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...
Chapter 186 Resentment
Zhu Huaizhen said "oh" with an indifferent look.
It doesn’t matter what Chen Mingan explains.
"By the way, Zhao Lian'er, your well-intentioned grandfather has just agreed to marry you to the Emperor of Northern Zhou. Before that, he will use you to entertain the young men of the clan and complete the pre-wedding ceremony." Zhu Huaizhen said slowly.
"Zhenzhen, I have no grudge against you. Why do you always blame me for Concubine Xue's death? I believe that my grandfather would not treat me like this. After all, I am Brother Ming'an's wife. Then, there is only one possibility. My grandfather did not agree with you harming me like this, so I suffered at your hands..." Zhao Lian'er raised her head slightly, her eyes blurred with tears.
The second son of the head of the Lanling Xiao family was enjoying the fun and made two clicks of the tongue.
To put it bluntly, Zhao Lian'er's crying was so beautiful that I felt pity for her.
"Zhenzhen, did you order Lou Li to kill the head of the Bai family?" Chen Ming'an asked in a low voice, his face full of disappointment.
"I killed him." The second son of the Lanling Xiao family's head smiled slightly, his smile was evil and wild.
"Why?" Chen Mingan asked in a cold tone.
Chen Mingan will show no mercy to outsiders.
"He just doesn't like her. Patriarch Bai said that he wants ten thousand taels of gold and a one-night stand with Princess Ronghua before he lets Princess Rongyang go." The second son of the head of Lanling Xiao family was half laughing when he was caught off guard by Lou Li. His black hair was scattered in several strands, and he looked a little embarrassed.
Lou Li was blaming the second son of the head of the Lanling Xiao family for telling lies and tarnishing Zhu Huaizhen's innocence.
"Zhenzhen, I'm sorry. I didn't know that the head of the Bai family was so terrible inside." Chen Ming'an stuttered slightly.
"Zhenzhen, even if grandpa was wrong, you still have Lou Li and Tu Mi. You don't have to be afraid of him at all. Why should you kill him?" Zhao Lian'er sobbed.
After hearing this, Chen Mingan came to his senses instantly.
The death of the head of the Bai family is related to Zhu Huaizhen, and Zhu Huaizhen is not innocent.
"Princess Ronghua, do you want to continue the deal with Patriarch Bai? If not, I'll be a witness some other day." The second son of the head of the Lanling Xiao family yawned deliberately.
In fact, before the next emperor of Southern Chu was chosen, the second son of the head of the Lanling Xiao family really did not sleep well.
What kind of deal? Zhu Huaizhen was confused for a moment before he understood.
The second son of the Lanling Xiao clan's head, Zhu Huaizhen, had to protect his reputation in front of Chen Ming'an, the heir apparent of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion. As the saying goes, leave a way out for the future.
Although Zhu Huaizhen felt that it didn't matter whether she and Chen Mingan met or not, but since the second son of the head of the Lanling Xiao family had sent her a pillow, how could she not doze off?
"Then continue." Zhu Huaizhen gave Tu Mi a wink.
Tu Mi immediately understood what was going on, and used her Ghostly Steps to float behind Chen Ming'an and pressed Chen Ming'an's acupoints, making him unable to move.
"Zhao Lian'er, Patriarch Bai begged me to make a deal. In order to save my elder sister, I agreed to everything." Zhu Huaizhen pretended to be helpless.
Haha, when it comes to acting, everyone can act.
Zhu Huaizhen is probably just too lazy to act sometimes.
"Zhenzhen, what are you going to do!" Zhao Lian'er raised her voice unconsciously, her body trembling.
She should be trembling, Chen Mingan can't protect her.
"Zhenzhen, don't let me hate you!" Zhao Lian'er was still crying, tears streaming down her face.
Zhu Huaizhen knew that Zhao Lian'er was crying for Chen Ming'an to see.
"Zhenzhen, Lian'er is right, don't let me resent you." Chen Ming'an's face was gloomy.
