Chapter 271 This person is too scheming



Chapter 271 This person is too scheming

Although he was asked in a boring way, Luo Yu still did not forget to eat the glutinous rice dumplings.

This was the first time a man asked her out for a walk, but she was turned away. However, this didn't let her mood for enjoying the delicious food affect her.

The two walked to the front of the shop. It was an old shop and there were many customers eating there even late at night.

After entering the shop, Luo Yu ordered a glutinous rice dumpling with all kinds of fillings. There were eight kinds of fillings in total, and each dumpling was almost as big as the palm of her hand.

Zhu Jinyou kindly reminded her: "This stuff is easy to fill your stomach, just eat two at night and you'll be full."

Luo Yu thought about it and agreed, but it was shameful to waste food, so he went to wash his hands, broke half of a dumpling and handed it to Zhu Jinyou.

"We can each have half and half, so we can taste all the fillings without being too full. How great!"

Zhu Jinyou: I’ve had enough of this for lunch. I don’t want to eat it anymore no matter how delicious it is.

But he took the dumpling she handed over without anyone noticing.

Although he was disgusted, when he saw Miss Luo Yu's almond-shaped eyes curved into crescent shapes while eating, he thought she had eaten some delicious food, so he couldn't help but taste it. Hmm, it tasted the same as during the day, nothing special.

Luo Yu ate until his stomach was full, and he couldn't help but touch his stomach with a smile in his eyes, looking very satisfied.

I couldn't help but sigh: "After so many days, I can finally eat my fill."

"Since Miss Luo Yu has arrived in Qianzhou, it must be not far from your hometown. The food here should be to your liking."

Luo Yu smiled, knowing that he was trying to trick her again.

"Master has lived in the mountains for many years. After so many years, I don't even know which mountain he lived in."

"..."

On the way back, Luo Yu packed up a few kinds of delicious dumplings and said he would take them back for everyone to try.

She seemed to be in a very good mood, and there were fewer people on the road when she returned. Luo Yu said to Zhu Jinyou beside him: "Your Highness, you should also go back early to rest. I can go back by myself."

"Since I brought you out, I must see it through to the end."

"All right!"

Zhu Jinyou chuckled: "You really don't want to go with me?"

Luo Yu shook his head and smiled helplessly: "If Miss Qin and I find our master in the future, how will you treat us?"

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"We have never been friends. Your Highness has suddenly treated me so well that I am temporarily unable to adapt. If we are friends now and one day become enemies, how should I respond?"

"It seems that the master you are looking for is actually someone you and Miss Qin invented?"

Damn, so why does this person need to be so smart?

Luo Yu lowered his eyes and smiled: "Your Highness is really too kind to us. Miss Qin and I are not self-taught. Do you think we can create so many new things based on our imagination?"

"So when do you plan to set out to find that otherworldly master?"

"It's not certain that we can find him. Everything depends on fate."

Zhu Jinyou could only keep smiling and continue to endure.

Of course, he couldn't tell her that once he found the master, he would naturally bring them into the imperial city. As for how his royal brother planned to deal with them, he could only wait and see...

Only useful people are worthy of his pretending to please them. What's the point of keeping useless people?

Luo Yu chuckled softly, "Your Highness, have you thought of hundreds of ways to kill Miss Qin and me? You clearly don't like me, yet you're trying so hard to pretend. It's really embarrassing for you."

"Miss Luo Yu, just because I've never questioned your identity doesn't mean I can trust you without a clear conscience. If you claim you truly possess spiritual powers, what does that mean even if I believe you? Can you think of a way out for yourself? If not, do you really think placing your hopes on someone in such a powerful position will be safer?"

Luo Yu was stunned for a moment. He actually said so much to him.

After a while, she murmured, "Is there really no way out?"

"If you have any other ideas, please let me know and I will do my best to help you."

"Why? Didn't you just say not to put your hopes on..."

"Do you understand mutual benefit? It's impossible for someone as smart as Miss Luo to not think of this."

A guess emerged in Luo Yu's mind.

