The overthrow of the Mongols was the credit of all the people in the world. Zhang Wuji's words once again won over a wave of people's hearts.
Not only his own officials, but even Liu Bowen and others had some respect for him.
…
The alliance between the two parties began with mutual sarcasm and ended with Zhang Wuji's frank words.
As for the banquet specially arranged for Liu Bowen afterwards, there is no need to say more, it was all full of false words.
However, the thing Liu Bowen was most worried about did not happen.
Before he met Zhang Wuji, he was still worried that he would hold on to the past events, but from beginning to end, Zhang Wuji did not mention a single word about the previous battle between their two families.
…
That night, Zhang Wuji stayed in Zhou Zhiruo's room.
However, this time, it was not Zhang Wuji who took the initiative, but Zhou Zhiruo, ignoring the contemptuous looks of her other sisters, insisted on dragging Zhang Wuji into her room.
During this period, Zhu'er humiliated her.
If it were according to Zhou Zhiruo's previous temper, she would definitely have a good argument with her, but today, Zhou Zhiruo was not in the mood for that.
…
In the room, a faint fragrance wafted into the air. There was no way around it, the place where Zhou Zhiruo had lived was like this, her body scent was everywhere.
Before Zhang Wuji could speak, Zhou Zhiruo spoke first: "My enemy, please listen to my explanation."
Zhang Wuji was stunned when he heard this, but then he understood what Zhou Zhiruo wanted to explain to her.
What Zhou Zhiruo wanted to explain was what happened between him and Zhao Min. Zhou Zhiruo wanted to say that she was not the one who spread this matter.
As for why Liu Bowen said that before, she naturally didn't know.
Sure enough, just as Zhang Wuji thought, Zhou Zhiruo said, "My dear, if I tell you that I have never told anyone about what happened between you and Zhao Min, would you believe it?"
Under the red candles in the room, he saw Zhou Zhiruo's slightly nervous expression.
Suddenly, Zhang Wuji felt like teasing her.
Zhang Wuji said: "Zhiruo, I accept it, you are my most beloved woman."
"I know that something that shouldn't have happened between Zhao Min and me. It's not surprising that you are angry with me for this. As for you spreading this matter, I don't intend to blame you. It's because I love you so deeply."
Zhou Zhiruo said angrily: "My enemy, you are talking nonsense. I am not discussing with you whether you should blame me or not. I am discussing with you whether you believe me or not."
"I just want to ask you one thing, do you believe that I didn't spread the story about you and Zhao Min?"
Zhang Wuji said: "Zhiruo, what's the point of you saying these things now? I have already said that I don't blame you. What else do you want? Anyway, the news has been spread out. What Liu Bowen and I said in the Daming Hall today will probably be known to the world in a few days."
Zhou Zhiruo was really a little angry: "Zhang Wuji, you didn't answer my question directly. I know you have me in your heart, but there are some things we still have to make clear. That is, do you believe what I said? I said that I did not spread rumors about you and Zhao Min."
"If you believe me, I will continue to stay with you. If you dare not believe me, I will run away from home immediately, right now, and no one can stop me."
…
Looking at Zhou Zhiruo's serious expression, Zhang Wuji just laughed in his heart, "It turns out that women are quite interesting when they are serious."
"What Liu Bowen said in the Daming Hall was obviously a fabricated lie, and it just happened to coincide with what Zhang Wuji did."
"No one took it seriously, except Zhou Zhiruo herself."
Zhang Wuji said, "Zhiruo, I can selectively believe you, but regarding this matter, you said you didn't tell anyone, so how did Liu Bowen know about it?"
Zhou Zhiruo gently hit Zhang Wuji on the shoulder and said, "My enemy, what do you mean by selective belief? Selective belief means you don't believe it."
"What I want is for you to believe in me from the bottom of your heart."
Zhang Wuji hesitated for a moment: "Zhiruo, as for this matter, if you want me to believe you from the bottom of my heart, it's not impossible, but you have to prove yourself first."
Zhou Zhiruo said: "Okay, you tell me how to prove it. Today I want to get to the point. If I can't prove my innocence, I will run away from home."
After hearing this, Zhang Wuji felt secretly happy.
He gently held Zhou Zhiruo in his arms: "Zhiruo, in fact, it is very easy for a woman to prove her innocence to a man. You should know a little about the secret."
"Tonight, the harder you work, the more you can prove your innocence."
…
From Zhang Wuji's obscene gaze, Zhou Zhiruo seemed to realize what he was going to do next.
Zhou Zhiruo quickly said: "My enemy, what do you mean? I don't want to prove my innocence in the way you said. I want to use my own way."
Zhang Wuji smiled and picked her up: "That won't do. If you want to prove your innocence to me, you can only do it the way I want."
…
Zhou Zhiruo was still saying no, no, but unfortunately, it was too late.
If you want to prove your innocence, you always have to pay a price.
…
After this incident, even at noon the next day, Zhou Zhiruo still looked at Zhang Wuji with resentful eyes.
