"Master Jiu hesitated."
Lu Zhenzhi had a smile on his face. This girl was really too young to tell him everything.
"What are you laughing at, Master Jiu?" Fu Tong'er felt uncomfortable when she saw Lu Zhenzhi looking at her as if he were a child.
"The girl is still young. I will wait for you for another two years." Lu Zhenzhi supported his chin with his index finger, a doting smile on the corner of his mouth.
"What do you mean, Master Jiu? You don't want to take responsibility, right? You just ran away after touching my body, right?"
Lu Zhenzhi held Fu Tong'er in his arms and said softly, "I don't know your identity. If you are really the daughter of a wealthy family, it would be a good thing for you to marry me."
Fu Tong'er was startled, she sat up straight and looked up: "Didn't you say Xiao Pu was coming back?"
Lu Zhenzhi said: "Vice-General Xiao did not mention your information in the letter."
Fu Tong'er could no longer eat, and thought to herself, after saying so much just now, would this man set his sights on her?
Lu Zhenzhi, already mature and experienced, began to make plans after hearing Fu Tong'er's words. This girl said she had the might of the Dian Kingdom behind her. Perhaps she really was Prime Minister Fu's daughter. A marriage between the two families would be beneficial to his cause.
"Tong'er," Lu Zhenzhi lowered his voice and whispered into Fu Tong'er's ear, "In my early years, I was sent as an envoy to Dian Kingdom and fought against Prime Minister Fu. I believe you were only a few years old at that time. Oh, I didn't expect that my wife was there."
Fu Tong'er almost dropped her chopsticks and stammered, "Jiu, Jiu Ye, go check it yourself."
The man noticed that the girl stuttered when she was nervous and lied. He couldn't help but stroke her fair and tender face. The touch was really wonderful.
"How could Prime Minister Fu allow his legitimate daughter to marry the unfavored King Hui?"
Fu Tong'er fell silent and ate quietly, her heart beating fast. She was worried that if King Hui knew her identity, he would not allow her to divorce.
I asked Qiao'er to write a letter to Dad a long time ago, why is there still no reply after so long?
Seeing Fu Tong'er's uneasiness, Lu Zhenzhi asked, "Tong'er, are you worried that I'm going to take over your family's power?"
Fu Tong'er was stunned. She was thinking about something else and didn't hear clearly: "What did Jiu Ye say? Sorry, I was just thinking about King Hui-"
"Prince Hui?" Lu Zhenzhi frowned. He wasn't listening to him, but was actually thinking about Prince Hui. "I can send someone to invite him."
"Huh? Huh? What?"
"The girl didn't listen again?" Lu Zhenzhi felt angry.
Fu Tong'er thought, Xiaopu has been gone for a few days and is now on his way back, but he has also sent a letter, so why is there no response at all? This shouldn't be!
If Daddy doesn't send anyone, how can I divorce King Hui? Do I really need to ask for help from Master Jiu? Putting aside the question of whether to ask Master Jiu or not, it's unusual for there to be no response to the letter. Didn't Qiao'er write?
Impossible—
What is the reason!
Lu Zhenzhi kept looking at Fu Tong'er, who was lost in thought. She had no intention of paying any attention to him, and he felt even worse. Does this girl miss King Hui so much?
"Tong'er!" Lu Zhenzhi emphasized his tone.
"Ah? What happened to Master Jiu?" Fu Tong'er only then noticed the anger in the man's eyes. "Master Jiu, what did you say just now?"
"How about I invite him over?"
"who?"
Lu Zhenzhi didn't say anything else, but just looked at Fu Tong'er's big watery eyes silently.
"Who is Master Jiu inviting?" Fu Tong'er asked again.
Lu Zhenzhi still didn't speak. Fu Tong'er put down her chopsticks and leaned into the man's chest: "What's wrong, Master Jiu? Why aren't you talking? Don't be like this, it's a bit scary."
"What were you thinking about just now?" Lu Zhenzhi didn't hug Fu Tong'er this time, but let her act coquettishly in his arms.
"Just now, just now, uh, nothing." Fu Tong'er stuttered whenever she lied. "Master Jiu, why...why didn't you hug me...?"
Lu Zhenzhi pushed Fu Tong'er away, stood up, and ran his fingertips over the emerald white crane hairpin on her bun, making a tinkling sound.
Fu Tong'er, who noticed something was wrong, immediately dropped her chopsticks, stood up, and hugged the man from the side: "What's wrong with Master Jiu?"
"I have something else to do." Lu Zhenzhi put down the little hand on his waist and turned away without looking back.
"Master Jiu!" Fu Tong'er was panicked for a moment. What did she do wrong?
She chased after him and hugged him on the stairs: "Master Jiu, don't you want me anymore?"
"I see you still have feelings for me." Lu Zhenzhi pulled Fu Tong'er's hand away, "There's something else. If you miss King Hui, I'll send someone to invite him immediately."
At this time, Qiao'er, who was upstairs, heard these words and hurried down. When she was about to meet Jiu Ye, she slowed down, glanced at Jiu Ye quickly, and hurried down to help Fu Tong'er: "Miss, what's wrong?"
Fu Tong'er took a deep breath, turned around and walked towards the prison.
Qiao'er glanced at Jiu Ye and ran down the stairs to catch up with Fu Tong'er.
"He's so inexplicable," Fu Tong'er said. "He knows I have no feelings for King Hui, yet he still says that. He must be so busy that he's lost his mind."
Qiao'er glanced back at Master Jiu and saw he hadn't left yet. Perhaps her daughter was the only one in the world who dared to speak like that about the Regent.
"He hasn't left yet, miss." Qiao'er said in a low voice.
"What are you afraid of!" Fu Tong'er shouted, "I won't spoil him! He's in a bad mood and wants to leave when he wants to. Do you expect me to stay again and again? I haven't even married him yet, and he's already turned his back on me. If I marry him, he'll ride on my head! In this world, how can he be considered a man?"
Lu Zhenzhi: “…”
The man was originally angry, but now, he was helpless. When he rescued her, he saw her delicate and pitiful appearance, and his heart was filled with pity. He thought she was as well-behaved as her appearance, but he didn't expect that she would be deceived by her appearance!
What was even worse was that he actually liked her. When she was quiet, she was charming and beautiful, making people love her deeply; when she was active, she made people love and hate her at the same time... After a tiring day, listening to this girl chattering around him was also a pleasure.
Never mind, he did have a social engagement soon, so he could only accompany that girl for a short while...
Qiao'er smiled and whispered, "Miss, you are ambitious." When she looked again, Jiu Ye had already left.
But unexpectedly, that man was already trying to force Emperor Jing of Yan to issue an edict to agree to the divorce between Fu Tong'er and King Hui...
