"Ling Xiang, Princess Changling will host a reception banquet for Anyang County in a few days. Can you help me make an appointment with Mr. Luo then?"
Luo Junyao was sitting boredly on a tree branch, listening to the two people chatting with each other, when he suddenly heard this sentence and immediately pricked up his ears and became energetic.
Shen Lingxiang, who was leaning in Xie Chengyou's arms with a face full of tenderness and sweetness, also stiffened for a moment. She raised her head and said with some embarrassment: "Shao Yao seems to have misunderstood me. He has been neither cold nor indifferent to me these past few days." Yes, I am getting closer to Luo Mingxiang. I'm afraid that by then..."
Seeing her evading, Xie Chengyou couldn't help but frowned, "She has always trusted you and has no brains. Even if she is angry for something, you just need to coax her more."
Shen Lingxiang was a little aggrieved. How could he coax someone as arrogant as Luo Junyao?
After all, is it not that she should be groveling and coaxing Luo Junyao?
In order to coax Luo Junyao over the years, hasn't she suffered enough grievances?
"Lingxiang?" Shen Lingxiang didn't answer. Xie Chengyou lowered his head to look at her, "What's wrong? You don't want to?"
Shen Lingxiang shook his head quickly and said sadly: "How could it be? You clearly know that I will do anything for you? Are you doubting me? I..."
Xie Chengyou looked at her reddish eyes and couldn't help but feel guilty. He held her in his arms and comforted her softly and made countless promises.
"You know, you are the only one in my heart."
Xie Chengyou said in a low voice, "It's my incompetence. If I hadn't come from a humble background, how could I have made you suffer such injustice? What happened a few days ago has made General Luo very hostile to me. I must not turn against Mr. Luo at this time."
Shen Lingxiang nodded and said: "I know, don't worry. Chengyou, don't belittle yourself. In my heart, you are the best man! No matter what, I will accompany you and support you."
Xie Chengyou was extremely moved, "Ling Xiang, I knew you would understand me. We are on the same page."
Shen Lingxiang leaned in Xie Chengyou's arms, lowering his eyes slightly with a gentle expression.
They are indeed on the same road.
With her status and reputation, it is not difficult to find a good family in the imperial city.
But it is extremely difficult to marry into a high-ranking family and become the head matron.
In total, she is even worse than Luo Mingxiang, whose biological mother married for the second time. Although Luo Mingxiang lost her father when she was young, her biological father was also a second-rank general during his lifetime. The Su family came from a noble family, and she was the stepdaughter of General Luo.
Therefore, Luo Mingxiang was able to be proposed to marry by Chun'an Bofu, but her marriage was still unable to be decided.
Although she is said to be Luo Yun's niece, her mother, Luo, was actually adopted by the old lady of the Luo family in her early years and is not related by blood.
Her father was only a fifth-rank petty official during his lifetime, and he was exiled and died of illness at the border due to dereliction of duty. Upon closer inspection, Shen Lingxiang was actually the daughter of a criminal official.
Even with Luo Yun's connections, the real dignitaries in the capital would never be willing to choose such a wife for their eldest son. And Shen Lingxiang looked down on people who could accept her status.
Not to mention ordinary people, even Luo Mingxiang's future husband's Chun'an Bo Mansion, Shen Lingxiang also looked down upon her.
She wanted to be a being that everyone in the entire imperial city envied and looked up to, and she hoped that one day she would be able to step on Luo Junyao in an upright manner.
Only then could she live up to the grievances she had suffered by staying with Luo Junyao all these years!
And she also met Xie Chengyou as she wished.
Xie Chengyou was born into a royal family, the eldest grandson of King Mu and the eldest son of the Regent. Such a status should be beyond her reach.
However, Xie Chengyou was born to King Mu's eldest son and was adopted by the regent, so his identity was actually quite embarrassing.
She knew that Xie Chengyou was ambitious, which was exactly what she liked, and she even added fuel to the fire.
She knew that as long as she held Xie Chengyou's heart firmly, all the grievances she felt now would be rewarded.
After a while, the two of them finally got tired of it.
Luo Junyao rolled his eyes and waited for Xie Chengyou to send Shen Lingxiang away. He rubbed his stomach and felt that he didn't need to eat for two days.
After watching Shen Lingxiang's figure disappear into the distance, Xie Chengyou turned around and walked towards the path not far from the woods.
He had just walked about ten steps outside when he suddenly heard a soft sound from behind.
Before he could look back, he suddenly felt a heavy blow on the back of his head. Severe pain followed by darkness, and his whole body collapsed instantly.
Luo Junyao walked around Xie Chengyou on the ground contentedly, and kicked him again. Seeing that he made no movement, he laughed and said: "Trash, a little weakling like you dare to plot against this girl!"
Luo Jun shook his chin and thought, "Now that you are in my hands, how should I deal with you?"
"..." Xie Chengyou on the ground was completely clueless.
Luo Junyao seemed to have thought of something and laughed twice.
He leaned over and grabbed Xie Chengyou's shirt, dragged him forward two steps and stopped when he found it was a bit heavy.
After all, she is a petite little girl, and it is still difficult to drag a young man who is at least 1.8 meters tall at once.
Luo Junyao sighed, "I can't drag you, so I'm sorry."
Luo Junyao smiled and took out a dagger with cold light from his sleeve, looking at the people on the ground with eyes full of eagerness to try.
"Where to start? Just start here."
Tear--
"Ouch, I've grown so tall, but I'm just a dumbass. I don't even have any abdominal muscles!"
Tear--
"Hey, there is a cinnabar mole on your waist?"
"Pants... uh, forget about pants. What should you do if you see something dirty?"
Swish, brush, brush!
It was quiet and deserted by the woods, and the sound of tearing fabric could be heard repeatedly, accompanied by the girl's disgusting comments.
Unfortunately, there was no one around, only the birds in the forest witnessed this inhumane scene.
"Finally, how about engraving another word?" Luo Junyao muttered after carefully appreciating his work.
Then he gestured with the dagger in his hand for a long time and selected a large blank space in the center of someone's chest.
The moment the knife tip struck, the unconscious man could not help but frown in pain, and his eyelids began to tremble as if he was about to wake up.
Luo Jun shook his eyes quickly and added it without hesitation. The man who didn't even have time to open his eyelids fell into coma again.
"Be good and stay out of the way. You'll be fine soon."
After a while, Luo Junyao wiped the blood from the tip of the knife on Xie Chengyou's broken clothes, got up and went deep into the woods.
Under a big tree at the edge of the woods, there was only a young man lying with his clothes in pieces, revealing a large area of white skin, as if he had been brutally ravaged.
There is a crooked word engraved on the man's flat and white chest——
cheap!
