Chapter 231 True Father-Daughter Acquaintance

Mu Qingli frowned and pondered for a long time, and finally felt that it was because he left without saying goodbye that made her angry.

I saw the boy just now asking someone to bring a bath tub and food over, and wait for the two servants to deliver the things in.

Mu Qingli stopped the leading servant and asked why there were still people on board.

The servant explained that the guests had escaped from a ship that was robbed and caught fire, and the host took them in.

Mu Qingli's face darkened when she learned about the situation, and her eyes were filled with worry. Was she injured? Why was she in Yangzhou?

He went to the next room on the left to look for the two sisters Huali and Huaguo.

"Hua Guo, go find the cook on the ship and ask them to prepare two bowls of ginger soup. Bring it to the room next to my room later."

"Master? There's someone living next door? Who is it?" Huaguo was just making the bed and Huali was organizing her luggage, so they didn't know what was going on outside.

"It's the second young master of the Lu family. They were chased and fell into the water just now. You go and make arrangements first!"

When the two sisters Hua and Guo heard that it was the second young master, they were very surprised, and then they were delighted. This time when they went to the capital, the master must have been looking for the Lu family, but they didn't expect to meet him here.

Hua Guo responded and went to prepare, and Mu Qingli said to Hua Li, "Wait until the father and daughter have washed up, go and check their pulses to see if they have a cold."

Lu Zhanxing is still angry, so it would be better to let Huali explain, and then he can talk to her when she calms down.

Lu Zhanxing helped her daughter wash up first. She asked her daughter to eat first, while she went into the bathtub to wash herself. She did not take the clothes in the space. After all, everyone saw that they father and daughter did not bring anything, and it would not be good to show up and arouse suspicion.

So the clothes I wore were also brought by Mr. Hu. The fabric was of decent quality. I couldn't help but admire Mr. Hu's character.

No wonder he can manage a business.

After cleaning, Lu Zhanxing sat next to his daughter to eat, when there was a knock on the door.

When Lu Zhanxing thought it was Mu Qingli, he opened the door and found that it was the sisters Huaguo and Huali.

All in all, they hadn't seen each other for a year, and they were quite happy to meet again in a foreign land.

"Master, it's really you. I thought the master was lying to me. The master said he was worried that you would catch a cold, so he asked me to prepare ginger soup for you and the young lady." Hua Guo said in surprise.

Lu Zhanxing also noticed Huaguo carrying a tray, and just smiled and let them in.

Huali said, "The master asked me to feel your pulse, young master, so as not to let the cold enter your body."

"Okay." Lu Zhanxing responded, "Let my daughter see it first!" There is no need for him to do that.

Lu Zhanxing was very touched by Mu Qingli's thoughtfulness.

When Huali Huaguo saw the delicate Xiao Ling'er, his eyes lit up and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow! The young lady is so beautiful!"

"She inherited all of the young master's looks. She's really beautiful!"

When the two sisters saw Ling'er swinging her legs and eating with her little mouth, they really wanted to pinch her chubby face. How could there be such a cute baby!

Ling'er opened her big watery eyes, tilted her head and asked, "Daddy, who are they?"

"Yes..." Lu Zhanxing was stunned for a moment, and almost said that they were your father's maids. Fortunately, she reacted and said, "They are the maids of my father's good friend, Sister Huali and Sister Huaguo. They are twins."

"Oh, hello two sisters, you look alike!" Ling'er said in a baby voice.

The two sisters were completely attracted by Xiao Ling'er's cuteness. Hua Guo began to tease her: "Little Miss, if you can guess who is the younger sister and who is the older sister, we will give you a gift."

When Xiao Ling'er heard there was a gift, she was naturally happy. She rolled her beautiful eyes and said, "Aren't you my sister?"

Hua Guo was surprised: "How did you know?"

Lu Zhanxing was stunned. She felt that Ling'er's IQ was indeed much higher than her peers. She had just told her a story about truth and lies to teach her how to distinguish right from wrong, and she actually drew inferences from it.

What she just said had two meanings, and no matter which answer she gave, Ling'er would not be wrong.