He seemed to want more, something higher and more than the highest power...

This person seems harmless, but is everything not as simple as it seems?

When we reached the city gate, it would be closed in just one stick of incense.

It just so happened that Song Si was waiting for Zhu Jinyou at the city gate.

"Master, you are finally back."

He nodded to Luo Yu as a gesture of goodwill.

Luo Yu said goodbye to them and wanted to leave on his own.

At this moment, a familiar voice called her.

"Sister Luo Yu, how could this be such a coincidence?"

It’s Xia Liang and Yan Xuan.

Seeing that it was the two of them, Zhu Jinyou did not insist on sending her back. He just whispered to Song Si: "Tomorrow we will find a good house and arrange for Miss Luo Yu and the others to move in."

"Yes, Master!"

On the way back, Xia Liang had an incredible look of gossip on his face.

"Sister, are you dating His Royal Highness Prince Ning?"

Luo Yu nodded: "Yes, what's wrong?"

"Do you like him? Or does he like you?" Xia Liang didn't see any signs, but Zhu Jinyou treated Sister Luo Yu better than normal people.

"He definitely doesn't like me. He might be trying to dig something out of me."

As for Luo Yu herself, she couldn't figure it out. If Zhu Jinyou had asked her out in the past, she would definitely be the first to refuse.

Could it be that he was truly possessed by a ghost? Or was it because of the unspeakable experience they had with each other that caused a subtle change in his state of mind? But now, he had completely given up hope. He really was the cautious, meticulous, and unusually calm Prince Ning.

"Xia Cao, we have to find a way to quickly sneak into the primitive forest and find Master."

"Sister, are you frightened again?"

Xia Liang sighed, "If you are easily frightened, sister, it is better for you not to have a relationship with His Royal Highness Prince Ning."

"When did I talk to him?"

Yan Xuan pretended to be serious and said, "Well, I also think it's better not to talk about it. I heard from my grandfather that Prince Ning is the youngest prince who looks most like the late emperor. If he hadn't been so young when the late emperor died, the throne might not have been his..."

Xia Liang jumped up and covered Yan Xuan's mouth.

"Idiot, Prince Ning has secret guards following us, don't talk nonsense."

Yan Xuan nodded, he didn’t say anything nonsense!

Luo Yu’s frown deepened, everything seemed so strange and weird.

***

The next day, the weather was gloomy.

Even in winter, the southwest region is often gloomy and drizzles continuously.

From the tent came the wails of the dog-legged man's wife during childbirth. Xia Liang, Erya and Sanya were helping nearby. The dog-legged man's cries were even more miserable than his wife's.

Luo Yu and the others were waiting quietly in another tent. This was the first time they faced a new life. Qin Bingrui and Luo Yu paced back and forth, more nervous than when a person was giving birth.

Yan Xuan wanted to go and see how Xia Liang delivered the baby, but was pulled back by Qin Bingrui.

"Be careful of the lackeys biting you."

Yan Xuan was nervous: "I thought only women would suffer from childbirth, but I didn't expect animals would suffer the same."

Luo Yu nodded and said, "This is the law of nature, but it is still much easier for animals to give birth than for humans if they have a good environment."

"Then I'd better not let Xia Cao have children in the future. It's too scary. I heard that many women died during childbirth."

Qin Bingrui had just stopped to drink tea and almost spit out tea when he heard this.

"How far have you and Xia Cao progressed?"

Yan Xuan didn't react and asked, "Which step?"

"You little brat, just kiss and hold hands, don't go too far."

Yan Xuan immediately understood and his face turned red.

"We haven't gotten to that point yet. Xia Cao said she's still young. Oh, Miss Qin, how come you ask so many questions?"

"Just know it, don't do anything rash. Once you're pregnant, you can't just get rid of the baby if you want. Besides, you're still a child, so don't have children too soon. Wait until you're married."

Yan Xuan lowered his head, feeling something was strange.

After a while, cheers were heard from the tent next door.

"Dong Nuan gave birth to four adorable little wolves, two males and two females."

"very nice!"
