Zheng Xiao Mistake: The Mistake of Rebirth Provoked the Cold Master

Zhu Zheng was frightened by his words, "Sir..."

Rong Yan's silent scrutiny seemed to have substance. Zhu Zheng lowered her head. With the truth exposed to this extent, there was absolutely no need to make any excuses.

No wonder he was angry. Zhu Zheng was filled with regret and embarrassment, and could only say, "I'm sorry."

It seems like I have endless apologies to say today, to Wen Boqiu, to Nie Ruke, and to Rong Yan.

Hearing her apology, Rong Yan suddenly let go of her and laughed to himself.

The laughter sounded like thorns piercing her back, causing her to feel a sharp pain.

He took a half step back, let Zhu Zheng stand on the ground, and said dejectedly, "You want to be frank with me. Do you want to tell me that you left the Zhu Mansion with this excuse because you were waiting for the right opportunity to be with that person one day?"

Zhu Zheng lowered her head and said "Hmm?"

"If you're just playing with me, there's no need to take it to this extent." Rong Yan looked at her in the moonlight, his voice as moist as a drizzle.

"Whatever you want, just wave your hand and I'll give it to you."

Zhu Zheng raised her head. What was going on?

She was immersed in the shame of having her hoax exposed. It took her a long time to digest what he was saying and who the "that person" in the previous sentence referred to.

The adults are trying to be stubborn, and after all the twists and turns, aren't they still angry because of the letter?

The dim moonlight shining through the window screen enveloped the two of them. Zhu Zheng looked up and studied Rong Yan carefully for a while.

Upon closer inspection, I realized that he was wearing a silver crown inlaid with jade on his hair, a smoky blue wide-sleeved brocade robe, and a cloud satin waistband embroidered with golden lotus patterns. It was a grand outfit I had never seen before. Even in the dim light, it was obvious that he looked handsome, and with his resolute and hurt expression, he looked like a lonely and gorgeous withered lamp.

This kind of Rong Yan is not common. Compared with his quiet and serene appearance all day long, his awkward appearance is quite strange and fresh.

If it were any other day, she would definitely seize this rare opportunity to tease him.

But today I really can't bear it.

The look in his eyes made Zhu Zheng feel a little heartbroken. He was so old, but when he mentioned Wen Boqiu, he was like a puppy whose tail was stepped on. He was just a dumb puppy that couldn't whimper, but only looked at her with wet eyes.

It seems that her mission today is to help people resolve their knots. If she can resolve one or two of their knots, this one from an adult won't be a big deal.

Although he had moved some distance away, Rong Yan's hands were still on the door frame, vaguely circling Zhu Zheng.

So she tentatively touched his hand, sending a little friendly signal to the dumb puppy.

"I didn't have any casual relationship with you, Master. Master Wen and I had nothing before, and there will be nothing in the future."

Zhu Zheng tilted her head back, and her voice rang out softly, then drifted away in the silent night.

After talking for a long time, she just saw Rong Yan staring at her blankly. Zhu Zheng felt a little nervous when she thought of herself being too sentimental just now and was choked. When she wanted to take her hand away, Rong Yan suddenly held it with his backhand.

"If that's the case, why did you tell me that you like him..."

His grip on her hand hurt a little. Zhu Zheng took a breath and said, "My Lord, please don't wrongly accuse me. Strictly speaking, you were the one who said his name. I was just going along with it."

Rong Yan's eyes froze.

"As for the rest, I didn't tell any lies. The reason I just gave up was because the adults..."

When talking about the past, Zhu Zheng felt a little embarrassed. "Ah, anyway, just treat it as me being at a loss for words, and please stop harping on me..."

As Zhu Zheng spoke, she was pulled closer by Rong Yan. By the time she finished speaking, she had already nestled back into Rong Yan's arms.

She felt her face getting hot and wanted to move back, but Rong Yan held her waist.

"What about the sentence 'I have someone in my heart'? Is that also a lie?"

He has a good memory...

