The jade earrings inlaid with gold must be worth a lot of money. Mingyu didn't hesitate to take Lixiang to the restaurant where her father had taken them before. The waiter warmly welcomed them in. It was past lunch time, and there were not many customers in the restaurant.
When asked what Mingyu wanted to eat, Mingyu took out an earring and said with a smile: "Take this, and give me three of your restaurant's best signature dishes and a bowl of rice. Put them in the food box. I want to take it away, as soon as possible. Is it enough?"
The waiter was stunned for a moment, then looked at Mingyu's appearance and guessed which young lady had sneaked out. He quickly took the earrings and said with a smile, "Enough, of course it's enough. Please wait a moment."
"There's more." Mingyu stopped him and took out another earring, smiling, "This one's for you too. Prepare a nice meal and send it to the Xu family's main courtyard on West Street at dinner time. Remember, don't send it to the wrong place."
The guy took the order and left.
When Madam Xu ate the meal brought by Mingyu, she was shocked. "When did Aunt Liu's cooking become so good? This is fish and meat, how expensive! Hey, these plates and bowls don't look like they're from our family."
Mingyu smiled and advised her mother to eat more. "Since it's been delivered to you, just eat more! The food is yours. Why think so much!"
In the afternoon, when Mrs. Xu was about to prepare dinner for the family with Mother Liu, they heard someone knocking on the door. When they opened the door, a waiter with a friendly smile came with a few people. Each of them was holding a large food box and said that someone had booked a meal at their restaurant for noon and it had been delivered.
"This..." Mrs. Xu was extremely surprised and stepped aside to let the waiter in.
The waiter looked at the stone table in the yard and asked with a smile, "Madam, is it suitable to put it here?"
Mrs. Xu nodded subconsciously, and several waiters placed the food in the food boxes on the stone table, filling the entire table, and also gave her an extra pot of wine as a gift.
At this time, Mingyu happened to hear the noise and came out. The waiter saw Mingyu and said with a smile: "My lady, the food has been delivered. Please enjoy. I will collect the plates and bowls tomorrow."
Mingyu glanced at the food on the table. It was quite rich. This restaurant was quite honest and did not take advantage of her. She smiled and said, "Thank you, big brother."
The guy bowed and went back.
"What's going on?" Xu Changqian, who had just returned from the government office, asked when he saw the food on the table. It wasn't a holiday or an anniversary, so why was there suddenly such a sumptuous feast of fish and meat
Madam Xu pointed at Mingyu and asked, "Ask your daughter."
Mingyu smiled and exaggerated what happened today, saying only that the two men's carriage hit the sedan but refused to pay compensation, not mentioning that they hit it on purpose. Xu Changqian was angry and resentful, and pulled Mingyu over and asked, "How is it, where did it hit?"
Mingyu shook her head and said, "They didn't hit me, they just broke the sedan." It seemed that Luo Lingguan had some concerns in her heart and didn't dare to hit them with great force.
"How did the Luo family's parents raise their children? None of them are good people! They are so lawless at such a young age, what will happen to them in the future?" Mrs. Xu had no appetite in front of the table full of delicious food, and she felt unfair for her daughter. "It's really a conflict with the Luo family!"
Seeing that his father, mother and brother were all unhappy, Mingyu smiled and said, "Well, they were unreasonable and hit me. I asked for compensation for the damage. Don't be unhappy. Let's eat. They deserve it! They lost face and suffered a loss on the street this time. They will be more cautious in the future. Who knows, they will avoid me when they see me!"
The reason why she gave away all the jewelry that Luo Lingxian threw to her was that she subconsciously didn't want to have anything to do with the Luo family.
Xu Mingye's eyes darkened, he raised his chopsticks first, and said with a smile: "Since my sister is paying for the meal, I won't be polite."
Mingyu quickly said, “You’re welcome, eat more, eat more!”
Mrs. Xu and Xu Changqian looked at their daughter lovingly. Not wanting to spoil her fun, they put on a smile and picked up the chopsticks.
At Mingyu's instruction, Lixiang picked some of each dish and put them in a bowl. She ate in the kitchen with Liu Mama Dongyuan. She listened to Mingyu "fooling" Xu Changqian and Madam Xu in the yard. She buried her head in her food and pretended not to hear. She secretly sighed that the way the young lady glared at Luo Lingxian and scolded her today was both beautiful and fierce.
Luo Lingguan drove the carriage back to the Luo family at lightning speed. Luo Lingxian in the carriage had her hair disheveled. She got off the carriage crying and went to complain to her mother. Mrs. Luo didn't expect that her daughter and son were fine when they went out, but how could they become so miserable when they came back.
"Mother, it's all that shameless bitch Xu Mingyu's fault!" Luo Lingxian cried, "She forced my daughter to give her money in the street. She was so aggressive that she said if I didn't give her the money, she would go to the Empress and ask her to marry me to the crippled bachelor who sells tofu! I had no choice but to throw my jewelry to her!"
Mrs. Luo naturally didn't believe that the Queen would marry a minister's daughter to a street vendor without any reason. She took out a handkerchief and wiped Luo Lingxian's tearful face and said, "She lied to you. Don't believe her. How could the Queen easily believe what others say? Why did she ask you for money?" Mrs. Luo asked the key question.
