Chapter 113 Extreme Regret

In front of two sticks of incense.

Chunzhi followed the maid from the princess's mansion here to change clothes.

She was not used to undressing in front of the maid, and even less used to having strangers help her put on her clothes, so she asked the maid from the princess's mansion to wait outside the door while she changed her clothes in the room.

These gorgeous clothes were a bit troublesome to put on. Chunzhi spent a long time in the room before she was dressed properly. When she was about to open the door and go out, Lu Jingyun pushed the door open and walked in.

"Haruji..."

Lu Jingyun seemed to have drunk a little too much, his face was flushed and abnormal.

Chunzhi couldn't help but frown when she saw him. She wanted to call someone, but found that the maid who was guarding outside the door had disappeared. Seeing this, she was about to walk around Lu Jingyun and go out.

But Lu Jingyun not only stopped her, but also closed the door.

Seeing she couldn't leave, Chunzhi couldn't help but shout angrily, "Lu Jingyun, you're married, and I'm married, so we're meant to meet without knowing each other. What on earth do you want to do by acting like this in Princess Anyang's mansion?"

"I just want to talk to you... Chunzhi." Lu Jingyun staggered towards Chunzhi, "Don't be angry, I just miss you so much and want to talk to you."

"Stop!" Chunzhi retreated repeatedly and shouted coldly, "You're drunk! We've already made it clear what we wanted to say. Now we should just be friends. Stop wasting time!"

Chunzhi just wanted to get out quickly.

Now she is about to become Huo Zheng's Princess Chang'an, and Lu Jingyun is the son-in-law of the Prime Minister's Mansion. The ten years they spent in Linshui Town have long disappeared.

Lu Jingyun should have cherished the high road he had climbed when he chose to marry Ji Ruzhen, but now he didn't know what he had done and came to her again and again to cause trouble.

"I regret it, Chunzhi." Lu Jingyun strode towards Chunzhi and hugged her, "I regretted it a long time ago..."

Chunzhi gritted her teeth and pushed him away. "What were you doing earlier? Now you come to tell me you regret it, Lu Jingyun. I'm telling you, even if you regret it, keep it to yourself and don't tell me!"

Lu Jingyun was pushed by her and staggered, bumping into the screen beside him, which hurt him a lot.

When Chunzhi was making and selling tofu, she had to carry the tofu bags and push the cart by herself, and she needed much more strength than an ordinary woman.

A scholar like Lu Jingyun, who had drunk too much, almost stumbled and fell to the ground after bumping into the screen.

Chunzhi wanted to call for help, but she was afraid that someone would see her and Lu Jingyun in the same room and that bad gossip would spread.

She left Lu Jingyun and walked out.

Lu Jingyun, however, chased after her closely, using his body to press against the door to prevent Chunzhi from leaving. He looked at her with red eyes and said, "Do you know how I've been living these days?"

Chunzhi frowned and said, "I don't know, and I don't want to know. Lu Jingyun, get out of my way!"

"Chunzhi, you're so cruel!" Lu Jingyun's eyes were red. "Ever since you jumped into the river, I've lost my appetite and can't sleep at night. I even - I even attacked the Prince of Chang'an. I regret it so much. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have become the top scholar and would have returned to Linshui Town to sell tofu with you..."

When Lu Jingyun left home, Chunzhi told him that it would be best if he passed the exam, but it didn't matter if he failed, as she would support him for the rest of his life by selling tofu.

When she said this, she meant it.

Unfortunately, at that time, Lu Jingyun didn't care about being supported by a tofu seller. He climbed up the ladder of the Prime Minister's Mansion and now he keeps saying that he regrets it.

"Lu Jingyun." Chunzhi said sternly, "There is no medicine for regret in the world. Even if you regret it, don't bother me."

"Haruji..."

Lu Jingyun shed a tear and wanted to say something else, but Chunzhi's patience was exhausted. She pushed him away and was about to walk out.

Lu Jingyun reached out to hug her, but Chunzhi raised her hand and slapped Lu Jingyun.

The slap was so powerful that Lu Jingyun hit his head against the door and fainted on the spot.

Chunzhi was shocked when she saw Lu Jingyun fall to the ground. She reached out to check Lu Jingyun's breath.

fine.

Still breathing.

Chunzhi dragged Lu Jingyun to the bed. He was lying on the couch, reeking of alcohol. Others would just think he was drunk and resting there. No one knew he was knocked unconscious by her.

Even after Lu Jingyun woke up, he didn't have the face to tell anyone the truth.

Thinking this, she put the man on the bed and turned to leave. When she passed the window, she suddenly saw a bamboo tube coming in and a wisp of smoke coming out.

Seeing this, Chunzhi immediately inhaled and blew deeply into the bamboo tube, blowing all the smoke to the other end.

The man outside the window who was blowing smoke towards the house choked on a large puff of smoke and fell down. Chunzhi opened the window and bumped into Wang Yiyue who was standing outside the window.

Wang Yiyue was shocked and turned away.

"Stop right there!" Chunzhi saw that the person lying on the ground was a maid, so she immediately opened the door and went out to chase Wang Yiyue.

Wang Yiyue ran in panic, and when she passed the corner, someone hit her with a flowerpot and knocked her unconscious on the spot.

Chunzhi walked over and looked, and asked in surprise: "Yuzhu... why are you here?"

Yuzhu said, "After I left Linshui Town, I wandered around and finally came to the capital. Fortunately, the eldest princess took me in and I became a maid in her mansion."

"I'm so glad you're okay." Chunzhi was sincerely happy for Yuzhu.

She was a little surprised when she hit Wang Yiyue with a flowerpot. "What are you doing?"

Yuzhu said, "I saw my sister leave the table and originally came here to look for her. On the way here, I saw the master and servant acting suspiciously, so I followed them..."

Yuzhu saw Wang Yiyue and her servant blowing smoke into the house. It was too late to call for help. No one person could hold them down, so she thought of knocking one of them unconscious with a flowerpot.

But Chunzhi was so alert that she knocked one down directly and ran out to chase Wang Yiyue.

Yuzhu didn't know how hard to strike. She squatted down and looked at Wang Yiyue's head. There were no obvious wounds or bleeding. She reached out and found that she was still breathing. "She just fainted from the blow I gave her. She should be fine. I'll report to the princess."

"Wait." Chunzhi thought about it and realized that Wang Yiyue and her servant put the smoke into the room because they knew that she and Lu Jingyun were in the room.

These two people wanted to frame her and Lu Jingyun, and their intentions are despicable.

In that case, don't blame her for treating others in their own way.

Chunzhi said, "Get Wang Yiyue into the house as well."

Yuzhu met Chunzhi's gaze and immediately understood what she was going to do.

"Okay." Yuzhu nodded and said yes. Together with Chunzhi, she carried Wang Yiyue into the house and put her on the couch, not forgetting to mess up their clothes.

Chunzhi decided to wait and see what would happen next, and took Yuzhu into the back room.

While paying attention to the movements outside, the two talked about what they had encountered during the days they were apart.

Let’s wait for the show to begin.
