C34 Stranger

Luo Mingshi could only sigh from the bottom of her heart: This sight is pleasing to the eyes.

In that instant, Luo Mingshi became alert, this person was definitely not from the Luo Mansion. Although Luo Mansion had a great feast today, the area was limited to the front hall, backyard, and other places like that.

Even if there was some special reason, this person should also be a servant from the Luo Mansion accompanying them. However, this person had actually appeared here by himself at this time.

"Who are you?" It was very abrupt for him to ask so unceremoniously in this quiet and beautiful Plum Blossom Sea.

The figure on his back also moved, and after a long while, he turned and looked at Luo Mingshi.

The first thing he said was, "I didn't expect that Miss would be such a degenerate."

Luo Mingshi frowned, although she did not deny that she felt the same way, but she had never seen such an impolite person, and she looked into her eyes with slight anger.

With just a glance, Luo Mingshi was a bit stunned. Millions of scenes flashed through her mind, and all of them were fragments sealed within her memories.

It was a simple and elegant room. There were shelves filled with books, bookshelves filled with medicinal herbs, and even a picture of a red plum blossom hanging on the wall. Perhaps more.

Every image was very familiar, but he was not in any of them. Then where did this familiarity come from?

Where have I seen you?

Being acquainted with Jun Wu Yi was like returning to an old friend.

These words flashed across Luo Mingshi's mind in an instant, and she was slightly startled.

She did not see that person's long and beautiful eyebrows gently raise before quickly concealing himself. She only heard a low and gentle voice say, "I'm afraid that the young lady has mistaken her identity. I've never seen the young lady before."

When Luo Mingshi heard this, she was shocked and hurriedly came out from her thoughts. It turned out that what she had just said was only in her mind, but she unknowingly said it out loud, and was then shocked to realize that she was only an eleven year old girl, how could she meet an outsider.

No matter what, as the current Second Miss of the Luo Mansion, what she had just said was extremely inappropriate.

Luo Mingshi was disrespectful for an instant, and then she recovered her composure, and said with her face raised: "Yes, I have never seen young master before. I presume that young master is also one of the guests that came today to congratulate Luo Mansion, then young master might as well say that this is not a place where young master should have appeared, how did young master come here?"

Qi Maoyun couldn't help but laugh. What a sharp tongue a lady had, what a good way to denounce her crimes, and how overbearing she was.

Qi Maoyun thought that it was already the year of the dance and if he were to really argue with such a little girl, it would definitely be a little awkward. Thus, he amiably said: "Since I was young, my only hobby was growing flowers," he paused for a moment before continuing, "The red plums here are so beautiful, I have come here looking for a taste."

Luo Mingshi was startled when she heard the man say that he had suffered from an evil disease since young, and her heart could not help but soften. She looked at the man's face, and saw that it was pale and yellow, and although the man's voice was warm, there was indeed a sickly hoarseness to it.

However, that thought disappeared completely after hearing half of what the man said. Luo Mingshi was so angry that she almost laughed, what do you mean by lying? The reception hall was half a kilometer away. When she smelled it, did she really think she had a dog's nose?

Luo Mingshi thought about it unrestrainedly, but after taking into consideration the man's sickly face, she did not speak out, and only said: "You should leave quickly, it's not convenient for you to stay here any longer."

He was about to leave after finishing his sentence, not wanting to stay any longer with him, but the person continued: "I heard that there are two misses in Luo Mansion, I wonder if the missy is a Second Miss of Luo Mansion?"

Luo Mingshi's footsteps stalled, and her heart was at a loss as to why would this person be right? She then thought about the rumor that his daughter was talented and that she was a beauty. Was this person praising her for her looks, or was she implicitly calling her stupid?

Luo Mingshi was so angry that she glared at her again, but she could not say anything. What did she want to say? Was it actually Luo Mingxue who purposely deceived him?

Luo Mingshi asked herself if she was unwilling to do such a childish thing, and only restrained her temper to speak in a relatively gentle tone: "I am Second Miss of the Luo Mansion." She only spoke of her ranking and not her name.

That person laughed as if he had suddenly realized something. He did not understand and said: "Second Miss also said that it is inconvenient for me to walk around in the backyard. Can Second Miss bring me to the place where the guests should go?"

Luo Mingshi frowned slightly: "You can have your servant bring you out."

Qi Maoyun heard and said: "I originally thought so too, so I will wait here." Saying that, he made a motion of looking around before continuing, "As Second Miss sees. In these four weeks, other than the Second Miss, there was no one else. "

Luo Mingshi felt that the man was extremely free and at ease, following his words, she looked around, and sure enough, there was no one else.

But Luo Mingshi was still unwilling, and said: "I am a pure and innocent young miss, bringing you out to be seen by others, is definitely not appropriate."

Qi Maoyun had always been smiling, but now that he had been rejected, he did not get angry, but only said: "I was rude. Since that's the case, I will just wait a little longer."

Luo Mingshi merely responded indifferently. However, before she walked too far, when she heard the indistinct sound of coughing coming from behind him, she felt a gust of cold wind blow towards him. Tightening the fox fur on her body, Luo Mingshi finally compromised.

The two of them walked towards the main hall together, without talking on the way, Luo Mingshi who was in front had an expressionless face, but Qi Maoyun who was behind was calm and composed, as though he was taking a stroll at his own house.

The two of them had already left the sea of plum blossoms and were waiting for them to pass through the fake hill that was situated here. They would be able to reach the front hall after passing through a long corridor or two.

Luo Mingshi's footsteps suddenly stopped, and she immediately ran into the bushes to the side to hide, not forgetting to pull Qi Maoyun along.

Seeing the two of them holding hands, Qi Maoyun had a playful smile on his face, but the main character had not noticed it, and even quietly warned him not to make a sound. His gaze was completely focused on the other end of the fake mountain, where a hidden spot was located.

Qi Maoyun also looked over, to see a middle-aged man standing there, as though he was chatting with someone, no, to be more precise, it was intimacy. However, they couldn't clearly see who the woman was because they were standing at the spot where the fake mountain was caved in. The woman's figure was blocked by a large rock.

Luo Mingshi recognized the middle aged man's figure as Luo Anxu. Who was that woman? Luo Mingshi immediately thought of Concubine Cui, who was involved with Luo Anxu, and shook her head. Concubine Cui was still locked inside the wooden house, and had not been released. Could it be one of the maidservants in the mansion?
