His last glance before leaving seemed to be filled with endless profound meaning.
If Zhou Cheng hadn't stepped on the Fourth Prince's sore spot today, he certainly wouldn't have lost his temper and brought it up.
Just two days ago.
The fourth prince overheard his father discussing a secret matter. It turned out that his father had always regarded the General's Mansion as a thorn in his side and had been plotting for a long time before he was about to take action against it.
As Cheng Xianyi watched the Fourth Prince's departing figure, a red light flashed deep in her eyes.
"The guillotine? We'll see who goes first then!" Zhou Cheng narrowed his dangerous eyes, secretly sneering to himself, "Does he really think I'm a simp?"
"If it weren't for the space and the armory, a woman like Lin Jiaoyun wouldn't even deserve a second glance from me!"
After leaving the red-light district.
Zhou Cheng then took Cheng Xianyi back to the mansion.
After being lectured in the study by General Zhou for an hour, Cheng's father hurriedly came out, only to find that his daughter had been abducted by Zhou Cheng. He was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at Zhou Cheng.
After waiting for quite a while, the two finally returned home.
Seeing Zhou Cheng's groping hand, Cheng's father turned pale.
She immediately rushed over and pulled her daughter away, glaring at Zhou Cheng with resentment.
Then, lowering her voice, she said to Cheng Xianyi with exasperation, "Why don't you know how to refuse at all? He holds your hand, and you just let him?"
"You'll just go out if I take you out?"
"How come you don't hold a grudge at all! You've completely forgotten how he treated you before, haven't you! And now you're just eagerly clinging to him."
Cheng Xianyi blinked but didn't say anything.
"I really can't do anything with you... I really don't know what kind of spell Zhou Cheng cast on you. Oh well, I can't control you anymore!"
"Still looking? What's so interesting? Come on, let's go back to the manor!"
Zhou Cheng silently stepped aside without saying a word.
Cheng Xianyi was forcibly dragged out of the door by her father. A second before she left, she turned back and gave Zhou Cheng a deep look, then revealed a charming and shrewd smile that could captivate anyone.
Zhou Cheng's heart skipped a beat.
This is outrageous!
Just for that smile that was full of love for him, Zhou Cheng felt that points were secondary; the most important thing was that Cheng Xianyi truly only had eyes for him.
Then I looked at the points.
"11089 points in the Supplies Mall"
More than ten thousand!
I wish I could touch her little hand at night too!
I woke up to find I had tens of thousands of dollars.
The second sister, who was walking over, inexplicably heard several bursts of laughter. Turning her head, she saw her younger brother with his eyes closed, letting out a few strange laughs.
She was immediately startled.
General Zhou, who was standing nearby, was also surprised.
Are you this happy being with Miss Cheng?
Could it be that... this isn't a game of playing hard to get, but rather a genuine abandonment of Lin Jiaoyun?
"Da da da—"
"General! Young Master!"
The sound of hurried footsteps rang out.
The gatekeeper ran over in a panic and said to General Zhou, "Eunuch Ma has arrived."
The second sister asked in surprise, "Isn't that the chief eunuch by the Emperor's side? What's he doing here?"
"I noticed that he seemed to be carrying an imperial edict."
"Eunuch Ma has arrived!"
As that sharp sound rang out.
Eunuch Ma, dressed in a eunuch's robe, strode over. His face was gaunt, and his eyes were slightly sunken, making his pupils appear larger than normal, giving him an unapproachable look.
Upon seeing the imperial edict in Eunuch Ma's hand...
General Zhou's expression changed slightly, and he immediately led everyone present to kneel down.
"By the mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: I know that the Zhou family is full of loyal ministers and martyrs who have rendered meritorious service in pacifying the Xiongnu Xisha tribe. Now that we live in a peaceful and prosperous era, I do not wish to..."
"Special order: General Zhou will be fully prepared to enter the palace for an audience with the Emperor tomorrow."
"General Zhou, receive the imperial decree!"
The sudden news stunned everyone in the Zhou family.
