Chapter 163: Her Place (Part )
Zhou Yunke couldn't help but side-glance at Feng Yang with a half-smile, which made Feng Yang feel a chill down his spine. He quickly straightened his body, trying to act innocently as if the words just now were not said by him.
Seeing this, Zhou Yunke chuckled, stepped forward, and said, "She doesn't like that kind of man."
Feng Yang was stunned, and hurriedly followed him, but he was silently complaining in his heart: Isn't it because of that kind of man that you took time out of your busy schedule to come to Princess Changxi's villa?
As he thought about this, he couldn't help but ask, "Then Your Highness, what kind of man do you think Miss Su would like?"
Zhou Yunke paused for a moment, but quickly returned to normal and said calmly, "I don't know."
Feng Yang was a little stunned.
Your Highness, even if you really don't know, don't admit it so calmly!
Could it be that His Highness doesn't know Miss Su's preferences that's why he hasn't taken any action yet?
But he had said so many words today, which was already a great challenge to Feng Yang's courage. How could he dare to say anything else now?
Just when he was finding it extremely difficult to endure, he saw that the direction his prince was heading was clearly the gate of the villa.
He was slightly stunned, and asked quickly: "Your Highness, where are you going next?"
"We have finished our work here, let's go back to the barracks."
Zhou Yunke didn't even look at him and said, "General Tan reported the other day about another suspicious reactionary gang, but there's still no news about it."
Feng Yang: “…”
If he was not now extremely certain that his Highness was interested in Miss Su San, he might have thought that his Highness was truly cold-hearted.
Just for a word from Princess Changxi, His Highness hurriedly ended the meeting with the generals and rushed to Princess Changxi's villa.
Now, after he came to the conclusion that "Miss Su San wouldn't like that kind of man", he felt relieved? Satisfied?!
Could it be that His Highness... doesn't know how to pursue a girl at all?
Feng Yang couldn't help but be stunned when he came to this terrible conclusion.
Oh my God!
He had fully believed that His Highness would have a good chance of marrying the Crown Princess, but now it seems that he was too optimistic!
Can someone come and teach their princes how to pursue girls?
On the other side, after Su Liuyue reported the case to Princess Changxi, Princess Changxi sighed deeply and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work. You can go down first."
Su Liuyue knew that Princess Changxi had to rethink which students she wanted to recruit.
Moreover, it would be somewhat uncomfortable to suddenly know the filthiness hidden behind these glamorous ladies in the capital.
Zheng Qilang's face looked a little dazed.
Although Zheng Jinyu was finally confirmed not to be the murderer, she still didn't get any good results.
It is conceivable that she and the Zheng family will be stabbed in the back next.
Moreover, this matter was brought to the attention of Princess Changxi and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
If the people from the Censorate found out, they would definitely report the Zheng family for having a corrupt family tradition.
All I can say is that this result is only slightly better than Zheng Jinyu being the murderer.
After leaving Princess Changxi's courtyard, the two walked together for a while. When they came to a fork in the road, Su Liuyue stopped, looked at Zheng Qilang, smiled slightly and said, "I'm going to go this way next. Thank you for your hard work tonight."
Her last words were a common compliment.
Zheng Qilang felt very unhappy because she basically solved the case tonight by herself and he didn't help at all.
Thinking of his previous prejudice against her, Zheng Qilang felt embarrassed.
Just as Su Liuyue turned around to leave, Zheng Qilang hurriedly called her, "Miss Su San..."
Su Liuyue paused and turned to look at him.
The woman's lively and wise eyes, under the bright moonlight, were as clear and moving as two pools of spring water.
Who could have thought that those eyes just now, with their overwhelming momentum and unwavering determination, had pushed Song Nianrou into a situation where she could not retreat. There was such a contradictory... and strange woman in the world.
Zheng Qillang only felt his heartbeat quickening little by little, and he could even clearly hear the sound of his uncontrollable heartbeat in his ears.
His throat and lips were a little dry, and he couldn't help but lick his lips and said, "Miss Su San, I want to apologize to you for my earlier disrespect at the pavilion..."
