From an old woman back to a young girl, she vowed never to marry into a marquisate

Zhao Huandi tilted his lips, snorted coldly and put on a cynical look: "Did I do it on purpose? Who made the maids in the Prince of Wei's mansion more beautiful than each other? If they were not beautiful, could they have seduced me to do it?"

Zhao Mengyi was speechless at what he said: "Brother Zhao Huan, this is the Prince of Wei's palace. If the Prince of Wei sees your hand, forget it!"

"Didn't I do anything to you last time I touched you?"

Zhao Meng said angrily, "That's because I gave her a bracelet last time! I paid her to keep her quiet. If I can't buy her this time, I'll report it to the King of Wei, and you'll be finished."

"How can it be so serious?" Zhao Huandi pouted nonchalantly. Seeing Zhao Mengyi glaring at him, he said irritably, "Okay, I'll remember. When I see beautiful women, can't I just look at them with my eyes and not touch them? Don't touch them like this." As he spoke, he squinted his eyes and reached out his hand to touch the slender waist of the maid next to Zhao Mengyi!

The maid's neck turned red with anger: "Young Master." Her eyes were watery as she spoke.

"Brother Zhao Huan!" Zhao Mengyi roared.

Zhao Huandi glanced at the maid's face, said nothing, and walked into the Prince of Wei's mansion in a casual manner.

Prince Wei's Palace, garden.

Today's banquet was held here, and the chairs had been set up in the garden. People who came to celebrate took their seats one after another.

Zhou Ziyue had just sat down with a sullen expression when he looked up and saw Tang Wanru and the ladies walking in, laughing and chatting.

The peach blossoms in the Prince of Wei's Palace are in full bloom today. Tang Wanru walked under the peach trees, and her face was more beautiful than the peach blossoms.

Zhou Ziyue's heart skipped a beat for no reason.

He bowed his head.

I thought of Tang Wanru's attitude towards me and what she said to me.

The hatred in my heart arose again.

He raised his head again and looked at her coldly.

Thinking of what she had done to him, Zhou Ziyue's eyes became colder and his hands clenched tighter.

"Master!" Liu An knew that he was unwilling in his heart, but today was not the occasion to confront Tang Wanru.

Zhou Ziyue also has more important things to do.

Zhou Ziyue seemed not to hear his words and continued to stare at Tang Wanru.

"master!"

"Got it!" Zhou Ziyue suddenly withdrew his gaze angrily.

On the other side, Tang Yue'er was arranged to sit at the very edge of the seats for distinguished ladies. She glanced at Zhou Ziyue out of the corner of her eye.

The last time she met him at Longquan Temple, Zhou Ziyue told her that they should keep their distance from each other in the future.

No one could ever see that they were related.

She has been practicing it, but now she has something important to tell him.

Yes, she was coming to Prince Wei’s Mansion today, not to find Bai Yanli, but to find Zhou Ziyue!

She wants to tell Zhou Ziyue!

She is pregnant!

She is pregnant with Zhou Ziyue's child!

Tang Yueer only found out about this not long ago.

That day, she woke up shortly after Bai Yanli sent people to carry her back to the carriage from Tianxiang Tower. She felt very uncomfortable at that time, so she asked Wang Hua to take her to see a doctor first.

After knowing the truth, she was so devastated that she fainted in the carriage again.

Only she knows this.

Even Liu didn't know.

She didn't dare to say it. Liu had told her when Zhou Ziyue was pursuing her that a woman should prioritize the most important time with a man at a critical moment, and must not have physical contact with him before being married to Zhou Ziyue.

She couldn't help it.

Now Tang Yue'er has made up her mind to abort the child.

But before that, she had something else to say to Zhou Ziyue.

As she was thinking, she saw Zhao Mengyi coming. She followed Tang Yueer's gaze and looked forward and said, "Hey, are you still looking?"

These words scared Tang Yue'er. Thinking that she was seen looking at Zhou Ziyue, she quickly looked away.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Mengyi said, "You really don't give up. Last time at the Prince of Wei's Mansion, you were rejected by the second son of the Bai family, and you dared to stare at his face? Do you really want to fly up to the tree and become a phoenix?"

Tang Yueer was startled, and then she saw Bai Yanli and Wei Wang Zhou Zhuoqi standing not far away, in the same direction as Zhou Ziyue. Zhao Mengyi thought she was looking at Bai Yanli.

She felt relieved inside.

"Don't you think about whether you have that fate?" Zhao Mengyi said coldly, crossing his arms.

Tang Yue'er was not feeling well today, so she didn't give in to her. She said, "Whether I want to be a phoenix or not, at least I have tried to be one. I am not like some people who only stand behind others and gossip about them. They are as timid as mice!"

Zhao Meng's face changed when he heard this: "You!"

Tang Yue'er didn't say anything else to her, just got up and left.

On the other side, Bai Yanli also took a seat.

Zhou Zhuoqi sat beside him and whispered, "Seventh Brother, Father will also be here today."

"There's news from the palace that the emperor has privately concluded the results of his investigation into your last visit to Longquan Temple," he said. "The emperor is very satisfied. He thinks you were able to act in a timely manner and save his life when you accidentally encountered him being attacked. You are both filial and capable."

Ah.

Filial piety?

Does he have it?

Bai Yanli couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

Zhou Zhuoqi continued, "He came here incognito today. On the surface, he wanted to give me a birthday surprise, but in reality, he knew that you and I had a good relationship, so he came to see you secretly."

"Seventh brother, be careful." Zhou Zhuoqi said, and turned around to prepare for the banquet.

Bai Yanli's eyes were fixed forward, as if he hadn't heard what he said at all. At the end of his gaze -

"Be careful!" A slender hand blocked a cluster of peach branches above her head to prevent the branches from damaging the eldest daughter of the Yang family's hair.

Upon closer inspection, it was Tang Wanru's white hand.

"Thank you, Sister Tang." Yang Lingling, the eldest daughter of the Yang family who was helped, hurriedly thanked with a smile.

"You're welcome." Tang Wanru replied with a chuckle.

"Sister Tang is so attentive. She didn't even notice us when we walked over." Miss Li said.

"She is beautiful and considerate. Whoever can marry her in the future will be blessed for his family for eight lifetimes." Miss Zhang also said in a low voice.

When that person said this, he naturally knew that it would remind everyone of the rejection of marriage proposal at the Yongning Marquis' Mansion a few days ago.

On the surface, everyone tacitly agreed not to mention this matter, but everyone was gossiping. Now that someone brought it up, everyone inevitably looked at each other, and at the same time casually glanced in Zhou Ziyue's direction.

In the past, the Yongning Marquis Mansion was considered the first choice for noble ladies to choose a spouse, and everyone thought that Zhou Ziyue was a handsome man.

Now that Tang Wanru has rejected them twice, the ladies can't help but feel...

Is it possible that he has some unknown bad deeds, which is why Tang Wanru has repeatedly and firmly refused him?

Or maybe he has some hidden illness?

Thinking in this way, the halo of Zhou Ziyue and Yongning Marquisate is not so strong anymore.
