ATBLM [QT] Chapter 141.4

“It’s not sudden. In fact, our kitchen had this arrangement a few years ago. But then the chef left, so I was responsible for it alone. I think that it’s time for you to learn to be on your own. In this way, you young people are growing up and are fond of sleeping. I will take care of breakfast. You can sleep a little longer and wait until it is time to eat. You will still make lunch and dinner with me, but I will leave the midnight snack to you. How about that?”

Jiang Rui nodded: “If Mama Li is willing to believe me, of course, I will be fine.”

Mama Li smiled and said: “Why don’t I believe you? I can rest assured when you do things.”

The food boxes were delivered to each courtyard, and today’s meal for the main courtyard was naturally made by Mama Li. Ling Yuan sat alone at the table. Liu Xingfeng had already arranged a guest room and did not eat with him.

Even though there was only one person, there was still nothing wrong with his sitting posture and behavior. Even the porridge he scooped up with a spoon had the same amount in each spoonful.

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps outside the house, and the next moment, Liu Xingfeng rushed in. Although he was informal, he had never been so rude. He thought that he had something urgent to do.

“Brother Ling, the demon has taken action again! This time the victims are the Kong family in Liuzhou!”

Ling Yuan took the letter from him and looked at it carefully, with a solemn look on his face.

“It must be him. Although there is no evidence, the method is exactly the same as the previous times. Poor Old Mr. Kong, such a respected senior, but he was brutally murdered. It’s disgusting!”

“Did Leader Liu say anything?” Ling Yuan asked with a frown.

Liu Xingfeng shook his head, “Not yet. This happened last night. I happened to have a friend in Liuzhou who handed me a letter and found out about it. It is estimated that Dad has just found out now.”

Ling Yuan nodded slightly, “Leader Liu will definitely seek justice for Old Mr. Kong.”

Liu Xingfeng patted the table and said, “When we attack the Demon Sect in the future, I will definitely fight that demon!”

Ling Yuan said: “There are many capable masters in the Wulin Alliance who will never let this person escape.”

Liu Xingfeng patted the table for a while before he had enough anger.

Within two days, everyone in the world was discussing this matter. Even old-timers like Old Mr. Kong suffered a bad hand. For a while, everyone felt in danger, fearing that they would become the next target of the Demon Sect. The voices calling for an attack on the Demon Sect were getting louder and louder.

But for the kitchen in Mingshan Village, everything was still calm. The only thing that was not calm was that in the past two days, distinguished guests from the main courtyard always came to the kitchen.

Sister Zhang and others thought he had fallen in love with Jiang Rui. Some were happy for her, while others were worried for her.

The good news was that this guest obviously came from an extraordinary family background. If she went with him, she would at least have enough food and clothing for the rest of her life.

The worrying point was that looking at his status, people knew that if she followed him, she could only be an aunt at best. Then, others would see the scenery from outside, but only she would know the pain inside.

Mama Li even warned Jiang Rui in a serious way, asking her to think twice before acting.

Jiang Rui had no choice but to emphasize again and again that she had no such intention. And she could also see that although Liu Xingfeng was somewhat interested in her, it was not a male-female interest.

She just didn’t know what he wanted to do. It seemed that she had to find a chance to find out clearly to avoid having to deal with rumors all the time.

This afternoon, someone from the courtyard came to get some snacks. He had other things to do, so he asked the kitchen to help deliver them. In the past, Wu’er, Xiao Xu, and others did the errands, but this time, Mama Li asked Jiang Rui to go.

In her opinion, although Jiang Rui said that she had no intention of becoming an aunt, if the distinguished guest really wanted her, she could not reject him as a servant.

The only plan, for now, is to let her go out for a walk to see if she can get good luck and see if she can make eye contact with any of the stewards, guards, or even the retainers of the mansion.

Before the distinguished guest opens his mouth, if you ask for a favor from the Owner of the village and make a marriage arrangement, you will truly have no worries.

Jiang Rui couldn’t resist her, so she had to go. She didn’t want to really make eye contact with anyone and cause trouble, so she lowered her head and slid along the wall, and finally, she delivered the food box smoothly.

When she came back, she followed the original route and walked to a garden near the main courtyard. Suddenly, she heard someone calling her: “Sanniang?”

She looked up and saw Liu Xingfeng waving to her. In the pavilion behind him, there was another person sitting in a wheelchair with his back to the outside.

“It’s really you,” Liu Xingfeng turned around and said to another person: “Look, Brother Ling, this is Mama Li’s apprentice, Sanniang.”

Oh, finally our ML met our MC.

Old Eight: This is so unfair! Why was it only me who met her so long after we had been in the same world for years? So biased… Was I an illegitimate child, Mom’s Author?
