The not-so-big hall suddenly became extremely quiet.
Fu Tong'er was startled, then said as if lecturing a younger generation: "I told you not to make your Ninth Uncle angry... You got yelled at, right? Ninth Master, don't be angry. Prince Hui is a younger generation, young and full of vigor."
"Yeah." Lu Zhenzhi responded, looking like the head of the family.
King Hui listened to Fu Tong'er's tone and was furious: What a tone this damn girl has! Before the divorce, she's already acting like an elder and trying to mediate! Besides, what's the meaning of youthful vigor? No matter what, she's five years older than this girl. Damn girl, she's still a little girl, and she's putting on airs!
But seeing that the Ninth Prince was already frowning, King Hui didn't dare to say another word. He could only eat in silence without saying anything back.
After the meal, Lu Zhenzhi put down his chopsticks and said, "My nephew, please deal with the used dishes yourself."
Fu Tong'er said: "Uh, uh, Jiu Ye is right. King Hui, just take the bowl and chopsticks with you."
"You two are singing the same tune, aren't you? And, Fu Tong'er, do you really dislike me so much?"
Fu Tong'er was still eating, and while she was eating she said, "Qiao'er let you in today because I didn't discipline the girl well enough. There won't be a next time."
As she spoke, she put down her chopsticks and reached for the spoon for the fish soup. Lu Zhenzhi reached out and brought the fish soup to her.
King Hui wanted to say something but he held it back, muttering to himself, this damn girl is not disabled, does she need to be taken care of like this?
Fu Tong'er poured the fish soup, took a sip, and continued, "I really don't like you coming here. I've already made my attitude clear to you, and you're still here, fooling around and thinking I'll come back. Where does your confidence come from? If I say something harsh, you'll feel embarrassed, and if I say something superficial, you'll think I'm playing hard to get with you."
At this point, Fu Tong'er turned her head to look into King Hui's eyes and said seriously, "I don't want to play hard to get with you. You are indeed a noble prince, but not all girls should revolve around you. You are not the center of the world, you know."
Fu Tong'er took a small bite of rice and said calmly, "If you still think it's possible, that I'm still here for you... Hehe, I'll tell you this. I'll tell you everything today."
King Hui held his chopsticks and looked at Fu Tong'er, the girl who had lived with him for half a year, who was as calm as water.
Lu Zhenzhi folded his arms and sat silently beside Fu Tong'er, listening. His tall figure, in silence, was like a mountain, towering over the old house.
"Three years ago, before I married you, I met someone. Your Highness, listen carefully. You've been asking about that person, haven't you? Today, I'll tell you and put an end to your thoughts."
Three years ago... Lu Zhenzhi narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard these three words.
"I was being chased that day and he saved me." Fu Tong'er paused for a moment, chewed the food and swallowed it.
"I didn't see clearly what he looked like." Fu Tong'er picked up a piece of radish and put it in the bowl.
"But I remember his back, and your back looked a bit like him, so I married you. But you are not him, I know that. I know that very well. He is taller than you, and... and,"
Fu Tong'er's voice was a little choked.
Lu Zhenzhi leaned his elbows on the table, staring intently at Fu Tong'er, whose eyes were slightly red.
King Hui sneered, "And? Humph, and you can't forget him! You keep thinking about him! You love him! You love a man you've never even met!"
Fu Tong'er's nose was sore when she was touched by the words. She couldn't help but feel misty in front of her eyes. The stubbornness in her bones immediately raised her head -
"With you..." Fu Tong'er had just opened her mouth when tears rolled down her face, wetting the snow-white fur collar at her neck. She took a deep breath and said firmly, "It has nothing to do with you! Even without him, the things you've done, the hurt you've caused me, have made me utterly disappointed in you!"
King Hui snorted and said, "So, that jade ring belongs to that man? How long are you going to stay?"
