Chapter 430 - 430 Was really bold
430 Was really bold
King Jin was taken aback, clearly not expecting Shi Qingluo to write a letter to him.
He took the letter and read it curiously.
He had thought that the girl would give him some ideas again, but after reading the letter, he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Liang Mingyu was also very curious. “Father, what did she say in the letter?”!!
King Jin placed the letter on the table. “She asked if I should fulfill my promise.
“She wants me to repair the road.”
That girl was really bold. If she were someone else, they wouldn’t dare to write such a blatant letter to make him fulfill his promise.
Liang Mingyu was stunned. “She’s really direct.”
“Then, father, should we start building the road?” he asked.
King Jin nodded. “Of course we’ll fix it. We have to let her know that I’m a man of my word, so that she’ll continue to give us good ideas.”
Liang Mingyu thought for a moment. “Why don’t I go to Heyang County and talk to them about repairing the road?”
King Jin thought for a moment. “Alright, then go to Heyang County personally. You must complete this task.
He then emphasized, “Be careful. don’t affect the overall situation.”
Liang Mingyu nodded. “Don’t worry, father. I understand.”
Naturally, he would not ruin the overall situation because of his little hobby.
He himself wanted to rope in Shi Qingluo.
The next day, Liang Mingyu set off for Heyang County.
However, there was one more person.
His younger sister, Liang Mingmin, who was also the only legitimate daughter of King Jin’s wife. When the late emperor was still in power, she was conferred the title of Princess Zhen, which meant that she was a treasure.
And from the fact that she has the same ‘Ming’ in her name as Liang Mingyu, it could be seen how much Liang Mingmin was dotted on.
In the entire residence, she could be said to be King Jin’s most doted on child. In terms of food, clothing, and power, the other illegitimate daughters couldn’t even compare to one of her fingers.
This time, when she heard that Liang Mingyu was going to Heyang County, Liang Mingmin felt that she had been bored recently.
In order to hide from others, she had to follow him, euphemistically saying that she wanted to relax.
King Jin and his wife had both agreed.
Although Liang Mingyu was not willing to bring along this little troublemaker, he could only agree.
Because Liang Mingmin was with them, the carriage could not go fast.
The people who had arranged for them tried their best to go to a restaurant for the two masters to have their meals during lunch and dinner time.
The main thing was to serve the princess well, otherwise, the outcome would not be good.
They had lunch at the county closest to Northern City.
Liang Mingmin was a picky eater, so she put down her chopsticks after eating a little.
She looked at her elder brother, the illegitimate son of King Jin, who was still eating and asked, “Liang Mingyu, have you seen Shi Qingluo’s husband, Xiao Hanzheng?”
Liang Mingyu was already used to being called by name by his younger sister.
He had always known that his sister looked down on them, the sons of the concubines, not to mention that she had never hidden her words and actions.
However, her father didn’t care at all, and the princess was even more indulgent. They, the illegitimate children, could only endure it.
In particular, she was the only legitimate daughter in King Jin’s residence. Her father doted on her very much.
He wanted to stabilize his position as the crown prince, so he had always been very polite to this sister of his.
He shook his head. “I’ve never seen Xiao Hanzheng.”
Thinking of his sister’s interest, he couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong?”
Liang Mingmin smiled. “Nothing, I’m just a little curious and wanted to meet him.”
Liang Mingyu’s heart skipped a beat. “What’s so good about meeting a married man? He just came from a small village. He shouldn’t be much.”
Liang Mingmin raised an eyebrow. “But I heard that Xiao Hanzheng is very good-looking!”
“Who told you that? Xiao Hanzheng has never been to Northern City before, so no one should have seen him, right?”
At the very least, this younger sister of his should not have met anyone he was familiar with.
“Didn’t the people from the deputy governor’s office see it before?” Liang Mingmin asked.
Liang Mingyu grasped the key point. “You heard it from the people in the deputy governor’s office? ”
Liang Mingmin didn’t hide anything. “That’s right. I went to the deputy governor’s office a few days ago and met Xiao Yuanshi’s concubine. She told me.”
Xiao Yuanshi was quite good-looking, he was more in line with her aesthetic preferences.
It was just that he was too old and his position was too high, so she didn’t make a move.
However, she was still somewhat interested, so two days ago, she was bored and went to the deputy governor’s office for fun.
When she met Xiao Yuanshi’s concubine, she asked more about it and expressed her interest in him, saying that he was quite good-looking.
However, Concubine Ge told her that Xiao Yuanshi was much less handsome than his son, Xiao Hanzheng.
It was said that Xiao Hanzheng was unparalleled in his handsomeness and gentleness.
When he became the top scorer in this year’s examination, he was the first choice among the young ladies in the capital’s aristocratic families.
It was a pity that Xiao Hanzheng was already married, so those women did not have any thoughts about him.
And that was why she was interested.
It just so happened that she heard that her elder half-brother was going to Heyang County, where Xiao Hanzheng was the county magistrate.
She had been annoyed by her fiancé’s family recently, so she wanted to go with him.
Liang Mingyu cursed Xiao Yuanshi’s concubine even more in his heart for saying this to Liang Mingmin.
Then, he suddenly remembered that Xiao Yuanshi’s concubine had been demoted from a wife to a concubine by Shi Qingluo.
It looked like she had said it on purpose in front of Liang Mingmin, and his head hurt even more.
He thought for a moment and reminded her, “Princess, our father is trying his best to win over Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo. We can’t ruin their good impression of King Jin’s residence.”
So don’t even think about doing anything to Xiao Hanzheng.
Liang Mingmin raised her eyebrows unhappily. “Father is talking about you, right?”
She pursed her lips indifferently. “Besides, he’s just a small county magistrate. There’s no need to be so cautious.”
Liang Mingyu was speechless.
If he had known, he wouldn’t have volunteered to go to Heyang County.
He could only remind her again, “Although he’s just a county magistrate, he’s still someone that our father wants to win over.
“Especially his wife, Shi Qingluo. She’s a golden doll. Our father wants to win her over to work for our residence.”
Liang Mingmin looked at him with a half-smile, “Liang Mingyu, you took the initiative to suggest going to Heyang County just to build a road?
“I know exactly what you like. If you aren’t interested in Shi Qingluo, would you have come all the way there?”
Liang Mingyu’s thoughts were seen through by Liang Mingmin.
He smiled awkwardly. “Not really. She’s someone that our father wants to rope in. Even if I’m interested, I won’t touch her.”
So, little troublemaker, you should also put away your thoughts.
“If you take her in, won’t she be completely under King Jin residence’s control?” Liang Mingmin asked.
“That’s why I think we can divide our work. You go to Shi Qingluo, and I’ll go to Xiao Hanzheng.”
Liang Mingyu suddenly felt extremely vexed, but he couldn’t say harsh words to his younger sister. Besides, she wouldn’t listen to him.
He thought for a while and said, “You may not like Xiao Hanzheng.”
Liang Mingmin shrugged. “If he isn’t to my expectation, then I’m naturally not interested in him.”
She gave him a meaningful smile. “Don’t worry. Whether I like Xiao Hanzheng or not, I won’t stop you from seducing Shi Qingluo.”
