Chapter 625

really.

Zheng Yi's path is blocked.

But why?

The Crown Prince believed he was not incapable of judging people poorly. Zheng Yi had a deep friendship with him and had even helped him with many important tasks, which he always handled perfectly. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the two had a relationship similar to that of Guo Ming, which was enough to show Zheng Yi's loyalty.

If that's the case, why the sudden change of attitude?

Seeing that the Crown Prince had stopped speaking, Zheng Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and slowly drank his tea.

The crown prince did not stay at the Zheng family's residence for long.

Seeing that he couldn't rely on Zheng Yi, he got up and left.

Zheng Yi personally saw him off and returned to the backyard, whereupon he breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

He went to the main courtyard without stopping for a moment.

"Sister, you were absolutely right!" Zheng Yi entered the courtyard with a look of lingering fear. "Although His Highness the Crown Prince didn't say anything just now, I think he probably wanted me to go and take charge!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Madam Zheng quickly stood up and said gratefully, "Sister, it's fortunate that you came in advance this time, otherwise, given the Lord's temperament, he might have really agreed!"

Zheng Yi scratched his head guiltily.

In fact, he really thought the Crown Prince was a good person.

He had done a lot for the Crown Prince before, and the Crown Prince had also fulfilled his promises, so the cooperation was quite pleasant.

If it weren't for Madam Zheng's early visit today, which allowed him to see the Crown Prince's true character, he would most likely have agreed.

How could I not feel guilty right now?

Madam Zheng glanced at Zheng Yi and shook her head helplessly: "Do I not know you? But for now, it's good that you can get out of here safely. Don't worry about anything else."

Zheng Yi nodded repeatedly, but then looked conflicted: "But sister, almost everyone in Luoyang City knows about my relationship with the Crown Prince. If I suddenly distance myself from him now, won't people talk about me?"

Zheng glanced at him and said, "What are they saying about you? No matter what they say, you have to be alive to hear it."

"Besides, Dalang has studied hard for so many years. Wouldn't you feel bad if your future was ruined because of you?"

"You know what kind of temperament the Crown Prince's daughter has. If the Crown Prince doesn't discipline her, he'll be indulging her. How can you expect someone like that to arrange everything for you?"

Zheng Yi's last bit of concern was completely dispelled by Zheng's words.

He nodded: "Sister, don't worry, I understand."

Zheng nodded.

Having finished speaking, she prepared to leave.

Zheng Yi and his wife saw her off.

On the way, Madam Zheng couldn't help but ask, "Sister, is the reason why the Marquis's mansion suddenly severed ties with the Crown Prince?"

Not entirely.

Madam Zheng said, "You all know the situation of the Marquis's mansion. My husband is not capable of handling things. The reason why the Marquis's mansion has severed ties with the Crown Prince is because of Zi Rong."

Zheng Yi and his wife exchanged a glance and quickly said, "Yes, Zirong is indeed a good child."

After seeing Zheng Shi off to the door and watching her leave in her carriage, Zheng Yi couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that in the future, our family and my sister should keep in touch."

Although they are from the same family and are nominally siblings, they are not close.

However, after this incident, we will have no choice but to become closer in the future.

Madam Zheng nodded in agreement: "We owe this to you, sister. Please pack your things and make a trip to the Marquis's residence in the next couple of days."

Zheng Yi nodded.
