Chapter 248 Love, Hate, and Revenge

Zhuo Hongli looked at Zhuo Yu, smiled, and said in a deep voice: "You know quite a lot."

Zhuo Yu immediately laughed and said, "Isn't it because Princess Kun is too famous in Chen State? Although she is no longer with us, people will talk about her endlessly, saying that there is no such stunningly beautiful and talented woman among the princesses of Chen State now."

Zhuo Hongli seemed very happy and said, "Yes, Princess Kun is indeed a remarkable woman. Back then, I was about your age and had just arrived at the capital of Chen State."

Zhuo Yu said: "Father, you also met Princess Kun. Were you also fascinated by her?"

"Ahem..." Zhuo Hongli seemed to have not expected Zhuo Yu to ask this, and immediately coughed awkwardly, "Nonsense, even if I have this idea, I am just a bad boy in the underworld, how can I have the qualifications to like the dignified Princess of Chen State."

Zhuo Yu accepted this excuse and nodded, "Yes, then godfather, please continue. What's the story?"

"It's you who interrupted me." Zhuo Hongli said unhappily.

Mo Yunzhu found it funny that these two father and son who had no blood relationship were both good at acting.

If you don’t know, you would think they have a deep relationship.

"Hey, godfather, have some tea, eat some snacks, and talk slowly." Zhuo Yu immediately put osmanthus cake in Zhuo Hongli's bowl, and then said to Mo Yunzhu, "Yunzhu, you should eat more too."

Mo Yunzhu nodded and started eating without any hesitation.

Zhuo Hongli ate a little and continued, "Back then, I went to Chen State with a pair of twin brothers. I met the twin brothers on the road. We encountered bandits at that time. If it weren't for the cooperation of the three of us, I'm afraid we would have died.

So later we became sworn brothers. I was the older brother, and the older one was called Xiao Lin, and the younger one was called Xiao Feng. "

Mo Yunzhu's heart trembled. Xiao Feng was her biological father. She didn't expect that he and Zhuo Hongli were sworn brothers.

But becoming sworn brothers with such a person is undoubtedly like inviting a wolf into its den and plotting against a tiger for its own good.

"It turns out that my godfather has two sworn brothers. I have never heard of them." Zhuo Yu sneered in his heart.

Zhuo Hong shook his head and said, "They are all gone. It's sad to talk about it, so I didn't tell you much."

Zhuo Yu nodded, and Zhuo Hongli continued: "The three of us brothers went to Yu Garden together and saw Princess Kun. Although the Xiao brothers are from the underworld, they came from a scholarly family in Chen State Town, so they are both civil and military.

The two brothers fell in love with Princess Kun at first sight, and she was also beautiful, so the three of us all attended the literary friendship event.

However, the adoptive father was incompetent and was eventually eliminated. The two brothers fought hard and finally became the young men appreciated by Princess Kun.

At that time, there were four other people that Princess Kun favored, a total of six young men.”

When Zhuo Hongli said this, his eyes drooped, making it impossible to see what he was thinking.

However, Zhuo Yu and Mo Yunzhu did not believe that he must be one of the six people, but neither of them said anything, but wanted to listen with great interest.

Zhuo Hongli suddenly turned his head and looked out the window, while continuing: "Princess Kun didn't say who she liked among the six people, she just said she wanted to make friends. So the six people often traveled with Princess Kun and helped Princess Kun do things for the people.

Especially when disasters occurred, Princess Kun would bring the six people to distribute porridge and comfort the people. They were loved by the people, and the six people who followed them became famous in a short time.

During that time, the two brothers followed Princess Kun to do things every day. That was their happiest time. Of course, the six young men all wanted to be princesses’ consorts.

After all, it's hard not to be attracted to such an outstanding and kind woman.

Everyone lived in peace for a long time, and everyone showed off in front of Princess Kun, hoping to win the princess' favor.

Of the two brothers in the Xiao family, Xiao Lin was good at business. In order to please the princess, he often offered gold and jewelry to help the common people. Every time Princess Kun praised him happily, so Xiao Lin thought that Princess Kun should like him the most.

Xiao Feng is a low-key person who doesn't talk much, but he is very talented. He is the one who does all the writing and painting, and because of these things, Xiao Feng and Princess Kun spend more time together than the other five people."

Zhuo Hongli paused here, and Mo Yunzhu noticed that his little finger began to tremble again. It was obvious that his emotions were fluctuating violently, and he was trying hard to control himself.

"Does that mean Xiao Feng finally becomes the princess consort?" Zhuo Yu looked at Zhuo Hongli and asked.

Zhuo Hongli turned to look at Zhuo Yu, then forced a smile and said, "Yes, Xiao Feng and Princess Kun had already fallen in love with each other without knowing when, but the others didn't know it at first, and Xiao Lin was even less aware of it.

He always thought that Princess Kun was very good to him. There was even one time when Xiao Lin got drunk and kissed Princess Kun on the face. Although Princess Kun was a little angry, she didn't pursue the matter in the end. So Xiao Lin felt that Princess Kun liked him even more. "

Zhuo Hongli paused here, slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip, and Zhuo Yu immediately filled it up again for him.

"Later, Xiao Lin confessed his love to Princess Kun, and thought that Princess Kun would agree, but unexpectedly, Princess Kun rejected him directly and told him that the person she liked had always been Xiao Feng.

Xiao Lin found it unbelievable and felt betrayed. He was very angry and went to find Xiao Feng to ask him if it was true.

Finally, Xiao Feng admitted it and said that he actually knew that his brother also liked the princess, so he never dared to say it out loud. But because of this, Xiao Lin felt like a fool and had always been a laughing stock to them.

However, Xiao Lin really likes Princess Kun and is willing to do anything for her, so he begs Xiao Feng, hoping that Xiao Feng can give up Princess Kun and withdraw voluntarily.

Xiao Feng did withdraw, and Xiao Lin was very happy. He continued to stay with Princess Kun. Even though Princess Kun ignored him, he was still very happy.

He believed that one day Princess Kun would see his goodness and be willing to be with him.

But no one expected that one day when Xiao Lin went to Yu Garden, he saw Princess Kun and Xiao Feng together..."

When Zhuo Hongli said this, the corners of his mouth curled up in a sinister arc, but he himself didn't seem to notice it.

Suddenly he looked up at Zhuo Yu and Mo Yunzhu and said, "What do you think, did Xiao Feng do the right thing in this matter? Since he promised Xiao Lin to withdraw, why did he secretly get together with the princess?"

Zhuo Yu and Mo Yunzhu were both startled, and then Zhuo Yu frowned and said, "Actually, Xiao Lin is a little too persistent. After all, Princess Kun doesn't like him. He asked Xiao Feng to withdraw, which is actually unfair to both Xiao Feng and the princess."

Zhuo Hongli's old face tensed instantly, but Mo Yunzhu frowned and said, "I think Xiao Feng was wrong in this matter. If he loved Princess Kun so much, he shouldn't have given in."
