Chapter 670: Explaining Her Purpose
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
With that, Li Xiaoran left in a hurry.
Zhao Xiu, Li Shun, and Li Xiaoqing were at a loss.
The three of them looked at each other in confusion.
Li Xiaoqing said, “Didn’t my sister say so just now? She’ll come back and explain to us. In that case, let’s wait! I believe in my sister. My sister told me to stay away from him, so I’ll stay away from him!”
Zhao Xiu thought for a moment and said regretfully, “That’s not appropriate!
After all, he’s your savior.”
To be honest, Zhao Xiu really liked Liu Mingkun.
It would be good if this young man could be her son-in-law.
However, from her eldest daughter’s attitude, this wish probably wouldn’t come true!
On the other side, Li Xiaoran had already caught up to Luo Cheng. Then, the three of them went to the Luo family’s house.
This time, Luo Cheng didn’t lead the way to the main hall. Instead, he sat down in the pavilion outside the courtyard.
“Mr. Luo’s house is quite elegant. There is even mosquito-repellent grass planted outside this pavilion. No wonder we didn’t see a single mosquito when we walked in,” Liu Mingkun said.
“I planted it because I didn’t want the mosquitoes to bite my wife! Young Master Liu, there are only the three of us now, so let’s get straight to the point!” Luo Cheng didn’t like to beat around the bush, so he asked directly. Li Xiao’an asked someone to send tea and fruits over. Then, she sat at the side to eat them.
When Liu Mingkun heard Luo Cheng’s words, his expression became serious. “I’m here to ask Mr. Luo to save the Liu family!”
Luo Cheng raised his eyebrows and asked calmly, “Save the Liu family? What do you mean?”
Liu Mingkun also knew that he had to make things clear now. Otherwise, he might not be able to find a second chance to beg Luo Cheng.
“The Liu family lives in Huaiqi Village, Dingjiu Town, White Foothill City. Huaiqi Village is also a village by the mountain and is irrigated by a stream on the mountain. Unfortunately, this stream is at the border of Huaiqi Village and Daxing Village. Every year, because of the drought, the two villages fight fiercely. This year, the weather is hotter than usual. I think the water shortage will become even more serious later on. In order to fight for the usage of the stream, no one from the two villages is willing to give in, so the two villages will definitely fight. It’s even possible that people will be injured!” Liu Mingkun said.
Li Xiaoran suddenly asked, “For you to save Xiao Qing from so many people, your martial arts skills must be extraordinary, right? You’re so powerful, but you’re still worried about not being able to snatch water? As long as you’re around, your village will definitely win! Why are you asking us for help?”
Liu Mingkun said, “Consort, I don’t want to fight. I just want to resolve this matter peacefully! Over the years, the more the two villages fight, the deeper the enmity. If this continues, we will become enemies. As neighbors, must we fight to the death?”
Li Xiaoran looked at Liu Mingkun and suddenly asked another question.
“Your village has a lot of people with the surname Liu, right? Daxing Village’s people have another surname, right?”
Liu Mingkun nodded and replied, “That’s right. Daxing Village mostly has people with the surname Chen!”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she put down the fruit in her hand and her voice
turned cold.
“Liu Mingkun, you’re my sister’s savior. Since you want our help, don’t hide anything! If you hide things, we might not be able to help you!”
When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he looked at Liu Mingkun in a different light.
When Liu Mingkun heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he smiled bitterly.
“Consort, you’re indeed quite impressive. You sensed that I was hiding something just from a few words! To be honest, I really want to resolve the hatred between our two villages and I want the two villages to get along well. In addition, I have my own selfish motives. The granddaughter of the village chief and I have feelings for each other and have already decided to marry each other. It’s just that the possibility of us being together is too small. The parents of both sides will definitely disagree. The two of us discussed it. We felt that if we came to find Mr. Luo to resolve the conflict between the two villages, we might have a chance of being together!”
Luo Cheng thought of something when he heard Liu Mingkun’s words. “You saving Xiao Qing wasn’t a coincidence, right?”
Liu Mingkun looked embarrassed when he heard Luo Cheng’s words.
“I knew I couldn’t hide it from Mr. Luo. It was indeed not a coincidence. I didn’t know where to find Mr. Luo and the princess, so I could only try my luck in Hele Village. Coincidentally, when I came, I heard the rumors about Miss Li and felt that this matter wasn’t simple. Since the other party spread such rumors, they definitely had a backup plan, so I secretly observed in order to get a chance to see Mr. Luo and the princess!”
“Unexpectedly, I really obtained a chance! At that time, I noticed that Miss Li seemed to have received some news when she was looking for someone. Then, when I saw her leave alone, I knew that things weren’t simple, so I quietly followed her. Later on, when I saw that Miss Li was in a dire situation, I saved her!
When Luo Cheng heard Liu Mingkun’s words, he nodded. “I was wondering why someone happened to come to save Xiao Qing from that place. So that’s what happened! I understand what you want, but I can’t just listen to your one-sided words. I’ll send people to your village and Daxing Village to verify things. If there’s really such a thing, I’ll naturally resolve it. After all, White Foothill City is my territory now. I can’t just watch my people fight and kill each other!”
When Liu Mingkun heard this, he was overjoyed and bowed to Luo Cheng.
“Thank you, Mr. Luo and Consort!”
“Don’t be in a hurry to thank me. You can’t leave Hele Village for the time being. After my men investigate, they might look for you at any time,” Luo Cheng said.
Liu Mingkun nodded and said, “I’m already living in a house in the village. If
Mr. Luo wants to look for me, I’ll be there at anytime!”
Luo Cheng nodded and let Zi Zheng send Liu Mingkun off.
After Liu Mingkun left, Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran were silent.
“What do you think about this, Xiaoran?” Luo Cheng asked after a while.
Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said, “Liu Mingkun’s emotions tell me that he’s not lying, but my intuition tells me that there’s something wrong with him! I can’t see through this person! I can’t tell if he’s good or evil!”
Luo Cheng said, “It seems that we have the same thought! I have the same feeling. He seems to be honest and direct, but he’s hiding something.. I can’t
see through him either!”
