Watching Him Rise Up

Chen Ming'an was the Imperial Scholar whom Princess Ronghua, Zhu Huaizhen, had set her eyes on in the Golden Imperial Hall.

However, he refused the bestowed marriage, saying, "Your Hi...

"Mercury soup?" Zhu Huaizhen said gritting his teeth.

She knew she shouldn't be angry.

Southern Chu played a role in destroying Southern Wu.

But she still couldn't help it.

In Southern Wu, although every household doted on their daughters, few of them became officials, instead opting for small businesses. Therefore, it took a lot of effort for the eldest sister, Zhu Huaishu, to gain access to the imperial court, relying on her status as the Princess of Rongyang. Of course, this was also fueled by her own daughter, Zhu Huaizhen.

As a result, in Southern Chu, the status of women was like hell on earth.

Mercury soup can prevent pregnancy, but it is extremely harmful to women.

Especially the first child, most of them are born with a weak constitution.

So is Zhao Lian'er, and so is Bai Chenfei.

However, the eldest sister, who had been raised by A Niang for some time, was strong and healthy, and her physique was even better than Zhu Huaizhen's.

"By the way, there doesn't seem to be any sickly men in Nanchu." Zhu Huaizhen murmured.

"There is an eternal custom in Nanchu that the first child must be a girl." Lou Li raised his lips in a sarcastic smile.

That’s right, Taohua said that if the mother has a weak constitution, it is more likely to give birth to a daughter.

"Zhen'er, let's go back." Lou Li saw a girl from Nanchu wearing a double-sided jade veil hesitantly enter the Guanyin Tower and was about to pull Zhu Huaizhen away.

Lou Li discovered that Zhu Huaizhen had little ambition but great love.

He is not a good person, so he doesn't want Zhu Huaizhen to show her great love.

By that time, how much love could Zhu Huaizhen still leave for him?

However, as soon as the girl stepped into the Guanyin Tower, she let out a shrill scream.

Zhu Huaizhen couldn't stand it and walked in without saying a word.

"Zhen'er, can you handle it by yourself?" Lou Li rubbed his forehead.

After saying this, Zhu Huaizhen stood on tiptoe, put his arms around Lou Li's neck, pecked her lips lightly, smiled sweetly, and his grape eyes were clear and bright: "A-Li, can you help me?"

Lou Li knew that Zhu Huai was really good at being clever.

However, he had to help, and no one could touch his true child.

So, Zhu Huaizhen swaggered into Guanyin Tower, and Lou Li followed closely behind.

The girl's spotless white dress was torn and stained with dirt. Several burly men surrounded her, teasing and flirting with her as she cried helplessly.

Every girl from Nanchu will reach this point, then despair and numbness.

"Ali, take action." Zhu Huaizhen smiled like a flower, his eyes moving.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lou Li used his Ghostly Steps skill to pull out the soft sword from the jade belt tied around his waist, and actually wrapped it around the necks of these men, strangling them to death on the spot.

"A Li, there is no need to kill them. They didn't commit a capital crime, and there is still the law." Zhu Huaizhen curled his lips, looking unhappy, but he didn't want to blame Lou Li.

Lou Li subconsciously wanted to explain, but finally gave up.

Lou Li knew that if he only saved the girl from those men, she would still be harmed by other men. This was an unwritten rule in Nanchu, and the girl was too weak to resist.

Now, he killed those men.

Other men will be afraid and will not attack young girls, otherwise their lives will be in danger.

Zhu Huaizhen was a smart man. He reacted quickly and smiled embarrassedly at Lou Li.

"My dear, my name is Lin Xiangxiang. I live by Ziyang Lake. I am grateful to you for saving me. I have no way to repay you but to give myself to you." The girl cried like a pear blossom in the rain, and her delicate charm was quite similar to that of Zhao Lian'er, which made Zhu Huaizhen unhappy.
