Male Lead, The Black-Hearted Lotus (Female-dominant)

Chapter 11

"Cha'er, you've been ignoring me these past few days."

Qian Mu's face was full of grievance as she reached out, wanting to embrace Xu Lu Cha.

Xu Lu Cha avoided her imperceptibly. He pinched his handkerchief and said worriedly, "Lu Cha just wanted to test your intentions. I didn't expect you to take a liking to another man so quickly." Qian Mu hurriedly spoke, "My feelings for you are as clear as day. It's all that Xiao Chou's fault, he seduced me. But I have no feelings for him at all." Xu Lu Cha laughed coldly in his heart, but his face wore a shy expression, "I only hope you won't let Lu Cha down." Disgusting.

This kind of woman was lustful and stupid, simply useless, yet she thought herself graceful and dignified.

Xu Lu Cha frowned in disgust. After accompanying her for half a day, he felt like he was about to vomit up yesterday's meal.

If it weren't for that old hag valuing and fearing her, he would have wished to have nothing to do with her for the rest of his life.

The street vendors were shouting their wares, noisy and clamorous.

Xu Lu Cha stepped on and broke a piece of jewelry placed by his feet.

"What are you doing!" the stall owner shouted.

Xu Lu Cha saw that the stall owner was dressed in coarse cloth, with dark skin and an ugly face, and felt utterly disgusted.

The stall owner glared angrily, "You broke my things, pay for them!" Xu Lu Cha took out a silver ingot from his money pouch and threw it in front of the stall owner.

The stall owner caught the silver, his anger mostly dissipating. Though he had a fiery temper, he was an honest person. He took out a few copper coins from his sleeve: "Here's your change. In the future, watch where you're walking..." Xu Lu Cha didn't even glance at him and turned to leave.

The stall owner could only take back the copper coins. What he didn't expect was that two days later, his hands would break out in countless dense blisters, itching unbearably.

"Constable Zhang."

When Lin Hao opened the door and saw the person with a sword at their waist, he hurriedly hid his blistered hands behind his back, trying not to be obvious.

Zhang Meng smiled and nodded at him, "Why haven't I seen you setting up your stall these past few days?" Lin Hao's dark face reddened slightly, and he said in a low voice, "I've been feeling a bit unwell." Zhang Meng: "You should take care of your health. Even living alone, you need to learn to look after yourself." Zhang Meng had quite good relationships with people. Even Lin Hao, known for his fierce temper in the city, was very obedient and gentle when he saw her.

In fact, her main reason for visiting Lin Hao this time was to buy some jewelry. Jin Yue would soon be returning to the yamen to see her, and Zhang Meng felt very guilty for not attending her wedding ceremony. Zhang Meng wanted to buy a set of jewelry as a gift for Jin Yue and her husband, as a way of expressing her blessings. After some thought, she felt that Lin Hao's jewelry was more exquisite and reliable.

Zhang Meng explained her intentions to Lin Hao, who immediately went to the inner room to bring out boxes of jewelry.

Zhang Meng inadvertently saw his hands and was startled, goosebumps rising all over her body.

"Lin Hao, your hands..."

Lin Hao froze, hurriedly hiding his hands behind his back.

...

Xu Mansion.

"Young Master Xu, two days ago, did you compensate Lin Hao, the jewelry seller, with silver?" Zhang Meng unfolded a piece of paper, revealing a silver ingot lying quietly on it.

Xu Lu Cha looked at the silver ingot on the paper and nodded, "Yes."

Zhang Meng had thought he would deny it. She had even found witnesses. Seeing him admit it so frankly, she only paused briefly before continuing, "Do you know that Lin Hao was poisoned after touching your silver?"

Xu Lu Cha's face showed an innocent and surprised expression, "Poisoned?"

Zhang Meng said, "I had a doctor examine this silver ingot. It was coated with poison."

Xu Lu Cha apologetically said, "I took the wrong silver. These poisoned silver ingots were meant for robbers... I'm willing to apologize to Master Lin and provide the antidote."

Zhang Meng: "That's good."

After Zhang Meng left with the antidote, Xu Lu Cha snorted contemptuously.

Disgusting ugly man, just wait for those equally disgusting hands to rot off.

Zi Yi followed behind him and anxiously spoke, "Young Master, that poison originally had no antidote. It would have gotten better in a few days. Why did you give Constable Zhang a so-called 'antidote'?"

Xu Lu Cha: "If you anger me, don't think you can easily get away."

...

Zhang Meng looked at the antidote in her hand, frowning with concern. She finally decided to have the doctor examine the antidote. Even after the doctor said there was no problem, Zhang Meng still felt uneasy.

Although she had no prejudice against Xu Lu Cha, because everyone has their own way of living, even if he flattered the rich and bullied the poor, or schemed constantly, as long as he didn't harm others, she wouldn't do anything to him.

But she couldn't help but be wary of him.
