The Zhu Men has a daughter 026 so-called infatuation
However, what made Yuan Yi disappointed was that after Zhang took over the house for many years, the slaves who served him personally were all loyal and tight-lipped about the matter of the slap on that day. Even if Lan Mei used all her skills to investigate, she couldn't get a single word out of them.
So her unease in her heart grew stronger, always feeling that this matter would not be easily settled, but she could not get any news, and could only anxiously wait.
She never thought that the turning point of things would come so soon, and this opportunity was still brought by Zhang Zhongxi.
As for the relationship between the Zhang and Zhu families, it had dropped to freezing point since the day they broke off the engagement. The only reason they hadn't completely fallen out was because there was a member of the Zhang family in the Zhu household. As a result, interactions between the two families became less frequent with each passing day.
It so happened that on this day, Zhang Jia's young master Zhang Zhongxi brought heavy gifts to apologize, and Zhu Changren received him due to his feelings, leaving him in the main hall for lunch.
Yuan Yi had a habit of taking a stroll after lunch, and on this day, he was walking in the corridor with Hanmei and Sumei. Suddenly, they ran into Zhang Zhongxu, who was wearing a blue robe. Yuan Yi's body paused for a moment, and just as he turned around to leave, he didn't move after all.
Just at this moment, Zhang Zhongxi had already walked to her side, his dark eyes staring at her fixedly, his face colder than ever before. He lowered his body and questioned her: "I didn't expect you to actually hand over the name list to Xiao Congyuan."
He stood firm and unmoving, ignoring his accusations, and countered: "I didn't expect you to be so ruthless as to plot against my second sister."
Zhang Zhongxi's eyes darkened, and he found her expressionless face to be exceptionally annoying. He grabbed her hand and said angrily: "You also believe in Xiao Congyuan's words? Yi'er, I thought you admired me."
For some reason, at this moment, Yuan Yi only wanted to sneer, his dark and quiet eyes staring at him unblinkingly. "Is this the reason you think I'll obey?" Seeing the expression on his face that should be so, Yuan Yi let out a sigh in his heart, broke free from his grasp, and with a flick of his sleeve, proudly said: "Then, Big Brother, you're underestimating me, Zhu Yuan Yi."
Zhang Zhongxi's face suddenly turned extremely ugly, and at this moment, a clear drink sounded from behind him, "What are you doing!"
As the sound of footsteps approached, Yuan Yi's delicate and jealous face appeared in front of the two. Her suspicious and guarded gaze stared straight at Yuan Yi, looking exactly like a wife catching her husband cheating, causing Yuan Yi's face to be filled with mockery.
Zhang Zhongxi's face sank slightly, without even looking at Yuan Yi, he turned and left.
Yuan Yi's face twisted instantly, and she stamped her foot in frustration at Zhang Zhongxi's back, but when she saw the mocking expression on Yuan Yi's face, she couldn't help but retort: "What are you so proud of? Wait until we enter the palace, I'll see how you cry then."
Yuan Yi's face suddenly fell, his fingertips tightened, and he asked sternly: "What do you mean by this?"
Yuanyi raised his head with a pleased expression, glanced at her disdainfully and said: "Calculating the time, it's nothing to tell you. My intention is very clear, that is, you have been included in the list of imperial concubine selection."
Her mind was struck as if by lightning, her whole body cold, she remembered the promise of Zhu's father that day, her heart like dead ashes, muttering repeatedly: "How could it be, how could Father..."
"My uncle is the Minister of Justice, after all, and he can make people disappear without Father even noticing..." Yuan Yi's words were cut off as Yuan Yi, revitalized, pushed her away. Before she could scold him, he saw her dash towards the back door.
Seeing her two maidservants following closely behind, Yuan Yi's eyebrows furrowed and she muttered, "Wretched woman!"
