Chapter 245 Why Don’t You Know Each Other?
System: [Juliet sneaks out in the maid's casual clothes, hoping to gain the approval of the head of the family with Romeo. However, if she fails to see the Eighth Prince this time, she will be taken away by the family members who have been waiting for her when she leaves the Zongzheng Mansion. In the end, the two of them die together in a classic love story.]
Crowd: …
The Third Prince couldn't bring himself to refuse to visit the Eighth Prince.
He coughed lightly and said, "Sure, but I can only stay for a cup of tea."
County Lord Mingqing thanked the man repeatedly.
The Third Prince took the key and walked forward. The Lord of Mingqing County and the young man followed him. After a few steps, the Third Prince suddenly stopped and said, "The servants cannot follow."
The Lord of Mingqing County suddenly stood still.
The man was still following the Third Prince, and said in confusion: "Your Highness, we didn't bring any servants with us."
The third prince looked at each other and fell silent.
System: [Hahahaha… The Third Prince failed miserably on his first assignment. He must be panicking. He was thinking: Damn it. The first time I did the work for the Zongzhengfu, I treated the nobles as servants. How embarrassing! What should I do?]
The Third Prince, who led the crowd forward, said: …
Yuan Ruan: [Pfft. But I don’t think the Third Prince can be blamed. Although this Romeo looks handsome, he is wearing dark linen clothes and is with the Lord of Mingqing County... Well, many servants in aristocratic families are also so handsome. It’s normal to be misunderstood.]
Everyone: ???
Romeo? You mean this guy has a close relationship with the Lord of Mingqing County?!
This is impossible. The man's fingers are rough and his clothes have no family crest. It's obvious that he is from a commoner family. It's impossible.
Only the prince, who had experienced too many melodramas, asked cautiously, "What is your relationship?"
The man said, "Husband and wife."
County Lord Mingqing: "Engaged couple."
After they finished talking, the two looked at each other. There was some dissatisfaction in the man's eyes, but after noticing the woman's dazed state, he quickly went over and held her wrist.
Crowd: !!!
At the same time, the Third Prince also stopped and signaled everyone that they had arrived at their destination, the chamber where the Eighth Prince was temporarily staying.
The third prince unlocked the door and saw a figure standing on a desk from a distance. His hand was still pulling a satin loop that was wrapped around the beam.
The head of the Mingqing County suddenly screamed, "Father."
The man's body tilted forward slightly, with his head trapped in the circle, as if he was about to hang himself.
County Master Mingqing became even more anxious, and couldn't help running forward: "Father, father, my daughter is wrong..."
System: [Wa Qu, why is this Eighth Prince going to hang himself? ]
Yuanruan's pupils trembled: [Is this caused by being locked up and depressed?! ]
The third prince who followed over heard this and immediately showed his pain: "Little brother, what kind of death are you looking for? After you came in here, I gave you everything you wanted, including good food, drinks and fun. This is how you repay me."
Qi Kuan had a serious face and rushed in quickly.
Other court officials also rushed forward to persuade him.
But no one was as fast as the black shadow that passed by.
"Father-in-law!" The man rushed to the Eighth Prince, stepped on the edge of the table, and wanted to reach out to hug the other's waist.
The Eighth Prince was nervous, his legs trembled and he stepped to the side, with the center of gravity falling right on the corner where the man was stepping.
“Snap!”
The table was overturned by this force. Without anything to support the Eighth Prince, he kicked his legs and hanged himself.
What I felt even more was that the man who rushed over lost his balance and fell down.
It's okay to fall down.
He was still holding the Eighth Prince's thigh tightly, which caused the Eighth Prince's neck to bear almost the weight of two adult men.
The king's face turned visibly blue.
Crowd: !!!
It's over! This is really going to cost someone their life!
Qi Kuan rushed over and immediately grabbed the Eighth Prince by the waist and lifted him up. The man who fell quickly got up and used his knees to support the Eighth Prince's feet.
Other court officials also rushed over to help, some hugged his waist, some lifted his legs. Within five seconds, everyone worked together to free the eighth prince's neck from the circle.
The Eighth Prince began to cough madly, and the wind was blowing to inhale oxygen.
The head of Mingqing County rushed over with tears in her eyes, crying, "Wuwuwu, it's my fault. I didn't expect to make you so angry..."
"Fuck! Who the hell wants to kill me?" The Eighth Prince raised his head and looked at everyone angrily, "Just now, some bastard rushed over and kicked over my desk, almost killing me."
The county chief of Mingqing, who was crying and hiccuping, suddenly said: ...
The Third Prince was so disappointed that he was ready to scold the Eighth Prince:???
Everyone else's eyes turned to the first man who rushed out.
System: [Pfft! I really don't want to laugh, but Ah Ruan... I really want to laugh and make a fortune. The man thought the Eighth Prince was hanging himself, so he rushed to help, but ended up causing the Eighth Prince to almost die. Hahahaha... Whether you make friends or not, you will hurt others and yourself.]
Yuan Ruan covered her mouth with her chubby little hands: [Snatching bamboo shoots! Stop talking, stop making me laugh. But Tong'er, it's no wonder that the man misunderstood. The Eighth Prince really looked like he was going to hang himself. What was he trying to do? ]
System: [Let me see. Ha, Ah Ruan, it's like this. The Eighth Prince was too bored, and he saw a story that said a person with strong martial arts could hang between the beams with a piece of silk, and then sleep on the silk, just like Xiao Longnu sleeping on a rope. The Eighth Prince found a sturdy silk and hung it on the beam. He just wanted to test its hardness.]
Crowd: !!!
There was something strange in the way they looked at the Eighth Prince.
You still have a childish heart and dare to try anything written in the storybook.
…
As soon as the conversation between the system and Yuanruan came out, the pupils of the originally extremely angry Eighth Prince shrank.
He didn't expect that the Great Xia Imperial Master was also here.
The Eighth Prince quickly straightened his clothes and even his expression became calmer.
The man knelt down in front of the Eighth Prince with a "click" and kowtowed, saying, "It was my fault for being reckless and offending my superiors. I am willing to accept the punishment..."
County Master Mingqing came over in a panic, looking at his lover, then at the Eighth Prince, and whispered, "Father, he didn't mean it."
The Eighth Prince calmed down and pointed at the man coldly, then pointed at his own bruised neck: "What are you talking about! Who is this guy, and why are you protecting him so much!"
Yuanruan gently covered her mouth with her small hand: [Huh? This kid almost kidnapped the county lord? Why doesn't the Eighth Prince know him? ]
