CHAPTER XXI

"This ......" Aunt Hua looked at Ming Tao's serious expression, she knew that if she couldn't give him a satisfactory reason now, she wouldn't be able to leave for a while. It's just that she is really reluctant to sell this peony. Now she regretted the thousand taels she had said. Although this is already many times more than the money she paid to buy peonies at the beginning, she knows that with a peony like this, it will definitely be more valuable than it is now in the future. If she sells it now, she'll regret it. But now what excuse should she make?

"What, Aunt Hua wants to regret it again?" Ming Tao chuckled and looked at Aunt Hua. I hope she doesn't say things he doesn't like to hear.

"This ...... Peony has just come here, and I'm not afraid that she doesn't understand the rules, but will cause trouble to the guests! Aunt Hua said with a dry smile. At the same time, she secretly wiped the cold sweat on her forehead with a handkerchief, this man's eyes were really terrifying, although she was in contact with big people every day, but it was the first time she met someone who made her feel so scared just by looking at her. It seems that her peony will not be able to be saved this time.

"That's the next question." Ming Tao's voice was still gentle, but his eyes were getting sharper and sharper, and the sweat on Aunt Hua's forehead was even more. "Or does Aunt Hua want to raise the price again?"

"No...... Can't. Under Ming Tao's gaze, Aunt Hua immediately shook her head and said. This man must not be as ordinary as he appears. Fortunately, this thousand taels is not a small amount. Even if she really loses her peony, she won't be sad because of this. As soon as she thought about it, Aunt Hua no longer insisted, and said directly: "If the son really wants to buy peonies, I will go and sell the peonies now."

"Good!" Ming Tao smiled and nodded. Although five hundred taels of silver was not a small amount, he didn't care about it, and he didn't want to argue with this peacock because of this bit of silver. As long as she is willing to buy peony to him obediently, everything else is easy to say.

"Ah, Yu and Peony thank Gongzi for saving his life!" Hearing the conversation between Ming Tao and Aunt Hua, Peony and Ah Yu walked over together and knelt down in front of Ming Tao Shen excitedly.

"Get up! Remember to concentrate on doing things for me in the future, if you do something that I am not happy about, maybe the consequences will be worse than this. Looking at the two people in front of him, Ming Tao said sternly.

"Don't worry, master, Ah Yu and I will definitely not disappoint the master." Peony replied immediately.

"Yes, yes...... Peony and I will definitely do a good job! ”

Ah Yu followed behind Peony and said equally excitedly. As long as you can take Peony out of here, it's okay for him to do anything.

"Okay, wait a minute, we'll get out of here. Arise also. Hearing the assurances of the two, Ming Tao's face did not change at all. Now of course they will be grateful to him, but after a long time, who knows if they will do something foolish. He had seen too many such things in the palace before. This kind of superficial rhetoric should be left to time to confirm!

Mu Yunqiao drove her ox cart alone, walking forward unhurriedly on the uneven mountain road, and her heart was excited. Because just this morning, the man who called himself Zhan Xiao actually said that he wanted to leave for a while, let her wait for him, and he would come back in the afternoon at most. But a fool would wait for him! Without saying a word, of course, she nodded in agreement in front of him, and as soon as he turned to leave, she drove away from the inn.

In fact, she also knew that she would be much easier to have that man by her side, but they were strangers, especially if she was a woman. How can you be with a strange man all the time. So, when she finds an opportunity, she leaves. Especially today, she will not let go of such a rare opportunity.

Seeing that the sun overhead had been past noon for a long time, Mu Yunqiao took out the baked cakes he bought when he went out of the city and ate them. Fortunately, although she was excited to leave immediately, she did not forget to buy food.

"Hey! There's something delicious to eat that is only being taken out now, this is trying to starve me to death! As soon as the baked cake was put to his mouth, Mu Yunqiao was snatched away by a pair of hands stretched out from the carport before he could take a bite.

"Hey!" Looking at the empty palm, Mu Yunqiao looked at Ming Tao in surprise who didn't know when he appeared on the ox cart. When did he get on the bus? Why didn't she know at all? But the most important thing now is that the piece of baked cake is what she wants to eat, how can she give it to him again?

Thinking of this, Mu Yunqiao wanted to turn around and snatch back the baked cake, but she didn't expect that when she just turned around, Ming Tao had already eaten all the baked cakes in her mouth. Even if he wanted to, he wouldn't have a chance. glared at Ming Tao vigorously, Mu Yunqiao didn't say a word, went back to the car, and continued to catch the car.

"Hey, is there anything else? This pancake is so delicious! After swallowing the last bit of baked cake, Ming Tao touched his still hungry belly and asked Mu Yunqiao.

He hadn't eaten since last night, and he didn't eat breakfast in the morning because he was in a hurry to arrange the affairs of Peony and Ah Yu. When he came back, he knew that she had run away again, and although this had been expected by him, he hurried after him without bothering to eat lunch. Constantly tossing like this, his body is beaten with iron, and he has long been hungry if he hasn't eaten for so long. But seeing that she has been silently driving the car, I thought she didn't bring anything to eat! I didn't expect her to bring baked cakes. Now he couldn't hold back his hunger anymore, so he would snatch the baked cake. It's just that this small piece of baked cake is where it is, but after seeing that she didn't come out of the baked cake for a long time, Ming Tao can only ask for it cheekily.

Regarding Ming Tao's voice, Mu Yunqiao didn't reply, just drove the car with his head bored. Let him be pretentious, let him eat last night he didn't eat, and now know that he is hungry? What's the matter with her? She is not his anyone, and she is not obligated to care about his food and drink.

"Hey! Brother, I know you must still have something to eat, so how about giving me a little kindly? At most, when I find a town, how about I treat you to a good meal? Ming Tao sat next to Mu Yunqiao regardless of his image and said. Such an imageless appearance was something he couldn't have imagined before. In the past, he was often hungry in the palace, but even if he was hungry, he never begged anyone. He didn't know why, in front of this kid, he would let go of all his self-esteem and image and get along so naturally.

"Nope!" For Ming Tao's approach, Mu Yunqiao avoided it directly, and his answer was even more ruthless. The idiot hadn't found out she was a woman for so long, and he kept pestering her. She really wanted to ask him where she had fallen into his old man's eyes, and as long as he was willing to let her go, could she change it?
