Chapter 111 1 piece of clothing

He took a deep breath and tried to make his tone sound calmer.

"Forget it, considering this is your first offense and your circumstances are extenuating, I'll let you go this time."

After saying that, Lu Ming took out a silver ingot from his pocket and handed it to the refugee.

"Take this money and go find an inn to eat something and take a rest. Although the world is difficult, people must survive and there is always hope."

The refugee stood there in a daze, looking at the silver in his hand, tears glistening in his eyes.

His voice trembled as he thanked him over and over again: "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir..."

Seeing this, Su Qiaoer hurried forward and took out some dry food and water from her bag and handed them to the refugees.

"Take these too, and be careful on the road."

The refugees were filled with gratitude and bowed repeatedly to express their gratitude before staggering away.

Lu Ming looked at the refugees' receding backs, feeling mixed emotions.

"I don't know when this world will be at peace, and when the people will be able to live and work in peace and contentment."

Su Qiaoer gently held his hand and comforted him softly, "Minglang, you have done very well. At least here, under your protection, the people are living well."

Lu Ming turned his head and looked into Su Qiaoer's eyes that were full of trust, and the haze in his heart immediately dissipated a lot.

"Qiao'er, you are right. As long as there is hope, there are endless possibilities."

The two smiled at each other and held each other's hands tightly, as if holding the hope for the future.

"Minglang, although it's getting late, the clothing stores in town should still be open. Let's go look at some clothes."

Su Qiaoer suggested, her words revealing a hint of anticipation and excitement.

Lu Ming smiled slightly and nodded.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. But you're heavy, so you have to be careful not to tire yourself out."

As he spoke, he gently put his arm around Su Qiaoer's waist, and the two of them slowly walked towards the clothing store in town.

It was late at night and the streets in the town seemed a little deserted, but the lanterns on both sides stretched their shadows long, making the town look particularly warm.

The clothing store was brightly lit, with all kinds of clothes hanging on the walls, colorful and dazzling.

As Su Qiaoer walked into the store, her eyes lit up.

She moved between the clothes racks, picking up a piece of clothing from time to time to try it on herself, with a happy smile on her face.

Lu Ming followed behind her, looking at her gently as if he was looking at a treasure.

"Minglang, how do you think I look in this?"

Su Qiaoer picked up a light pink dress and tried it on herself.

Lu Ming nodded and praised with a smile: "It looks good. You look good in anything you wear."

As soon as he finished speaking, a discordant voice suddenly rang out.

"Hey, isn't this Lord Lu? What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet him here."

Lu Ming and Su Qiaoer turned around and saw a woman in luxurious clothes walking slowly into the store with several maids.

The woman was beautiful, but her eyes revealed arrogance and disdain.

Su Qiaoer frowned slightly. She remembered this woman. She was Lin Wanqing's cousin. She always acted superior and looked down on everyone.

"It turns out to be Miss Lin."

Lu Ming greeted her lightly and wanted to continue accompanying Su Qiaoer to choose clothes.

But Lin Wan'er obviously did not intend to give up.

She glanced at the pink dress in Su Qiaoer's hand, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Hey, isn't this Sister Qiao'er? I heard that you are now Master Lu's concubine? Congratulations."

There was a hint of sarcasm in her words, which made Su Qiaoer's expression change slightly.

But Lu Ming was one step faster than her. He looked at Lin Wan'er coldly, his voice low and powerful.

"Miss Lin, please respect yourself. My wife is not someone you can talk about casually."

There was a hint of majesty and warning in his tone, which made Lin Wan'er's face freeze.

But Lin Wan'er quickly recovered her composure and curled her lips in disdain.

"Hmph, Lord Lu, don't take it too seriously. I was just talking."

As she spoke, she turned and walked to the clothes rack, picking up a red dress at random.

"Boss, I want this dress."

The shopkeeper nodded and bowed quickly in response, and had the dress packed up.

Lin Wan'er glanced at the pink dress in Su Qiao'er's hand, and a hint of provocation flashed in her eyes.

"And this one, I want it too."

Su Qiaoer frowned slightly when she heard this, but soon regained her composure.

She didn't want to argue with Lin Wan'er about these meaningless things.

However, Lu Ming looked at Lin Wan'er with some displeasure.

"Ms. Lin, everything has a first come first served basis. My wife was the first to see this dress."

Upon hearing this, Lin Wan'er rolled her eyes in disdain.

"So what? There's nothing I can't get that I want."

As she spoke, she signaled the maid to come forward and snatch the dress from Su Qiaoer's hand.

Seeing this, a cold light flashed in Lu Ming's eyes. He stepped forward quickly and grabbed the maid's wrist.

"I wonder who dares to touch my wife's things!"

His voice was deep and powerful, revealing an unquestionable majesty.

The maid was so frightened that her face turned pale and she quickly let go of her hand.

Lin Wan'er was also shocked by Lu Ming's aura and was a little at a loss for a moment.

But she quickly regained her composure and glared at Lu Ming.

"Sir, how dare you treat me like this!"

Lu Ming looked at her coldly, his voice firm and powerful.

"Ms. Lin, please remember, this is my territory. It's not your turn to act wildly here."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Su Qiaoer, and his tone instantly softened.

"Qiao'er, let's go."

As he said that, he put his arm around Su Qiaoer's waist and strode out of the clothing store.

Lin Wan'er looked at the two people's departing backs, and a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes.

"Lu Ming, just wait for me! I won't let you go!"

Lu Ming and Su Qiaoer didn't take this little episode to heart. They continued to visit the shops in the town and pick out the items they needed.

It was not until nightfall that the two returned with a full load.

After returning to the mansion, Lu Ming settled Su Qiaoer down and went to the study to handle official business.

Su Qiaoer sat in front of the window, staring at the moonlight outside in a daze.

"Sister Qiao'er, why are you sitting here alone?"

Xiaohong walked into the house with hot tea and asked as she looked at Su Qiaoer's back.

Su Qiaoer came back to her senses and smiled slightly.

"Nothing, just remembered what happened today."

She told Xiaohong about her encounter with Lin Wan'er in the garment shop today.

After hearing this, Xiaohong said indignantly, "That Miss Lin is really too much! How dare she treat me like this!"

Su Qiaoer smiled faintly and shook her head.

"Forget it, it's just a piece of clothing, there's no need to bother with her."

There was a sense of open-mindedness and tolerance in her words, which made Xiaohong look at her with admiration.

"Sister Qiao'er, you are so kind."

Su Qiaoer gently patted the back of Xiaohong's hand and said softly, "Okay, don't be angry, let's go and rest."

The two smiled at each other and walked towards the bed together.
