After saying this, he ran out as if escaping.

Zong Zhengchen looked at her fleeing back, his dark eyes narrowed, the smile on the corners of his lips gradually deepened, and finally, he laughed out loud:

"Hahaha!"

That's all the courage you have, and you still dare to tease him?

Ha ha!

Have dinner in the lobby on the first floor.

Qin Ye chose a seat in the corner. The six of them ate a simple meal of eight dishes and two soups, listening to the lively discussions around them while eating.

Almost all the topics discussed were about the 'prefectural governor throwing a bouquet to propose marriage'. Ninety percent of the young talents from outside the city came here to try their luck.

Qin Ye pricked up his ears and listened, he was so curious that he couldn't help asking Han Feng:

"Who is the prefect of Xiangnan City? He won't marry his daughter to a family of equal status. If the person who snatched the embroidered ball was a butcher, would he still be willing to marry her?"

Before Han Feng opened his mouth, Zong Zhengchen beside him opened his lips and answered:

"Tang Qinghua, the prefect of Xiangnan City, has been in office for more than 20 years. He has a son and a daughter. He is easy-going and approachable, and is recognized as a good official by the people."

The reason for the engagement by throwing the bouquet was because Tang Qinghua had an easy-going personality and did not care too much about the difference in fame, wealth and status.

Qin Ye didn't ask him!

Thinking back to what happened in the room before...this man is so bad, I don’t want to talk to him!

She asked Han Feng again: "He only has one daughter, so logically he should pamper her more. Why would he dote on her this way? If it was a man his daughter didn't like, if it was an old man, if... I always think it's too weird."

Just as Han Feng was about to speak, Zong Zhengchen interrupted:

"Didn't Ye'er realize that Tang Qinghua used this method to increase his own reputation and influence, and also promoted the flow of people and economic development in Xiangnan City?"

Qin Ye: “…”

Does this mean she is stupid?

Ignore him!

Continue to ask Han Feng: "Xiangnan City is a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, a prosperous place, and there is no need to worry about money and economy. Tang Qinghua doesn't need to do this. Although it promotes the economy, it ruins his daughter's lifelong happiness."

She always found this strange.

Han Feng opened his mouth: "King..."

"Why don't you go ask Tang Qinghua tomorrow?"

Han Feng: “…”

Master, you say it, I'm concentrating on eating.

Qin Ye glanced at Zong Zhengchen unhappily and cursed inwardly:

——You are the only one who is smart, you are the only one who knows a lot! You are the only one who keeps complaining.

Holding the chopsticks, he poked the rice in the bowl and muttered quietly: "You are the only one who talks too much..."

"Hmm?" Zong Zhengchen glanced sideways, as if he didn't hear clearly and wanted to listen carefully.

Qin Ye raised his head, smiled, picked up his chopsticks, and picked up some food: "Your Majesty, you have worked hard. Eat more."

"Princess, you are so considerate. I will have to work hard tonight."

"???"

You are talking dirty in front of so many people!

Han Feng lowered his head, and the three secret guards' heads were about to be pressed into the bowl: Master, we didn't hear anything.

At this moment, there was a commotion on the street outside:

"What... is missing..."

"Hurry and find ..."

The crowd was restless, with messy footsteps, hurried running and discussions. It was obvious what had happened.

Qin Ye immediately put down his chopsticks and ran out quickly, and saw a group of people who looked like officers and soldiers running over.

She tied her veil to cover her face, grabbed a young man, and asked in a good-tempered manner:

"May I ask this brother, what happened?"

The young man turned around and said, "Miss, don't you know? She is the daughter of the prefect. Tomorrow is the engagement party, but the daughter of the prefect suddenly disappeared tonight..."

Qin Ye's eyes darkened.

really.

She said... there must be something fishy about this matter.