Luo Lingxian curled her lips, reached out and grabbed the handkerchief in Mrs. Luo's hand to wipe her face, rolled her eyes and said: "The sedan she was riding in hit our carriage, and the country girl Xu Mingyu blackmailed us and asked us to compensate her with one hundred taels of silver. I said I didn't have it, and she wouldn't give up. The words she said were so ugly... I, I don't have the face to live anymore..." As she spoke, Luo Lingxian started crying again.
Mrs. Luo could not bear to see her daughter being wronged like this, and she immediately became furious, "Don't worry, sooner or later I will help you vent your anger, let's see how long she can be so arrogant!" Now because of Lingxiu, the Queen has been very dissatisfied with the Luo family. She has submitted invitations several times to enter the palace to pay homage to the Queen, but they were rejected. At this critical moment, she dared not make any unnecessary moves, and could only swallow her anger secretly and wait for an opportunity.
When Luo Lingxian heard this, she knew her mother was just trying to comfort her. She couldn't deal with Xu Mingyu and had to wait for the right opportunity. She immediately became dissatisfied and started crying, shouting, "I don't care, I don't care! She bullied me today, in front of so many people, and I am ashamed!"
"Isn't there nothing we can do for now?" Madam Luo hugged Luo Lingxian helplessly. Thinking of her eldest daughter who was still suffering in Huang'en Temple, her hatred for Xu Mingyu became even stronger. "That Xu Mingyu is a worthless person. Your cruel third aunt is even more heartless and vicious. Putting aside the fact that Lingxiu is her daughter-in-law, Lingxiu is also her own niece. How could she be so cruel as to let Xu Mingyu harm your eldest sister!"
After the imperial edict for Sima Hong's succession to the title came down, Lord and Lady Luo, as relatives of the Luo family, wanted to curry favor with them, thinking that they were sisters from the same mother, so they brought gifts to express their gratitude. However, they did not even get to see Miao and Sima Hong. Miao had a very stubborn temper. As soon as Lord and Lady Luo left the house, she ordered the servants to throw away the gifts sent by Lord and Lady Luo. There were so many onlookers, which made them both lose face.
After Luo Lingguan returned, he was afraid that his parents would hold him responsible. In addition, he was completely defeated in the match against Xu Mingyu today, which made him extremely unhappy. As soon as he got home, he ran away, took his servant and called a few friends, and went straight to the pleasure boat on the riverside of the capital to drink wine.
When he returned home drunk at night, it was already completely dark. Luo Lingguan supported the servant, sang dirty little erotic songs, and staggered home with great pride. After soaking in the land of tenderness, he completely forgot the humiliation he suffered from Xu Mingyu, the vicious woman, during the day.
However, when he was still some distance away from his home, he suddenly saw a tall black shadow in the darkness under the dim starlight. He was so frightened that he half sobered up and asked tremblingly, "Who? Who's there?"
The black shadow didn't say anything, but his tall figure gave people a heavy sense of oppression just by standing there.
The servant was also frightened, fearing that he had encountered a ghost, so he asked Luo Lingguan to stand still. He tremblingly took out a fire starter from his bosom, lit it, and was about to shine it towards the black shadow.
However, Luo Lingguan opened his sleepy eyes and before he could see clearly what was happening, a straight punch flew over the faint firelight and headed straight for his face.
"Ah!" Luo Lingguan screamed and fell to the ground. The hand that was covering his nose immediately felt warm and wet. He must be bleeding!
"What a blind bastard!" Luo Lingguan was in so much pain that he saw stars in front of his eyes. "You must be so bold to dare to hit Master Luo! Do you know who my cousin is?"
Before he finished his words, the black shadow pounced over with an extremely agile posture, picked up Luo Lingguan on the ground, and raised his hand to punch Luo Lingguan in the face again.
The servant was so frightened that his voice changed and he shouted weakly and tremblingly, "Help!" However, it was already midnight and the surroundings were quiet, without even the barking of a dog.
Luo Lingguan was beaten so badly this time that he didn't even have the strength to cry out in pain. He sensed that the black shadow had bad intentions, so he started to run away. However, just as he moved his legs, the black shadow kicked him in the knee, causing him to kneel heavily on the stone road, his knees hurting so much that they almost broke.
The shadow was quite skilled. It only took him a few moves, and each move was in the right place, fast, fierce and accurate. Luo Lingguan also realized that he was doomed this time. Maybe someone disliked him and hired a master to wait on his way home to beat him up. He simply knelt on the ground and shouted, "Please spare my life, please spare my life! Tell me who hired you, and I'll pay double the price, and you go and help me beat him up!"
The servant couldn't just stand there and watch his master being beaten, so he mustered up his courage and ran over with a lighter in hand. The faint light of the fire illuminated the dark shadow's face, which was looking at him coldly.
Luo Lingguan was incredulous, covering his face in surprise and shouting, "Cousin? It's you!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe and reward on Qidian Mobile Network (). Your support is my greatest motivation.)
