Zhao Zhi also didn’t intend to make use of this opportunity to kill Wei Chiyu. He only locked him up one or two days but already some people couldn’t stand it.

He put his hands behind his back, “You tell her, Wei Chiyu won’t die.”

“Okay.”

Sheng Wenlin was still confused about one thing, when Wei Chiyu was interrogated, he neither admitted nor denied all of the charges. All the other people who were innocent all wrote a plea, to signal their injustice, but he didn’t write one.

Sheng Wenlin felt that Wei Chiyu was not such a stubborn person.

After hearing this, the corners of Zhao Zhi’s mouth curled up, his smile was slightly cold, “He isn’t writing one on purpose.”

Wei Chiyu was trying to use this time in the dungeon to try to force their teacher’s granddaughter to voluntarily withdraw from the marriage engagement.

Sheng Wenlin was a little startled, he didn’t think about this point. Jiang teacher’s granddaughter, their junior fellow student, with swollen eyes which made her unrecognizable, came to beg him this morning.

After talking about public matters, Sheng Wenlin had the cheek to invite himself to dine in the crown prince’s residence.

Zhao Zhi didn’t say anything, the tips of his eyebrows lifted up, “Since when did you like to stay in my residence so much?”

Sheng Wenlin’s face remained unchanged as he said in a joking tone: “My mother is always pushing me to get married recently, she’s forcing me to go and look at suitable girls, so I can only hide here in your residence to avoid it.”

“It’s indeed the time for you to get married.”

“Let’s talk about it in two years.” Sheng Wenlin’s gaze glanced at the food box on the table, with all sorts of thoughts going inside his mind, he swallowed his saliva, looking like he usually did, as he said, “I shouldn’t talk about Your Highness’s personal matters, but I feel that Your Highness shouldn’t favor a concubine this much.”

Zhao Zhi’s eyes held a smile that didn’t look like a smile as he looked at him. He said, “Now, you are starting to concern yourself about my affairs.”

Sheng Wenlin pretended to be upright, “It’s not good to indulge too much.”

He actually felt a little guilty in his heart, he always felt like all of his intentions were seen through by Zhao Zhi, thus he could only pretend to have loose morals as he went on to say, “Last time I went to Jiangnan, I brought back a few talented virgin girls with beautiful looks, if Your Highness likes them, I won’t mind giving them up.”

Zhao Zhi averted his gaze and said indifferently, “No wonder your mother is urgently rushing you to marry.”

Sheng Wenlin brushed it off with a laugh.

As soon as she woke up, Zhao Xin rushed over to look for Ming Zhu, and didn’t leave even after not finding her. She waited for Ming Zhu for half an hour before she finally saw the person come back.

“Where did you go?”

“I went to the study.”

“Did my brother made you work?”

Ming Zhu shook her head, “It’s not really work.”

Zhao Xin stomped her foot, “His head is but a piece of wood, he doesn’t know how to cherish people at all.”

She pulled Ming Zhu into the room in order not to get sunburned by the sun outside. She asked, “Last night, my big brother didn’t find out we went to Chunxiang House, right?”

Zhao Xin muttered to herself, “I don’t think he did, I managed to ditch them all.”

Ming Zhu was somewhat a little reluctant to burst her beautiful dream, but she gently said, “He knows.”

“Huh?” Zhao Xin’s expression looked like the world was coming to an end, she grabbed her hand, “My big brother isn’t angry, is he?”

Ming Zhu reassured her, “No, last night, he was quite reasonable.”

Zhao Xin’s worried heart relaxed, “That’s good.” Her emotions went from up to down, “But it’s not like it’s the first time I’ve done something like this, my brother most probably is already be used to it.”

Finding her funny, Ming Zhu laughed at her words, and as she held back her laugh, two small dimples appeared on the corners of her mouth.

Zhao Xin couldn’t help but reach out her finger and gently poke her dimples, “So cute.”

Ming Zhu’s face turned as red as a peach, she still felt a little shy when she was being complimented.

The more Zhao Xin spent time with Ming Zhu, the more she felt that her brother wasn’t that good to Zhu Zhu at all, “Zhu Zhu.”

“Hmm?”

“It’s my birthday next month, at that time, you come to the palace with my brother, okay?”

A princess’s birthday banquet, of course, had to be organized on a large scale, with great fanfare. Zhao Xin liked extravagance and she also liked things to be lively.

Ming Zhu thought about it, “Okay.”

In return, Zhao Xin asked her in a low voice, “Do you want to see Wei Chiyu? I can take you to see him.”

Ming Zhu smiled, “No need.”

“Really?”

“Really.”

Zhao Xin had never seen a girl as gentle as Ming Zhu, she felt so comfortable when she was with her, so much so that her whole body felt relaxed. She felt that her brother should really marry her.

The status of a concubine was really too low.

Although Zhao Xin had grown up as a pampered princess, it didn’t mean that she was unaware about the nasty matters going on in women’s backyard, the difference in status was enough to crush a person to death.

She also heard that the Ming family didn’t attach much importance to her, didn’t care whether she lived or died, there was no need to even hope they would have her back in the future.

Zhao Xin couldn’t help her escape, but she could help her meet with her ex-fiancé, let them chat as a little consolation.

“It’s good that you don’t like my big brother.” She said with melancholy.

If she did, that would be even worse for her.
