Chapter 92 - Not a Mute
Chapter 92: Not a Mute
Mu Chaoyang walked to the “young man” and his eyes narrowed when he saw Feng Qing who was standing behind the “young man”.
‘Isn’t that Feng Qing? What is Feng Qing doing here with this young man?’ thought Mu Chaoyang, ‘Who could this young man be, why could he get Feng Qing to follow him around and protect him?’
‘Is that Luo Qianqian?!’ Mu Chaoyang gasped.
Mu Chaoyang looked the “young man” up and down, ‘It must be her! She just painted her eyebrows bushy, she is the same figure and bearing! I should have recognized her earlier, look at those eyes, no one else could have such a beautiful pair of eyes like her!’
Mu Chaoyang’s face lit up when he was sure that “young man” was Luo Qianqian, he was amazed by this girl and he kept blaming himself for not recognizing her earlier! He was completely infatuated with Luo Qianqian, he had seen so many sides of this girl now and he loved every side of her!
She was pretty, smart and brave, she was nothing like any girl he had met in his life!
Luo Qianqian wished it was him who was engaged to Luo Qianqian instead of Murong Yun.
“Ah~ it’s you, Qianqian.” Mu Chaoyang smiled at Luo Qianqian and spoke affectionately as if they were close friends.
Luo Qianqian wasn’t surprised that Mu Chaoyang had recognized her, she looked at Mu Chaoyang in the eye and hurled a question, “I didn’t know it’s you — the Crown Prince — who has connived his minions to beat up a feeble old man over a trivial matter!”
The bystanders who were there to find out who the owner of the carriage was gasped in unison, “What? The Crown Prince?”
“Greetings to Your Highness The Crown Prince!” the group knelt down.
The group regretted their life choices, they shouldn’t have gathered here and found out it was Mu Chaoyang who was sitting in the carriage. They knew how ridiculous this Crown Prince was and they didn’t want to have anything to do with him.
Mu Chaoyang enjoyed the attention and ostentation, he looked around and said, “You may rise now.”
With that he walked to Luo Qianqian and whispered at her ear, “Qianqian, you look even more beautiful when you are wearing menswear.”
“Are you nuts? And don’t get so close to me!” Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes and took a few steps back.
Feng Qingfixed his eyes on Mu Chaoyang without saying a word kept, he was ready to attack Mu Chaoyang whenever Luo Qianqian gave him the signal.
He couldn’t believe Mu Chaoyang would be so heaven-daring that he tried to make a move on his master’s fiancee.
‘No wonder master asks me to keep an eye on this bastard, it turns out he indeed has evil intentions on Her Highness!’ Feng Qing’s blood boiled with righteous indignation.
Mu Chaoyang put on a smiley face when Luo Qianqian called him names, he walked closer to Luo Qianqian and reached out his hand.
Feng Qing stepped up, he couldn’t wait for the signal, “Your Highness the Crown Prince please behave yourself!”
Mu Chaoyang flinched on seeing Feng Qing, he knew what Feng Qing was capable of, he snorted, “Feng Qing, you are Murong Yun’s servant, how dare you talk to me like this!”
With that being said, Mu Chaoyang took a few steps back for he didn’t want to provoke Feng Qing and get himself a beating.
Luo Qianqian said, “What Feng Qing said was right, you need to behave yourself!”
“And, I’m taking this elder with me, stop me if you can!” Luo Qianqian said with indifference, she sounded a lot more like Murong Yun now and that rendered Mu Chaoyang petrified on the spot.
The old man shot a look at Luo Qianqian and quickly he lowered his head, he didn’t say anything.
Luo Qianqian had always been indifferent to Mu Chaoyang, but this had only made Mu Chaoyang more interested in her.
“Qianqian, I will do whatever you say, so yeah you can take away this old man if you… …”
Luo Qianqian interrupted him, “Stop calling me like that!”
The bystanders burst into laughter on hearing that, Mu Chaoyang lifted his hand and drove them away.
“All right, I won’t any more. I told you I will do anything for you.” Mu Chaoyang put on a smile, but Luo Qianqian just found it disgusting.
Feng Qing tried so hard to not draw his sword and stab this Mu Chaoyang.
“But you need to have dinner with me.” Mu Chaoyang continued.
“Thank you for your kindness, but that’s completely unnecessary!” Luo Qianqian looked sideways.
“You!” Mu Chaoyang got so exasperated but soon he regained composure, “Aren’t you curious to find out why Murong Yun has left the capital city? Aren’t you curious to find out what’s going on with Gu Family?”
Luo Qianqian halted her steps and her heart started pounding, ‘It looks like he knows more than I do , should I go with him?’
“Your Highness the Crown Prince, no, I’m not interested.” Luo Qianqian answered with indifference, she knew Mu Chaoyang won’t tell her anything if she acted eagerly, the best way was to act like she didn’t care.
Mu Chaoyang’s face turned red and white by turns in an agony of embarrassment, little did he expect Luo Qianqian would turn him down even though he used Murong Yun as a bait.
With that Luo Qianqian turned around and supported the elder, together they left with Feng Qing.
Feng Qing was so impressed by her, he gave her a thumbs-up in the heart.
“Elder, don’t worry, I won’t hurt you. I will take care of you, now you are heavily injured, I will take you to a doctor and get you some new clothes, is that okay?” Luo Qianqian asked the old man as they walked further and further.
The old man nodded, “Thank you”, it turned out the man was not a mute!
“How great, you can speak!” Luo Qianqian beamed.
The old man nodded again.
“Great, I will take you to a doctor first.”
Feng Qing said Lin Zimo had a herbal medicine shop nearby, Luo Qianqian asked Feng Qing to take them to Lin Zimo.
Lin Zimo was thumbing a book when they arrived, Luo Qianqian knocked on the door, “Doctor Lin?”
“Qianqian?” Lin Zimo raised his head with disbelief.
What met his eyes were Luo Qianqian, Feng Qing and an old man covered with bruises.
Lin Zimo regained his composure, “To what do I owe this visit, Miss Luo?”
“Doctor Lin, we ran into this elder on the street, Her Highness is looking for a doctor for him, do you have time?” Feng Qing asked respectfully.
“What happened?” Lin Zimo asked promptly.
Luo Qianqian slumped into a chair, “This is all Mu Chaoyang’s doing!”
Lin Zimo looked at the man and said, “Elder, please follow me to the backyard.”
