Chapter 23 Knowing Him So Well

Recalling the tragic death in the cold palace in her previous life, Zhu Yingyan's eyes were full of hatred.

Did she really want to marry Xiao Jingzhan for Zhu Xuntao just because of Xiao Jingzhan's single-minded love for Zhu Xuntao?

After living a new life, she saw it more clearly than anyone else that the prince was just lucky to be the emperor's son.

In terms of ability, the prince was completely inferior to Xiao Jingzhan.

In his previous life, without Xiao Jingzhan's assistance, how could the prince have won over other princes and ascended the throne.

In other words, if she made the prince lose Xiao Jingzhan, the biggest helper in this life, then no man would be able to keep the position of prince, let alone the emperor in this life.

That man has ruined her life, can she let him go in this life and watch him enjoy wealth and prosperity?!

In short, no one can stop her from doing what she wants. If

her mother is willing to help her, she will let her mother enjoy her

old age. If her mother is not willing, then she can only wish for the best for the rest of her life.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yingyan left with a cold face.

Zhu Yingyan and Madam Sun parted on bad terms. The atmosphere between Zhu Xuntao and Xiao Jingzhan was also not very good. Especially when Zhu Xuntao looked at Xiao Jingzhan, her eyes, which rarely showed emotions, were now burning with anger:

"I need an explanation."

Xiao Jingzhan put one hand behind his back: "The Emperor and the Empress have arranged a marriage."

Zhu Xuntao almost flew into a rage: "What kind of marriage is arranged by the Emperor and the Empress? Didn't you hear what the eunuch said just now? Whether it's the Emperor or the Empress, how can they know who I, Zhu Xuntao, am?"

When she spoke at the end, Zhu Xuntao's tone was full of self-mockery.

In order to let Zhu Yingyan shine, her stepmother never let her show herself in front of others.

Whenever someone asked her about it, her stepmother would belittle her for not knowing manners and for fear of embarrassment, so she only brought her outstanding eldest daughter with her.

There was no need for others to throw dirty water on her, just these were enough to ruin her reputation.

So, even if she had an engagement with Xiao Jingzhan, she could call the Empress Aunt when she saw her, but she was the Empress Aunt who had never met her fiancé.

Since the Emperor and the Empress didn't know who she was, how could they give her a marriage?

This lying still requires some skills.

Thinking of the harm of Zhu Yingyan, Xiao Jingzhan couldn't tell Zhu Xuntao that the imperial decree of marriage was requested by the prince:

"Xiao Chenliang is two years old, and I am still alone. The queen doesn't like me, so she ordered a marriage and asked me to get married as soon as possible."

"I don't have any other women around me, and I have been engaged to you for many years..."

"..." Zhu Xuntao was surprised. What a guy, so Xiao Jingzhan was urged to get married by the queen, and she was the one who got unlucky?

In modern times, she is an orphan, and it's up to her to get married. She has only seen the word "urging marriage" on her colleagues. She

never expected that after traveling through the book, she would become a victim of urging marriage.

Zhu Xuntao was frustrated: "Is there no other way?"

Xiao Jingzhan pinched his fingers: "Not for now."

Zhu Xuntao supported his elbow with one hand and tapped his forehead with the other hand, pretending to think: "Don't worry, as long as we don't get married tomorrow, there will be room for this matter to turn around."

[Xiao Jingzhan is the man that Zhu Yingyan likes. There is no need for me to charge in. Zhu Yingyan will first think of a way to solve the trouble of the marriage. ]

[What's more, Zhu Yingyan

is the heroine. What can't the heroine do? ] [Very good, I can still be a bit careless as a female supporting role. The way to go is to develop in a sleazy way. 】

Xiao Jingzhan secretly shook his head, thinking that this time, Zhu Xuntao might not get what she wanted.

Even if Zhu Yingyan really took action, regardless of whether it would be successful or not, Zhu Xuntao would not get any good results.

He did not understand Zhu Xuntao before, but through recent observations, he did not think that if Zhu Yingyan really wanted to harm Zhu Xuntao, Zhu Xuntao would be willing to be calculated just to break off the engagement.

All of Zhu Xuntao's tolerance was based on a big premise: it would not hurt her, and she could be guaranteed freedom and wealth.

Zhu Xuntao was definitely not a cat basking in the sun, but a leopard dozing off, cunning and ferocious.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jingzhan said: "You can do whatever you want. If you encounter any problems, you can also go to your father, he will help you."

Zhu Xuntao wanted to refute at first. In the Zhu family, she was a transparent person, her father didn't love her, and her mother didn't love her.

No one else could rely on her except herself when she encountered any problems.

But soon, Zhu Xuntao realized what Xiao Jingzhan meant.

As soon as the imperial edict was issued, her marriage with Xiao Jingzhan was like welding steel bars and pouring cement, unbreakable.

Facing the future daughter of the marquis, the scumbag father's attitude towards her would definitely be different from before.

It can be said that from the moment he received the imperial edict, Zhu Xuntao was the most precious daughter of the Zhu family.

For his own benefit, the scumbag father would never let anyone touch her hair again.

Naturally, the scumbag father had to listen to what she said to him.

Zhu Xuntao's mind turned faster. She was not unaware of the crisis: "Okay, I know everything."

At this point, Zhu Xuntao was too lazy to waste her breath to blame Xiao Jingzhan for changing his mind every day. He obviously didn't like her, so why didn't he fight for the right to marriage autonomy before the decree was issued.

[The living are indeed more troublesome than the dead. Xiao Jingzhan doesn't care who will be his wife.]

[What does liking her mean? As long as she is suitable and can be a good hostess of the Marquis's Mansion, it's enough.]

[Hehe, Master Xiao is not picky about women. 】

Xiao Jingzhan was surprised that Zhu Xuntao could understand his mind so well. Like everyone else, he thought that Zhu Xuntao insisted on breaking off the engagement because she misunderstood that he liked Zhu Yingyan.

Seeing that Zhu Xuntao understood him so well, Xiao Jingzhan's ears blushed and his eyes dodged for some reason.

Xiao Jingzhan never thought that the reason why Zhu Xuntao knew so much was because these were all routines in novels.

Before the hero fell in love with the heroine, he was a saint like Liu Xiahui who had no desires.

Once he got involved with the heroine, good guy, the saint turned into a werewolf!

"Do you have anything else to say to me?" Xiao Jingzhan asked.

"No." He said it but didn't listen. What can he say?

Xiao Jingzhan was worried: "If you encounter something that even Zhu Da can't solve, you can come to the Marquis' Mansion to find my mother. If that doesn't work, my mother can tell the Empress Dowager."

Zhu Xuntao waved his hand and let Xiao Jingzhan go.

After the imperial edict of marriage, Zhu Da's popularity in the court soared, and his work efficiency also improved.

And those who interact with Zhu Da, the most praised is Zhu Da's good parenting, otherwise, how could the emperor and the empress grant marriage to Zhu's family.

For this, Zhu Da's face was full of red, and he specially instructed the people in the mansion to serve Zhu Xuntao well.

If any blind servant disrespected Zhu Xuntao, he would just take the indenture and send him away.

As soon as this was said, the wind direction of the government changed immediately.
