I'm not a scumbag

Ling Fantian's eyes lit up when he saw Qin Zuo, and he was a little suspicious for a moment. Is this guy also interested in the girls of the Zhong family?

Thinking of this, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable. Of course, he did not express his guess, but kept it in his heart.

"What's wrong with the Zhong family? Have you fallen in love with their girl?"

Because he knew the direction of the story, Qin Zuo naturally knew the ending of Ling Fantian and Zhong Qingmei, so his ridicule seemed natural.

However, Ling Fantian himself didn't know.

While I felt baffled in my heart, the grudge that had just arisen disappeared in an instant.

"What nonsense are you talking about, Brother Zuo? I have only met the girl from the Zhong family a few times, how could she be so frivolous?"

But someone couldn't help but appear in his mind.

Although she is the eldest daughter of the Zhong family, she lives such a miserable life. I really want to seek justice for her and clear her name...

However, this is a family matter, and it is not easy for me to interfere in it. It is unfair and unfair.

Seeing that Ling Fantian was in a trance, Qin Zuo didn't know what he was thinking. He just thought that he was just deliberately arousing his interest when he stopped talking, and he was instantly unhappy.

"Xiaofan, this manly man still has to face his true emotions bravely."

These words seemed very serious and thoughtful.

But he didn't expect Ling Fantian to say suddenly, "So you just admit that you have any thoughts about my sister?"

"Yes... ah, no, why did it suddenly get involved with me? Let's get down to business, what's going on between you and the Miss Zhong family?"

Qin Zuo braked in time, the secret road was so dangerous, but he didn't expect this guy to dig a hole for himself as if nothing had happened.

Ling Fantian had some idea in his mind and stopped talking about this matter. He just told Qin Zuo about his heroic act of saving the beauty just now.

It turns out that although this is a private banquet in name for Deng Zhuang, it is actually set up for Ling Tingyu.

The Zhong family had never openly supported Ling Tingyu. Instead, their military power grew more and more, which made Emperor Yan a little suspicious, fearing that he would rebel by relying on his own troops.

But he had done a lot of credit and hard work, and there really was no reason for him to hand over his military power. Although the Zhong family seemed loyal, people's hearts were unpredictable, and it was really a problem for him to be the sole leader of the military commanders in the court.

This dinner was not deliberately set up to embarrass Qin Zuo.

After all, Qin Zuo is just an ignorant playboy in the eyes of outsiders, and he is not worthy of this. Of course, if Deng Zhuang knew Qin Zuo's true intention, he probably would not think so.

On the surface it was a private banquet, but in reality it was the first time to test the Zhong family, and it also symbolized that Emperor Yan was going to take action against the Zhong family.

Normally, Zhong Qingmei would not be present at such a banquet, but Zhong Aorong had been trying to think of ways to rectify Zhong Qingmei these days but had not succeeded. After weighing the pros and cons, she had to make up her mind and beg Zhong Ying. Let Zhong Qingmei go with them.

Zhong Ying always responded to the requests of his doting second daughter.

He just repeatedly told them to keep a low profile and never do anything outrageous, otherwise, family law will take care of them.

This warning made Zhong Aorong think about it. Although Zhong Qingmei was unwilling, her father had already spoken, so she couldn't go against his wishes, otherwise she would be said to be disrespectful.

An Lan originally wanted to follow, but was diverted by Zhong Aorong's plan. Zhong Qingmei was alone, making it easier to bully.

We had just arrived at the banquet, and everything was going smoothly, but it was ruined by that dude who came from nowhere.

Until now, both Zhong Aorong and Zhong Qingmei thought Qin Zuo was Ling Fantian.

And Ling Fantian is naturally the famous 'Zuo Xiaochen'.

Seeing that this guy ruined her plan, Zhong Aorong didn't care about being a nymphomaniac towards Ling Fantian. She just roared at him, scaring Zhong Ying who was not far away half to death.

They didn't know the second prince, how could he not know him? Seeing that Ling Fantian hadn't recovered yet, he immediately stepped forward to apologize.

Now everyone's attention shifted from Zhong Qingmei to Zhong Aorong. Only then did the stunned two people realize that the person in front of them was the second prince.

Although Zhong Aorong had a bad temper, she was not really stupid. While admitting her mistake honestly, she attributed all the troubles this time to Zhong Qingmei.

"Wait, how do you know so much?"

After Qin Zuo listened honestly, he thought about it and found something was wrong. He was too detailed.

Is it possible that he has been silently paying attention to Zhong Qingmei?

No, he should be paying attention to the Zhong family.

Ling Fantian was speechless for a moment, knowing what he had exposed, but seeing Qin Zuo reacting so quickly, he secretly smacked his tongue.

He secretly thought in his heart that he should be more careful when dealing with Qin Zuo in the future.

Although the two seem to have a good relationship now, they have not known each other for a long time. Moreover, Qin Zuo is far different from the rumored one, which makes Ling Fantian label him as a very deep person in the city.

"Well, I'm just asking this casually. Brother Ling, you don't have to say anything."

Knowing that Ling Fantian would not return to him, Qin Zuo found the steps for himself.

The two fell silent for a moment.

They each have something on their minds.

Qin Zuo recalled the plot and realized that Ling Fantian should have a power in his hands. This power had been hidden in the dark and was cultivated for him by his biological father.

At first it was just for his safety, but as time went by, it was inevitable that he would have other thoughts.

For example, after being flirted with for a few words, he thought about the rebellious Lao Ling and his biological father.

No!

The Queen's throne cannot be threatened by anyone!

With his newly recognized brother on one side and Her Majesty the Queen on the other, Qin Zuo of course chose the latter without hesitation.

After Ling Fantian was silent for a while, he gently asked, "Brother Zuo, should I trust you?"

Qin Zuo was shocked, knowing that if he couldn't overcome this hurdle, his idea of ​​becoming brothers with the male protagonist would probably come to nothing.

[Is it important for brothers to have the Queen? 】

Although Ah Kuai talks little, he can always ask Qin Zuo's thoughts.

In fact, to be honest, Qin Zuo is not that determined.

After all, Ling Tingyu is not Yi Ge and cannot be chosen without reservation.

【What if? 】

if?

Qin Zuo was stunned for a moment, recalling something in an instant. Just as he was about to ask Ah Kuai, he met Ling Fantian's complicated eyes.

Okay, let’s get over this first.

"Zuo came to a foreign country alone. I wonder if I can trust Brother Fan?"

The best answer is a rhetorical question.

Ling Fantian nodded directly without thinking, "Of course."

The two met each other, and their temperaments and personalities were quite compatible. He and Qin Zuo were of similar status, so they were more suitable to be friends, while Deng Zhuang was, after all, just a friendship between the king and his ministers.

Even if he eventually became his brother-in-law.

"of course."

Qin Zuo smiled lightly, looked at Ling Fantian, and replied seriously.

The two met and smiled, knowing that they had officially become friends.

This touching brotherly love seems less harmonious to outsiders.

"They have an affair?"

Cheng Ru noticed that the two of them looked at each other "affectionately" and couldn't help but have an aunt's smile on their faces.

【…】

Wait, this is the goal she wants to conquer!

How can you like a man? !

If you like it, you have to let her conquer it first and complete the task!

"Zhuang would like to thank you all for your compliments!"

At the banquet, Deng Zhuang stood up and offered a toast, and everyone stood up and returned the toast.

After draining the glass of wine, Qin Zuo knew that the show was about to begin.
