Liang Mingmin glared at him, "Master Zhuo, don't you even ask about my name and identity?"
Zhuo Zheng felt disgusted by her angry look.
He smiled shyly, "It's not my place to ask about a girl's maiden name."
This is the only way to prove that he didn't know her identity and that he saved her without asking for anything in return.
As expected, Liang Mingmin felt that Zhuo Zheng was a good person. "Although your maiden name is important, you are my savior, so there is no need to be so taboo."
She took the initiative to say: "My name is Liang Mingmin, and I am also from North City."
Zhuo Zheng nodded first, "Miss Liang!"
Then he seemed to remember something and looked at her in great surprise, "Are you Princess Zhen from Prince Jin's Mansion?"
Liang Mingmin is so famous in North City that there are probably not many people who don’t know her name.
That's why he acted out this scene.
Because Zhuo Zheng's acting was flawless and looked very sincere.
Liang Mingmin didn't notice it, so he nodded with a somewhat arrogant smile, "Yes, I am Princess Zhen."
She asked, "How do you know me?"
Zhuo Zheng raised his hand and clasped his fists to her, "Greetings, Princess."
"The princess's name is well-known in the North City, and I have heard of it as well."
Liang Mingmin asked curiously, "How can I become famous?"
She had no doubt about this. After all, she was the legitimate daughter of Prince Jin. Wasn't it natural for her to be famous?
Zhuo Zheng naturally would not say that Princess Zhen was domineering, cruel and ruthless, and it was common for her to bully others. She did not have a good reputation in North City.
He lied to his conscience and said, "It is said that the princess is of noble status, bright and beautiful, can distinguish between good and evil, and eliminates evil and helps the weak."
He felt like vomiting while talking about it, especially the last two, which were actually completely the opposite.
"So I never thought that one day I would get to know the princess."
Although he was praising Liang Mingmin, he gave people a feeling of neither servility nor overbearance.
Liang Mingmin was stunned for a moment, then reached out and touched his face, "It turns out that in the hearts of everyone in Beicheng, I am so good!"
She didn't think that this was something Zhuo Zheng made up to please her, but instead thought it was true.
Seeing her narcissistic look, Zhuo Zheng felt even more disgusted.
This woman is not only cruel and vicious, but also has no self-awareness.
He continued to hold back his nausea and said, "Yes, the princess is very good."
Liang Mingmin glared at him again, "You are really good at talking, annoying!"
Zhuo Zheng: “…” He wanted to vomit.
He couldn't find any more words of praise, so he could only force a smile and said, "This is the truth. The princess has already arrived at her residence, so I'll take my leave now!"
If he stayed any longer, he was afraid he wouldn't even want to eat dinner.
Liang Mingmin was a little reluctant, "I haven't even repaid you yet, why don't you go in and have a cup of tea."
Zhuo Zheng: “…” Thank you so much.
This woman is so shameless. She actually invited the man she met for the first time into her house for tea. She is not a good wife at all.
He said apologetically, "I'm so sorry, Princess. I still have things to do. I'll come and ask for a cup of tea from you when I have the chance."
Liang Mingmin asked: "What do you want?"
Is there anything more important than having tea with a princess like her?
Zhuo Zheng gave a bitter smile, "Just now, Madam asked me to go to the county government office to deliver something to Lord Xiao. I have already wasted quite a bit of time. If I am late again, I will be embarrassed."
Seeing Zhuo Zheng's helplessness and bitter smile, Liang Mingmin couldn't help but feel distressed.
At the same time, he was also happy that there was finally someone in this county who was not on the side of that bitch Shi Qingluo.
He is indeed the man she likes.
She thought for a moment and said, "This county magistrate's wife is too overbearing."
She already knew which inn Zhuo Zheng was staying in and planned to go find him tomorrow.
It would be a bit abrupt for me to keep pestering him today, and I’m afraid I’ll scare him.
It's better to take it slowly and make him obey her willingly.
She has plenty of patience for this game of conquering men.
The original intention to attack Xiao Hanzheng was replaced by interest in Zhuo Zheng.
She planned to win Zhuo Zheng's heart first.
After all, not only did he look like what she liked, he also appeared when she was most helpless and collapsed, saving her and illuminating her heart like a ray of light.
If he knew that she also had feelings for Xiao Hanzheng, she was afraid he would be unhappy.
So she had to get Zhuo Zheng first, and then get Xiao Hanzheng to her backyard in North City.
The reason why she didn't want to give up Xiao Hanzheng was that his appearance and temperament were exactly what she liked, and he was also the most handsome man she had ever seen.
Xiao Hanzheng's protection of Shi Qingluo also made her jealous.
She wants to get this man and make her the one to protect in the future.
Zhuo Zheng didn't know that Liang Mingmin wanted to play both sides, so he continued to act, "Princess, don't worry about what happened before. I don't ask for anything in return."
He added, "Go back to the yard and have a rest. I'll leave now!"
Liang Mingmin found that Zhuo Zheng was sweet-mouthed and caring compared to her other lovers, so she liked him more. "Okay, see you another day!"
Zhuo Zheng nodded without any reluctance, "See you another day!"
Then he turned and left.
This made Liang Mingmin look at her with a higher regard. Even after knowing her identity, she still maintained her previous attitude, which was very rare.
It also shows that he saved herself not because of her identity.
Just now, as soon as Liang Mingmin arrived at the gate of the yard, he ordered the guards to bring the ugly man and others in.
Now she watched Zhuo Zheng leave until his back disappeared, then she turned and walked into the yard.
The smiling face suddenly darkened. "Punish these people in the most severe way and find out their identities."
She narrowed her eyes again, "Then castrate them all!"
"Yes!" The guard didn't know what had happened before, but he also knew that the people who were brought in just now were in a miserable state.
Soon, screams of men were heard in the yard.
The guards tortured them severely and found out the identities of the ugly men.
Liang Mingmin heard that these people were actually a gang of bandits. It was a surprise to meet her today, and she felt disgusted.
At this time, several secret guards who had been following behind to protect Liang Mingmin also came back.
As soon as he entered the room, he knelt down and begged her for forgiveness.
They were originally following the princess, but suddenly a funeral procession blocked their way.
After a delay of a while, they found that the princess was missing and became panicked.
Finally, he found out that the princess was sent back to the yard by several people, so he hurried back.
Liang Mingmin didn’t have many people available now, so even though he wanted to kill these people, he still held back.
"I'll give you a chance to redeem yourself."
"I have written to my father, asking him to send a team to suppress the bandits."
She said fiercely, "You should keep an eye on that mountain stronghold and investigate it first. Then, together with the people sent by father, we will slaughter all those bandits."
"And the family of that ugly man, I want you all to die."
The secret guards all breathed a sigh of relief and immediately nodded respectfully, "Yes!"
Then, without stopping, he headed towards the location of the stronghold that the guards had discovered through interrogation.
