“He did it for an evil purpose.” Ming Shu sneered.
“Pu. Qingqing, I find you’re very awkward.” Qin Ling covered her mouth and chuckled.
Each time she mentioned Lord Cheng, she seemed to dislike him but acted in a different way. It was very awkward.
“No.” Ming Shu denied it.
“I haven’t said why you’re awkward, what are you denying, Qingqing…”
“Eat your food!”
“Hahaha…”
Qin Ling told Ming Shu that she wanted to open a shop, a rouge shop. Before crossing into this world, Qin Ling worked in cosmetics-related business, so the first thing she thought of was this.
“I think you should open a restaurant.” Ming Shu disagreed with her in opening a rouge shop. “Rouge is only for women, but a restaurant is for everyone. When it becomes famous in the future, you can open more restaurants all over the world.”
“Qingqing… You’re just saying it for your own convenience, right?” Qin Ling revealed the truth.
Ming Shu still sounded serious. “Food is the paramount necessity of the people.”
Qin Ling covered her lips and smiled. Each time she saw her lie with such a serious expression, Qin Ling felt she was cute.
“If I open a restaurant, it needs a lot of money in the early stages, but I don’t have that much money.” Qin Ling sighed. “Besides, my cooking skills are not enough to support a restaurant.”
Open them all over the world? It would be great if she didn’t lose money.
“I have money.” Ming Shu smiled. “The emperor awarded me lots of good stuff. If you want to do it, I’ll invest, and you can pay me back after you earn the money.”
Ming Shu didn’t say she would give the money to her, because the female protagonist had high self-esteem.
So Qin Ling didn’t react fiercely after hearing this. Instead, she asked the question she had long wanted to ask. “Qingqing, won’t you go back to the capital?”
“You’re not in the capital, why should I go there?”
Qin Ling: “…”
Although it was a girl standing in front of her, hearing this passionate “love confession,” Qin Ling felt her face burning.
Was she being teased by a girl?
“Life is meaningless without your cooking,” Ming Shu continued.
“…” Okay, true feelings won’t last longer than one second.
So she needed to thank herself for the good cooking skills?
“But would my cooking skills be okay for that?”
“Believe me, if you’re not okay, there wouldn’t be anyone in this world that will be okay!” You’re the female protagonist! You can meet a prince or princess so easily.
Qin Ling strongly felt that Ming Shu was cheating her. Because she didn’t feel she cooked well and the food didn’t taste very good…
“Let’s do it!” Ming Shu made the final decision.
“Ai? I…” I haven’t agreed.
“Later I’ll go choose a proper place and rent it for you.”
Qin Ling followed Ming Shu down the stairs with a dumbfounded air. Cheng Gui was waiting for them at the door. The setting sun hung in the west, accompanied by the glorious evening glow. The young lord in white was like an immortal shining with golden light. He stood there and the entire street became so different.
But the lord in white didn’t seem to be in a good mood. As soon as Ming Shu walked out, he went up and gave her a handkerchief, then reached out his hand. “It’s so disgusting, hurry, wipe my hands.”
Ming Shu saw his hands were clean and only the skin was a little reddened. “What’s the problem with you now?”
Ah Xi answered for Cheng Gui: “Just now our lord met a young girl who rushed upon his body. The lord’s hands were accidentally touched by the girl, so he wiped them along the way. Miss Qingqing, please wipe for the lord, otherwise he must skin the hands himself.”
“It won’t cost you anything just touching.” Ming Shu took the handkerchief and waved past his hands. But then she asked, “Who was that girl?”
Cheng Gui frowned. “I don’t know her.”
Ah Xi answered, “It was Li Shen’s younger sister, who seems to be called Li Hua. She’s very bold. Our lord said your wedding date is soon, and it won’t be auspicious to see blood, so…”
Cheng Gui gave a look to Ah Xi, and the latter immediately shut up.
Ming Shu knew Cheng Gui was not some kind person and didn’t care what he did.
But Li Shen’s… younger sister?
Ming Shu pinched Cheng Gui’s hand and wiped very carefully. “Send Qin Ling back first.”
“Yes.”
Ah Xi led Qin Ling to the carriage and escorted her back to Yunli Village in person.
“Wipe again.” Cheng Gui didn’t want to waste the opportunity.
“It’s clean.”
“No.”
“…”
Ming Shu held his hand and kissed its back. “Is it okay now?”
“One more kiss, honey.”
“Get away!”
“Someone touched me!”
“Right, for free. Next time if I see it, I’ll charge. You can’t be touched for free.”
“…” F**k! I was touched! Aren’t you jealous?!
–
Li Hua had been domineering over everyone in the Liu residence. She requested fine food and fine clothes, and Li Shen’s mother also took many things from Liu Xinyue for her own daughter.
But after all, she was not raised as a lady from childhood. Even in silks and satins, wearing gold and silver jewelery, she acted no different from the way a countryside girl would behave.
“Mother, this is tasty.”
“Eat more if you like. But take it slow, no one’s fighting you.” Li Shen’s mother constantly added food to Li Hua’s plate.
Liu Xinyue couldn’t eat as she saw the way Li Hua ate.
“Look at her table manners.” Liu Xinyue put down her chopsticks angrily.
“What are you saying!” Li Shen’s mother was pissed off all at once. “Are you mocking her? Li Shen, see what your wife…”
It seemed there was going to be a quarrel again, and Liu Xinyue stood up annoyedly, leaving the dining hall directly.
“She doesn’t want to eat, but we’ll eat.” Li Shen’s mother grunted. “You must teach your wife a lesson, tell her to put away the miss’s temper.”
Li Shen was silent.
Li Shen’s mother finished the meal while cursing.
After Li Shen left, Li Hua pulled at her mother and began to act as if an anthomaniac. “Mother, today I saw that lord again. He’s so good-looking, and I even touched his hand.”
“Who on earth are you talking about?” Li Shen’s mother didn’t know who Li Hua was talking about. “Which family’s lord has made you so obsessed? I’ll go talk to his parents.”
Li Hua answered happily, “He lives in the Bai Mansion in town.”
“Bai Mansion?” Li Shen’s mother thought for a while. “Is it the Bai Mansion the farthest east?”
“Right right.” Li Hua nodded. “It’s there.”
Li Shen’s mother murmured, “Should it be the Bai family’s young lord?”
Then Li Shen’s mother promised, “The Bai family has declined in these two years, but now we’re the Liu family. I think the Bai family won’t refuse. Rest assured, I’ll send a matchmaker to talk to them.”
“Thank you, Mother.”
“Okay okay, look at your clothes, go back and tidy up.”
Li Hua was not only an anthomaniac but also a fool. Otherwise she wouldn’t not remember that Cheng Gui came to the village with the county magistrate before. There were also many rumors about him in the town. But Li Hua didn’t pay attention to those things and only knew that Cheng Gui was very good-looking.
Li Hua went back to her own room happily. She seemed to have seen herself getting married to that good-looking lord, and…
“Aiyaya, I’m so shy.” Li Hua couldn’t help smiling.
“Shy of what?” A crisp voice sounded from behind her.
Li Hua reacted slowly and didn’t shout until after several seconds. “Who is it?”
A person stood by the window. Her figure was shadowed on the ground and extended as long as a slender bamboo stick.
The cold wind blew from outside and felt strangely gloomy.
Li Hua heard the voice asking, “Which one of your hands touched him?”
