Chapter 90: Proposing marriage, are you dreaming?
The setting sun is blood-red.
At dusk, the slender figure of Lilac was lengthened by the setting sun. The empty alley was deserted, with only the afterglow of the setting sun that was about to fall into the night, casting a lonely scene on the ground.
The lilac leaning against the corner looks even more desolate.
She didn't know how long she had been waiting, until the last ray of setting sun merged into the night and her feet were numb, but the person she was waiting for still didn't show up.
"Is he not coming?"
She murmured, and just when she was about to extinguish the last glimmer of hope, the tall figure suddenly appeared in her sight.
She was extremely happy and rushed over to greet him, "Brother Zhuang!"
"What damn bad luck!" Li Zhuang had just come out of the casino, feeling foul-smelling.
Seeing Ding Xiang, he immediately said unhappily, "Didn't I ask Fu Zi to tell you that I was busy? Why are you looking for me for nothing?"
The man's voice was filled with irritation and impatience. Ding Xiang suddenly became timid, "I, I have something to do."
"If you have something to say, say it quickly. I'm busy." Li Zhuang's eyes were bloodshot.
He stayed in the casino for a day and a night with the two taels of silver he got from Zizhu. He was about to make back his money, but who knew that he would lose it all in the last hand. What a damn bad luck!
Looking at Dingxiang's veiled face, his stomach, which had been hungry all day, suddenly felt sour and he wanted to vomit.
"If you don't tell me I'm leaving." He turned around in disgust.
"Brother Zhuang, have you heard? The princess... the princess's face has been ruined, and even her body is festering and oozing pus..."
Of course Li Zhuang heard about it.
He even went to find Zizhu and received two taels of silver from her.
"That's all?" he asked impatiently.
"Brother Zhuang, I have done everything you said. When are you going to propose to my parents?" Dingxiang asked bravely.
"Propose marriage?" Li Zhuang frowned, "When did I say I wanted to marry you?"
"You clearly said that day that you would marry me as long as I destroyed the princess's face according to your instructions. How can you deny it now?"
Ding Xiang became sad, and there was a hint of tears in her voice, "I have offended the princess for you, you can't do this to me..."
It turns out that this is the true face that Yuzhu described.
Li Zhuang pushed the man away and said, "Dingxiang, what do you mean by this? Don't forget, I didn't mind your ugliness at the beginning, and I even tried every means to find medicine for you. It's fine if you don't appreciate me, but now you come to question me?"
"And you ruined the princess's face. What do you mean by following my orders? I didn't force you. I asked you if you wanted to take revenge on her, and you agreed. What does it have to do with me?"
Ding Xiang looked at the man in front of her in disbelief, "You..."
It was obvious that he had tricked her into doing everything, so how could he put the blame on her for everything?
"What do you mean by 'you'? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? I can't eat if I look at your face for one more time! Marry you? Are you dreaming?" Li Zhuang said as he pulled the purse from her waist. "Take this money as payment for my hard work these days."
"Acting with an ugly guy is really not a human job..."
Li Zhuang opened his purse and saw only a few pieces of silver in it. He frowned and asked, "Why is there only so little?"
"Acting?" Dingxiang trembled.
Could it be that all his gentleness and consideration towards me before was fake?
He is making a fool of himself!
"Do you have any money left? Give it all to me!" Li Zhuang asked anxiously, thinking about making a comeback.
Seeing that Ding Xiang didn't respond, he simply started searching.
Ding Xiang was so frightened that her face turned pale. "What are you doing?"
Li Zhuang was furious. "Stop talking nonsense and hand over all the money, otherwise..."
"What else?" Manager Liu was so angry when he saw this scene that his body was shaking. If he wasn't weak, he would have rushed up and beat the man up severely.
Not only did he deceive Xiang'er's feelings, but he also wanted to steal her money.
It's really lawless!
"Dad, Mom?" Dingxiang stared at the two people who appeared in front of her. After a moment of silence, she hurriedly ran back and hid behind them in fear.
"Xiang'er, are you okay?" Mrs. Sun pulled Dingxiang and looked her up and down.
She heaved a sigh of relief until she was sure that Ding Xiang was fine. Then she rushed towards Li Zhuang angrily, "You damn coward, I'm going to beat you to death, beat you to death!"
Mrs. Sun has a thick waist and round arms, and is full of strength.
Li Zhuang hadn't slept for a whole day and night, nor had he eaten anything. He felt a little dizzy when he walked. Suddenly, he was bumped by Grandma Sun and fell to the ground.
Granny Sun rode on him and started beating him, "How dare you do this to my Xiang'er, huh?"
"Get out of here!" Li Zhuang swung his long arm and threw the person away.
Although he hadn't eaten for a day, he was tall and strong after all, and Mrs. Sun was no match for him.
"Old woman!" Manager Liu exclaimed and hurriedly supported the person.
"Ouch, my waist..." Mrs. Sun felt pain.
Although she was strong, she was old after all, and her arms and legs were very stiff. She didn't feel it when she was working normally, but now that she suddenly twisted her arms, she felt a sharp pain.
"Mom, how are you?" Dingxiang immediately went over to help her.
When she saw that Mrs. Sun had injured her waist because she was venting her anger for her, she felt extremely guilty.
She's already this old, but she still causes her parents a lot of worry.
"Mom is okay, it's okay." Mrs. Sun gasped in pain, but was afraid that Dingxiang would worry too, so she endured it and didn't dare to show it.
While holding her, Manager Liu said to the servant who followed him, "Why are you still standing there? Tie him up and hand him over to the prince and princess for punishment!"
Li Zhuang had several bloody scratches on his face from Grandma Sun, and it was burning with pain.
Seeing several tall servants walking towards him, he panicked and ignored the wound on his face, "You, what are you doing?"
"Tied up!"
…
Steward Liu and Mrs. Sun personally tied the men up and took them into Prince Ning's mansion, and candles lit up Shaohua Courtyard.
As soon as she entered, Ding Xiang knelt down.
"I know I was wrong. Please punish me, Princess." Ding Xiang looked ashen and filled with regret.
"My lord, my princess, all the mistakes are my fault. It's my fault that I didn't discipline Xiang'er well. If you want to punish someone, then punish me." Grandma Sun knelt down, enduring the pain in her waist, and cried.
"Kneel down!" Manager Liu kicked Li Zhuang hard.
Then he knelt on the ground for a long time and said, "I am willing to take the responsibility for the crime committed by my daughter. Please punish me, Your Majesty."
At this time, Lin Miaoyin had changed her clothes and came over.
The black hair that had just been dried was casually tied behind her back with a wooden hairpin, simple and neat.
Beigong You followed beside her, looking at the family of three kneeling in the yard, frowning slightly, obviously not sure what had happened.
"Dingxiang, please tell us about it." Lin Miaoyin said.
Dingxiang found it a little difficult to speak, but she still gritted her teeth and explained what happened between her and Li Zhuang.
"He is Zizhu's cousin. Previously, he went to work at a farm outside Beijing under Zizhu's recommendation. He told me a few days ago that the princess suddenly wanted to take back the farm and drove away all the workers. So he held a grudge and wanted to take revenge on the princess."
"I was blinded by his words and believed him. Fortunately, Yuzhu discovered it in time, so I didn't make a big mistake."
After hearing this, Granny Sun said angrily, "Xiang'er, you are so confused!"
