midnight.
"Knock!"
"Cheng Jing, are you asleep?"
"Shangguan Chengjing" was shocked. Who was knocking on his door so late at night?
Does he open it or not?
It’s better not to open it?
Shangguan Chengjing huddled in his quilt and muttered in a muffled voice, "I'm asleep."
Just as he finished speaking, he heard the female voice at the door say without hesitation: "Then wake up!"
"Shangguan Chengjing": ...
Shangguan Chengjing put on his outer robe and let Zhao Ying in with a nervous look on his face.
The moment he opened the door, his brain raced. Looking at the gorgeous and beautiful woman in front of him, he called out, "Mom!"
That’s right, isn’t it?
Is this Princess Chengqian?
He took a look from a distance...
"Shangguan Chengjing" observed Zhao Ying's expression. Seeing that there was nothing unusual about Zhao Ying, he breathed a sigh of relief and guessed right.
Zhao Ying found a seat and sat down, looking somewhat hesitant. The look she gave him was filled with an indescribable...sympathy?
What's wrong?
"Cheng Jing, today my mother heard that you gave the pair of glass pots to the eldest daughter of the Zhai family, Zhai Jingxuan. Is this true?"
"Shangguan Chengjing" was startled when he heard this.
How does she know?
What else does she know?
Could it be that she also knew that his core had been replaced?
No, no, if you knew, you wouldn’t be so calm.
Shangguan Chengjing suppressed his guilty conscience and took a deep breath. "Yes, I gave it to her..."
It was originally won by Shangguan Chengjing, so of course he would not take possession of other people's things.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Ying said silently after hearing this, "If that's true..."
"Shangguan Chengjing" didn't understand.
Zhao Ying added, "Cheng Jing, there is something I want to tell you."
"You said?"
After saying that, "Shangguan Chengjing" changed his posture and put one leg on top of the other.
Zhao Ying frowned silently when she saw this. This effeminate posture...
Now was not the time to talk about this, so Zhao Ying got straight to the point. "Miss Zhai encountered some bandits on her way home tonight, and they threw her off a cliff..."
Zhao Ying didn't dare to say anything more.
So cruel.
To her son who was just beginning to fall in love, this was too cruel...
Shangguan Chengjing was a little confused for a moment, and he asked again, "What?"
"Miss Zhai...fell off a cliff, her life or death unknown!"
Every word matched Yue'er's thoughts. Even though they wanted to prevent the tragedy from happening, everything still went on the original track.
Now, "Shangguan Chengjing" understood.
Suddenly his eyes became wide open and he didn't move at all, as if he had been struck by lightning.
“Zhai Jingxuan” dead?
Then wouldn't his body also...die?
Aaaaaaaaaaaah!!!
Then he can't get it back?
His body...
He has used his body for more than ten years...
And his original, authentic, and incredibly ugly face...
"Shangguan Chengjing" pursed his lips and endured it, but was afraid that Zhao Ying would see through his identity, and he really couldn't control his emotions.
Tears streamed down my face.
Zhao Ying couldn't bear to watch.
It seems that this child is really serious. He has never cried so sadly in the past.
Only when she begged Shangguan Shu to go "lying on the ice to catch carp" and was whipped by Shangguan Shu with a small whip did she cry so miserably.
Zhao Ying thought about Yue'er's feelings and chose a few words to comfort him, "Chengjing, don't cry. We just can't find the person now. Your father has sent people to search at the bottom of the cliff. What if they can find him?"
"Even if we can't find her, she's not necessarily dead."
“We must have confidence in the future!”
Shangguan Chengjing wiped his tears and said in a hoarse voice, "Yes, that's right, she must not be dead!"
"She's not allowed to die!"
"She can't die without my permission!"
Who will return his body after he dies?
Just like that, "Shangguan Chengjing" was like a demon. After learning that Shangguan Shu hadn't found Zhai Jingxuan's body, he posted a notice everywhere to find a woman with a birthmark on her face...
Many people pretended to be him, but none of them caught his eye...
Gradually, gossip began to spread in the capital, but it was all good.
"The eldest son of the Zhenguo family and the eldest daughter of the Zhai family have secretly pledged their love to each other. Their love is as strong as gold, but Miss Zhai is unlucky and cannot enjoy this..."
During this period, the Zhai family heard about this matter. Zhai's father was overjoyed. He never expected that his ugly and faceless daughter would marry into the Duke's Mansion and make the Duke's manor's son fall deeply in love with her?
He didn't get his official position through legitimate means to begin with, so now that he sees an opportunity, why wouldn't he just jump on it?
Father Zhai immediately went to Zhai Jingxuan's house to look for some of her jewelry so that he could give it to the young master of the Duke's Mansion. However, after searching around, he found that there were not many pieces that he could give away.
At this time, Zhai Jingyu and Mrs. Zhai walked in.
Mrs. Zhai suggested that since Jingxuan's whereabouts were unknown, why not send Jingyu over there?
Jingyu is smarter and more beautiful than Jingxuan, and will definitely be more liked by the young master.
Zhai Jingyu suppressed the lingering jealousy and hatred in her heart and looked at Zhai's father shyly.
Mr. Zhai agreed on the spot.
The three of them got on a carriage and headed for the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Coincidentally, they met "Shangguan Chengjing" who was looking for someone but failed.
The three of them stated their purpose.
"Shangguan Chengjing" looked at these familiar and ugly faces, put his hands behind his back, and ordered his men to beat the three men away with sticks.
Looking at the three people's frightened figures, "Shangguan Chengjing" finally got rid of some of the humiliation he had suffered in the past.
It turns out that they acted arrogantly and domineeringly in front of him, but in front of more powerful people, they were even worse than dogs...
