"I don't have anything to say to you for now." Qiao Zhenzhen continued.

Han Zheng was just thinking about her good points when he was choked again. However, he was not good at expressing himself, so he pursed his lips, not knowing what to say.

Qiao Zhenzhen was such a sensitive person, she raised her eyebrows and asked tentatively, "Are you angry?"

"No." Han Zheng said.

Qiao Zhenzhen laughed, "You look like you're sulking, or are you born like that? Like what people say, you look sulky every day, as if everyone owes you money."

"Only you dare to say that in front of me." Han Zheng was helpless, but his facial features were obviously relaxed.

"What am I afraid of? Do you think you can hit a woman?"

"I don't hit my woman." Han Zheng said.

What a domineering statement, but the tone was too normal.

There is no domineering action, but it is good like this. The greasy man who thinks he is handsome is really enough.

Qiao Zhenzhen misheard it at first, because she had seen a short video before, in which the male protagonist of a drama said domineeringly, "I only beat my woman."

Suddenly her three views exploded, and she wanted to rush up to help the heroine and give him a series of moves, beat him to the ground, and then say domineeringly, "I only beat my man!"

She thought Han Zheng was crazy and his character was ooc. As a gentleman, shouldn't he say that he never hits women and will never hit women in the future?

But after rubbing his ears, he found out that it was - "I don't hit my woman."

Han Zheng then further explained, "If I have the opportunity to go to the battlefield in the future and encounter an enemy country with female soldiers, I will not show mercy."

The logical thinking is very rigorous.

"Or if someone sends a female assassin to assassinate you, it's okay to hit the woman."

Qiao Zhenzhen even helped him fill the gap in a serious manner.

It is said that when the eldest princess held a banquet before, she encountered the unreasonable Lady Shenghua and her maid, and Han Zheng took action. Although he showed mercy, he did not treat them differently because they were women.

So don’t be too confident when speaking, as you may get embarrassed easily.

Han Zheng thought for a moment and said, "That's a possibility."

Qiao Zhenzhen couldn't help laughing. He was so serious. He was tall and strong, but why did he look a little cute?

Han Zheng stared at her straightly, then suddenly stood up and said, "Then I'll leave first."

Qiao Zhenzhen wanted to get out of bed to see him off, but he stopped her, "You are still ill. Even if it is not serious, don't make any more trouble, lest your condition gets worse. You have to go to the palace in a few days, and the Emperor and Empress must see you this time."

There was a tradition in the Dashun Dynasty that a banquet would be held in the palace to celebrate the New Year on the day before New Year’s Eve, just like a company’s annual meeting.

The emperor was considerate and did it one day earlier so as not to interfere with each family's New Year celebrations.

"Are you going that day too?" Qiao Zhenzhen sat back down.

"Of course I will go, but we may not have a chance to talk." Han Zheng said, "If you want, I can find an opportunity."

Qiao Zhenzhen suddenly realized that Han Zheng seemed to like chatting with her very much. She was just asking casually and didn't say she wanted to talk to him.

"That's not necessary. There are still opportunities outside the palace. Why do you have to stay in the palace and let others see you and make fun of you?"

During the last ceremony to enthronize the Crown Prince, they had a conflict with the eldest princess. Who knows if the news has spread in the palace? This is a good thing about the ancient times, as news was relatively closed. As long as she didn't ask about it, she might not know even if the news was spreading like wildfire in the palace.

It is very difficult to bring about the social death of the whole society.

"Are you afraid of being laughed at?"

"You make it sound like I have no shame." Qiao Zhenzhen stared at him in disbelief, "Is this how I look to you?"

Han Zheng suppressed his laughter and said, "Of course not. I won't tell you anymore. I'm leaving first. See you in a few days."

Qiao Zhenzhen shook her hands and said, "Go away, go away, it's annoying."

She called out to the outside, "Dongxiang, see the prince off."

"Then I'll leave." Han Zheng said again.

"Go ahead." Qiao Zhenzhen picked up the book and started reading again.

Han Zheng took a few steps and looked back at her, but found that she didn't even look up, and he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Back at Mingde Hall, Wu wanted to keep him for dinner, but Han Zheng politely declined. Without his fiancée, he felt very uncomfortable facing his future father-in-law and mother-in-law alone.

Wu wanted to stay a little longer, but Mo Qingyang spoke up and didn't force him.

……

When Han Zheng returned to the Duke's Mansion, Lin was angry with him again. She felt that he cared too much about the Mo family's daughter, which made the Duke's Mansion seem worthless. Look, he came to visit but was sent back without even being allowed to have a meal.

Han Zheng explained but she didn't listen, so she stopped talking. Later, she felt really uncomfortable and replied, "I'm afraid that I'll lose my third fiancée, and then I'll be known as a wife-killer. But if that happens, mother will be happy, so you don't have to find fault with your daughter-in-law every day and live a sad life."

As soon as these words came out, the whole room fell silent.

Lin's eyes widened, unable to believe that such words came from the mouth of her own son.

After Han Zheng finished speaking, he realized that his words seemed a bit harsh and felt a little guilty, but he didn't want to take them back.

He bowed and saluted, "I'm tired, I'll go back to the yard to rest first."

After saying this, he turned around and left. Naturally, no servant in Lin's courtyard dared to come out to stop him.

Lin covered her chest and cried silently in anger, "He is trying to kill my heart——"

Madam Hu helped her smooth her back, "My brother has always been filial, he must be very angry, it's not intentional."

"He didn't do it on purpose... He was afraid that he couldn't piss me off to death, so he came to pave the way for his future wife, right?!"

As he spoke, his tears flowed even harder. It had been many years since he had suffered such humiliation.

Apart from having a mediocre relationship with her husband, Lin had a favored concubine, but she was a concubine who never dared to jump in front of her and shout at her. If she was unhappy, she would make trouble for others to set rules for her every day, but the Duke never said a word to her.

Who would have thought that now, her only son would make her so angry because of another woman.

"That girl...it would be great if she was killed by Brother Zheng!"

Madam Hu said quickly, "Don't talk nonsense."

Then he sent all the waiters away, closed the door, and advised: "If something happens to the girl from the Mo family, let's not talk about making enemies with the Mo family, as my brother said, his reputation of being a wife-killer will really stand.

Everything can be done once or twice, but not three times. By then, which good girl would be willing to marry me? Those who come forward must be those with bad intentions, and you will never like them. I should be 22 after the Chinese New Year. If you delay any longer, the second wife will…"

Madam Hu pointed in the west and said, "They will be so proud. When the time comes, they will say that our brother can't find a wife and has delayed them. Maybe they can get the old lady's approval and marry him first. Not only that, the daughter-in-law they find will easily surpass our eldest son. We only have one legitimate son, my brother, while the second branch has three!"

Lin wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "Why is my life so difficult? I was injured during childbirth just for this son. Otherwise, I would not have fallen into this situation now, and I have to be suppressed by the second wife in everything."

Madam Hu breathed a sigh of relief, indicating that she had heard it.
