Chapter 84 I Want to Marry You
Song Anlan was stunned for a moment.
He didn't expect that Prince Chang'an was so deeply in love with Chunzhi that he was willing to marry a commoner woman despite his status as a prince.
Huo Zheng said, "Since you saved Chunzhi, I will not hold you accountable for the crime of hiding the treasure. However, Song Anlan, you'd better not use your schemes on me and Chunzhi."
Upon hearing this, Song Anlan was stunned for a long time before coming to his senses.
Huo Zheng didn't say anything more to him and got up to find Chunzhi.
Song Anlan sat in the hall for a long time before he picked up the teacup and took a sip of hot tea.
He underestimated Chunzhi's importance in Prince Chang'an's heart.
Chunzhi was talking to Song Wan'er at this time.
The two stayed in the room, sitting on the bed together. Song Wan'er hugged Chunzhi's arm, put her head on Chunzhi's shoulder, and said softly, "Sister, I thought you would never come back."
"How could that be?" Chunzhi said, "Our Wan'er is so kind, how could I bear not to come back?"
Song Wan'er was in a good mood after being coaxed by Chunzhi. After asking her how she had been doing these days, she asked her, "What's going on between you and that Prince Chang'an?"
Chunzhi said, "It's a long story."
"Then please tell me slowly, sister." Song Wan'er sat up straight at once, "I'm all ears."
She liked listening to Chunzhi talk about things happening outside the world the most.
Chunzhi began her story by telling the story from the moment she left the Lu family. "It was raining heavily that day. I left the Lu family and was pushing a cart back to Taohua Lane when I bumped into a man in front of the courtyard... He was seriously injured. I was afraid he'd die in front of my own house, leaving me with no explanation, so I had no choice but to take him home and treat his injuries..."
As Song Wan'er listened to Chunzhi's words, she felt as if she were there, immersed in the scenes.
When Huo Zheng came to the courtyard, he saw Chunzhi and Song Wan'er leaning against each other and talking through the window. The two were as intimate as real sisters, talking about the things that happened between her and him in Linshui Town.
He stopped at the window and listened to Chunzhi's soft voice.
During these days in the villa in the south of the city, he had never seen Chunzhi look so relaxed and casual.
It was like she was in her own tofu workshop.
"So, he's been lying to you?"
Song Wan'er would ask this question from time to time.
Haruji was silent for a moment.
She actually knew that Huo Zheng's identity was something that he couldn't tell others about when he was out in public.
It was only when she found out she was pregnant and heard Huo Zheng telling others that she was just a plaything that it was like a bolt from the blue. She wanted to keep the child and break up with Huo Zheng completely, so she left with a broken heart.
Now Huo Zheng explained to her that he had told Huo Yu that she was a plaything in order to protect her.
Chunzhi understood and no longer cared about it.
But the baby in her belly was about to be born, and it seemed that she could no longer hide it from Huo Zheng...
She was really afraid that Huo Zheng would snatch the child from her.
Whether Huo Zheng wanted to keep both her and the child by his side, or just the child, Chunzhi could not accept it.
The difference between their identities was like heaven and earth, and it was impossible for Huo Zheng to marry her.
Chunzhi knew this clearly.
Therefore, she decided to cut off the evil relationship between her and Huo Zheng as soon as possible.
Chunzhi originally thought that she had long forgotten what happened between her and Huo Zheng in Linshui Town.
But now when Song Wan'er asked her about it, she felt a little sad when she recalled those little things.
How great it would be if Huo Qi was not Huo Zheng.
She and Huo Qi also had a very good time together.
Song Wan'er was a little fascinated by what she heard.
Chunzhi was talking, but she couldn't go on.
Some memories are just too good.
When she didn't know that Huo Qi was the King of Chang'an, they cooked together and sold tofu together, just like the most ordinary couple in the world.
But now, the gap between our identities is as huge as a chasm.
Song Wan'er burst into tears just by listening to it, and she wiped her tears in front of Chunzhi.
Chunzhi handed a handkerchief to Song Wan'er, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Huo Zheng standing at the door. She paused and stopped talking.
Song Wan'er asked, "Then what? You two were so good, why did you leave Linshui Town and Luojiang was rescued by my brother?"
Huo Zheng stood outside the door and listened.
Chunzhi didn't say anything more, and wiped Song Wan'er's tears with a handkerchief, "Okay, don't cry, it's all in the past, let's not talk about it."
"How can I not mention it?" Song Wan'er wanted to listen more, she wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and when she looked up, she saw Huo Zheng standing outside the window.
She was a little afraid of Huo Zheng, but she was also angry that he had kidnapped her on the day of her brother and Chunzhi's wedding, leaving her without a sister-in-law.
Haruji must have refused to continue talking because he came.
Song Wan'er thought about this and stopped questioning Chunzhi. Instead, she stood up and asked her, "Are you hungry? I'll ask the kitchen to make you something delicious."
Chunzhi nodded, and Song Wan'er went out to instruct the kitchen to prepare food. She glared at Huo Zheng when she passed by him.
Huo Zheng was very imposing, and Song Wan'er was a little afraid of him. She glared at him and then ran away quickly.
Seeing this, the maids in the yard also retreated.
Huo Zheng and Chunzhi were the only two people left in the courtyard.
It was quiet all around.
In the twelfth lunar month, the red plum blossoms in the courtyard are in full bloom.
Huo Zheng picked a few red plum blossoms, walked into the house, and put them in a vase. He said to Chunzhi, "Are you happy to be back at the Song residence?"
Chunzhi was originally very happy, but when she saw him, she was not so happy anymore.
She originally didn't want to talk to Huo Zheng, but since he was alone with Young Master Song just now, she couldn't help but ask, "What did you say to Young Master Song?"
Huo Zheng walked slowly towards her, leaned over and asked, "Do you want to know?"
Chunzhi didn't want to be so close to him, so she stepped back a little, "Mr. Song is not in good health, please don't make things difficult for him."
"Don't call him An Lan anymore?" Huo Zheng said with a slight smile on his lips.
He knew that there was nothing between Chunzhi and Song Anlan.
Chunzhi paused slightly: "..."
She felt bad, the secret was exposed.
Chunzhi immediately changed the subject and asked, "What did you say to Anlan?"
Huo Zheng asked, "What do you think I will say to Song Anlan?"
Chunzhi is silent.
She didn't know what Huo Zheng would say to Song Anlan. This person often did things that were beyond her expectations.
Huo Zheng sat down next to Chunzhi and said to her in a low voice, "Song Anlan confessed to me."
Haruji's eyelashes trembled slightly, "W-what?"
Huo Zhengdao stared at Chunzhi and spoke clearly, "He said that the child in your belly is not his at all. He and you have nothing to do with each other, and there has been no transgression."
Chunzhi's heartbeat suddenly quickened. She didn't know whether what Huo Zheng said was true or false.
But the baby in her belly was definitely not Song Anlan's.
She had been lying to Huo Zheng from the very beginning.
Being exposed at this time, it is inevitable to feel panic.
Chunzhi wanted to stand up, but Huo Zheng held her shoulders down and asked, "What are you moving around for?"
Chunzhi leaned against the bedpost and whispered, "Don't get so close to me."
Huo Zheng refused to listen and insisted on holding Chunzhi in his arms. He said beside her, "Don't you want to know what I said to Song Anlan?"
Upon hearing this, Chunzhi immediately pricked up her ears.
"I told Song Anlan..." Huo Zheng looked at Chunzhi and said seriously, "I want to marry you."
