Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

Chapter 2154 Heartbeat

The soft touch is addictive, and Liu Mochen can't help but feel moved.

But this behavior frightened Shangguan Chu. She pushed him away awkwardly and said calmly, "Liu Mochen, thank you for helping me yesterday."

After she finished speaking, Shangguan Chu bowed to him earnestly and thanked him sincerely, with a look of aloofness and politeness on her face. Seeing her treating him like this, Liu Mochen's previous fantasies all disappeared.

Whether she was a woman or not, he couldn't find out now. He could only wait for the right opportunity.

His thoughts were churning. After thinking it all through, he coughed lightly and regained his composure: "It's okay. We are from the same sect, so it's my duty to help."

"We had a lot of misunderstandings before, but from now on, we can still be friends." Liu Mochen tried to resolve all the previous unpleasantness with just one sentence.

But Shangguan Chu never intended to forgive and remained silent.

Liu Mochen felt that he was asking for trouble, so he pouted and simply said goodbye. He still had to go back and think of a solution regarding the exposure of Shangguan Chu's female body.

After sending them away, Shangguan Chu returned to her room, took a careful bath, dressed up, and waited for Wan Shufang and the others to come back. She wanted to see with her own eyes that her father was safe before she could feel at ease.

After the county magistrate returned home, the old house became peaceful again, and Chen Changli and Wan Shufang also moved in temporarily.

The next morning, Chen Changli went out to buy medicine for the county magistrate, but suddenly found a young girl selling herself on the street to bury her father.

The girl knelt in the crowd, lowered her head and cried. In front of her was a dirty man who had been dead for a long time.

"I beg kindhearted people to have mercy on me and allow me to sell myself to bury my father. I can do anything." The girl cried and begged, knocking her forehead on the ground with a crisp sound.

She was wearing thin clothes, and her small body seemed to be unable to bear the weight and kept shaking. Seeing this, Chen Changli couldn't help but feel moved.

He took a step forward, placed a bag of money in front of the girl, and said softly, "The money here is enough for you to bury him properly and find a place to live. Take the money and leave quickly."

Hearing this, the girl looked up suddenly. When she saw Chen Changli's face clearly, her pupils suddenly widened and a hint of admiration flashed in her eyes, but she quickly lowered her head and did not let Chen Changli notice this abnormality.

"Master, if you help me, you are buying my body. I am willing to be your slave and serve you all my life." She kowtowed obediently, revealing a section of her fair neck just right.

Looking down along her neck, she could see the grooves inside, but Chen Changli didn't even look at her. He just left after leaving a few words.

"I don't need you to serve me. Just take the money and leave. Live a good life."

"Sir!" Before he could take a step forward, his trouser legs were grabbed by someone. The girl raised her head and looked at him with tearful eyes: "Sir, my father is dead and I have nowhere to go. Please take me in."

Chen Luoluo's fingertips turned white, and she held him tightly as if she had grabbed a rich man. She looked pitiful and told him about her experience.

Her mother had a difficult childbirth, her father died suddenly, her house and land were occupied by her uncle, and she was left alone and helpless.

"Young Master, there are many bandits outside. If you don't accept me, I will die if I leave here." These words were bound to force Chen Changli to give her a place to stay.

Chen Changli frowned, looking at Chen Luoluo's frail appearance, and muttered something in his heart. Coincidentally, Wan Shufang also came over at this time, and seeing the two of them entangled, she quickly stepped forward.

"How is this going?"

Hearing Wan Shufang's voice, Chen Changli breathed a sigh of relief and explained in a low voice: "Shufang, she sold herself to bury her father. I wanted to give her some money to send her away, but she wanted to follow me."

Hearing this, Wan Shufang took a closer look at Chen Luoluo. Seeing that she was a little girl, she suddenly thought of the county magistrate and nodded gently: "If you want to stay, then stay."

After saying this, Chen Luoluo's face suddenly lit up. Just as she was about to kowtow to thank him, she heard Wan Shufang change the subject: "We just happen to be in need of a maid to take care of the county master. Let her go to the old house."

"Son..."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Chen Changli agreed immediately, not noticing Chen Luoluo's reluctant look, and left holding Wan Shufang's hand.

Before leaving, Wan Shufang turned to look at Chen Luoluo and said calmly, "Go bury your father first, and come to Shangguan Mansion later."

"Dark one."

"lady!"

As soon as An Yi appeared, Wan Shufang pointed at the kneeling Chen Luoluo and gave her some instructions: "Help her a little. If she wants to leave, let her go. If she doesn't want to leave, take her back to the mansion."

"Yes, ma'am."

After An Yi received the order, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang also left. Looking at their backs as they walked away, Chen Luoluo felt dissatisfied, as she had wanted to follow Chen Changli.

But Wan Shufang arranged her to take care of an old thing!

"Damn it." Chen Luoluo muttered, but in order to give Chen Changli a good impression, he gritted his teeth, and after burying the person, he followed the secret guard back to Shangguan Mansion.

When the secret guard and Chen Luoluo arrived, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang also came back with medicinal herbs. Seeing Chen Luoluo, Wan Shufang raised her eyebrows, as if she didn't expect her to come. However, Chen Luoluo seemed unaware and stepped forward to salute obediently.

"This servant asks you how you are, sir."

She walked straight past Wan Shufang and went to Chen Changli to serve him.

Frightened, Chen Changli quickly dodged, frowned and said in a cold voice: "You don't have to serve me."

"Sir..." She showed a pitiful expression again, and her tone was delicate.

Wan Shufang rubbed her arms quickly and said with a smile: "Let's go in and take a look. The person you want to serve personally is the county master."

As she spoke, she walked in first, and Chen Changli immediately followed. When they entered the inner room, they saw Shangguan Chu, who was dressed in men's clothes, taking care of the county magistrate.

When Chen Luoluo saw the county magistrate who was over fifty years old, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.

"Madam, Sir, you are back." Shangguan Chu greeted the two and looked at Chen Luoluo with a puzzled look on his face: "Who is this?"

"This is the maid I found for the county magistrate. She can take care of him. After all, you still have to go to the academy, so it will be more convenient to have someone by your side."

Shangguan Chu was moved by Wan Shufang's words. She thanked him with red eyes: "Thank you, Madam. Madam, you are so thoughtful. Ah Chu is flattered."

"No need to thank me, it was Chen Changli who met him." Wan Shufang joked, and Chen Changli took the opportunity to introduce Chen Luoluo. He had already known about Chen Luoluo's tragic life experience on the street.

I hid some useless things and just gave a simple explanation to Shangguan Chu.

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, ma'am." Shangguan Chu bowed to the two of them and expressed her gratitude. Under Chen Changli's gaze, Chen Luoluo also bowed to her and greeted her.

But there was a hint of unwillingness in that expression, and he glared at Shangguan Chu with resentment.

"She is clearly a concubine who should not be seen in public, yet you still call her Madam? Bah." She sneered in her heart. From the beginning to the end, she only thought that Wan Shufang was Chen Changli's favorite concubine.

The three men didn't notice her expression. After a few pleasantries, Wan Shufang stepped forward to examine the county magistrate's health.

After a while, she finally felt relieved and said with a smile, "Ah Chu, don't worry. Your father is in great shape after taking the medicine. I believe he will recover soon."

"Really? That's great, thank you ma'am, without you, I really don't know what I would do."
