Zheng Dan trembled slightly; her mind was completely blank.
She sacrificed her marital happiness for the sake of the Zheng family.
But now this marriage has not only failed to bring benefits to the Zheng family, but has also brought them inexplicable risks.
Moreover, she felt embarrassed by what her father had just said. Although she knew that the other party was doing it for the Zheng family, it was still too much. Even if the Zheng family survived this ordeal in the end, their reputation would be completely ruined.
When she saw the guards coming to lock her up, she frowned. After all, she had once been one of the two major underworld figures in Linchuan County. She subconsciously wanted to resist, but then she thought, even if she could leave, could so many members of the Zheng family leave?
Besides, with a grandmaster like King Liang here, how could he possibly let her leave?
Just then, a figure blocked the way of the guards: "Wait!"
Even though it was just a glimpse of his back, she recognized him at a glance, after all, she was quite familiar with her man's body.
"Who are you?" King Liang glanced at him, a hint of contempt flashing in his eyes. He was only barely above the fifth rank, the difference between him and King Liang was like the difference between clouds and rainbows.
“Who I am is not important; what matters is reason,” Zuan replied.
Xie Daoyun, standing to the side and behind, secretly spat out: "You still say you two have nothing to do with each other!"
If she had only made a casual guess before, now she was genuinely suspicious.
After all, the Zheng family and the Chu family have always been enemies, and Zu'an and the Sang family also have a feud. He really had no reason to jump out and speak up for Zheng Dan.
Is it because the two had a teacher-student relationship at school?
Who would believe that!
However, seeing that he could still speak fluently in the face of the pressure from a grandmaster, Xie Daoyun was still full of admiration. She asked herself if she were in his shoes, she would definitely not be able to speak fluently.
Little did she know that Zu'an had already met countless grandmasters and powerful figures.
King Liang sneered, "Reason? I wonder what reason you have?"
Even the Sang family father and son couldn't help but look at him, wondering why he would speak up for them.
Zu An said, "Your Highness just said that Miss Zheng is a member of the Sang family, but I cannot agree with that. There are hundreds of guests present, and everyone saw that Miss Zheng and Sang Qian only bowed to Heaven and Earth and their parents, but did not exchange vows as husband and wife. Strictly speaking, the ceremony was not completed, so Miss Zheng is naturally not a member of the Sang family. Moreover, the Zheng family clearly has the intention to break off the engagement. Patriarch Zheng, am I right?"
Zheng Yutang nodded hurriedly and said, "That's right, my daughter won't marry, she won't marry."
"You!" Sang Qian, standing to the side, was furious. The Sang family had already suffered enough misfortune today, and the Zheng family's move was just kicking them while they were down!
He not only hated the Zheng family, but also Zu'an.
Anger from Sang Qian: +999!
King Liang sneered: "Whether or not someone is a member of the Sang family is not up to you to decide. Since the formal betrothal and marriage ceremony are complete, and only the final step is missing, how can you say that someone is not a member of the Sang family? If we condone this behavior, others will follow suit, and marriage will become a child's play. Wouldn't our Great Zhou Dynasty be thrown into chaos in the future?"
Zu An frowned. It was clear that the other party did not intend to let Zheng Dan go. Given the status of the Zheng family, they were probably not qualified to offend a prince. The answer was simple: this Prince Liang had a grudge against the Sang family and intended to destroy them.
He couldn't help but glance at Sang Hong and his son. He thought only the Chu family disliked them, but he didn't expect so many people to hate them. How could people be so despicable?
Now the problem is getting complicated. How can we save Zheng Dan?
Or should we just say she's my woman?
However, this is too risky. Although it can garner some of Sang Qian's anger, it may not save Zheng Dan, and it could also ruin their reputations if they are not careful.
Just then, Zheng Dan's voice rang in his ears: "Grandpa, please don't expose our relationship, or I really won't be able to live. Even if I'm caught and taken to the capital now, I might not be in any danger. Besides, even death is better than bringing shame to the family. Please."
Zuan: "..."
Is this woman a mind reader? How could she guess what I'm thinking?
At this moment, Sang Qian couldn't stand it anymore: "Zu An, you and my wife are exchanging glances, what exactly is your relationship?"
Zu An thought to himself, "I dare say it, but I'm afraid you won't dare to listen. We've not only exchanged glances, but we've also been seen coming in and out of each other's rooms."
However, he still chose to respect Zheng Dan's opinion: "What kind of nonsense are you thinking with your filthy mind? Miss Zheng is my student. I don't want to see her implicated by you. Can't I even speak a few words of justice? You still have the nerve to treat her like your wife, as if you're afraid that people won't arrest her. How despicable!"
The surrounding guests whispered among themselves, and their gazes toward Sang Qian were somewhat strange.
Even though Zuan and the Zheng family have a long-standing feud, they still came out to speak up for you, but you insisted on dragging the Zheng family down with you. The difference in character is obvious.
Seeing the disdainful looks from everyone, Sang Qian was furious. What was wrong with me wanting to be with my wife? It was Zu An who came out and said a few words without any real concern and suddenly became a great philanthropist.
Anger from Sang Qian +1024!
Just then, the King of Liang's voice suddenly rang out: "Zu'an, is that the son-in-law of the Chu family?"
Noticing the other person's gaze on him, Zu An hurriedly returned the greeting: "Indeed, it is I. Greetings, Prince Liang."
He wondered if the King of Liang was targeting the Sang family as soon as he arrived, perhaps because he was one of the important court officials recorded in the Chu family's account book.
Chu Chuyan has connections in various parts of the capital, and it's possible that the Prince of Liang's visit to Mingyue City was due to her efforts, so it would be good to be polite and get closer to him.
