The princess relies on the cat to get the upper hand + special episode

Maybe men's clothing is no longer important, and her identity no longer needs to be concealed, so her voice is soft and sweet.

Or if she was too close, Lu Wanzhen could clearly see her dark brown pupils illuminated by the sun, which tasted as sweet as the milk tea she tasted last time.

all in all--

Lu Wanzhen's anger at being teased earlier disappeared completely unconsciously.

She crushed the brown sugar between her teeth, let the sweetness diffuse, and leaned over again:

"Sweet or not, you will know when you taste it."

Chapter 43

Le Ning dodged Lu Wanzhen's playfulness, raised his hand to cover her face, and said to her with a smile: "Your Highness, don't make trouble anymore. How can you tease me like this in broad daylight?"

Her tone was relaxed, but Lu Wanzhen didn't know if she could still smile so easily after talking about Zou Dequan for a while.

Putting his chin on Le Ning's shoulder sullenly, Lu Wanzhen slowly melted the piece of sugar in his mouth, and decided to wait until the smell inside was gone before opening his mouth, regardless of the fact that the two of them were hugging each other in men's clothes at the moment. What kind of impact will other people have? Even if the servants in this yard have already been dismissed by her.

Le Ning was able to wait patiently at first, but when she realized that she hadn't spoken for a while, she asked nervously:

"What? My master, did he encounter something outside?"

Encountered bandits and water bandits on the way back?

Or some other accident?

Le Ning really couldn't think of anything bigger than this.

Lu Wanzhen snorted and laughed, thinking: It would be great if it was so simple.

It is impossible to hide this matter from left to right, Lu Wanzhen only said slowly: "Be prepared, this matter...it will be a long story."

Le Ning nodded.

Then it took Lu Wanzhen a quarter of an hour to tell the story of Zou Dequan and Concubine Shu, and the matter of secretly sending her out of the palace and selling her to Ren Zizi.

When Le Ning returned to Wang'an with the pair of unscrupulous parents and joined Zou Dequan's family again, he told them all.

Le Ning's expression gradually became complicated.

It's hard for anyone to keep calm when they hear such things.

There is one more factor in her complexity——

She is not the original owner. Since she came to this world, she has not been treated harshly by that couple for a long time, and she has suffered less. She has been worshiped under Zou Dequan's family since then. With the kitchen system in hand and the care of the teacher, she has a better life than most people.

From her own point of view, as a teacher for one day and a father for life, Zou Dequan's tolerance for her has made her what she is today.

So not only was it difficult for her to feel any hatred towards Zou Dequan, but she was also very grateful to him.

only……

From the point of view of the original owner, if it wasn't for Zou Dequan, she wouldn't have to suffer in those years.

She was born in Dingsheng's family, and as the apple of the eye of the couple in the Duke's Mansion, she will live well.

even……

Just now Lu Wanzhen made it clear to her.

If Zou Dequan hadn't sold him outside, perhaps it would be Le Ning, not Lu Wanzhen, who is sitting on the crown prince.

Yes, she told Le Ning about it so bluntly.

Just thinking about it, Le Ning knew that Duke Lu's mansion would not spare Zou Dequan, and it might take his old life.

only……

Le Ning sighed inwardly.

She didn't want Zou Dequan to die because of herself.

If he died, it would be difficult for Le Ning to accept it, and she would even feel like she was ungrateful; if he didn't die, it would be like nothing to the original owner for the many years of suffering.

"I……"

She spoke slowly under Lu Wanzhen's gaze, full of hesitation in her expression.

"He made me suffer for eight years, and also sheltered me for eight years of freedom. I don't know if the merits and demerits can be used for this matter, but, whether I am hypocritical or benevolent, I have no intention of letting him die. To my fault."

Those who grew up under the red flag could not understand the idea that human life is worthless in this era of imperial power supremacy.

This is also the reason why she decided to indulge in cooking in this world.

Hearing what she said, Lu Wanzhen smiled, raised his hand and patted her shoulder lightly, and said to her:

"Whatever you ask, I will answer."

"From today onwards, he will be imprisoned for the crime of being a child, and he will not be allowed to step into Wang'an for the rest of his life. Life and death are up to him. How do you treat him?"

Lu Wanzhen told the solution that he had already thought of.

Le Ning was startled.

Even if she didn't quite understand it, seeing that Zou Dequan came out of the palace, he had to look forward to resettlement and set up a property. He had been inseparable from the imperial city for most of his life.

Even if he is old, maybe he also wants to find a secluded mountain under the palace wall as his tomb.

Now when he is about to grow old, driving him out of Wang'an is tantamount to letting an old man who has spent most of his life in his hometown forcefully move to another place.

Of course, it is also possible that he did not survive at all.

But this is the best and fairest way.

As far as Zou Dequan was concerned, at least he saved his life for the time being, which was considered a kindness to him.

Le Ning figured out what was going on, fell silent for a while, and nodded, agreeing with Lu Wanzhen's handling method.

Don't forget to add another sentence: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your compassion."
