The General's Favorite

Chapter 123 The Prime Minister's Daughter
"No, no need, Daddy, let's go back." Fu Mingzhu just wanted to drag her father away, otherwise, it would be bad for Qu Leping to see her.

Fu Shijie didn't notice Fu Mingzhu's abnormality, "Then let's go home." Fu Shijie hugged Fu Mingzhu to his body, and rode back home.

Fu Mingzhu wanted to look back, worried in her heart what if Qu Leping couldn't see her worry?
But what she didn't know was that among the crowd just now, Qu Leping had long been hiding among them, watching them leave from a distance.

At first glance, he thought that Fu Mingzhu was in danger, so he wanted to go forward, but he heard the woman beside him say, "So this is the daughter of the current prime minister."

Qu Leping's footsteps stopped abruptly.

"Yes, I heard that the prime minister's daughter is named Mingzhu, and she was born as crystal clear as a bright pearl, extremely beautiful." The woman beside her also echoed.

Afterwards, Qu Leping couldn't hear clearly anymore. He looked at Fu Mingzhu's face similar to that official's face. Even if he didn't want to believe it, he couldn't tolerate him anymore.

He tightly grasped the thing in his hand, originally it was to be given to her today, but...
It wasn't until everyone dispersed that Qu Leping slowly walked home.

It turned out that she was the prime minister's daughter, no wonder her upbringing and manners were first-class, she was born so beautiful, she looked like she was born in a noble family.

He should have known earlier, but he naively thought that Fu Mingzhu's family was just an ordinary wealthy family. He originally thought that as long as he worked harder, he would have the courage to tell her his thoughts.

But no matter how hard he tried now, it was difficult to touch her anymore.

Qu Leping returned home listlessly, and Qu's mother looked at Qu Leping in surprise. Didn't Mingzhu follow behind at this time in the past?

Why is there only my son now, and he seems to be very lost.

"Le Ping, what's the matter?" Mother Qu put down the things in her hands and wiped her hands with her bib.

Qu Leping handed the food in his hand to Mother Qu, shook his head and said, "I'm fine." He entered the room and took out from his sleeve what he bought on the street today.

After much deliberation, I decided to pack it up and put it under the pillow.

"Leping, why didn't Mingzhu come back with you today?" Mother Qu asked while eating.

Mingzhu used to go back after eating at home, but she didn't see her today.

Qu Leping's hand paused, and then said: "Mother, don't call that lady a bright pearl in the future."

"Why?" Qu's mother wondered, and Qu's father also looked at Qu Leping with a puzzled expression.

Qu Leping lowered his head and said in a muffled voice: "She is the daughter of the current prime minister, Fu Mingzhu, people like us are not suitable to call her boudoir name."

Mother Qu was so frightened that she dropped her chopsticks on the ground, Father Qu was also shocked.

"Are you serious about what you said?" Mother Qu asked.

Qu Leping nodded solemnly.

No wonder Mingzhu's upbringing is so good, and her birth is also excellent. At that time, she said that she was just an ordinary wealthy family, and she had doubts at that time.

But when I think about it, if there are some high-ranking officials and nobles, they probably won't come to this small courtyard every day to play with their sons.

So slowly, he just treated Fu Mingzhu as an ordinary young lady, but he never expected that she was actually the daughter of the current prime minister.

"From now on—" Mother Qu said halfway, but was stopped by Qu Leping.

"Don't associate with her anymore." After finishing speaking, he put down the bowl and chopsticks and went back to the house.

Qu's mother was puzzled, and looked at Qu's father: "Why? Although she is the prime minister's daughter, it's still okay to play together?"

Father Qu shook his head, "Let's keep in touch less in the future. If you think she's looking for you, then don't talk, and let her think that there is no one at home."

As a father, how could he not know what Qu Leping was thinking, after these months of getting along, every move of Qu Leping was in his eyes.

This boy is afraid that he has some thoughts about what the little girl should not have.

But it is also good to stop the loss in time now, after all, the family situation, I wonder how it is possible to marry his only precious daughter to such a family.

Simply because they are still young, maybe they will forget about it after a while.

In fact, pretending that there is no one at home is not a clear rejection. According to the little girl's door-to-door habit in the past few months, there is no one at home.

But it's good to be clear like this, at least it won't be confusing.

*
The next day, as expected, Fu Mingzhu still came, but this time she knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered.

She called Qu Leping's name and Qu's father and mother at the door, but no one responded.

It will still be the same in a few days, she has no choice but to go to the busy market where Qu Le usually goes and wait for him.

But it still didn't come. On this day, Fu Mingzhu definitely waited at the door for a whole day, and finally let her wait until Qu Leping and Qu's father went out to sell bamboo baskets together.

"Brother Leping, why are you ignoring me these few days?" When Fu Mingzhu saw Qu Leping, all the worries of the past few days dissipated, and there was a bright smile on her face.

Qu Leping looked at Fu Mingzhu with a smile in his eyes, and said distantly: "Miss Fu."

Fu Mingzhu's heart skipped a beat, and she forced a smile and said, "Why did you call me Miss all of a sudden? Didn't you call me Mingzhu after you said that? Didn't it work fine before?"

"Uncle Qu" Fu Mingzhu looked at Qu's father behind Qu Leping again.

Father Qu sighed, shook his head, and then heard Qu Leping say: "Miss Fu is joking, how can we Pingming call Miss Fu by her boudoir name, Miss Fu should not come here again, in case If something happens, the prime minister will be worried."

Fu Mingzhu was stunned. Sure enough, Qu Leping still saw it that day, so she couldn't find Qu Leping these days, and they didn't open the door when they came home.

"Brother Leping, you, you know everything?" Fu Mingzhu was thinking about how to explain this matter to Qu Leping. She really didn't intend to hide her true identity.

"Miss Fu, go back quickly, and don't come here again." Qu Leping dragged his father forward, walking very fast, as if deliberately preventing Fu Mingzhu from following.

Fu Mingzhu chased them a long way, but lost them when they reached the crowd.

Fu Mingzhu's eyes were full of tears, Qu Leping must be angry, that's why she didn't want to see her, Fu Mingzhu thought about buying some gifts for Qu Leping to apologize.

After that, Fu Mingzhu came to Qu Leping's residence again, but was still blocked by the door.

She knocked on the door outside for a long time, but there was still no response, and she left disappointed.

It was still like this for several days, she knew that Qu Leping was unusually angry, but she couldn't figure out why.
