"Grand Tutor! How could it be you!"
"How did you get here!"
Because it was so terrifying, the eldest princess asked three questions in a row.
Grand Tutor Cheng steadied himself and looked up at the Princess a few meters away. Upon seeing her, his old face turned red again, and his eyes kept glancing at one spot unconsciously.
The princess then realized what she was wearing. She looked down at her semi-transparent body, her eyes reddening with anger, rage, and pain.
She tried to cover her partially obscured body with her cloak, but found that the cloak was gone.
This must be because the lady-in-waiting was afraid that if Zhou Cheng rushed in, she would say "no indecent exposure" and that Zhou Cheng would cover her up immediately, so she took away the only thing covering her!
"Someone come here!"
"Someone come quick!"
The eldest princess shouted in a loud voice.
But no one responded to her.
The lady-in-waiting was certain that there would be a great commotion in the side hall, so to show respect, she walked far away, intending to reappear after the matter was over.
The princess broke down. She covered her upper and lower body with both hands, only to find that her hands couldn't cover so many areas. She was so angry that tears streamed down her face. She was anxious and at a loss.
"It's me, so why can't I be here?"
"Besides, the person who hugged me tightly as soon as I walked in was you. You even told me a lot of things... cough cough, I really didn't expect that you had feelings for me."
"Your Highness, this is too sudden. I wasn't prepared at all."
"Xianyi's mother passed away many years ago, and I have never remarried, fearing that my stepmother would treat Xianyi badly. But today I heard you say that you don't want a formal title or for me to marry you."
“That’s fine. My daughter is well-behaved and sensible, she certainly won’t mind our relationship.”
"Don't try to stop me. I've seen what I should and shouldn't have seen. What's the point of stopping me?" Grand Tutor Cheng touched his nose and said these words with a wandering gaze.
The eldest princess was so angry that the veins on her face bulged. Her eyes were red as she glared at Grand Tutor Cheng and gritted her teeth, shouting, "Shut up! Shut up!"
"You shameless old scoundrel! I am the eldest princess of the Yan Kingdom, how dare you lay a finger on me!"
"What I just said was what I told Zhou Cheng."
"The person I care about is Zhou Cheng, not you. The person I want to sacrifice myself for is also Zhou Cheng, not you! You were once the Grand Tutor of Yan Kingdom, a paragon of scholarship. How could you have such thoughts about your student?"
"You're still willing to accept me? Not ready yet? You're utterly shameless! How dare you look at me again! I'll gouge your eyes out!"
Grand Tutor Cheng felt a mix of emotions he couldn't quite describe: "........."
It is you who asked me to have mercy on you.
You were the one who said I should hurt you badly.
And now you're saying I'm shameless?
How is that shameless?
Who doesn't have needs?
The thoughts in Cheng Taifu's mind subsided, and his expression turned cold.
He wasn't the kind of man who couldn't live without beautiful women, but with the princess sent to his side and clinging to him, and possessing such stunning beauty, it was inevitable that his hormones would surge.
"So you didn't come here to whisper sweet nothings to me, but to whisper sweet nothings to my nephew Cheng?"
"It's fine if you flirt with me, but you dare to steal my precious daughter away?"
"snort!!"
"The eldest princess is quite skilled; she has even learned those despicable tricks used in brothels. How could Emperor Yan, the ruler of a nation, bear to let his daughter do such things?"
"I'm shameless? I think you're the shameless one! Who was it that just hugged me? Who moved my hand away? Who pitied me and begged me to accept gifts?"
You're disgusting!
"What nonsense about seeking peace! It's all a honey trap! Just wait for your Yan Kingdom to be destroyed! What kind of thing are you to dare to turn your back on me?" Grand Tutor Cheng was furious and stormed off.
He's not Zhou Cheng; he can't just rush up and slap someone twice to vent his anger.
It's not like Master Qin would resort to force when he's angry and embarrassed.
The princess trembled as she watched Cheng Taifu leave with a flick of his sleeve. She was filled with a thousand layers of anger with nowhere to vent it, and she was also surrounded by countless humiliations, embarrassments, awkwardness and pain.
To behave so disrespectfully and say such things in front of the teacher... it's truly shameful!
Why not Zhou Cheng?
Why wasn't it Zhou Cheng who came?
Why is this happening..........
The princess knelt down, hugged herself, and shed two lines of tears of unbearable pain.
Zhou Cheng, who was being torn apart by the Princess's heart-wrenching cries, had no time to pay attention to the court's peace talks. He was preoccupied with finding the Cheng Gui Pavilion branch and hoping to use Cheng Gui Pavilion's influence to find Cheng Xianyi.
"Leader of Orange Smoke, look!"
On the main street of Luo'an City, a voice rang out from the shadows at the alley entrance: "Look! Aren't those members of the Zhou family?"
"The one leading the group, doesn't he look like the Pavilion Master's fiancé? Am I seeing things? Isn't the Zhou family busy with the siege? Why would they be in a place like the main street?"
"I found out that they seem to be after us. Young Master Zhou is looking for people from Cheng Gui Pavilion."
