He was already feeling uneasy, and now seeing Jiang Jiang trying to pass on a message to Jiang Yun, he subconsciously gripped her hand a little harder, causing her to exclaim in surprise.
"I'm sorry." Lu Zheng quickly let go and rubbed her wrist, his tone low, "I didn't control myself well."
Look, this is what he is like, sensitive and inferior yet craving for warmth.
Jiang Jiang knew what he was thinking from his expression. She grabbed his wrist and squeezed it before saying with a smile, "Don't overthink it. I'll do the same no matter who he marries. They should have the right to know."
If she didn't tell him, she would be aiding and abetting the evil, but she also didn't want to cause trouble for herself, so she asked Feng Xin to pass the money on a few more times.
She also didn't want to interfere in Jiang Yun's affairs. She and the Jiang family were both responsible for the disaster in her previous life. She shouldn't have stolen her father's documents for Lu Mingxuan, and the Jiang family shouldn't have forced their daughter just for the sake of the past.
But Lu Zheng is innocent, so it is reasonable for him to want to take revenge on Jiang Yun.
He did not force this marriage, and he did not blame Jiang Yun after she cheated on him, nor did he take his anger out on Prime Minister Jiang.
Jiang Jiang hugged him gently and said, "I will stay away from them in the future. Your Highness, just focus on your own business."
She wouldn't make things difficult for him.
The carriage suddenly fell silent. Lu Zheng's fingers unconsciously caressed the red mark on Jiang Jiang's wrist, a dark look welling up in his eyes. He suddenly chuckled, "Brother, that brocade robe you're wearing today, that's the cloud-patterned satin tribute from Jiangnan, right?"
Jiang Jiang was wondering why he suddenly brought this up, but he saw him take out an exquisite dagger from a secret compartment. The gemstones inlaid on the scabbard shone coldly in the dim light.
"It's made of black iron, a tribute from the Western Regions in the past." He gently pressed the dagger into her palm. "It's much more practical than that damn cloud-patterned satin."
Jiang Jiang then realized that he was a comparison, and his heart softened.
She deliberately played with the dagger and said, "It is indeed beautiful, but..." Suddenly leaning close to his ear, "Not as beautiful as your Highness."
The tips of Lu Zheng's ears instantly turned red, and the gloomy aura he had just had dissipated for the most part.
He pursed his lips and hugged her tightly, his voice muffled: "Slippery tongue."
"I'm serious." Jiang Jiang held his face in her hands, her fingertips tracing his delicate eyebrows and eyes. "Your Highness, this cinnabar mole at the corner of your eye..." she suddenly pecked it lightly. "It's more beautiful than a ruby from the Western Regions."

With the experience from his previous life, Lu Zheng quickly gathered all his former subordinates.
It was only then that the ministers in the court began to take the Ninth Prince seriously and were shocked by his growth.
But I also felt sorry for him, it was a pity that he was a cripple.
But I didn't feel regretful for long, because I heard the news from Prince Cheng's Mansion that the Ninth Prince's leg was healed!
Upon hearing this, Lu Mingxuan smashed a wall of porcelain and angrily shouted at his staff, "Didn't you say we don't have to worry about him? His leg is incurable, right?"
The staff thought it was bad luck: "Logically speaking, if a broken leg wasn't diagnosed and treated promptly when he was a child, he would be unable to stand up after he grew up."
Lu Mingxuan called him a waste again, but he did not doubt that Lu Zheng was pretending before, because he was the one who saw his leg broken.
Can't fake it.
I can only say that bitch is lucky.
He has been frustrated these days. First, his father-in-law refused to help him, and then that idiot Jiang Yun heard a rumor from somewhere that he had looked for Jiang Jiang at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, and had quarreled with him several times.
Later, the incident at Dongjiao Manor was brought to the attention of his father. Although he had almost moved on, he was still caught, and his father had been looking at him with a strange look in his eyes these days.
