Cheng Xianyi then said, "But I really like that cat, because you held it two years ago, and it has your scent on it."
"Unfortunately, Miss Lin was scratched on the back of her hand by it, and in a fit of anger, she skinned the cat."
"But it's alright. At least the day you asked me for the cat, you said ten sentences to me, forty-nine words in total. I remember it very clearly. Its life was worth it."
"........"
Zhou Cheng's head was buzzing.
so--
Over the years, every word, every sentence, and every action that Cheng Xianyi had used to humiliate, mock, and insult her was obtained through all sorts of means.
I'll do anything as long as I can see him.
Why?
Why does she love herself so much?
No matter how Zhou Cheng thought about it, he couldn't understand it!
Including the Fourth Prince today, he could tell that the Fourth Prince had feelings for Cheng Xianyi, and that he would dare to propose marriage if Cheng Xianyi showed him even a little kindness.
But Cheng Xianyi didn't want anyone, ignored everyone, and kept all men at arm's length.
Finally, as time passed, Zhou Cheng became extremely sleepy.
As he listened to the notification sound of his steadily increasing points, only one thought crossed his mind before he fell asleep: 'Damn system, because of that one "you made a mistake," you almost ruined my entire life!'
After Cheng Xianyi finished talking about the cat-stealing incident, she remained silent.
She sat quietly on the bed.
Zhou Cheng held her slender wrist in his palm.
She held that position until dawn, when she gently pulled her small hand back and looked at Zhou Cheng with deep, tender eyes.
"Whoosh—"
With a slight flicker, he disappeared from the room.
The total points in the Supplies Mall are now capped at 40,913.
When Zhou Cheng woke up, Cheng Xianyi was no longer in the room. He immediately checked his points and was stunned to see that he had surpassed 40,000.
He quickly sat up and got dressed.
He glanced at the sky and immediately ran towards the gate of the mansion.
now,
A carriage was already prepared outside the Zhou residence. The emperor had decreed that they would enter the palace today, and sensible ministers would choose to enter the palace immediately in the morning, never delaying until the afternoon.
General Zhou stood in his study, looking haggard, and addressed his loyal subordinates, saying, "I have already made arrangements for the aftermath. This journey is likely to be fraught with danger."
“Once I set off, the royal guards hiding in the shadows watching the General’s Mansion will surely relax their guard. You must immediately find an opportunity to knock the young master unconscious and take him out of the capital safely.”
"The farther the better, never come back to Beijing again!"
"Do you understand?"
The subordinates knelt down, their voices firm and resolute: "Your subordinates obey!"
Indeed!
As soon as he said that...
Zhou Cheng pushed open the tightly closed study door and stood calmly in the center of the room, looking at the astonished crowd and his father: "So, Father, you've resigned yourself to your fate?"
"I thought you listened to everything I said yesterday."
When General Zhou saw his son suddenly appear, he opened his mouth, then sighed sadly.
He waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to leave for the time being.
When only the father and son remained in the study, General Zhou could no longer contain his reluctance and pain, and his eyes reddened: "Cheng'er, it is your father's incompetence that has caused you both such misfortune!"
"Over the years, your mind has been focused on Lin Jiaoyun, and you have been unaware of the changes in the political situation."
"Although I command 300,000 troops, there are still 500,000 troops under the command of the Crown Prince's maternal clan stationed in the south. I... our Zhou family has no other choice!"
"Cheng'er, listen to your father and mother, you must escape from the capital and live a good life."
"It's because your father couldn't protect you!"
As he spoke.
Tears welled up in General Zhou's eyes. He quickly turned his head away, helplessly accepting this fate.
