A burning desire flashed in Li Zhenjian's eyes. Long ago, he had been infatuated with this beautiful and voluptuous duchess. However, he knew that there was a huge difference in their social status and dared not entertain the idea of a toad trying to eat swan meat.
At most, he would have the concubines in the mansion secretly wear clothes similar to Qin Wanru's at night, have similar hairstyles, and even apply the same perfume.
Then she treated it as Qin Wanru's crazy attack.
Unfortunately, I always felt bored afterward, since those concubines were far from the real Qin Wanru.
Perhaps Heaven sensed his sincerity and granted him this opportunity.
With such a major incident befalling the Chu family, and even Chu Zhongtian imprisoned, the arrival of the goddess is truly a godsend.
Women who were once unattainable now seem within reach.
Just as his palm was about to touch that plump, soft spot, he suddenly felt a pain in his hand, and saw that his wrist had been grabbed by the other person.
Qin Wanru turned around and looked at him coldly: "What is Patriarch Li trying to do?"
Li Zhenjian smiled awkwardly: "Of course, I was thinking of helping Madam."
Qin Wanru sneered, "Is this how you intend to help?"
Li Zhenjian also put away his smile: "If Madam grants my wish, I will naturally grant your wish in return."
"Shameless!" Qin Wanru trembled with anger. She never expected that the guy who used to be so respectful to her would have such filthy thoughts about her.
With a loud slap, he slapped the other person across the face.
She was too lazy to say anything to such a despicable and shameless guy, so she simply turned and left.
Li Zhenjian touched his cheek, then brought it to his nose and inhaled deeply, exclaiming, "It smells so good!"
At this moment, a man who looked like a clerk came out from the back room and said with some concern, "Master, the Chu family is, after all, a duke's mansion. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to offend Madam Chu like this?"
Li Zhenjian snorted: "What Duke's Mansion? It's nothing but a thing of the past. Now that the court is determined to deal with the Chu family, and Prefect Sang has personally taken action, how can the Chu family possibly cause any more trouble?"
"But it's better to be safe than sorry..." the clerk said hesitantly.
“There are no such things as ‘what ifs’.” Li Zhenjian waved his hand. “Do you think I’m really so impulsive, driven by lust? How else could I refuse Qin Wanru’s request for help? Moreover, this is an opportunity to completely sever ties with the Chu family and let others know that our Li family and the Chu family are not on the same side, so that we won’t be caught in the crossfire in the future.”
"Master is indeed brilliant!" The clerk gave a thumbs up, but inwardly he was full of contempt. He said nicely, but did he think I didn't see that lecherous face he just saw?
Meanwhile, Zuan and his group arrived at Mingyue Academy, and Chu Huanzhao naturally went to class.
Zu An and Chu Chuyan went to the principal's office to find Jiang Luofu.
After listening to what Chu Chuyan said, Jiang Luofu subconsciously shifted the position of her legs, which drew frequent glances from someone nearby.
Jiang Luofu thought for a moment and said, "First of all, I express my deepest sympathy and understanding for what happened to Mingyue Gong, but this time it was indeed your Chu family that violated the laws of the court. The academy system has never interfered in local government affairs, so it is probably inconvenient for the academy to get involved in this matter."
In fact, Chu Chuyan had thought of these things before. If Mingyue Academy were to lend a hand at this time, it would be tantamount to openly going against the royal will.
I originally thought that the academy system has always been independent and might not be so afraid of this.
In addition, given their personal relationship with the Chu family, they might lend a helping hand.
Unfortunately, the result still disappointed her.
"In that case, we'll have to trouble the principal." Chu Chuyan forced a smile. If even a college with such a good relationship wasn't willing to lend a hand, then there was probably no other way.
Zu An shook his head. Chu Chuyan was good in every way, but because she had been too outstanding since childhood, she was sometimes too concerned about saving face.
What kind of time is this to be talking about aristocratic etiquette and manners?
So he stopped her and stepped forward to say to Jiang Luofu, "Beautiful Principal, this is not right of you."
"Grandpa." Chu Chuyan hurriedly pulled him back. She knew that Principal Jiang was powerful and held an extraordinary position in Mingyue City. Although she was unwilling to help now, she would at least not be an enemy of the Chu family. If they offended her, it would really be a loss.
Zuan patted her hand to reassure her.
Jiang Luofu sat on the sofa and said calmly, "What's wrong with me?"
Zu An stepped forward, his gaze suddenly sharpening. Today, Jiang Luofu was wearing a pair of reflective flesh-colored stockings, her beautiful legs radiating a captivating glow. Adding to this, she was wearing decorative tortoiseshell glasses and a crisp uniform…
What a deadly enchantress!
He quickly composed himself and said in a deep voice, "As far as I know, Master Mingyue has been good to Principal Jiang all these years, and the Chu family has also donated a lot of money and materials to the academy every year. Now that the Chu family is in trouble, Principal Jiang, you are just standing by and doing nothing."
“I haven’t been at Bright Moon Academy for long, but I know that the academy values repaying kindness with kindness and returning favors. But what you’re doing now is a slap in the face to the academy. How will you have the confidence to teach students the principles of being a good person in the future?”
"Grandpa..." Chu Chuyan's heart jumped into her throat. She didn't expect the other party to speak so ruthlessly, but it was too late to stop him.
Jiang Luofu narrowed her eyes, stood up, her tall figure not at all inferior to Zu An's, and her aura was even more dominant: "Very good, it's been a long time since anyone has dared to speak to me like this."
