Chapter 182 - Era of Peace (2)
Qiu Jinzhi did not even turn to look at him, he stopped Bai Ze who was about to leave and asked: "What do you mean keep your distance, are you not related to my family? And now you're turning your back on me? What do you mean? Do you want me to just let you go at once? " Qiu Jinzhi said.
Bai Ze raised her head and looked at Qiu Jinzhi. In these three years that they had not met, Qiu Jinzhi had grown quite a bit. Even though he was angry, he was still very gentle.
"Nope."
"If not, then give me an explanation!" Qiu Jinzhi said.
Bai Ze looked to her left and right streets were filled with people, she could not help but to pull Qiu Jinzhi's hand. Let's go back and talk. "
Qiu Jinzhi let Bai Ze hold her hand, and let her drag him along as she pleases. "Alright …"
When Bai Ze looked back at Qiu Jinzhi once more, he was no longer angry. When they reached official residence, Bai Ze poured Qiu Jinzhi a cup of water. I'm fine now. "
Qiu Jinzhi looked at the official residence, and took a sip from his cup. It's still better to stay in College. "
Bai Ze did not speak.
Qiu Jinzhi said: "Actually, you already know about it?"
"Yes." I once again returned to the west capital, I feel that I have the chance, so don't get involved. " Bai Ze said.
Qiu Jinzhi: "I did it for myself. I don't want to get involved. You must know to protect yourself, because your name is also related to our Bai Family. You must always remember this identity of your Bai Family's adopted son.
Bai Ze's words were correct. She had always thought that she was alone, but now that she looked back, she realized that Bai Family had always been supportive of her as well. It was just that she had never told her about these things.
She lowered her head and apologized to Qiu Jinzhi: "Sorry, I was only thinking about myself."
"It's fine, since you want to break up, then we'll find a proper reason to break up." Qiu Jinzhi said.
Bai Ze raised his head, slightly puzzled.
"A person who only knows how to take revenge all day long, even though it has been so long, you still keep it in your heart. Such a small heart and such a small bearing, it truly goes against Lieutenant Lin's reputation all those years ago. I think you are a villain."
Bai Ze lost her voice, "You …" She felt a sudden chill in her heart. From the soles of her feet to the bottom of his heart. That feeling was even more painful than if a knife was inserted into his heart. It was even more deadly!
Qiu Jinzhi continued to speak, "I had originally wanted to see how you would improve after going to the Tianyuan County for three years, but never would I have thought that you would still behave like this even after becoming an official." The folding fan in his hand suddenly extended, emitting a noble aura from within.
Qiu Jinzhi looked at the furious Bai Ze who was looking at the door. Their gazes did not meet Bai Ze in the slightest.
"She picked up the cup on the table and smashed it on the ground." We are indeed going further and further away, so don't look for me anymore, what do you mean by joining the court together with me? I think you're just waiting for me to add insult to injury? " Bai Ze looked at the porcelain pieces on the ground. These pieces felt as if their feelings for each other back in College had been shattered.
Qiu Jinzhi shook the folding fan in his hand and slowly walked out. Before he took it away, he had even rung the alarm for Bai Ze: "Don't forget about us, the adopted sons of Qiu Family."
After which, he walked out of the room. Just as he was about to leave, he bumped into someone he knew. It was none other than King Rui.
When Qiu Jinzhi saw that it was King Rui, he took a step back and bowed with his hands folded in front. He suppressed his temper and said, "Greetings, Prince."
King Rui nodded slightly. He looked at Qiu Jinzhi and Bai Ze with an unpleasant expression.
In the house, Bai Ze suddenly heard that Qiu Jinzhi was outside bowing to the king. She also raised her head, and bowed to King Rui. This humble subject pays his respects to the Prince. "
"No need for formalities." King Rui said plainly.
They were alone in the room.
Bai Ze raised her head and looked at King Rui who she had not seen for three years. He still had that indifferent look on her face, but she looked even thinner than three years ago. This man was originally her husband, but now she was the husband of another woman, and she even had a son.
Everything was hers.
Bai Ze lowered her head slightly and poured a cup of water for King Rui.
King Rui looked at Bai Ze and said, "Why are you not daring to look at me?"
Bai Ze replied, "No."
"We know each other. You never seem to look at me right now." King Rui asked.
With that said, it seemed like he had not seen King Rui's face for a long time. In most cases, Bai Ze would always want to avoid King Rui, because she had already lost everything. However, when he thought about it again, he realized that he had already fallen in love with Qu Weizhu before the marriage.
Bai Ze looked up and smiled at King Rui as she said, "My lord, you are indeed a dragon and phoenix amongst men!" This way, it would be said in this room.
After King Rui heard this, he laughed out loud: "What kind of man? This king is just a normal person, it's just that Bai Ze is a rare talent!" There was a fight with Qiu Jinzhi just now. Although Bai Ze was the adopted son of the Qiu Family, and although their brothers argued, they were still family.
Just like what Qiu Jinzhi said just now, there was a family backing Bai Ze, this family was different from the others' powerful families, it was a huge consortium!
What do they need to do in such a big consortium? What he needed to do was to pay for the support of a sufficient number of soldiers!
King Rui needed such an army! Even though he was just an adopted son, there was still a possibility of him turning the sky upside down!
Bai Ze remained distant from King Rui. To be exact, her eyes were filled with hesitation.
However, King Rui appreciated her talent and said, "Hmm, I know about it myself. I told you about it four years ago, do you know about it?"
Of course Bai Ze remembered that she still had that piece of jade on the desk that was not too far away from her.
Bai Ze slightly moved two steps, just in time to block King Rui's view.
"Yes, I remember."
King Rui originally wanted to walk into the room, but he was suddenly stopped by Bai Ze.
Rui Dynasty looked around the Table and realized there was nothing strange on it.
"What's wrong?" King Rui asked.
