1464 Returning to Its Owner
Cheng Xin’er was puzzled and asked in confusion, “What has this got to do with the Lu family? Oh right, it is related to them. Senior Lu said that ‘Just A Store’ won’t do business with the Lu family in the future. She won’t sell them anything no matter how much they offer.”
The City Lord’s wife shook her head helplessly at her daughter, who was often muddle-headed, but she didn’t continue the topic of the Lu family.
“Since this hairpin was given to you by Liang Yingjun, keep it well. I don’t go out often, so I don’t need a defensive spirit weapon.”
The City Lord’s wife had a loving look on her face. She took her daughter’s hand and put the hairpin back in her hand.
“Liang Yingjun has a good character. You have to cherish him and stop throwing tantrums easily, understand?”
Cheng Xin’er pulled her hand out of her mother’s, and stuffed the hairpin back. “Mother, Ah Jun gave me two hairpins. This hairpin is for you.”
Hearing that, the City Lord’s wife knew that this was Liang Yingjun’s gift for her, his future mother-in-law, so she didn’t reject him anymore. “He’s so considerate. Thank him on behalf of Mother.”
“Why are you two chatting so happily?” While the mother and daughter were talking, a male voice suddenly sounded not far away.
“City Lord.” Seeing who it was, the City Lord’s wife quickly stood up and bowed.
“Father.” The bright smile on Cheng Xin’er’s face faded a lot as she greeted him softly.
Cheng Zhong’s gaze seemed to fall on the hairpin in the hand of the City Lord’s wife unintentionally and he immediately asked casually, “Isn’t the hairpin in Madam’s hand the new grade inscription defensive spirit weapon sold by ‘Just A Store’?”
A glint flashed through the eyes of the City Lord’s wife quickly before she nodded slightly and handed over the hairpin in her hand. “It should be. This is a gift from Liang Yingjun to Xin’er. He’s very considerate.”
A hint of surprise flashed across the City Lord’s eyes when he heard that. He reached out to take the hairpin and looked at it carefully.
“There are very few treasures that can defend against attacks. The fact that Liang Yingjun thought of Xin’er immediately means that he’s very concerned about her. Not bad, not bad.”
There was nothing wrong with Cheng Zhong’s statement, but he said them with a deeper meaning. It was unknown if he was saying that Liang Yingjun was not bad or that the defensive hairpin in his hand was not bad.
The City Lord’s wife didn’t reply. She only smiled as a response.
Cheng Zhong looked at the wife of the City Lord deeply, but he didn’t say anything in the end.
He returned the hairpin and said to Cheng Xin’er, “Treasure it well.” Then, he left.
Looking at her father, who came and went in a hurry, Cheng Xin’er only felt confused.
The wife of the City Lord frowned slightly, as if she was worried about something.
…
Three days after “Just A Store” reopened.
“Fellow Taoist Lu, those people have already signed a contract with me. From next month, they won’t buy ore from the Lu family anymore. Two of the families also agreed not to cooperate with the Lu family again. The others are still waiting to see what happens.”
In the intermediate room, Liang Zongxing reported to Lu Zijia and immediately took out a title deed.
“This is the deed to the Liang family’s mansion. Someone used it to make a deal with me.”
Lu Zijia nodded. “Coincidentally, I wanted to move to a bigger house. It seems that I don’t have to look for it anymore. As for this title deed…”
Lu Zijia pushed back the title deed that Liang Zongxing put in front of her. “It’s time to return this title deed to its rightful owner. I hope Fellow Taoist Liang won’t lose it again.”
Without waiting for Liang Zongxing, whose eyes were red, to say anything, Lu Zijia said again, “Fellow Taoist Liang, your injuries have completely recovered. I’m very relieved to leave “Just A Store” to you. I’ll be in seclusion for a while next.”
Her early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation had yet to be completely consolidated, so it was better for her to enter seclusion for a while.
She didn’t go into seclusion with her man before because she was worried that the Liang siblings wouldn’t be able to hold the fort. Now that Liang Zongxing had recovered, she didn’t have to worry anymore.
In Zhuang Prefectural City, the highest cultivation level was only at the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm, and Liang Zongxing was one of them.
“This is the communication jade pendant. If there’s anything important, you can use it to contact me,” Lu Zijia handed over the communication jade pendant she had prepared and said.
