But none of this can be brought up in public. Yet the other party said to my face that he and Zheng Dan had just been intimate. Isn't that going too far?
Seeing the changes in his expression, Zu'an said with a smile, "How about I call Chu Yan out to meet you? We're all acquaintances anyway."
Sang Hong's expression changed, and he hurriedly said, "No need, no need."
Sang Qian quickly added, "I'm sorry to bother you. How about we come another day?"
As she spoke, she made a move to leave. If Zheng Dan were to come out, she wouldn't know how to handle the situation.
My father is old; if he saw this scene, he would be so angry that he would have a stroke.
But Zu'an wouldn't let it go: "Hey, of course I have to see her, otherwise I'll think it's your sister-in-law here."
As he spoke, he went behind the screen and pulled Zheng Dan out.
Zheng Dan's mind went blank.
What is he going to do?
"Why did you make me meet with the Sang family father and daughter?"
"Oh no, I'm so ashamed to face anyone now."
...
However, the angry shouts or mockery she had imagined did not come; the entire room became completely silent.
After all, she had once been the leader of a gang in the underworld of Bright Moon City. She made up her mind that this matter had to be resolved eventually, so she might as well take this opportunity.
However, before she could speak, she saw the Sang father and daughter staring at her in shock: "So it really is Miss Chu. My daughter and I were rude just now, please forgive us."
Zheng Dan: "???"
Zuan patted her hand: "We're all friends, there's no need to be so formal. What brings you here, Lord Sang?"
Zheng Dan sat down beside him, completely bewildered. Countless thoughts flashed through her mind. Why did the Sang family father and daughter call her Miss Chu? Were they hiding their conflict and putting on an act to appease Zu An? Ugh, so embarrassing! She wanted to disappear into the ground.
"I mainly came to visit you and bring you some medicine to heal your wounds," Sang Hong said, calling out to his daughter.
Sang Qian then came to her senses and hurriedly handed over the prepared gift: "This bottle of Thousand-Year Snow Toad Essence is a rare treasure that my father obtained by chance many years ago. It has miraculous effects on healing injuries and nourishing the body. Brother Zu, please take good care of yourself."
She felt a little strange. Why was Miss Chu silent? And judging from her expression, she seemed a little different from the one she had seen before.
Noticing the strange look in her eyes, Zu'an smiled and said, "Sister Qian'er, your fair wrists are even whiter than those of the thousand-year-old snow toad spirit."
Sang Qian blushed instantly and withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted, her attention indeed diverted.
"What a reckless fool."
"Who is your sister Qian'er?"
"Did you think I was as easy to fool as my sister-in-law?"
...
She kept muttering to herself in secret.
Upon seeing this, Sang Hong looked at him strangely, thinking that he had already given away a daughter-in-law, so did he have to give away his daughter as well?
He coughed lightly: "Auntie, do you know why the Emperor didn't publicly hold Prince Qi accountable this time?"
He was worried that calling him "Grandpa" or "Nephew" would be offensive, so he directly called him "Grandpa" to get closer to him.
Sang Qian clearly understood her father's thoughts. She glanced at him and then lowered her head again.
Zu An laughed and said, "Lord Sang, I don't understand what you're saying. Why is the Emperor questioning Prince Qi?"
Sang Hong smiled and said, "I know you have concerns, but you have done our family a great favor. We, the Sang family, are only grateful to you and have always been thinking about how to repay you. Moreover, in the capital city today, various forces are deeply intertwined, and people like us with no background should unite and help each other."
Although he didn't know exactly what happened in the secret realm, it wasn't hard to guess that King Qi must have made a move there, and the fact that Zu'an and the Crown Prince and Crown Princess came out in the end proved that his plan had failed.
Seeing that he had put it this way, Zu'an stopped pretending: "Uncle Sang, please don't be offended. I am now walking on thin ice in the capital, and I can only be careful with every step I take."
Hearing him call him "uncle," Zheng Dan couldn't help but roll her eyes. Just a few months ago, the two were mortal enemies, fighting to the death. Now they were as close as family. This world is truly amazing.
Sang Hong said, "We don't have any irreconcilable conflicts. On the contrary, there are many things we can do together, so we need to be of one mind and work together even more."
He used to be a loyal and devoted minister to the emperor, but a sudden change of events led to the death of his only son, all because the emperor abandoned him without hesitation. He realized that continuing to be a loyal minister was meaningless, which is why he decided to change his ways.
Unfortunately, in previous years, as a loyal subject, he offended too many nobles, and the capital city could hardly tolerate him anymore.
But Zu'an is different. He is a rising star with the Chu family behind him and seems to have a good relationship with the National Academy. More importantly, the two sides went through thick and thin on their journey to the capital and have established a relatively solid friendship to some extent. Therefore, he is a very worthwhile investment target.
Zheng Dan, standing to the side, was somewhat surprised. The other party's statement was already very sincere, and even though he had clearly seen her, he still cooperated in the act, obviously tacitly approving of their relationship. She felt both happy and grateful, as well as guilty. She subconsciously looked at Zu An, her eyes filled with pleading. She also hoped that Zu An and the Sang family would maintain a good relationship.
Zu An pondered for a moment and then smiled slightly: "I benefited greatly from your guidance on the situation in the capital on the way there. I will definitely need your help in the future."
