Traveling through ancient times to escape famine, the prince led me to rebel

"Miss, there's a man outside who calls himself Zhu Jingxing and wants to see you."

Luo Xiaoran didn't sleep well last night because of Zhu Jingshu's brother's matter.

I was having breakfast early this morning when Uncle Xiang came in and said Zhu Jingxing was here.

Zhu Jingxing, Zhu Jingshu.

From their name, we can tell that they are brother and sister.

It seems that the man in blue yesterday is definitely Zhu Jingshu’s brother.

"Invite him in!"

Luo Xiaoran decided to go all out and deal with the opponent's moves.

Of course, it is also necessary to take the initiative.

"It was Qian Dazhuang who told you that I was here, right?" Luo Xiaoran asked Zhu Jingxing with a cold face.

He was still wearing green clothes, but the style was much more formal than yesterday.

“Qian Dazhuang also told me some very interesting things.

He said your current name is Luo Xiaoran, and you have a younger brother named Luo Xingchen."

After hearing this, Luo Xiaoran frowned slightly, with doubts in her eyes:

"Why don't I understand what you're saying?

What is 'My Current Name'?

I have always called you Luo Xiaoran!

My brother and I have been living in the south. It has been raining all the time, and the water level of the Yangtze River has risen, flooding the farmland.

My grandfather took my brother and me to escape famine, but he died on the way.

Later, I brought my brother to settle in Hexi Village.”

Luo Xiaoran’s second skill is playing dumb.

Zhu Jingxing raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a very gentle smile, with soft light in the corners of his eyes:

"I just said your name, do you have to explain so much to me?"

Luo Xiaoran's expression remained unchanged, still very calm:

"What? Didn't Qian Dazhuang sell you my information?

Since you are interested in me, of course I have to explain my background clearly first."

"Nonsense! What do you mean by 'I'm interested in you'? I'm your brother!!!"

Even when Zhu Jingxing was angry, he tried his best to suppress his voice and not let himself shout or make a scene.

"Isn't it? Two days ago, Qian Dazhuang sold the news about my friend Du Kongqing to An Ruquan, which led to An Ruquan wanting to marry Du Kongqing as a concubine.

Of course, this did not happen in the end due to some reasons.

I just asked you if Qian Dazhuang told you my home address, and you admitted it.

Isn't that just him using his old tricks again, trying to introduce us decent women with some good looks to rich families as concubines?"

After hearing what Luo Xiaoran said, Zhu Jingxing's face turned completely dark, but his voice was still gentle:

"Shu'er, I know you are blaming your brother for losing you.

It was because the emperor's order was urgent at that time, and there was a riot among the victims of the disaster, so your brother was negligent for a moment and let you get lost.

Brother didn't mean it, please stop blaming me, okay?"

Luo Xiaoran decided to continue playing dumb and made a "confused" expression:

"Sir, what are you talking about? I don't understand you again!"

Zhu Jingxing looked at Luo Xiaoran, who looked "confused", and decided that she was still angry with him, so he sighed deeply:

"Since Shu'er hasn't forgiven me yet, I'll leave first and you think about it carefully.

I will stay in Yizhou for a while. When you have thought it through, I will take you back to Changzhou."

After saying this, Zhu Jingxing took the servant out.

As soon as I stepped out of the lobby, I heard Luo Xiaoran's voice coming from inside the house: "Uncle Xiang, please see the guest off."

After leaving Luo Xiaoran's house, Zhu Jingxing asked his servant uncertainly:

"Zhu Chun, why do you think Shu'er doesn't recognize me?"

Zhu Chun glanced at the closed door of Luo Xiaoran's house and said uncertainly:

"That's right, Miss!

But the lady's expression just now didn't seem fake. Did she get injured while fleeing the famine, causing her to forget about the young master?"

As soon as Zhu Chun said this, Zhu Jingxing's eyes lit up instantly:

"It's because I'm concerned that I'm confused!

You are right, Shuer must have suffered a lot, which is why she doesn't remember me now.

We have already been here today, so let’s not bother her anymore!

Wait until tomorrow. Tomorrow, Zhu Chun, please invite all the best doctors from Fuyuan County. No, invite all the best doctors from Yizhou.

Invite a few more and let them show Shuer!"

"I understand, sir."

……

Only after Zhu Jingxing left did Luo Xiaoran feel a little relieved.

At this time, Ruyi ran over with Luo Xingchen, "Miss, the young master has been making a fuss since he knew that he didn't eat breakfast with you!"

"Put the dishes on the table! We can eat together now, but," Luo Xiaoran looked at Luo Xingchen and touched his little head:

"But you can't make such a fuss next time. What's wrong with your sister not eating with you?

Who says that a sister must eat with her brother? Huh? "

After hearing Luo Xiaoran's teachings, Luo Xingchen lowered his head.

The little hand was placed on Luo Xiaoran's knee, tapping it up and down to give her a massage.

Seeing Luo Xingchen admit his mistake obediently and quickly make a flattering gesture, Luo Xiaoran almost laughed out loud.

The nervousness caused by Zhu Jingxing's visit also eased a little.

Thinking of this, Luo Xiaoran lowered her head and leaned close to Luo Xingchen's ear and whispered:

"Chen'er, no matter who asks you about our relationship in the future, you must say that we are siblings, understand?"

Luo Xingchen paused while massaging Luo Xiaoran's legs, then nodded seriously.

Uncle Xiang's voice came from outside the house: "Miss, Master Sun is here."

"Let him in."

Sun Qingyuan sat down in his usual seat as if he was back home.

"Fried dough sticks and soy milk, I love them!"

After saying that, Sun Qingyuan picked up a fried dough stick with his bare hands, broke it into several small pieces and put them into the bowl of soy milk.

"Luo Xiaoran, you know what, your soy milk and fried dough sticks are really delicious!"

Check it out!

After getting to know Luo Xiaoran well, Sun Qingyuan not only became adept at eating at her table, but he also changed the way he addressed Luo Xiaoran from "Miss Luo" to "Luo Xiaoran".

Luo Xiaoran rolled her eyes obscurely:

Sun Qingyuan has recently been praising the delicious food at his home to ease the embarrassment of eating here.

"An Ruquan knew about Kong Qing in Hexi Village because Qian Dazhuang told him." Luo Xiaoran said.

"Who?" Sun Qingyuan almost choked.

"Qian Dazhuang is Constable Qian!"

"It's him!?"

Sun Qingyuan put down the chopsticks holding the fried dough sticks soaked in soy milk, his face turning pale.

"He also wanted to use the fifty taels of silver he got for betraying Kong Qing to invite me to climb Mount An with him during the Double Ninth Festival."

Sun Qingyuan was from Fuyuan County, so he knew that most people who went to climb Anshan on the Double Ninth Festival went to Anruo Temple to pray for marriage under the ginkgo tree.

Therefore, I immediately understood the implication of Luo Xiaoran's words.

"laugh!"

Sun Qingyuan sneered, "He is really a toad wanting to eat swan flesh, just like his love-crazy sister!"
