"Why are you following me?" Although she was grateful that this person saved her life, she still had to figure out the reason since she wanted to follow him, even though she knew this person wasn't a big threat to her.
"This …" Faced with Bu Jinghua's stubborn question, Li You embarrassedly frowned, "Alright, the reason why I'm following you is because I want to find someone!" Li You seriously said.
"Looking for someone? "Who is it?" Following her just to find someone? This reason was a bit too far-fetched. He just needed to find someone else and it would be fine … It can't be, this is another person that caught big sister Su's attention! Thinking of this, Bu Jinghua unconsciously narrowed his watery eyes.
"This is something I can't reveal right now!" Li You spread out his hands and looked at Bu Jinghua with a troubled expression.
"Hmph, I advise you to stop scheming. I won't help you!" Bu Jinghua firmly said. These words undoubtedly made Long Yan, who was standing on the other side, laugh in a good mood.
"Hmph, I don't need your help. As long as I follow you, I will definitely find him!" Li You also made his position clear.
"You … You are not allowed to follow me like this sneakily, do you hear me? " This guy, he even acted as if it was natural. Damn it.
"Little girl, don't forget, if I didn't follow you, you would have already lost your life. Do you think your life is only worth a mere 100 gold coins? Humph, so, little girl, you should thank me for following me! " Li You spoke as if he was his savior.
"You …" This guy had indeed saved her life time and time again. It was because of her heart of gratitude that she was so easily angered. Damn it.
"Little girl, don't worry. I am merely following you and waiting for that person to appear. I will not do anything dishonorable, much less facing you …" His sinister phoenix eyes stared at Bu Jinghua, revealing a look of disdain. This fellow was only a person who judged others by their appearances. That's fine too, he wouldn't treat her the best. Otherwise, she would have made his heart twitch in regret.
"Hmph, do whatever you want!" Bu Jinghua angrily turned around, planning to not argue with this scoundrel anymore. It was good to have an expert bodyguard to follow him voluntarily, since he was in a lot of danger and his wings were not full yet.
With this thought in mind, Bu Jinghua no longer planned on staying any longer. He walked up to the carriage and said to Long Yan, "Let's go back!"
Long Yan obediently "Oh!" After saying that, he glanced at Li You before following Bu Jinghua into the carriage.
If those black-clothed men had wanted to kill them, it would have been as easy as turning his hand. Those black-clothed men had shown some mercy to him and the Fourth Prince, but against the Fourth Prince's concubine, each and every one of them had the look of someone who had been quick to kill the other. It seemed that these people's main goal was the side of the Fourth Prince's consort.
He had to explain things to the empress today.
If it wasn't for this young man today, then the head of the fourth prince's consort would already be missing from her body. If it really was like this, then it would have been Long Meng's fault.
Long Meng cupped his fists at Li You and said politely: "Young Hero, thank you for saving us! If there is anything in the future that you need help with, please do not hesitate to tell me and I will definitely repay the kindness of young hero for saving my life! " Long Meng wasn't trying to be polite. Even though he knew that this young man in front of him wanted to find someone through the fourth prince's consort, this person's strength was indeed quite monstrous. He had taken the initiative to rope him in, so this shouldn't be a bad thing.
"Oh? That's true! " Hearing Long Meng's words, Li You's face was filled with joy.
"Un, definitely!" When Long Meng saw Li You's happiness, he felt even more elated in his heart. It seemed that his words had really won over the youth's good impression!
"Since you're so generous, I have a presumptuous request to ask of you. I just don't know if you have the right to speak in this mansion, and whether you can help me or not!" Li You excitedly looked at Long Meng and deliberately tried to probe him.
"This... As the butler of the Fourth Prince's Mansion, I still have a certain amount of authority, so you can rest assured! " Long Meng didn't want his efforts to fail. In fact, he felt that his own power was quite great. He could still agree to more reasonable requests.
"I am relieved to hear that!" Li You's almond-shaped eyes faintly smiled as they narrowed.
"Then... Young Hero, please speak. What can I help you with? " Long Meng asked politely.
"Actually, it's nothing much? "Even my plate has been used up. Right now, I urgently need a place to live for free. I don't know you …" Li You didn't feel that his skin was that thick. It was one thing to live here, but he still wanted to live there for free. On the contrary, it made Long Meng even more hospitable. Actually, even if Li You didn't ask for it, Long Meng still wanted to suggest this. Inviting him over to the mansion was one thing he could do for a personal matter, and two he could watch out for him. This strange young man was inseparable from the fourth prince's concubine and was known by others. Indeed, the fourth prince's concubine, the fourth prince's concubine, the fourth prince's mansion, and even the Emperor's empress's name wasn't very good. But as a guest of the fourth prince's estate, this' stalking 'could be considered another reasonable thing.
"Young hero, don't worry. I, Long Meng, can still decide on this matter. From today onwards, you can stay in the fourth prince's mansion without worry. From now on, you will be an honorable guest of the fourth prince's manor!" Long Meng smiled at Li You with a pair of curved eyes. He looked extremely happy.
"I'm relieved to hear you say so, but you saw just now that the fourth prince's consort seems to have misunderstood me …" Li You knew that since Long Meng dared to make such a decision, it showed that he had the ability to do so. That little girl, Bu Jinghua, was nothing in Long Meng's eyes.
