Chapter 241: Straight Man of Steel
"By the way, Ah Xuan, you must help me keep this matter secret, and don't let anyone know." Shen Xixu warned Lu Xuan with a sneaky face, looking like a child.
Lu Xuan couldn't help but show a doting smile, and then nodded: "Okay, okay, God knows you know I know, I will never tell anyone, okay?" β
Shen Xixu trusted Lu Xuan, and with her assurance, she was relieved, so she decided to give it a try for the time being according to the method Lu Xuan said.
After chatting about his own affairs, Shen Xixu didn't want to delay Lu Xuan too much time, so he immediately let her go to the household department to deal with official business, and he boldly went to Luo's mansion according to her suggestion.
Along the way, Shen Xixu strode and had no worries, until she walked to the door of Luo's Mansion, but she couldn't help but feel a burst of fear in her heart:
"It's not good for me to rush over like this, wouldn't it be rude if Master Luo and Mrs. Luo were also in the house? What can I tell him when I see him? Ah Xuan said to get closer, temptation, how to approach, how to tempt......"
For a while, a bunch of messy questions suddenly appeared in Shen Xixu's mind, stirring her upset.
It's not going in, it's not standing at the door and waiting, Shen Xixu was at a loss for a while, she has never been so entangled in a certain thing when she is so old.
struggled in his heart for a long time, but reason still made Shen Xixu choose to retreat-
"I'm the dignified county lord of Pingchuan, so I rushed to someone's house in such a hurry, isn't this ruining my mother's reputation? I can't do that, yes, I'll talk about it another day. Shen Xixu secretly persuaded himself like this, and then prepared to leave.
But as soon as she turned around, she heard a man's deep voice from behind: "Your Royal Highness, County Lord, why are you here?" β
This voice Shen Xixu was very familiar, even if she didn't look back, she knew who was speaking, and she was suddenly shocked: It's over, it's over, it's been discovered, how can I explain it to him.
Shen Xixu was standing in place and meditating, and when the voice sounded again, it was already only half a step away from herβ"His Royal Highness the County Lord?" β
This time, Luo Mingrang didn't say much, but when he saw Shen Xixu wandering, he kindly reminded her.
But it was these four simple words that made Shen Xixu, who had long been accustomed to hearing it, startled, perhaps because she didn't expect this voice to suddenly be so close to her, and when she turned around, she slipped under her feet in fright and fell backwards in an instant.
Fortunately, Luo Mingrang can be regarded as a strong martial artist and agile, and when he saw this, he immediately hugged Shen Xixu's slender waist, which avoided her close contact with the earth.
But for Shen Xixu, such a sudden move might as well leave her to fend for herself, now that she was held in Luo Ming's arms, she was so nervous that she almost forgot how to breathe, let alone break away from his arms.
This time was different from yesterday in the carriage, there was no one except Luo Mingrang and Shen Xixu, and he clearly heard a thunderous heartbeat, but he couldn't tell whether it was his own or the other party's.
Xu was attracted by this extraordinary heartbeat rhythm, and Luo Mingrang forgot to let go for a while.
The two were in such a stalemate until a high-pitched female voice came from not far away: "Ming'er, your things have fallen, ...... for your mother"
Hearing this voice, Luo Mingrang came back to his senses, and hurriedly helped Shen Xixu to stand up, and then quickly pulled away the hand that was holding her waist.
But when she turned around, the woman standing at the door was already dumbfounded, looking at her surprised expression, it was obvious that the scene just now fell into her eyes.
Shen Xixu didn't know the identity of the person who came, he only remembered the matter of Fang Cai, and he was looked at by others, so he was shy for a while and wanted to find a crack to get into.
Until Luo Ming spoke: "A-Niang, why did you come out?" β
What the? Auntie? Shen Xixu was taken aback: This misunderstanding is big.
Shen Xixu tried hard to dodge, but the woman in front of him walked towards this side, and asked cautiously with a frightened look: "Ming'er, you are the ......"
Seeing this, Luo Mingrang hurriedly explained: "Auntie, you misunderstood, I just watched her fall and helped her." β
Luo's mother understood her son's temperament, and she was relieved to see him say this, so she calmed down and asked Shen Xixu: "I don't know who this girl is?" β
Shen Xixu respectfully saluted Luo's mother: "I've seen Aunt Luo, my surname is Shen, and my name is Xixu." β
She said a little embarrassed, after all, she is also a little famous in Shengjing City, even if she doesn't report the three words of the eldest princess, I'm afraid she can't hide it from others.
Sure enough, I saw that Luo's mother nodded without much thought at first, and casually read Shen Xixu's name a few times, but her face suddenly turned blue with fright: "Shen ...... Isn't the girl the daughter of the eldest princess the county lord of Pingchuan? β
Still at this point, Shen Xixu can't deceive it, she was silent for a moment, she still nodded embarrassedly: "Exactly, I just let Aunt Luo misunderstand, I'm really sorry." β
The person in front of her is the only daughter of the eldest princess, who can't stand Aunt Luo and Aunt Luo and can't stand it, where can anyone stand it?
didn't have time to respond, Luo's mother immediately leaned down towards Shen Xixu: "The woman has no eyes, but she didn't recognize His Royal Highness the county lord, and asked His Highness to forgive her sins." β
Seeing this, Shen Xixu was suddenly shocked, Luo Mingrang was even more confused, in his opinion, the person standing next to him was just a little girl, no matter how noble her identity was, the affinity she gave people was enough to make people forget these red tapes.
