Chapter 3, that is for my dear child to enhance their chest

Observing the mother and daughter as they anxiously served each other dishes, fearing there would not be enough to eat, Nangong Zihen's expression grew increasingly cold, creating an atmosphere of chilling tension around the entire dining table

Lying on the chair by the window, she lazily flipped through a book on medicine. In truth, she did not really like this subject; she only studied medicine diligently because it pleased her mother

It can be said that he was thoroughly enraged by Luo Mei, having never encountered someone who so completely disregarded him in his entire life

Listening to his angry footsteps fade away, Luo Mei expressionlessly raised her head, her lightly pursed red lips curling into a cold smile

I heard someone is looking for me

Luo Mei responded softly and also picked up two chopsticks of food for her, saying, "Mother, you should eat more too"

Luo Huaixiu personally escorted the two unfamiliar men to the county office along with the staff from the restaurant

It is fortunate that he is unaware of what Luo Meixin is thinking; if he were to know that she regards him, the dignified Prince Wei Qing, as a 'plague god', it is likely that he would not only suffer internal injury but also stir up a tempest.

Upon seeing her mother enter the room, Luo Mei set down the medical book in her hands, stepped forward to assist her in sitting down, and then naturally began to knead her shoulders and massage her back.

As for this man

Good child, a little to the left ... ... mm-hmm ... ... a bit more to the left ... ... mm-ah ... ... that's it ... ... mm-hmm ... ...

Just as she was somewhat distracted, there was a sudden knock on the door.

No comment

With so many people watching, everyone knows that this man is here. Regardless of whether they make a deal or not, those people will not easily let her and her daughter go. Therefore, the mother chooses to 'fight back'; at worst, if they perish together, no one will be able to benefit from it.

Mother, I have something I wish to discuss with you. Luo Mei spoke while easing her fatigue at her behest.

On the table, there are four dishes and one soup, among which one dish is braised pig's trotters. Luo Huaixiu placed the plate in front of her daughter without saying a word, and kept serving the trotters into her daughter's bowl, "Good child, eat quickly, don't let others take it away."

For some unknown reason, she felt inexplicably irritated and uneasy around this person. Perhaps it was because he brought trouble to them, which made her detest such individuals. Now that trouble has already arrived, further words are of no use; the only option is to drive away this 'plague god' as soon as possible, in hopes of regaining peace.

Without raising her head, she said in a low voice, "Come in"

What do they look like, and do they have a self-reported origin

Nangong Zihen did not even glance at the dishes in front of him, his cold and stagnant gaze fixed unwaveringly on the bowl across from him filled with pig's trotters

After giving all the delicious food to her daughter, Luo Huaixiu seemed to realize that there was another person beside her. She then pushed a plate of shredded radish towards him and smiled, saying, "Come on, young man, don't be shy, eat more. The more you eat, the more strength you'll have to work."

She suddenly furrowed her beautiful brows and, in a voice that was both indifferent and calm, said softly, "It is evident that you do not like it here, and I believe you can also see that I do not welcome your stay. Therefore, I hope you can leave 'Duwei Restaurant' as soon as possible. As for the money to buy your medicine, I will persuade my mother to consider it a charity. The main door is downstairs, please take your time, and I will not see you off."

At this time, there were few diners, and Luo Mei was not worried about the business of the restaurant. After giving Da Gu some instructions, she returned to her room

As the sun was about to set in the west, Scholar Luo Huai returned from the yamen. When he left, he was escorting two unfamiliar men, but on his return, he was followed by two imposing and tall yamen runners.

Her sarcastic words carried a hint of teasing, causing Nangong Zihen to be momentarily taken aback. However, the unusual light in his eyes quickly faded, returning to their usual coldness

Speaking of which, studying medicine has its benefits. In addition to being able to treat patients, one can also engage in other pursuits, such as dealing with toxic substances, which can serve both as a means of self-defense and as a method of killing. Over the years, this has helped resolve quite a few troubles for her and her mother.

