Moreover, when the two assassins charged at the two of them, they died so unluckily.
The more Jiang Zihao thought about it, the more suspicious he felt. He even felt that this mother and son were sent by an assassin organization to steal his things.
He was trying his best not to touch his chest, where the Thousand Year Lotus he had worked so hard to obtain was.
"Miss, where did you orphans and widows come from? Who are you looking for in the capital? If he was a rich man, I, Jiang Zihao, would have recognized him.”
Lu Tang saw Jiang Zihao's vigilant expression and tense body.
The corners of her lips curled up slightly and she ignored him.
"Young Master Jiang might not know about a small family.”
Lu Tang changed her position and closed her eyes to take a nap. She obviously didn't want to talk to Jiang Zihao anymore.
Jiang Zihao could tell that Lu Tang didn't want to talk to him, so he rubbed his nose and said to Yuan Bao," Little guy, why are you so good at this? You know so much about the Five Poison Powder."”
"I read it in a book."
Yuan Bao's childish voice sounded.
"I see. Then you're quite amazing. You've read a lot of books since you were young, right?”
Jiang Zihao asked again.
"Yuan Bao, what did Mother tell you before we left?”
Yuan Bao was about to speak when he heard Lu Tang shout.
The little guy stuck out his tongue." Mother said not to talk to strangers."”
Jiang Zihao was speechless.
Along the way, no matter what Jiang Zihao said, the mother and son didn't respond to him.
Jiang Zihao knew that his cautious and suspicious attitude had offended Lu Tang, so he decided to keep his mouth shut.
The journey to the capital of Great Zhou was very far. According to the speed of this donkey cart, it would take at least three days. However, the Thousand Year Lotus in his arms could not wait. Moreover, staying in the same carriage as this fox-like woman would suffocate him without saying a word.
"There's a small town in front. Young Lady, please drop me off. I'll find a horse and return on my own. Thank you for saving my life, Young Lady. As for the 20,000 gold reward, Young Lady only needs to take the IOU to the General's Estate to retrieve it.”
"Alright."
Lu Tang nodded and did not try to persuade him to stay.
Jiang Zihao was furious. This woman really wasn't a good person. He didn't even take the donkey cart anymore, and the mother and son didn't even ask for less money.
"It must be fate that we met. I have already told you your name. May I ask your name? Perhaps we will meet again in the capital in the future.”
Jiang Zihao cupped his hands and asked before getting off the donkey cart.
At this moment, Lu Tang opened her eyes and looked at Jiang Zihao. She smiled," You want to know my name?”
Jiang Zihao was stunned by Lu Tang's smile. He quickly bit the tip of his tongue to wake himself up. However, he was even more vigilant. Was this woman trying to seduce him with her beauty? Why was it that with just a glance and a smile from her, he felt his head go blank, his heart beat faster, and his entire body felt weak?
Ha…
Fortunately, he had good self-control. Otherwise, he would not have been able to control himself. He asked for this woman's name so that it would be easier to investigate her in the future.
"This Jiang has been rude."
Jiang Zihao said. As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Tang smiled.
"How can a woman's maiden name be casually revealed? That's the right of only the future husband. I've already said it, you're not my type.”
Lu Tang's words made Jiang Zihao's face turn red. He realized that he had been too rude.
In the next moment, Lu Tang suddenly said," My surname is Hao, and my name is Mei. I come from the Hao Clan in the capital of Great Zhou. If Young Master Jiang doesn't mind, you can come to the residence for a cup of tea.”
These words eased Jiang Zihao's awkwardness. He quickly cupped his hands," So it's Miss Hao. Of course, of course."”
He was puzzled. The Hao family? He had never heard of it before, so it probably wasn't a big family.
Lu Tang nodded innocently.
At this moment, Jiang Zihao jumped down from the donkey cart. His body seemed to lose its balance and he fell towards Lu Tang. Lu Tang's eyes flashed slightly and he reached out to help him steady himself. Jiang Zihao's hand brushed past Lu Tang's waist without leaving a trace, thinking that no one would notice.
"Miss Hao, I'm sorry. The poison is still lingering and my body hasn't recovered yet, so I didn't stand properly just now and offended you.”
"It's fine."
Lu Tang said.
"Then we'll meet again."
"Yes."
After Jiang Zihao finished his greetings, he saw Yuan Bao smiling innocently and waving at him cutely. He suddenly felt that he was being too petty. The mother and son looked so honest, but it seemed like they had nothing to do with the two men in black. He was thinking too much.
He shook his hand. There was a jade pendant that he had just pulled from Lu Tang's body to verify his identity.
"Goodbye, Uncle."
Yuan Bao waved at Jiang Zihao.
"Little friend, goodbye."
Jiang Zihao smiled awkwardly and waved his hand before turning around to leave. He didn't return the jade pendant that he stole from Lu Tang.
Yuan Bao only chuckled when his figure faded out of their sight." Mother, this uncle is really stupid. Miss Hao, Hao Mei, good girl, so beautiful…"
Lu Tang walked up to Yuan Bao and gently flicked his forehead. There was a pampering look in her eyes that could not be concealed." You're such a sly fox. Look at what this is.”
Lu Tang squatted down and snapped her fingers in front of Yuan Bao. A wooden box appeared in her hand.
"Mother, what is it?"
Yuan Bao asked.
Lu Tang smiled mysteriously and opened the box.
"Wow…"
Inside the crystal box, a pure white seven-petaled lotus flower with pink stamens quietly bloomed. A fragrance assaulted his senses, refreshing his heart. The water droplets condensed on the tender stamen were bright and glistening.
"Thousand-year-old year-old lotus."
Little Yuan Bao exclaimed and looked at Lu Tang in shock.
Lu Tang smiled and nodded. Her fox-like eyes sparkled." How is it? Mother is amazing, right?"”
"Amazing, amazing. Where did mother get it?”
Yuan Bao blinked and asked." Could it be Uncle Jiang's?"”
Lu Tang nodded." Son, you're so smart. It's that Jiang guy.”
"Mother, did that uncle give it to you?”
Yuan Bao asked.
As he was driving the carriage, he didn't know what was going on in the carriage. When he saw the lotus in front of him, he naturally thought that it was bought by Lu Tang.
Lu Tang's eyes flashed. Yuan Bao didn't know that she was a godly thief, and she didn't plan to say anything more. She nodded and said," Yes, he was grateful for us saving his life, so he gave it to Mother."”
"I see. That Uncle Jiang is really generous. He has already written an IOU of 20,000 gold and even gave us a year-old lotus.”
Hearing Yuan Bao's words, Lu Tang narrowed her eyes. Although she was a godly thief, she had her own set of rules. As the saying goes, even thieves have their own rules. Therefore, she did not steal from innocent people, the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled.
However, Jiang Zihao had broken her rules. She saved his life and gave him a ride, and he paid her 20,000 gold as a reward.
However, this person did not know what was good for him and tried to sow discord between her and Yuan Bao. This was one of the reasons. The second reason was that after he asked for her name, he actually took the opportunity to steal her jade pendant when she fell.
This was a big taboo for her.
Therefore, courtesy should be returned. He stole his jade pendant, so she stole the lotus in his arms. It was fair, even though she bought her jade pendant from a roadside stall when she passed by the market.
"Son, quickly eat it. This thing won't last long..."
