strange.

Luo Yu threw the sword to Master Murong, his tone softening.

"I'm sorry I didn't ask for your consent to borrow your sword. You know, I was a weak woman and felt very unsafe outside at the time. I didn't have any weapons to defend myself. I only took your sword and didn't take a penny from you, so you have to understand me. My character is absolutely fine..."

"It's okay, I know you're having trouble."

"..."

Murong opened the scabbard, his face darkened, and the light in his eyes dimmed.

Luo Yu stuck out his tongue and immediately slipped out of the room.

She had used it to grill meat for Baihu and Goutui too many times, and the sword seemed to have turned a little black. But it was nothing serious, and it would be smooth after a few polishings.

Murong sighed. At least he got the sword back. If she hadn't given him two pieces of cake as a token of appreciation, he would have killed her long ago.

But now, he saw the drawing that Luo Yu placed on the table. It showed a huge mechanical man with hands and feet. He was puzzled and even had an inexplicable feeling that this Bai girl really didn't treat him as an outsider.

The next day.

Qin Bingrui and Luo Yu went to Prince Ning's Mansion for lunch, and brought Fang and Bai Lingyi with them.

Bai Lingyi asked Fang Qingdao to ask for leave for this purpose, and as a result, Director Wenshan also came.

Qin Bingrui went to the library early in the morning and met Mr. Li, a retainer of His Royal Highness Prince Rui. After chatting for a while, Prince Rui and his princess also went to Prince Ning's Mansion.

Prince Ning: "..."

There were people in the room and he had a headache.

Lord Shi arrived last with his wife and daughter. When he saw the group of people, he was completely stunned.

How can I allow Prince Ning to have closer contact with my daughter now?

Princess Rui saw through Mrs. Shi's little trick at a glance.

It was not that her precious daughter was a bad person. Although she was raised in seclusion, she was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she was also good-looking. However, her personality was a little docile, which made her unsuitable for marrying into the royal palace.

Princess Rui then looked at Miss Qin, who was chatting with Prince Rui to the side with one leg resting on the chair. Forget it. If Prince Ning really wanted to marry her, either the Queen Mother would die of anger or Miss Qin would be executed.

Having said that, she turned her gaze to Miss Bai and Mrs. Bai who were sitting quietly beside them.

Mrs. Bai is gentle and virtuous, and she still has charm even in her old age. Her two children are both good-looking, especially Miss Bai, who is almost becoming the favorite of Princess Rui.

If she became his sister-in-law, wouldn't he be able to make his business bigger and better in the future?

After a while, Mr. Wen reminisced about the old times with His Royal Highness Prince Ning, and then he went straight to Luo Yu and asked her to see the telescope that he and his students had just developed.

Luo Yu pretended to be confused.

"Didn't Miss Qin teach you how to use this telescope?"

"Miss Bai, you're too modest. I see this thing in your sketchbook. You must be the main creator."

Luo Yu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Old Man Wen did not forget to praise Fang's daughter for her outstanding talent, and also praised Bai Lingyi as the smartest student among his peers.

Fang was very happy to hear this and nodded repeatedly to express her gratitude and praise.

Mrs. Shi saw it all, and although she remained calm on the surface, she was secretly gritting her teeth in anger.

In the past, these headmasters and scholars always praised her two sons for their intelligence, and other ladies also rushed to praise her daughter for her beauty and gentleness. How come in the eyes of this group of people, she is not as good as an ordinary merchant's wife?

Doesn't Mrs. Bai just have a maid who always comes up with bad ideas? That boy Bai doesn't look special except for his good looks. What's there to be proud of?

No, she had to let His Royal Highness Prince Ning see her daughter's advantages, which were not comparable to those vulgar girls from small families.

Then, before the meal, Lord Shi insisted on praising the little girl to King Ning for her many talents, which she could show to everyone.

A nice dinner party turned into a talent show.

Princess Rui naturally couldn't miss this part, so she reminded Miss Bai: "Miss Bai and Miss Shi are about the same age. Logically speaking, they are both girls raised in seclusion, so it's normal for them to have some talents."

Luo Yu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Thank you, my dear Princess Rui.

Besides installing and repairing machinery, she doesn't have any other talents! Drawing isn't something she can show off, as everyone knows the classic "Wutian Chuan".

"A commoner girl doesn't know much, and she's definitely not as proficient as Miss Shi. She's too much of a refugee girl."

Old Man Wen didn't think so. When he heard that Miss Bai was also going to show her talents, he immediately said that the trip was not in vain.

Luo Yu: ...

Prince Ning saw that she didn't seem to be pretending, so he wanted to embarrass her, so he said lightly: "The Bai family is a wealthy merchant family in Muzhou City. I believe that the training of ladies from noble families is no less than that of officials."

Luo Yu looked up at him with a forced smile.

Qin Bingrui can't let Sister Luo Hong embarrass herself.

She immediately stood up and bowed, saying, "I am willing to perform my talent on behalf of Miss Bai. I am quite good at it."

He was now eager to sing a song.

Madam Shi sarcastically said, "This is a talent show for ladies from noble families. You're just a prostitute, so it's best if you don't get involved!"

Everyone's eyes were as wide as bells.

Princess Rui cast a fierce look at Prince Rui, who immediately wanted to deny it. But then he thought, maybe he had drunk a few more glasses with Lord Shi that night, and then betrayed Miss Qin by mistake?

He immediately lowered his head and dared not speak.
