I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse-Chapter 1801 - 1802: This Child Is Not Bad

Zhang’s face always carried a gentle smile. She turned her head, glanced at you, and asked with a laugh, "Is he called Mu Yun?"

"Yes, this guy is arrogant and disrespectful to the extreme!" Zhen Luo gritted her teeth, as if she wanted to tear you apart.

Who would have thought that Zhang would still be smiling cheerfully, and even said this: "This child, not bad."

"Ah?" Zhen Luo was immediately stupefied. Over the years, from childhood to adulthood, she had never heard Zhang praise anyone. This was absolutely unprecedented!

"Juan’er, I am tired from writing, help me back to my room." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"Oh!" Juan’er hurriedly stepped forward, supporting Zhang into the small courtyard.

Zhen Luo quickly chased after them, speaking in a tone she wouldn’t normally use: "Mother, you absolutely must not be deceived by that guy. If it weren’t for matters at the Zhen Mansion, I wouldn’t have hired him. Once the matters are over, I..."

"Luo’er!" Zhang turned around, and her originally gentle face immediately showed a sharp look, speaking in a tone of authority, "Be cautious with your words!"

Zhen Luo was shocked and immediately lowered her head, meekly saying, "Yes, Mother."

Zhang seemed to suddenly think of something, looking at Zhen Luo, she said: "In the future, as long as it’s your decision, you must fully support it, even if you have doubts, don’t say too much, just do everything according to his wishes."

"But, Mother..." Seeing Zhang’s familiar stern face, Zhen Luo lowered her head and softened again. You must know, before Zhen Luo managed the household, Zhang had been in charge of the Zhen Mansion for over ten years. Back then her methods were brilliant, her actions decisive, even competitors would give her some respect.

After Zhang returned to the house, she didn’t come out again, and Zhen Luo sighed deeply, turning to leave. Zhen Luo turned and left the small courtyard. After a busy day, she was accustomed to taking a bath at this time to wash away the day’s fatigue. Just as she was about to return to her boudoir, she saw a boy of twelve or thirteen running in panic, shouting as he ran, "Second Sister, Second Sister! Not good, Second Brother has been captured!"

Although the incident happened suddenly, Zhen Luo still remained very calm, asking in a deep voice, "Don’t worry, speak slowly. In this Wuji Territory, there aren’t many who would go against our Zhen Family."

"The key is... they, they’re... not locals, they came from the outside!" The boy was panting heavily, his face flushed.

Zhen Luo’s expression changed, she thought to herself "It’s finally here!".

The boy’s face was also bruised, obviously with traces of broken skin, pointing at the injury on his face, he said to Zhen Luo, "Those people are ruthless. My Second Brother and I were just admiring the flowers at the flower market when we accidentally stepped on their foot, and they started punching and kicking us, even when we reported our family name, they completely ignored it. Second Brother was detained, and they want us to bring Two Thousand Gold to ransom him."

"Two Thousand Gold!" In this era, Two Thousand Gold was an enormous sum, Zhen Luo did not expect these people to have such a large appetite.

Recently, the Zhen family caravans had been frequently raided by Mountain Bandits. Even last time when Zhen Luo herself led a caravan, they were attacked, and if it weren’t for you, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Recalling the ferocious appearance of the Mountain Bandit leader, Zhen Luo’s heart still trembled a little.

Initially, Zhen Luo also suspected it to be a competitor’s trickery, but as things progressed, she increasingly felt something was off, so she began to recruit some valiant individuals into the mansion to reinforce the guards, leading to your entry into the mansion scene.

Zhen Luo and the boy arrived at the front hall, she said to the maid beside her, "Little Cui, go and call Li Muyun."

Little Cui had just left when a lower-class man walked in from outside the hall, bowing to Zhen Luo, he said, "Second Miss, a young master outside requests an audience."

"Young Master?" Zhen Luo frowned, replying impatiently, "Not meeting!"

"Refusing this way from a thousand miles away, leaves me truly sorrowful." As he spoke, a handsome man accompanied by two burly lower-class men walked in.

The handsome man before her was someone Zhen Luo had never seen, clearly not a local. Zhen Luo, swallowing her impatience, adjusted her tone, and said respectfully without arrogance, "Young Master, you may know your actions already constitute trespassing."

The handsome man clasped his hands and smiled at Zhen Luo, saying, "Forgive my abruptness, dear lady. I am from Qingzhou..."

"Second Miss! Second Miss!" The Little Cui, initially sent to find you, hurriedly ran over, "Li Muyun is not here, he has gone out with someone."

Zhen Luo had little affection for this handsome young master and paid him no attention, turning to ask Little Cui, "Where has he gone?"

"Ah-Shui said, just as Third Young Master rushed in, Li Muyun went out with someone."

Zhen Luo’s brow twitched, a look of surprise fluttering in her deep eyes. Since your entry into the Zhen Mansion three days ago, you had been making moves constantly. Initially, Zhen Luo even suspected you were cultivating your own force, but through understanding from Zhen Wen, discovered those driven away were all new recruits. On the surface, they seemed stable, but secretly they frequently conversed, as if plotting something. Zhen Wen had already taken notice earlier.

From a broader perspective, Zhen Luo did not fully trust you, but at the moment, there were no capable persons available in the mansion, and you had saved her life, asking nothing in return, so from a personal view, Zhen Luo trusted you deeply. This emotional contradiction caused your shadow to grow deeper in her heart.

"Second Miss, I am Qingzhou’s Cao..."

"Second Miss! Second Miss!" Zhang Shui ran in from outside the hall shouting, without even glancing at the handsome young master and his men, he said breathlessly, "Old, Old Shu has brought Second Young Master back!"

Not only was Zhen Luo stunned, but even the handsome young master was full of surprise. Unlike Zhen Luo, he knew the strength of those dozen or so men; each was someone who had crawled back from the dead, and an ordinary person, even a hundred, couldn’t easily rescue a hostage from them, let alone in such a short time.

Soon, an adolescent’s bright voice sounded from outside the hall: "Old Shu, you were amazing just now! One punch per person, no! Three per punch!"

Before long, Zhen Luo saw her younger brother Zhen Dao bouncing in excitedly. Entering, he shouted to her, "Second Sister, I’m back!"

On the surface, Zhen Dao showed no sign of injury, in fact, he seemed very excited. Zhen Luo silently sighed in relief, adopting a slightly stern tone, she said: "Didn’t I tell you all before, without my permission, you can’t leave recently!"

Zhen Dao feared Zhen Luo. At her stern voice, he started to cower a bit, meekly saying, "My brother and I were just feeling bored. Besides, I came back safely; you should be happy."

"Hmph! Still daring to argue? Both you and Third Brother will be grounded for half a month!"

Zhen Dao didn’t seem afraid of being grounded. Hardly had Zhen Luo finished speaking before he turned to you, exclaiming, "Old Shu, you said you’d teach me martial arts; when do we start?"

It was as if everyone only then focused on you, especially that handsome young master. Seeing your towering figure, he unconsciously took a step back. Simultaneously, he sensed a potential danger from you. At this moment, barely ten steps away, observing you closely, to the handsome man, you seemed less human, more an exceedingly fierce beast. Although you exhibited no overt hostility, a chilling aura enveloped you, akin to the few valiant generals under his father’s command.

"Not just yet, since they’ve already taken action, I don’t need to hide anymore." Saying this, you casually took two lists from your sleeve, handing them to Zhen Luo, "Same as this morning, remove everyone from the list!"

Zhen Luo silently accepted them, looking at you, she asked, "What about those villains?"