My daughter is so smart that she has surpassed me. That’s great. Now I can lie down better.

Ling'er said with a matter-of-fact expression: "It's either the elder sister or the younger sister, what's so rare about that!"

"Master, the young lady is so smart, as smart as our master."

"Is your master very smart?" Ling'er asked curiously.

Lu Zhanxing coughed lightly, interrupting Ling'er's curiosity: "Let's have ginger soup first, and Huali will also help Ling'er feel her pulse."

The two sisters then remembered their mission. After Lu Zhanxing and Ling'er drank the ginger soup, they refused to have Huali take their pulses.

Huali was relieved to see that they were fine.

After Lu Zhanxing felt relieved, he asked them where they had been in the past year.

Hualihuaguo did not hide anything and told everything about their visit to the daughter of Qi.

Only then did Lu Zhanxing realize that Mu Qingli's life was not easy either.

"So your master stayed in the Divine Doctor Valley later?"

"Yes, the master just woke up in recent days, but the remaining poison has not been completely cleared, and he needs to be recuperated slowly. When the master heard that there was a poison at work, he immediately decided to go to the capital. I didn't expect to see you here." Huali said.

Lu Zhanxing was silent for a moment before he said, "Why doesn't your master come to see me?"

"I am coming!"

Mu Qingli pushed the door open and walked in, eyes full of apology: "It was wrong of me to leave without saying goodbye, I won't do it again in the future, you...don't be angry!"

He had been standing at the door just now and didn't dare to come in. When he heard her question, he hurried in and apologized.

No matter what the reason is for her to be angry, it is always my fault and I should apologize.

Lu Zhanxing looked a little unnatural. How could she blame him for leaving without saying goodbye?

She coughed lightly to cover up her discomfort, then nodded proudly: "It won't happen again!"

Seeing that Lu Zhanxing paid attention to her, Mu Qingli was very happy, and then she looked at Xiao Ling'er: "Is this your daughter? That's great!"

I felt a little bitter in my heart, but when I saw that Ling'er and Lu Zhanxing looked 80% similar, I felt happy.

Perhaps because he loved the girl so much, he actually felt that the child was very much to his liking.

I wonder if Lu Zhanxing was also so cute and exquisite when he was little?

Without waiting for Lu Zhanxing to answer, Xiao Ling'er jumped off the chair, came to Mu Qingli, looked up at him, and asked in a soft voice: "Are you my father's good friend? Are you also the smart master that the two sisters Huaguo and Huali mentioned?"

Mu Qingli first glanced at Lu Zhanxing. Seeing that Lu Zhanxing was concentrating on eating, he squatted down and touched her head: "Your name is Ling'er? How old are you?"

Ling'er opened her eyes wide and looked at Mu Qingli. For some reason, even though it was their first meeting, she felt very close to this handsome man. "Well, my name is Lu Qingcheng, which was given by my grandfather, and Ling'er was given by my father. I was born in March of Yangchun, and I will be two years old in two months."

Lu Zhanxing saw Ling'er talking so much to a stranger. Could this be the connection between father and daughter?

Mu Qingli was surprised to see Ling'er speaking so fluently, and she liked Ling'er even more in her heart.

"Ling'er is so good!"

Mu Qingli liked Ling'er very much and wanted to take her as his disciple. He knew that it was impossible for him to fall in love with a woman in this lifetime, and he only hoped that through Ling'er he could have more time to meet Lu Zhanxing.

However, this matter requires Lu Zhanxing's consent.

So, he held Ling'er and sat down opposite Lu Zhanxing, looking worriedly at the person he had been thinking about all the time: "You look much thinner!"

Lu Zhanxing paused in his action of picking up the food, remembering that Mu Qingli had not been much better since leaving Yanzhou. The inexplicable anger in his heart had long dissipated.

She glanced at him, then continued to eat slowly. After swallowing, she explained, "Mu Qingran fed An An the Tongsheng Gu and held Ling'er hostage. I followed him all the way here."

I was worried that my daughter might get hurt along the way, so I naturally didn't get a good rest.

"What? Mu Qingran came to Yangzhou?"