Her hand was still held by Rong Yan. As the two of them were close, her hand was pressed against his chest. She could hear a banging sound under her palm, which distracted her a little.

Zhu Zheng has thought a lot these days, from Rong Yan's words about getting married when he knew she was "pregnant" to his lack of blame now that the truth has been exposed. There are so many things in between, even a heartless person would be moved.

Zhu Zheng doesn't like to drag things out. Once she thinks something through, she always does it efficiently.

The reason why Rong Yan was so clumsy was simply because she had no experience and it took her a long time to think clearly.

Fortunately, he has more patience than anyone else. If it were someone else...

Thinking of this, Zhu Zheng found that she didn't really want to be replaced by someone else.

"Hmm, cough..." Zhu Zheng cleared his throat, blinked, looked up at the sky and the ground, and muttered softly, "Now it's not a lie..."

Rong Yan heard what she meant, his eyes flickered, and he asked, "Now, who do you like?"

This damn adult, doesn’t he understand what it means to be hesitant to speak?

Zhu Zheng's face was flushed by his interrogation. The two of them stayed up all night and hugged each other. They just kissed each other several times. He still wanted to ask who she liked. He should have liked the big-headed ghost, right?

Zhu Zheng bit her lip and glanced at Rong Yan. Seeing that he was still looking at her, she quickly looked away, her eyelashes trembling, leaving only a red cheek in front of her.

He pinched her jaw to make her turn around, and looked into her eyes intently.

"Zhu Zheng..."

And he happened to call her name at this moment.

The two were so close, their intertwined hot breaths blew in front of her face, betraying the tension and throbbing of who was who. Zhu Zheng hummed in response, the scattered moonlight illuminated Rong Yan's eyes, and the desperate resentment just now dissipated, as if the clouds had slowly parted and the moon was shining.

His reaction was as if she had said something terrible.

In fact, she did intend to say something extraordinary.

It's the kind of words that will make the corners of your mouth curl up unconsciously when you think back to this moment in the future.

Since ancient times, expressing one's true feelings in poetry and songs has always been about style. It cannot be too direct, which would lose its charm, nor too implicit, which would confuse people.

For example, Rong Yan's words just now, "Just wave your hand and I'll give you everything," were very well-expressed. Although a bit exaggerated, they were indeed very pleasant to the ear.

And what he said, "You've eaten my heart and liver a long time ago," is also good, connecting the previous and the next part, and is witty and humorous.

Going further back, the sentence "Isn't it obvious what you are thinking?" is also acceptable, taking the initiative and making light of a heavy task.

...Thinking back, he actually put himself ahead by so many times.

Zhu Zheng frowned, wondering if she had the skills to do it so easily. Unconsciously, she had fallen behind. She had to go back and prepare, memorize two sweet and sour poems, and then recite them to him.

Anyway, they don’t have wings, so there is still a long time to go. But if they continue to make trouble today, it will be dawn soon, and she is really tired.

Zhu Zheng wanted to slip away from Rong Yan, so she pinched his face and coaxed him, "My Lord is so smart, go and guess it yourself first, we can talk about it another day..."

Rong Yan held her down tightly. The person in his arms struggled twice, and glared at him softly with a red face. Her black eyes were shy and angry, which was better than all the love words in the world, making Rong Yan want to kiss her again.

But there is one more thing that must be clarified.

One hand brushed across her slender waist, and he said meaningfully, "If it's not for that person, why did you lie to me like this?"

When I begged him to ask just now, he said he didn't have anything to ask, but now he has more questions than anyone else.

She had nothing to hide about Wen Boqiu, but there was something fishy about this matter.

Zhu Zheng yawned, "I suddenly feel sleepy."

"I'll let you go to sleep right away." Rong Yan held her hand and said persistently, "This is the last question. Tell me, what is it for?"

Zhu Zheng moved her lips, but before she could think of how to answer his question, there was a sudden noise outside the door, as if it was pushed from outside.

Before Zhu Zheng could react, a clear and gentle voice sounded.

"It's for me."