Shen Xixu originally came to show favor to Luo Mingrang, but now it is good, but instead let her mother salute her in front of others, and look like she has come to demonstrate, if she is allowed to develop, won't she jump into the Yellow River and can't wash it?
Thinking about it like this, Shen Xixu hurriedly and carefully helped Mother Luo up: "Aunt Luo doesn't need to be polite, Aunt Luo is an elder, and she shouldn't be so polite to my junior." β
Shen Xixu rarely looked reasonable, and Luo Mingrang, who was standing on the side, was a little flattered.
However, this made Luo's mother, who was frightened one after another, breathe a sigh of relief, and after calming down for a while, she asked Shen Xixu again: "I don't know how His Royal Highness the county lord appeared here, but he came to find Ming'er specially?" β
This is in front of Luo's Mansion, and the scene between Shen Xixu and Luo Mingrang just now was clearly seen by Luo's mother, and anyone else would inevitably have doubts about it.
Shen Xixu originally wanted to put an end to Fang Cai's matter hastily, but she didn't think that at this moment, she was taken the initiative to mention it by Luo's mother, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, she couldn't say that she came to test it because she was suspicious of someone else's son.
After thinking about it, Shen Xixu still couldn't get a plausible answer, so he turned his head to look at Luo Mingrang.
She originally wanted to ask Luo Mingrang for help, but seeing that the mother and son looked at her with the same eyes, it seemed that Luo Mingrang really wanted to know why Shen Xixu came today.
Isolated and helpless, Shen Xixu had no choice but to think of an excuse for herself, and she brewed for a while before she spoke: "No, I just came out for a walk, and I happened to pass by here, and I happened to see Lord Luo coming out, so I came up to say hello." β
There are so many coincidences in a row, I'm afraid even Shen Xixu himself can't believe it, and Luo's mother is even more suspicious.
Originally, based on what Luo Mingrang said, Luo's mother could barely believe that Fang Cai's matter was a misunderstanding, but Shen Xixu covered it up like this, so there must be something else hidden.
Judging from Luo's mother's decades of experience, there must be some unknown cattiness between the two young people.
Luo's mother couldn't help but rejoice in her heart: Seeing Ming'er's cold appearance on weekdays, I was worried that he would not please my daughter's family, but I didn't expect that I was too worried.
Shen Xixu noticed the faint smile on the corner of Luo's mother's mouth in a panic, and instantly became more nervous, and then motioned to Luo Mingrang with his eyes: You are talking!
But Luo Mingrang and Shen Xixu are obviously not from the same channel, she originally wanted to ask him to help her get out, but she never thought that instead of helping, he would block her.
"Walking by? The Eldest Princess's Mansion doesn't seem to be close to here, His Royal Highness the County Lord has such a good interest to go so far for a walk? Luo Mingrang ruthlessly exposed Shen Xixu's lies.
Shen Xixu was simply annoyed: This person usually drops the chain, why does he still add fuel to the fire at this time?
But all this seems to be just the beginning, Luo Mingrang, who thought about it for a while, casually exposed the second coincidence in Shen Xixu's mouth - "Also, it seems that you didn't happen to see me come out when you came here, I clearly saw you wandering here for a long time." β
It's okay not to say this, Shen Xixu couldn't wait to kill this guy immediately, and he saw her wandering here early in the morning and didn't come out earlier, isn't this a clear joke to see her?
The more Shen Xixu thought about it, the more angry she became, if it weren't for Luo's mother being present, she would definitely teach Luo Mingrang how to behave.
Luo Ming made this rectum Xu couldn't even stand Luo's mother, so he relieved Shen Xixu and taught himself a lesson for his son who couldn't speak.
"Ming'er, how are you talking to His Royal Highness the County Lord? His Royal Highness the county lord Chrysostom, is it possible to lie to you? Mother Luo reproached.
Luo Mingrang muttered in a low voice: "She doesn't lie to me on weekdays." β
Shen Xixu was speechless, she was sure of her thoughts, she would never fall in love with such a stupid person like a pig.
Trying to suppress the anger in his heart, Shen Xixu respectfully saluted Luo's mother: "I still have important things to do, so I won't stay here for long, and I'll come to visit my aunt another day." β
Shen Xixu said that he couldn't wait to avoid Luo Mingrang, but he heard his voice beside him: "It's just time for me to leave, A-Niang, you can go back." β
Seeing that the two behaved so tacitly, Luo's mother was so happy in her heart: "Okay, okay, let's go." β
Before leaving, he didn't forget to attach it to Luo Mingrang's ear and tell him: "Treat others well." β
