Moonlit Calamity: The Dragon Girl's Life of Idleness is Broken

Chapter 180 Attending the Cheng Family Wedding Banquet

On the carriage.

Nangong Ming said slightly embarrassedly, "Is my mother being too enthusiastic? Please don't mind her!"

"Care? Not at all!" Long Chuqing smiled faintly. "I think your mother's personality is quite adorable."

“My mother has a very simple personality. She usually just eats and drinks when she has nothing to do, and goes out for a while when she gets bored.”

"Isn't that great! You like to travel, which is quite similar to me. I also like to travel around and be free," Long Chuqing said with a faint smile.

After hearing Long Chuqing's words, Nangong Ming's curiosity was piqued.

He stared at Long Chuqing: "I'm really curious about who you are. Also, if I remember correctly, they said you were covered in injuries and unconscious when you fell into the backyard of Yuexi Tower. What happened?"

Long Chuqing pursed her lips and thought for a moment before replying, "I am who I am! Who else could I be? As for falling into Yuexi Tower, I was being chased by a group of people and was ambushed and seriously injured. When I was escaping from the roof, I lost too much blood and slipped and fell. That's what happened."

After hearing this, Nangong Ming asked curiously again, "Being chased by a group of people? Did you offend someone or some organization?"

Long Chuqing said dismissively, "It's a very mysterious organization, and it's extremely powerful. I don't know how I offended them, and I find it very puzzling."

"Then why aren't they causing you trouble now?" Nangong Ming thought for a moment and continued, "Could it be that His Highness Prince Qin stepped in to help you settle things?"

“It has nothing to do with him.” Long Chuqing glanced at him, deciding to come up with an excuse to avoid him pressing her for an answer: “Anyway, they won’t bother me anymore.”

"Suspicious." Even after hearing Long Chuqing's words, Nangong Ming still looked at her with suspicion.

"Why are you looking at me like that! If you're worried about getting into trouble by getting close to me, just stay away from me in the future."

Nangong Ming crossed his arms and leaned back against the carriage, saying in a relaxed tone, "I, Nangong Ming, have been in the business world for many years and have never been afraid of anything!"

Long Chuqing shook her head gently, sighed, and murmured, "Young...it's obvious they haven't experienced the darkness of society."

A brief silence fell inside the carriage. At this moment, Long Chuqing remembered that he had injured him during the martial arts competition a few days ago and asked, "By the way, is your injury any better?"

Nangong Ming was taken aback at first, then realized what he meant. He frowned slightly and said, "It would have been better if you hadn't mentioned it. Now that you've brought it up, the kick you gave me still hurts a bit." He rubbed his stomach.

"Why don't you take a look at me first?" With that, he walked over and sat down next to Long Chuqing, then stretched out his hand in front of her and rolled up his sleeve.

"Actually, I was just asking politely. Seeing how energetic you are, I'm sure you're alright."

"I've already rolled up my sleeves, so at least take my pulse!"

Long Chuqing glanced at his wrist and said with a hint of mockery, "Aren't you afraid I'll diagnose you with symptoms of excessive liver fire?"

After hearing this, Nangong Ming said sullenly, "What's there to be afraid of? The weather is dry in winter, so it's normal to have excessive liver fire."

After he finished speaking, he looked slightly smug and thought to himself, "I won't blush with embarrassment like I did last time after hearing your teasing words!"

You have to understand that he's someone who's been involved in all sorts of business dealings, and he's also run so many brothels; he's seen it all.

“What you said is not wrong.” Long Chuqing placed her fingers on his pulse and carefully examined him, finding that the internal injuries he suffered that day had not yet fully healed.

She turned around, took a bottle of medicine from the medicine box, and handed it to him. "This medicine is for internal injuries. Take it twice a day. You can take one pill now."

Nangong Ming took the bottle, glanced at it, then opened the cap, poured out a pill, and swallowed it without hesitation.

"Ha...you're not afraid of being poisoned."

Nangong Ming smiled and said nonchalantly, "I'd accept dying at Miss Long's hands."

Long Chuqing rolled her eyes at him.

"Do you want to attend the banquet first, or do you want to go and examine the second young master first?"

Long Chuqing glared at him: "The fact that you can ask these two questions shows that you don't really care about the Second Young Master's illness! You were in such a hurry to drag me here just now."

"Hey... don't say that, I'm just worried you'll go hungry!"

The Nangong residence was not far from the Cheng residence; it was a quick trip by carriage.

Outside the carriage, there was a great deal of noise. Long Chuqing lifted the carriage curtain and looked out. She saw a long row of banquet tables set up under the wall of the Cheng family mansion, and many people had already taken their seats.

Because there were many guests coming and going at the gate, the carriage stopped next to the gate.

Nangong Ming got off the carriage first. He turned around and reached out to help Long Chuqing, but Long Chuqing glanced at him, ignored him, and jumped off the carriage.

Nangong Ming could only reluctantly withdraw his hand, "You really don't understand romance."

Now, Master Cheng and his family are welcoming guests at the gate of the mansion, creating a lively scene.

Even if they didn't receive an invitation, people who came to the banquet would still go to the door and say a few auspicious words of blessing to the host.

When Master Cheng saw Nangong Ming approaching, he quickly stepped forward and greeted him warmly, "Oh, Young Master Nangong, you've arrived! Welcome, welcome!"

Nangong Ming stepped forward, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said with a smile, "Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations on your marriage, Second Young Master."

Long Chuqing walked beside Nangong Ming. She observed him carefully and noticed that although Master Cheng had a bright smile on his face, there was a hint of helpless bitterness hidden beneath the smile.

The lady standing beside him was presumably the second young master's mother. Although she had a smile on her face, it was obvious that she was forcing it.

Liu Yu then presented gifts, to which Nangong Ming replied, "I have prepared a small gift; please do not find it offensive, Third Master."

"Young master, you're too kind. My humble abode has prepared some food and wine. Please come in..." Master Cheng gestured for him to enter.

“Oh, wait a minute…” Nangong Ming looked at Long Chuqing beside him and introduced her, “This young lady is a friend of mine. She heard that I was coming to your mansion to attend a wedding banquet today, so she came along to share in the joy.”

Master Cheng smiled and said, "Oh, good, good... all guests are welcome, everyone is welcome."

After learning about the second young master's situation from the old lady, Long Chuqing really didn't know what kind of blessing to offer.

Given the current uncertain situation, it's impossible to utter words like "Happy Wedding," "May you grow old together," and "May you have many children." If they heard these words and thought of the Second Young Master's current circumstances, wouldn't they feel even more heartbroken?

"Congratulations on your marriage, Second Young Master, and congratulations on the new wife, Third Master."

"Okay, thank you. Please come in, both of you..."
