Chapter 185 Explanation
"Deal." The second son of the Lanling Xiao family's head smiled slightly, just like a hundred beautiful flowers.
The second son of the head of the Lanling Xiao family is not as hypocritical as the previous two. Although he is obviously tempted by gold, he still pretends to be righteous.
"Princess Ronghua, instead of paying these 30,000 taels of gold to outsiders, why not give it to me for cheap?" The head of the Bai family unexpectedly appeared. He was over fifty years old and looked energetic.
"Princess Ronghua, Lian'er has half of my Bai family's blood in her body, just like Shu'er. I am the most qualified person to exchange Shu'er's marriage for Lian'er. Besides, Guanyin Tower has collapsed, and Shu'er's pre-wedding ceremony cannot be arranged, but I can. The Bai family has a deep foundation in Jiangcheng, and there are dozens of unmarried sons in the family, all of whom are full of vigor and vitality." The head of the Bai family continued.
After hearing this, Zhu Huaizhen held his rosy cheeks, blinked his eyes, and seemed confused.
In fact, Zhu Huaizhen didn't care who he gave the gold to.
But she really hated the head of the Bai family.
They look down on women and treat them like commodities.
So she waited for a while until the second son of the Lanling Xiao family's master took the ebony bone and gold flower folding fan and suddenly inserted it into the chest of the Bai family's master.
"Princess Ronghua, are you satisfied?" The second son of the head of the Lanling Xiao family took out a red handkerchief, wiped the dirty blood splashed on his face, and smiled like a ghost.
In comparison, Lou Li looked much more innocent and harmless.
Zhu Huaizhen was just about to say that he was very satisfied, but he saw Zhao Lian'er stumbling towards him.
"Grandfather! Grandfather, what's wrong with you? Grandfather, don't scare me..." Zhao Lian'er hugged the corpse of the head of the Bai family and cried bitterly.
"Zhenzhen, what is going on?" Chen Mingan asked.
"Chen Ming'an, there is something I want to ask you. My elder sister was forced to marry the Emperor of Northern Zhou and was almost humiliated in Guanyin Tower. What happened? Don't you claim to be a humble gentleman? Why didn't you help her?" Zhu Huaizhen put his hands on his hips and sneered.
She suddenly felt that she was blind and heartless in the past, which was why she fell in love with a coward.
"Zhen'er, I'm sorry. I didn't do well in this matter. I didn't realize that the head of the Bai family wanted to give Princess Rongyang to the Emperor of Northern Zhou. I thought that the head of the Bai family had some affection for Princess Rongyang. What's more, Concubine Bai Chen was also involved in this matter. As an outsider, it is not convenient for me to intervene." Chen Ming'an bowed deeply, his face full of apology.
"Zhenzhen, do you think that you should take revenge on my grandfather because he harmed my cousin? This is because you don't understand his good intentions. My cousin's position in Southern Yan is awkward, and she will be used for marriage sooner or later. Instead of marrying a member of the royal family who is old enough to be my grandfather, it is better to choose a young and strong emperor so that you will not suffer any loss." Zhao Lian'er choked and was very sad.
"Zhen'er, if this happened to you, I would try my best to protect you. It would be worth it even if it cost me my life." Chen Ming'an couldn't help but explain, then turned his face away, not daring to look at Zhu Huaizhen.
In fact, he was very surprised by these heartfelt words.
At the Bai Mansion, Zhao Lian'er often told him that he no longer owed Zhenzhen anything, and it would be better for him to learn to let go so as to avoid being inexplicably resented by Zhenzhen.
But he was unwilling to let go.
Zhenzhen was his concubine. In all the land, only the Duke of Dingguo's mansion was safe. Why wouldn't Zhenzhen stay there? Just think of it as something he still owed Zhenzhen.
