Chapter 112 Denial of recognition after being beaten to death
Luo Lingzhang was furious, and he led a group of guards into the dining room. Everyone looked closely and saw Xiao Jinghan enjoying the food on the table slowly and elegantly.
Seeing Luo Lingzhang suddenly barge in, Xiao Jinghan was not in a hurry. He slowly put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands and stood up to greet him. With a faint smile on his lips, he said softly: "Third brother! What brings you to my house? Have you not eaten yet? Please take a seat! Someone, hurry up and add a set of bowls and chopsticks for third brother, and then tell the kitchen to make a few more delicious dishes!"
However, facing Xiao Jinghan's hospitality, Luo Lingzhang did not appreciate it at all. Instead, he sneered and said sternly: "Don't try to get close to me! Who is your third brother? If you know what's good for you, hand over Luo Xiaoqi quickly! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
Xiao Jinghan raised his head slightly and looked at Luo Lingzhang. His eyes were as clear as water, without any ripples: "Mr. Luo San, please calm down. I indeed have not seen Miss Luo today. If you don't believe me, you can let Mr. Luo San send people to search the mansion." His words were full of sincerity.
Luo Lingzhang was furious, veins popped out on his forehead, and he couldn't help cursing, "Fuck you! The guards in my house saw with their own eyes that Luo Xiaoqi fell from the tree into your Wu'an Palace! Could it be that they are lying collectively?"
Facing Luo Lingzhang's questioning, Xiao Jinghan looked calm. He raised his eyebrows and said slowly, "Well... maybe your guards are just dazzled. There are so many strange things in this world."
"You're talking nonsense!" Luo Lingzhang was immediately furious, and his voice rose eight degrees. "It was clearly you, the Wu'an Palace, who were behind this and hid the person! You still want to deny it?"
Xiao Jinghan raised his eyebrows, touched his nose leisurely, and then said indifferently: "Since Third Young Master Luo is so sure, why not search this palace thoroughly. If you can really find your sister, it would be the best; if not... hehe, then it can only mean that your sister is not here. When the time comes, Third Young Master Luo, please don't make trouble anymore."
The guards of Wu'an Palace lined up neatly on both sides, holding swords and fierce eyes, staring at Luo Lingzhang like tigers, as if they could pounce on him at any time. The secret guards hiding in the dark had already prepared for action. As long as Xiao Jinghan gave the order, they would immediately appear and capture Luo Lingzhang!
However, facing the tense atmosphere and everyone's eager eyes, Xiao Jinghan just waved his hand and said calmly: "No one is allowed to stop Mr. Luo San! Just let him go and search!"
Hearing this, Luo Lingzhang was slightly startled, but then a sneer appeared on his face. He slowly walked to the table, his eyes swept across the tableware, and then stopped at the extra set of bowls and chopsticks.
"Master Xiao, why are there two sets of bowls and chopsticks here?" Luo Lingzhang's voice was cold and sarcastic, as if he was full of suspicion and distrust towards Xiao Jinghan.
Xiao Jinghan said calmly, "My cousin, Princess Nanzhi, heard that I was assassinated, and she rushed back in a panic! She didn't even have time to eat a few bites of food, and she was so angry at me that she left directly!"
Luo Lingzhang recalled that he did see Princess Nanzhi's carriage on the road. He stared at Xiao Jinghan closely, his eyes full of suspicion and mistrust, and then turned to the guard beside him and ordered: "Search carefully!"
At this moment, Wenfu and Wengui ran into the room breathlessly. They looked panicked and tried to dissuade him: "My Lord, you must not do this! Doing this might cause unnecessary trouble..."
Just as the two sides were in a tense standoff, a pleasant voice as clear as a yellow oriole suddenly came from outside the courtyard wall: "Miss! Get up quickly! Today the kitchen has specially prepared your favorite crispy chicken and eight-treasure duck for you!"
This voice was like a thunder, exploding in everyone's ears. Luo Lingzhang, who had been tense, suddenly changed his expression. He rushed out of the room without hesitation and headed straight for the backyard like an arrow. Then, he flashed and easily crossed the courtyard wall, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
The guards who came with Luo Lingzhang looked at each other. After a moment's hesitation, they rushed out the door and quickly went to the backyard. They also used their lightness skills to fly over the wall and follow their master.
The people who stayed in the Wu'an Palace were all confused, and then their faces were filled with indescribable astonishment and numbness. Not only did the brother and sister like to climb over the wall, but even the guards around them did the same!
Alas! What is the use of the majestic gate of Wu'an Palace? Is it just a decoration? Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but shake their heads, secretly sighing at the eccentricity of this family.
Wen Fu was silent for a moment before he asked cautiously, "Prince, in my opinion, should we raise the wall higher? This way, the safety of the mansion can be enhanced!" As he spoke, he gestured with his hands to indicate the possible height to which the wall could be raised.
A faint smile appeared on Xiao Jinghan's stern face, and he said softly: "Haha, I didn't expect that the civil officials who walked out of the general's mansion would also have such high martial arts skills. It's really impressive!"
Wen Gui, who was standing nearby, immediately understood Xiao Jinghan's thoughts. He smiled flatteringly and asked, "Your Highness is right. Do we need to open a door in the wall? This will allow Miss Luo to come in and out freely. After all, Miss Luo is of noble status. If she has to climb over the wall every time, it will be inconvenient."
Xiao Jinghan nodded slightly to show his agreement, but then he fell into deep thought. After a while, he slowly said, "Well... let's put this matter aside for now! When the Crown Prince's Consort marries into our Xiao family in the future, she can make the decision herself." His words revealed his respect and trust for the future Crown Prince's Consort.
In early summer, the sun shines through the gaps between the leaves, casting mottled shadows. In front of Luo Lingyue's Wanyuewu, Luo Lingzhang knocked on her door anxiously, with a hint of anger in his voice: "Luo Xiaoqi! Come out now!"
Time passed by minute by minute, and finally, there was a slight noise in the house, and then the door slowly opened. Luo Lingyue was sleepy, with a clear grumpiness on her face. She yelled angrily: "Luo San! What's wrong with you so early in the morning? It was fine that you didn't let me leave the general's mansion yesterday, but today you can't even let me sleep in? Are you annoying or not!"
Facing his sister's questioning, Luo Lingzhang frowned, pointed his finger in the direction of the courtyard wall, and asked in a serious tone: "It's already noon, why don't you get up! Did you climb over the wall and escape today?"
Hearing this, Luo Lingyue was stunned at first, and then sneered contemptuously: "Luo San! Are you crazy? Why would I climb over the wall when I'm fine? Am I really so bored that I have to find something to do?" After that, she rolled her eyes at her brother and closed the door directly!
