Zhizhi still didn’t know that Shen Jingzhi was actually connected to the Hu Mansion.
Uncle Yang spoke slowly and in a sad tone,
"I only found out recently. Two years ago, my master went north to open up trade routes in the northern frontier, but was ambushed by a shady dealer. He was injured and had to flee back to the nearest Ning County. Master Shen was studying in the county at the time and enthusiastically rescued my master. My master mentioned it to me once, and I only remembered it when I saw Master Shen's name and hometown."
Because of this incident, Hu Cheng was very grateful and felt that Shen Jingzhi was born extraordinary. He forced him to give most of the Hu family shops to him, but Shen Jingzhi refused.
After saying that, he looked at Zhizhi with complicated eyes. She was the wife that the master personally married, but Master Shen was the master's savior.
He lowered his head, hunched over and knelt down to apologize for his presumptuous behavior at the door just now.
Zhizhi said frankly,
"He asked me to stay at his house, and I agreed."
Uncle Yang was speechless.
Zhizhi didn't want to bother him, so she just said,
"After I leave, the Hu Mansion will be fully under your control."
She made the final decision and would not allow Uncle Yang to refuse.
It's late at night.
Chen Jingzhi's eyes showed concern, and when he saw that Zhizhi was safe and sound, the stone in his heart finally put down half.
"Zhizhi, those people didn't hurt you today, did they?"
Shen Jingzhi's eyes showed concern, and there was deep worry in his eyes.
It's no wonder he was so nervous. In order to set up this plan, he racked his brains and used all the resources at his disposal time and time again.
Finally, he had her.
If Zhizhi wasn't safe in his arms at this moment, Shen Jingzhi didn't dare to think about what he would do!
Shen Jingzhi's murderous intent was rolling wildly in his heart towards the Hu family couple, but now was not the time.
He exhaled deeply and stroked Zhizhi's hair that fell on her shoulders bit by bit.
"Just wait until you move into the Chen residence. Didn't we agree on how to decorate your house last time? We can gradually present everything you want..."
He spoke with genuine emotion, and Zhizhi listened boredly.
He yawns from time to time.
I rolled my eyes secretly, Shen Jingzhi is really talkative!
I can’t imagine if she gave birth to a chatterbox who bothered her all day long. She would probably explode.
However, the future situation was completely opposite to what Zhizhi had imagined. The cold and arrogant look of the cold-faced and icy-looking boy often made her wonder if he was questioning her intelligence.
Zhizhi was distracted when she heard Shen Jingzhi's careful instructions.
"...Try not to go out recently. If there's any jewelry you want, just tell me."
Zhizhi was a little annoyed. She suddenly pushed away Shen Jingzhi who was muttering to herself angrily and said,
"Only my parents grounded me, how dare you ground me?"
She didn't want to go out, but Shen Jingzhi couldn't stop her from going out!
Shen Jingzhi's voice faltered, and then he held his forehead and explained,
"Do you still remember Wen Lanzhu from Xiahe Village?"
This tone—
Zhizhi blinked, moved closer to him to listen to the gossip, and stared at him with her bright eyes.
Shen Jingzhi, “…this is what happened.”
He told a long story.
In short, Wen Lanzhu wanted to marry the third prince, but the Marquis of Zhenguo refused madly and even suppressed her and prevented her from leaving the house.
Hearing this, Zhizhi glanced quickly at Shen Jingzhi, but Shen Jingzhi continued without changing his expression.
"...In order to successfully marry the Third Prince, she blatantly drugged him at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, and by chance, the incident was discovered. Now, everyone in the capital knows that the two are secretly pregnant, and the Zhenguo Marquisate is forced to hold their noses and agree to let them be together."
Zhizhi scratched her head.
"Aren't they in love with each other? Why did Wen Lanzhu drug them?"
Besides, Zhizhi believed that Wen Yuzhu would not be able to do such a low-level method as drugging.
This character has a high IQ in the plot, and finally marries the second son of a marquis, with a happy ending.
The Wen Lanzhu described by Shen Jingzhi was completely different.
She was keen on being in the limelight and maneuvered among several princes and nobles. In the end, she won the favor of the third prince, but encountered many obstacles and caused a disaster in her haste.
Shen Jingzhi was silent for a moment and said,
"This morning, the Third Prince sneaked out of the young lady's bedroom in the Marquis Zhenguo Mansion and was accidentally spotted."
Um?
Zhizhi, why does it sound familiar?
Shen Jingzhi, who kept his achievements and fame to himself, certainly did not feel that he was vindictive.
"And last night, the Emperor just arranged a marriage for the Third Prince, and the host of the Hundred Flowers Banquet was the future Crown Prince's concubine."
If Wen Lanzhu hadn't interfered, she would have been the Crown Princess.
Zhizhi realized belatedly that the melon was a bit big, and suddenly reacted, looking at Shen Jingzhi,
"How did you know this?"
Didn’t this person just come out of the examination room a few days ago?
Being stared at suspiciously by Zhizhi, Shen Jingzhi paused for a moment and slowly blinked. Zhizhi felt that he was being cute.
Chen Jingzhi looked at the beauty under the light, and for the moment put aside the likes of Wen Lanzhu and the Third Prince. He rolled his Adam's apple with emotion and said in a hoarse voice,
"Zhizhi, I miss you..."
Zhizhi rolled her eyes at him and turned around to wrap herself in the quilt and go to sleep.
"Don't think about it, go to sleep!"
Shen Jingzhi was not discouraged. After Zhizhi fell asleep, he carefully held her in his arms and adjusted her position to a comfortable position for her to rest her head on.
·
I guess the storm is really coming.
When Zhizhi heard Ajiu go out to buy snacks, she complained that there were more soldiers on the streets and passersby were searched when they passed by.
Ajiu told Zhizhi,
"Everyone is saying that the Third Prince is planning a rebellion, so now he is staying at his residence and not going out. Everyone is scolding him for not daring to come out."