Su Liuyue raised her lips without any emotion and said, "Zheng Qilang, there is no need to be like this. I don't take that matter to heart."
He was someone I wasn't very familiar with.
She was more angry about his lack of seriousness and caution in investigating the case than his prejudice against her.
After she finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave. Zheng Qilang's heart suddenly skipped a beat and he shouted, "Wait a minute! I have something else to say..."
As he spoke, he subconsciously reached out and was about to grab Su Liuyue's wrist.
However, before his hand even touched the woman in front of him, the woman seemed to have noticed it long ago and took a step to the side to dodge it lightly. She frowned slightly and said with a bit of coldness in her eyes: "Zheng Qilang, please respect yourself."
After saying that, without looking at him again, he turned around and left.
Only Zheng Qilang was left standing there in a daze, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
After being at a distance from Zheng Qilang, Er Si, who was following Su Liuyue, could not help but grumble, "What on earth does Zheng Qilang mean! Even if the customs of our Daqing people are more open, his actions just now were very abrupt!
If he really loves the girl, he should respect her even more!"
Because she was helping to investigate the case as a woman this time, in order to avoid suspicion, she kept Ersi with her.
Su Liuyue suddenly felt a headache. "No, I don't need his love and respect. I just hope that after I go back this time, I will never see those people from the Zheng family again..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a sound of footsteps on the grass not far away. Then, a tall figure suddenly walked out from behind a tree in front. With a pair of eyes half hidden in the shadows, he looked at Su Liuyue with deep resentment and hostility.
Su Liuyue was caught off guard and was almost frightened by him.
After seeing who he was, she felt her head hurt even more. "Zheng Jiulang, what are you doing here?"
"I saw everything that happened between you and my seventh brother just now."
Zheng Baizong gritted his teeth and said with inexplicable anger: "Su Liuyue, do you have any shame! Even if you want to take revenge on me again, you shouldn't attack my seventh brother!
Is my Seventh Brother someone you can dream of?! At the beginning, you were not even worthy of me. If your father hadn’t shamelessly come to ask for it, the Zheng family would not have given you a chance to marry in! "
Su Liuyue's mouth twitched slightly. She really didn't want to pay attention to him. She said with a fake smile: "Yeah, when dealing with someone like me, you should just turn a blind eye and don't dirty your own eyes, right?"
After saying that, I wanted to go straight past him.
Zheng Baizong suddenly took a step towards her, seeming even more angry, "Su Liuyue! Don't talk to me in such a sarcastic tone. Don't think I don't know what you are up to?! You are just angry that I abandoned you and got engaged to Rou'er, so you want to deliberately show off and attract the attention of my seventh brother to get revenge on me!
I'm telling you, don't be so delusional! You just happened to be lucky enough to solve a small case, don't think you can turn things around from now on! Even if you really hooked up with my seventh brother, my seventh brother would at most take you as a concubine! The position of the Zheng family's head wife will never be given to you!"
Su Liuyue was so annoyed that she rolled her eyes without any hesitation and said perfunctorily, "Yes, yes, yes!"
As he spoke, he took a few steps to the side, trying to walk right past him.
Unexpectedly, the madman followed closely and was about to stop her again. Su Liuyue's patience finally ran out. She glanced at him coldly, suddenly reached out, grabbed his left hand, and threw him over her shoulder with a clean and neat throw.
Finally, she lowered her eyes to look at the man who was knocked unconscious again, clapped her hands in disgust, and said, "Zheng Baizong, I told you last time, don't mess with me. If you mess with me again, I will knock you down again. Just think of it as practicing my kung fu."
At this moment, she suddenly felt the same way as Zhou Yunke. It turned out that it was really disgusting after touching something dirty.
After saying that, she walked away without even looking at Zheng Baizong on the ground.
Only Zheng Baizong was left sitting up with difficulty, gritting his teeth with deep hatred as he watched her receding back.
He came to warn her with good intentions, but who would have thought that she was so ungrateful!
He changed his mind. She wanted to seduce Brother Qi, right? He would help her! He would let her know clearly where her position was!
