Chapter 484: The Heartless Regent King vs. the Scheming Princess 29
Xie Zhao knew that she was right, but he couldn't just ignore her.
[well!]
After sighing, he stumbled and followed.
Lu Zhihuan quickly arrived at the front hall, greeted the guests, and sat on the chair.
Xie Zhao ran to her feet and rubbed her calf.
[There are too many people here, can you pick me up?]
Lu Zhihuan ignored him and kicked him under his chair.
Xie Zhao rolled over after being kicked by her, and had no choice but to squat under the chair obediently.
Madam Yu spoke first, "Everyone is here, Cuilan!"
The nanny named Cuilan exchanged a glance with the old lady before coming out. She raised her hand to show the two sticks in her hand, one long and one short, which were very eye-catching.
Madam Yu said, "Lord Lin, this long stick represents Zhizhi, and the short stick represents Zhihuan. Madam Cui holds the two sticks in her hand, and you draw them. Whoever you draw is the one our Yu family will marry."
Lin Zhizhong stood up and bowed to the old lady. "Everything is up to Madam Yu's arrangements."
After he finished speaking, he shook his sleeves and walked forward slowly.
Yu Zhizhi nervously held the handkerchief in her hand and looked at Lin Zhizhong expectantly.
Lin Zhizhong slowly pulled out a stick and held it in his hand, but did not unfold it immediately.
After all, in order to be fair, he must be allowed to open his hand first.
Madam Yu smiled and said, "Lord Lin, you should show it to everyone."
as predicted.
After Lin Zhizhong bowed, he slowly unfolded the stick in his hand, which was a short one.
Madam Yu’s smile froze on her face.
What else did she not understand? Lin Zhizhong knew her methods.
There was a long stick in Cuilan's sleeve.
When drawing lots just now, Cuilan had already replaced the sticks in her hand with two long sticks.
So no matter how he drew, he would only get a long stick. Cuilan would break the stick in her hand and take it out again.
But now his stick is already short. The remaining two sticks will have to be broken off a lot to be shorter than this? That way, it can be seen at a glance.
Yu Zhizhi stood up suddenly when she saw this. "Impossible, how could it be?"
Her sharp voice broke the silence in the front hall.
Madam Yu's face darkened as she sternly reprimanded, "The drawing ceremony was fair and just. How can you be so outrageous?"
Yu Zhizhi turned to look at Lu Zhihuan again, her eyes filled with hatred, "Now you're satisfied! You took my identity, my family, and now my fiancé from me."
Lu Zhihuan didn't even raise his head. "Steal? My identity, my family, and my fiancé, they were all mine originally. How could I say they were stolen?"
When Lin Zhizhong heard what she said, he couldn't help but curl his lips. It turned out that Xiao Huan had always believed that he was her fiancé.
Xie Zhao stared at Lin Zhizhong with his little cat eyes, and the smile on his face made him feel uncomfortable.
[Tsk! ]
[Your actions are unnecessary.]
How about a bet?
Lu Zhihuan curled up the corners of her mouth and smiled. All she wanted was today's result.
Yu Zhizhi saw Lin Zhizhong staring at Lu Zhihuan, and she became even more furious. "You bitch, vixen!"
Ugly curses filled the entire front hall, and Father Yu couldn't help but scold her, "Zhizhi, look at the filthy language you're using. Is this what I taught you?"
Yu Zhizhi seemed to have gone completely mad, her chest heaving violently as she screamed frantically at the Yu family, "You keep saying you'll treat me the same, but what's the result?"
She sobbed and cried, "The marriage that was originally a done deal fell on her head, what is this?
You are obviously biased and you clearly love your own daughter so much that you want to marry her off in a grand ceremony.
What about me? I’m a joke now!”
Yu's father was shaking with anger, and Yu's mother looked at Yu Zhizhi with disappointment.
Old Madam Yu didn't want to make today's incident a big deal, after all, she still had a backup plan.
"Come here, take the young lady away."
"Grandma..." Yu Zhizhi cried bitterly and looked at Lin Zhizhong, "Brother Zhong! Even you don't want Zhizhi anymore? Are you really willing to marry a girl who came from a brothel..."
There was a "pop".
Lu Zhihuan raised his hand and slapped her hard, and five finger marks instantly appeared on Yu Zhizhi's fair face.
Lu Zhihuan said coldly: "My grandmother confirmed my innocence yesterday, and you still have the nerve to slander me.
If it weren't for your mother's secret scheme to replace the real with the fake, how could I have suffered for sixteen years?
On the contrary, you have been occupying my nest for so many years, and you have never felt guilty since I came back. Instead, you have been pressuring me everywhere.
If the Yu family hadn't doted on you, how could you dare to slander me so wantonly now?"
Yu Zhizhi covered her cheeks and glared at her, "Don't you love pretending to be well-behaved in front of your family? Why can't you pretend anymore?"
There was a cold glint in Lu Zhihuan's eyes, and she was completely different from the well-behaved and gentle person she usually was in front of her family, speaking softly and gently.
She said in a cold voice, "That depends on whether it's suitable or not!"
Madam Yu just felt embarrassed and quickly waved her hands.
The two maids from yesterday came up to her, blocked her mouth, and dragged her out.
Seeing this, Lin Zhizhong's face was full of guilt and he sighed softly.
When I looked up again, I saw the sarcastic smile on Lu Zhihuan's face.
He pursed his lips uncomfortably.
Lu Zhihuan stood up and looked at the Yu family. "Even if the Yu family rejected this marriage, so what? That was just a face-saving move, but now they've lost everything. Who the hell is he? Choosing a wife by drawing lots? How ridiculous."
She turned and left, and the little kitten Xie Zhao quickly followed her.
Old Madam Yu's face turned pale. She was already unhappy about being tricked by Lin Zhizhong. This granddaughter was no pushover either.
Lin Zhizhong bowed to Madam Yu and hurriedly chased after her.
Seeing that she had already passed through the corridor and turned into the hanging flower gate, he hurriedly called her.
"Xiao Huan!"
Lu Zhihuan stopped and slowly turned around.
Xie Zhao rushed over and fell headfirst at her feet.
"Meow!"
[Ah! It's all my fault for not being able to control my legs.]
Lu Zhihuan looked down at him, and his expression suddenly softened.
She bent down, picked him up, and held him in her arms, scratching his little chin. "Be good, Mimi, let me check if you're hurt."
It was as if he used the gentlest tone he had ever used.
When she looked up at him, not only her face, but her whole body exuded a coldness that kept people at a distance.
"Is something wrong?"
These two words seem particularly strange and distant.
The contrast between before and after was extremely huge, and Lin Zhizhong felt very complicated.
In the past, she was as obedient as a little lamb and obeyed everything she said.
But now, she is not afraid of anyone, and dares to refute with dominance and expose the truth with sharp words without mercy, which makes him feel unfamiliar.
Xie Zhao looked at him with displeasure.
[Why bother with him?]
[It's just playing the emotional card!]
Of course Lu Zhihuan knew it, and he really wanted to hear what he had to say!
