Just now, she almost put her hand on his chest.
It was only thanks to my strong willpower that I managed to hold back and leave in a hurry.
Otherwise, I'm afraid I'd be in trouble now...
She was hesitant to think about it, but in the end, she decided to return to the palace first and avoid seeing Luo Ziqian for the foreseeable future.
She wanted to calm herself down so that she wouldn't lose control and do something unbecoming of her status, which would frighten Luo Ziqian.
oops--
Princess Rongyang sighed.
How did she become like this?
She used to be able to control herself, but ever since her relationship with Luo Ziqian got better and better, she has become increasingly out of control.
She couldn't help but want to get close to Luo Ziqian, kiss him, and even take things further.
To reduce her symptoms, she had to refrain from seeing Luo Ziqian.
After all, she didn't want Luo Ziqian to think of her as a shameless woman.
Meanwhile, at the Luo residence...
After Luo Ziqian calmed down, he walked out with a dark face.
Seeing Luo Ziqian's appearance, Liu Sihua and Luo Kejin couldn't help but ask:
"What's wrong?"
What happened between you and Princess Rongyang?
"Why did she run away looking so frightened?"
Luo Ziqian sighed, having no idea how to explain.
Luo Kejin continued speaking.
"Ziqian, you should think this through. If you want to marry a princess in the future, it means you will have to give up the court."
Liu Sihua, standing to the side, nodded in agreement.
Luo Ziqian was certainly aware of these things.
He glanced at Liu Sihua before continuing:
"Father, I will handle these matters. The most important thing now is to explain why you went to the brothel yesterday!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Sihua immediately turned her head and stared intently at Luo Kejin.
He gave me a look that said, "You almost fooled me again."
Luo Kejin: ...
He stared at Luo Ziqian; if he hadn't lost the note, he would have definitely hit Luo Ziqian.
A moment later.
Luo Kejin's mouth was dry from explaining.
"I really didn't lie. I really was summoned by Jiang Qingshan."
"Jiang Qingshan?"
Luo Ziqian spoke.
"Is it the eldest son of the Jiang family?"
"Yes, it's Jiang Chongfan's eldest son. They just returned from Jiangnan, and a banquet is inevitable. But who would have thought that he... would host a banquet at Chunfeng Tower?"
“If it weren’t for the fact that we were both officials in the same court, and I wanted to avoid damaging our relationship, I would have turned around and left.”
Luo Kejin spoke with righteous indignation.
"I'm telling the truth."
"Although I stayed behind, I swear I absolutely did not touch any woman!"
"Even if I'm drunk, I won't do anything to betray you."
Luo Kejin looked earnest, but Liu Sihua snorted coldly.
"Yeah?"
Luo Kejin nodded.
"It's absolutely true."
"Then tell me, where did you sleep yesterday?"
Luo Kejin stammered:
"I was drunk at the time, I didn't know."
When I woke up, I found myself lying on a bed in Chunfeng Tower.
However, I can assure you that there won't be any other woman in my bed at that time. You can rest assured about that.
Liu Sihua snorted coldly, went directly to Luo Ziqian's room, drew her long sword, and slashed at Luo Kejin.
“You sent someone to tell me that you were busy with palace affairs and stayed in the palace, but in the end, you actually dared to go to Chunfeng Tower to fool around, and now you expect me to believe you!”
"Luo Kejin, do you think I'm a fool?"
Luo Kejin took off running, shouting as he ran:
"I'm telling the truth!"
"Luo Ziqian, stop your mother right now!"
"Hurry up! Swords have no eyes, don't hurt your mother!"
Luo Ziqian rushed forward and snatched the sword from Liu Sihua's hand, for which he was punched by the enraged Liu Sihua.
Finally, Luo Kejin knelt dejectedly on the washboard, his face swollen and purple.
He lowered his head, as if he had lost all his strength and ability, but even so, he continued to speak.
“Ahua, I’m telling the truth. I really haven’t touched any woman. I haven’t done anything to betray you.”
Liu Sihua sat in the chair, her chest heaving with anger.
A moment later, she stood up.
"Someone, prepare water and give the Minister a thorough cleaning, inside and out."
late at night.
After taking five baths, until his skin was wrinkled from being soaked, Luo Kejin finally dared to quietly open the door.
However, as soon as he stepped into the room, something was stuffed into his arms, and he was pushed out.
Luo Kejin looked at the pillow in his hand and sighed helplessly.
"Hey, Ahua, how many times do I have to tell you before you finally believe me!"
“Look at us, how old are we? And you still kick me out. The servants will laugh at us if they see this.”
A moment later, Liu Sihua's voice came from inside the room.
"If you're afraid of being laughed at, then go to Chunfeng Tower. No one there will definitely laugh at you."
Luo Kejin: ...
“Ahua…”
Luo Kejin looked at the pillow in his arms and sighed helplessly.
"At least give me a blanket. It's so cold. If I don't cover myself with a blanket, I'll probably freeze."
