Chu Chuyan: "..."
This was the first time she had heard of this reason. Her father was truly amazing; he had even managed to steal away a prospective imperial concubine.
I was wondering why the Emperor had been targeting our Chu family all these years; it turns out there was this factor at play.
Noticing the slight upturn of her lips, Qin Zheng became even more dissatisfied: "What are you laughing at? Having daughters is really a money-losing business. Your mother was like that, and so are you!"
Chu Chuyan knew he was just angry at her for not living up to her expectations and didn't mean any harm, so she quickly helped him sit down: "Grandpa, have a cup of tea to calm down."
Qin Zheng took the tea and moistened her throat: "You used to have a cold face towards everyone, but now you've actually learned to flatter others for that Zuan guy. I want to see what kind of person that guy really is."
Chu Chuyan was overjoyed: "Grandpa, you've agreed to save him?"
Qin Zheng shook her head: "What kind of person is the Emperor? Who can save someone if he wants them dead? Besides, it's not just the Emperor who wants him dead."
Chu Chuyan's expression changed slightly. Just as she was about to ask more questions, Qin Zheng flicked her finger and sealed her acupoints: "Someone, take Miss away. She is not allowed to step out of her room for the next few days."
"Grandpa!" Chu Chuyan exclaimed in surprise, but no matter how much she pleaded, Qin Zheng remained unmoved.
After everyone left, Qin Zheng stood up and looked in the direction of the palace, sighing softly: "Back then, your mother was too soft-hearted and ruined her life. This time, I will never repeat the same mistake."
Meanwhile, Zu'an was meditating and cultivating in his room when the door was suddenly kicked open. He opened his eyes abruptly, but was immediately stunned.
I originally thought it would be some burly assassin, but instead a young man dressed in fine clothes entered. He had red lips and white teeth, a slender figure, and looked somewhat frail, but this perfectly matched his overall temperament. The image of a refined and elegant gentleman in a turbulent world immediately won people's hearts.
If this were in my past life, it would have been the heart of countless girls' youth in school, and even top-tier celebrities would have to take a backseat.
After arriving in this world, the most handsome person Zuan saw besides looking in the mirror was Xie Xiu. But he never expected that there would be someone in this world who was even more handsome and more like a woman than Xie Xiu.
He glanced at his chest instinctively; it was flat and unremarkable.
Looking at his throat again, I could vaguely see his Adam's apple.
Zuan curled his lip. It's not a woman dressed as a man, how boring.
The boy had initially been eyeing him with some curiosity, but noticing the other's aggressive gaze, he became annoyed: "Where are you looking with those dog eyes of yours? I don't know what my sister saw in you!"