Hmm... what is it?

... ...

One does not know where such a person comes from, acting as if everyone in the world owes him something, without even considering whose territory this is.

Seeing this, Luo Huaixiu stopped smiling and said, "What, do you still think the food I made is not good? I must say, how can you be so unappreciative? It’s already good enough that you have something to eat; I didn’t even make you sit under the table to eat. Do you still have complaints? Why are you staring? That pig trotter is for my dear baby to nourish her health; do you, a grown man, also need to nourish yourself?"

Every time at this moment, it is the most comfortable time for Luo Huaixiu. Do not be deceived by her cold demeanor; in fact, she is the most considerate, far surpassing families that raise ten sons.

Puh— Luo Mei couldn't hold it in, and the mouthful of food she hadn't swallowed was all sprayed out.

As she passed by the wood shed, she suddenly heard the sound of chopping wood inside. She was momentarily taken aback, then walked towards the shed. Peering through the crack in the door, she gazed at the figure chopping wood inside, narrowing her eyes as her gaze grew increasingly cold and heavy

The mother and daughter were having dinner in the lobby

She is not cut out for business, lacking the smooth and optimistic disposition of her mother. Therefore, she rarely works in the lobby, fearing that she might not be able to muster a smile and inadvertently offend the guests

I have already driven that person away," Luo Mei said expressionlessly

Looking at his gradually ashen face, she once again curled her lips and said, "Have you finished chopping the firewood? I forgot to tell you, if the work is not done, there will be no food to eat. Don't say we are mistreating you then"

Let Otani take the two constables to the back courtyard's side room to rest, and Luo Huaixiu went to the kitchen to busy herself for a while before preparing to go upstairs to explain the situation to her daughter

Having finished speaking, she once again lowered her head, focusing intently on the medical texts in her hands

Indeed, since the day they rescued him, the mother and daughter may have already attracted trouble

Seeing him incessantly questioning, Luo Mei felt annoyed, raised her head, and coldly retorted, "Are you deaf and unable to understand words, or blind and unable to read people's expressions? I said I have nothing to say. Someone came to the restaurant looking for trouble, but they did not specify any names, so please do not be overly sentimental!"

Speak! Seeing her disregard him once again, Nangong Zihen narrowed his eyes, his voice growing increasingly cold and harsh

Hmm? Luo Huaixiu was taken aback for a moment, turned around to glance at her daughter, "Are you talking about that mute man?"

Compared to the usual warmth of everyday life, today's atmosphere is somewhat different, primarily due to the presence of a mysterious man.

Who he is does not matter, nor does it matter who the two people that came are. She assisted in releasing the poison gas to deal with those two merely to please her mother. As for her mother's intentions, she understands; it is not out of a desire to meddle, but rather because her mother has already realized that trouble has arisen.

Soon, the door was pushed open by someone

Before seeing who had arrived, a chill in the air was already sensed. Luo Mei looked up, facing the unfriendly cold face, and suddenly curled her lips into a smile, "Not bad, you even know to knock on the door"

"Good child, that person hasn't left," Luo Huaixiu said with a smile

Luo Mei lowered her head, ignoring it.

Luo Mei twitched her lips. The mute man

Nangong Ziheng clenched his hands tightly, his already cold and handsome face seemed to be shrouded in a layer of dark energy, even his gaze carried a hint of hostility

Didn’t leave?" Luo Mei's face instantly elongated

The people working in the restaurant, apart from respectfully serving tea and bowing to the two constables, did not show much surprise. The owner of the establishment has some influence in Yufeng County; do not be deceived by the fact that she is merely a widow, as her connections and means are in no way inferior to those of any man.

Looking at the cold, expressionless face sitting across from her, Luo Mei's appetite significantly diminished

After closing, the staff in the restaurant have all returned home.

Yes, that person hasn't left; they are currently chopping wood in the woodshed