Young Hero can be at ease with this. I will report the matter of Young Hero saving the Fourth Prince and the Fourth Prince's consort to the Emperor. With regards to this request of saving his benefactor, the Emperor and the Empress will definitely agree. If you have any other requests, feel free to look for me. I will definitely do my best to fulfill them! " Long Meng became even more polite.
"Un, then I'll thank you first!" Li You was extremely happy at the bottom of his heart. He was indeed not used to staying in restaurants, it was better to be at home! With the residence of the fourth prince, he could monitor Bu Jinghua's every move at any time and find the person he was looking for. As long as he could hand the item over to that person, he would be able to return and report back. However, he did not want to return so quickly. In fact, this place was quite interesting, especially that fat woman who was being hunted at such a young age. She seemed to have a lot of secrets.
"Uncle Meng, hurry up. My beloved concubine can't wait any longer!" If you don't come now, we won't bother about you anymore! " On the other side, Long Yan's unhappy voice could be heard. Long Meng immediately ran over, saying to Li You as he ran, "Young hero, remember to be a guest at the mansion! When you come, tell me your name. Oh, right, I still don't know Young Hero's name! "
"Li You …" Li You announced his name with a loud and clear voice. His pair of smiling phoenix eyes looked towards the unfriendly gaze Long Yan threw over. He smiled evilly, making Long Yan's anger even more intense.
This was bad, he had actually forgotten that Long Yan's hand was injured and was still blindly stalling for time. If something were to happen to the fourth prince, then he would be in trouble. Thinking of this, Long Meng immediately sped up his footsteps.
Bu Jinghua quietly sat inside the carriage and closed his eyes to rest. He had a lot of complaints about Long Yan's lie just now. He was obviously impatient, but he deliberately brought her out of the carriage. Wasn't this purposely provoking a peaceful relationship between her and Long Meng? A fellow with ill intentions.
Her watery eyes coldly looked at Long Yan, who had walked into the carriage with a trace of anger. She did not mind and coldly sneered. After that, she decided to continue closing her eyes to rest. His injured hand was still as shocking as ever. The bright red blood hadn't stopped. Should she stop the bleeding for him? After all, she had been injured for him. However, she didn't want to be too proactive … Although Bu Jinghua appeared calm on the surface, he was already full of contradictions in his heart.
"What are you laughing at?" However, Bu Jinghua's faint smile made Long Yan, who was already in a bad mood, even more unhappy.
"What does it have to do with you?" This fellow, did he really get so angry after taking so much gunpowder? He actually had the time to laugh at her now?
She, Bu Jinghua, was not a good person either. She could not stand people shouting at her for no reason. Furthermore, she did not offend him.
"You … You're clearly laughing at me, so how could this not be related to me? " Long Yan roared with self-righteousness.
"Oh? Laugh at you? Do you have anything to laugh at? " This fellow is becoming more and more domineering, isn't he?
"You … You laugh at my incompetence, you laugh at me … "Humph!" Long Yan wanted to say something, but immediately shut his mouth when he saw Bu Jinghua's mocking gaze. He angrily turned his head to the side and no longer looked at Bu Jinghua's mocking face.
"Oh, so you also know that you're useless?" Bu Jinghua found this funny. She didn't think so herself, nor did she laugh at his awareness. She only felt disdain towards him using her as a shield. Who would have thought that he would actually know his own limitations? Impotent? Admittedly, she felt that way just now.
"You …" He really wanted to tear off that woman's contemptuous face, but, in fact, he himself also felt that he was quite useless just now, to actually be trampled on by someone weaker than himself … If it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't expose himself, that man's goose leg would have been chopped off long ago to be fed to the dogs.
However, whether it was just a moment ago or in the future, he had to pretend to be stupid and hide behind some woman in this situation. Only by doing this would he be able to conceal himself and protect himself.
However, he clearly knew that it was necessary for him to do so, so why did he care so much about the way that woman looked down on him? Damn it. Long Yan cursed out loud from the bottom of his heart.
"Alright, Uncle Meng is about to arrive. It's better for you to continue pretending to be a 'B'. Otherwise, if he sees you, you'll lose everything you've done!" Bu Jinghua did not plan to argue with this man any longer. Instead, he kindly reminded him that, other than the assassination attempt just now, he would take her on a kite today and she herself would be happy to relax. This feeling of joy was something she had never experienced before and it was really fascinating.
As for Long Yan's reason for pretending to be stupid, although Bu Jinghua was very curious, he did not deliberately want to expose it. Since pretending to be stupid was so important to him, it was so important that he could even disregard his life.
"Acting B?" Long Yan looked at Bu Jinghua with a puzzled expression.
"Just playing dumb, stupid!" Bu Jinghua lightly glanced at Long Yan.
"You …" He always wanted to teach this woman a lesson.
"Fourth Prince, Fourth Prince's consort, I'm coming!" At this moment, Long Meng ran over. The war of words in the carriage finally stopped. The two of them took up a corner of the carriage and quietly closed their eyes to rest. Each of them had their own thoughts.
Long Meng came in, bandaged Long Yan's wounds with a flurry of hands and feet, and then quickly rode the carriage back to the mansion.
