Chapter 712

712 This is clearly something

In the inn, Gu Xin, Gu si, and Huo Junhao’s necks were twisted in pain. They couldn’t hear what the people next door were saying. They kept talking, but they couldn’t hear what they were saying.

Lu Zheng sat at the table, sipping his tea leisurely. The more he looked at the three fools stuck to the wall, the more he wanted to laugh.

Suddenly, his ears twitched. He was so shocked that he quickly put down his teacup and walked over. He then carried Gu Xin and Gu si away from the wall.

Gu Xin& and Gu si were speechless.

The young lady looked at Lu Zheng with her big eyes, blinking, her face blank.

“I’m afraid you’ll be tired. Sit down and drink some water.” Lu Zheng opened the upturned cup and poured water for the two of them.

He glanced at Huo Junhao again. As expected, the silly boy’s eyes were getting wider and wider, and his mouth was so wide that an egg could be eaten. His ears were red, and his face was red.

Gu si turned to look at Huo Junhao and asked,”witong Huo, what’s wrong?” What’s with this expression? Did they say anything?”

Huo Junhao ran over and shook his head. “Nothing, nothing. I can’t hear you clearly, just like before!”

“Oh!” Gu si replied.

Gu Xin,’but I clearly saw something! No, I want to go and listen!”

Lu Zheng was so shocked that he pulled her back. Gu Xin turned around and looked at Lu Zheng in confusion.

“Ahem.” Lu Zheng coughed awkwardly. Junhao, go with Xinxin and sisi to the door and wait for sister Huihui and the others. When they’re here, bring them up. I’ll be fine alone.”

Huo Junhao nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice. “Alright, alright.”

Gu Xin,’brother Yuanyuan, can you handle this on your own? I just heard the “open, close, open, close” sounds next door. It felt like there were a lot of “Ren” sounds.”

&Nbsp; ” I’ll be fine, ” Lu Zheng smiled. you guys go!

The three of them left the room.

Gu Xin suddenly stopped in her tracks and looked at the room next door curiously, ” sisi, did you hear a girl’s scream? it was a particularly tragic kind. Did a girl get bullied? ”

Huo Junhao immediately pulled the two of them downstairs. Fortunately, brother Yuan’s Inn had bricks on both sides. Otherwise, with such soundproofing, the two silly girls would have to go next door to save the girl.

Downstairs, Huo Junhao even pulled the two of them outside the inn, afraid that they could hear the noise downstairs.

It was a September night, and the wind was quite cool. The red on Huo Junhao’s face was slowly blown away, and he heaved a sigh of relief.

Lu Zheng took a handkerchief and covered his face, only revealing his eyes.

His hearing was better than the three children’s, so he had already recognized the person next door.

The young master of the Yuzhou magistrate, Xie Nanfeng. He had met Xie Nanfeng a few times when he was at the Lu family’s ancestral residence.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Moreover, the Yuzhou magistrate was the maiden family of the Duke of Rong’s wife, Madam Xie. When the Duke of Rong couple was escorting the late Emperor back to the capital city to ascend to the throne, they lost their daughter and hurt their son. During the reign of the late Emperor, because of his guilt, he rewarded the Jiang family and the Xie family a lot.

The old master of the Xie family, the elder brother of Duke Rong’s wife, had already taken up the position of Minister of Works, and many of the Xie family members were also officials in the court.

Xie Liang, the Yuzhou prefect, was the son of the Minister of Works and the nephew of the Xie family. In other words, Madam li and the Yuzhou prefect were cousins, and Li Muyan and Xie Nanfeng were cousins.

Lu Zheng had just been thinking whether this Xie Nanfeng knew that his grandaunt had come to Qingzhou to look for relatives.

He wanted to snatch the Gu family’s business. Lu Zheng did not care who he was related to. He would beat him up first and talk later!

However, he was a little hesitant. Since his second uncle and aunt Lian were not at home, he wondered if he should tell Gu Nian about the relationship between the Xie family and Madam li and her son.
