"No matter how cold the Lin family girl was, Zhou Cheng persisted and doted on her without expecting anything in return. Is this the same Lin Jiaoyun? It doesn't seem like her."
Marquis Pingyang simply couldn't reconcile this face with his appearance.
Is this considered normal?
He had lived for nearly thirty years and had never seen such breathtaking beauty!
The subordinate beside him pondered for a while and guessed, "Marquis, could it be that the lady held a grudge against the Lin family girl back then, so she rejected her no matter how good her appearance was?"
"It's said in the capital that Zhou Cheng is a hopeless romantic, and he doesn't fancy anyone but the Lin family girl. Think about it, if the Lin family girl were truly of average appearance, would she have captivated Zhou Cheng to such an extent?"
Marquis Pingyang's pupils contracted slightly: "You mean... this woman is very likely Lin Jiaoyun? But how could she be here... Zhou Cheng has already rescued Lin Jiaoyun from the capital?!"
You’re not to mention.
You know what!
It's really possible!
Marquis Pingyang knew better than anyone how much Zhou Cheng fawned over Lin Jiaoyun.
After all, in the past two years, he had heard many stories from Zhou Shiying, all of which showed that Zhou Cheng seemed to be bewitched by Lin Jiaoyun, even more obsessed than if he were possessed.
Previously, Marquis Pingyang couldn't understand and thought Zhou Cheng was a fool who couldn't live without women, but now it seems...?
If she's this stunningly beautiful, then perhaps it's understandable...
"My lord, I suspect that woman is most likely Lin Jiaoyun!"
"I have personally witnessed the power of Zhou Cheng's weapons. Before, I probably wouldn't have believed that Zhou Cheng had such strength, but now... perhaps it really is possible."
"After all, besides her, what other woman in the world is worth Zhou Cheng going to such lengths to return to the capital? Is she worth Zhou Cheng ordering his trusted confidants to protect her closely, even sending five or six members of the Zhou family to escort her when she goes out?"
"Marquis, could encountering the Zhou family on the way present another opportunity?"
The last sentence suddenly reached the ears of Marquis Pingyang.
Chance........
This is indeed an opportunity!
Regardless of whether that stunningly beautiful woman is Lin Jiaoyun or not, so what?
Is this the key point?
no!
The key point is that Zhou Cheng dotes on her and even assigns Zhou family members to escort her when she goes out. They even sleep in the same bed at night. This woman is so favored that she must know the inside story about the weapon!
The Marquis of Pingyang felt resentful whenever he thought about how Zhou Shiying had been abducted by Zhou Cheng on the way.
A chance to turn the tables has suddenly appeared...
"If this city were only inhabited by the Zhou family, who wield weapons, I might have swallowed my anger."
But unfortunately—
"Ha, there are two frail women here."
"If I can't handle guards wielding deadly weapons, surely I can handle these women who can't lift a finger? As long as I find an opportunity to isolate them, I can take them down with a single finger!"
"No matter who she is, given how much Zhou Cheng values her, she's worth my gamble! Maybe she knows the source of the weapon, maybe I can turn the tide and save the day?"
A sinister plan came to mind.
The Marquis of Pingyang curled his lips into a cold smile.
He stared at the slender figure that had disappeared from sight, his eyes half-closed, and said with certainty and contempt, "Follow her for me. It's like finding a needle in a haystack. She's much more useful than Zhou Shiying!"
