Xi Mengyao was annoyed by the sounds of wailing coming from behind her and quickened her pace even more. However, there was always someone following her from far away and she knew who it was.
The dog skin medicine was stuck to her face, causing her to initially just want to go out and relax, but now she wanted to just go out and do it.
However, just as he was about to exit the city, he saw a person standing by the side of the city gates.
She narrowed her eyes at the sight. What a coincidence that she actually knew that person.
Xi Mengyao sneered, seeing that he was looking at her, she turned to leave, but unexpectedly, Lu Ming also saw her. Seeing that she was about to leave, she quickened her pace and caught up, cupping her hands: "Miss Xi, how have you been?"
"What a coincidence."
Xi Mengyao had no way of dodging, and could only say a few words, then coldly looked at her: "Sir is so free, you don't work in the daytime, why are you running outside the city gates?"
Lu Ming was not angry, and looked at Xi Mengyao with a smile.
"I just suddenly remembered something and went out of the city to take a look. Eldest Miss was busy and I wonder if you still remember a family with the surname of Qiong?"
"Are you going to threaten me?" Xi Mengyao looked at the person in front of her calmly. Although she did not know what this meant, she was sure that this person would never speak nonsense.
However, Lu Ming did not answer and only smiled as he turned his head around and raised his hand to point at a shabby house by the side of the field.
Xi Mengyao looked over, the thatch in the house seemed to have been replaced, but the outer walls were still dilapidated. With a single glance, she thought that a gust of wind might blow them away.
"What do you want me to look at that shitty house for?"
Lu Ming laughed: Don't just look at this broken house, their life is much better now. From that day onwards, the old couple adopted the beggar, and according to their previous plan, the family rented an acre of land, and just sold the food and saved up some money. I believe that after a while, they will be able to repair this house.
Hearing that, Xi Mengyao's heart was comforted. At that time, she only felt that this family only had one son, and would probably never be able to have children. If she had not entrusted her life to him, even if she saved him one or two times, she might not be able to save him three or four times.
It was as if he was referring to a path, giving others hope before they could continue on.
Lu Ming looked at the expression in Xi Mengyao's eyes and knew what she was thinking about. He lowered his head and chuckled, "Does Miss not think that this is a good thing?"
Hearing that, Xi Mengyao turned and look at him. This person had her hands behind his back, looking harmless, but her eyes clearly showed that he had something more to say. She sneered: "What does good and bad have to do with me?"
Lu Ming never thought that she would not be fooled. Sighing, he decided not to beat around the bush.
"I went to take a look when I was free. I heard that they had originally intended to die that day. If it wasn't for Miss's righteous rescue that day, they would have probably grinded themselves to death in front of the infirmary."
Xi Mengyao's eyes dimmed when she heard him, she had thought of this before.
"However, due to a change in their thoughts, their lives have gradually improved. Perhaps they might still have children after a while. From this, it can be seen that their impulsive thoughts will always have a great limitation."
"..." Do you have to beat around the bush when you speak? " Xi Mengyao looked at him, and her tone became even deeper: "You just wanted to say that I'm just restricted by my own thoughts, but how do you know that you're not the one being restricted?"
"Miss, it's a misunderstanding." Lu Ming shook his head when he heard this, as if he had already expected it, "You can think about it, you are just a woman. "Maybe you have the ability to run away, to go to the outside or to Jiangnan, but you live your whole life in the unstable state of being hunted. Are you willing?"
Xi Mengyao secretly clenched her teeth, she was naturally unwilling, how could she not know how capable the officials were?
This was not only because she was the big miss of Prime Minister's Mansion, but also because he had come into contact with a lot of things in the modern world and was naturally aware of the benefits of having a lot of power, hence he was even more disgusted.
At this time, she heard Lu Ming laugh.
"Miss, you might as well think about it. The prince might not truly want to marry Miss, and maybe you two can discuss it and act out a luan and a phoenix."
Hearing that, Xi Mengyao snorted coldly, and turned to leave.
However, Lu Ming did not know what he was thinking, he was just about to follow him, and walked two steps forward, when Xi Mengyao suddenly turned around and looked at Lu Ming deeply: "Are you here to help your master? Or did your master allow you to come?"
"I am not a lobbyist for the prince, but I met Miss by chance. I can't bear the miss going down the wrong path, so you and I can be considered as acquaintances. If Eldest Miss is troubled by this, then I would also feel uneasy." Lu Ming cupped his hands, and looked towards the city.
Xi Mengyao turned her head, she had long seen that the soldiers of the Palace had followed them out from the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was likely that the guards of the Patrol Battalion had gone back to inform on them.
She had only come out to relax by accident, so she was extremely careful. If she were to run away now, it would be hard to say what would happen.
At first, it was only dissatisfaction, but now, looking at the actions of this group of people, she felt a sense of disgust.
"Where is your Prince?"
"Your highness is naturally at the prince's mansion." Lu Ming smiled, "If First Miss wishes to meet Your Highness, you can also come to the Palace for a chat. Think about it, that Princess Qi already resides in the Third Prince Palace. "
"Oh?" This was the first time Xi Mengyao had heard of this.
"It seems like Eldest Miss hasn't been out of doors lately and hasn't even heard of such things."
"..." Words are not worth talking about. " Xi Mengyao glared at him, and without wasting any more words with him, she turned and left.
Lu Ming looked at Xi Mengyao's straightforward background, and her eyes suddenly dimmed a little. Only then did someone rush in from behind, "Mister, you've been waiting for a long time."
"Hmm, has everything been settled?"
"Everything is ready. We will be in the Moon Tower tomorrow at the end of the night."
After Xi Mengyao heard these words, although she did not agree with it, she still knew in her heart that it was the truth.
Her kung fu was not invincible throughout the world. He had the ability to earn money, but if the government was involved, then running away was just a joke.
Not to mention the current Prime Minister, who was looking at her as if she was defending against a thief. He didn't even have a chance to leave.
Unless he died, there was no other way.
But why would she want to die for this …
In the end, before she could even understand what was happening, it was as if they were running for their lives. Twenty odd servants ran out and a group of people fought with the soldiers, and they immediately surrounded Xi Mengyao.
The butler followed closely behind, panting heavily as he ran over. Sweat seemed to be dripping from his forehead.
He panted as he came over, "Big... Young Miss, you should come back with me. "
Xi Mengyao saw that the man was starting to clear his throat, and knew that he could not resist, so he decided to not resist and went back.
However, when she returned, she was not as obedient as before. After she singled out a few more people, she howled out in a heart-wrenching manner as she sat on the carriage.
