The male protagonist has no descendants! Don't worry, the host is pregnant with many children

Chapter 479: The Heartless Regent King vs. the Scheming Princess 24

"Of course it's because he deserves to be beaten."

Lu Zhihuan turned around and looked straight at Lin Zhizhong, "It's rare that Mr. Lin, the top scholar, still remembers me, a discarded... child bride!"

996 [I won’t pretend any more, I’ll just do it.]

[I can't pretend at all, I'll just vent my anger first.]

The Yu family's eyes shifted between them.

Mother Yu couldn't help but wonder, "...What child bride?"

Father Yu was also full of doubts: "Master Lin, are you... acquainted with Zhihuan?"

"Lord Lin and I... are more than acquaintances." Lu Zhihuan raised the corners of his lips, half-smiling, and glanced at Lin Zhizhong sideways, asking nonchalantly, "Isn't that right, Lord Lin?"

Mother Lin was still trembling with fear. She pointed at Lu Zhihuan and said, "You...shouldn't you be in the brothel? How...why are you here?"

"Mom!" Lin Zhizhong was a little incredulous. "What did you say?"

Didn't his mother say that Xiao Huan was unwilling to continue serving her, so she had to run to the capital alone to find her, but she was killed by a villain not long after she got there.

Has she been buried?

Madam Yu's eyes widened in disbelief. "Sold to a brothel! Madam Lin, what do you mean by that?"

She looked at Lu Zhihuan again, her eyes as sharp as a knife, scanning her from head to toe, her gaze full of disgust and disappointment.

It's more like examining an object stained with filth.

Of course Lu Zhihuan could see what she meant. He had thought that he was counting on her to marry into a wealthy family to benefit the family.

Now, the look of frustrated expectations is really disgusting.

Lu Zhihuan sneered in his heart and glanced out indifferently. It was a good job for her to show her true face.

The look in Lin Zhizhong's eyes was complicated, with surprise, guilt, and more of regret and panic.

No wonder he felt that Mrs. Yu looked so familiar when he first saw her.

It turns out that Xiao Huan is the daughter of the Yu family.

If they didn't look the same, he really wouldn't have recognized her. After not seeing her for three years, she had grown into such a beautiful girl. Not even the young ladies from the aristocratic families in the capital could look like her.

Lin Zhizhong spoke with difficulty, "Xiao Huan, I sold you out... I had no idea. For the past three years, I..."

His hands clenched in his sleeves again and again. What should he say?

"Why didn't you say anything, Master Lin?" Lu Zhihuan chuckled. "Why? Can't you say it?"

"Then why don't I say it for you?"

"You're busy climbing the social ladder, busy flirting with the daughter of a high-ranking official, and discussing marriage?"

Mother Lin looked up at her son. This matter was indeed her fault. She couldn't let Zhong'er get hurt. Thinking of this, she hurriedly said, "Xiao Huan! It's all my fault. I acted on my own. It really has nothing to do with Zhong'er!"

Lu Zhihuan looked at Lin's mother, "It's okay? That's not what you said when you sold me.

You said that my presence would hinder his path and bother the official lady."

Lin Zhizhong listened to Lu Zhihuan's accusations, his head drooping lower and lower.

Lin's mother's face was pale and her body was shaking violently. She opened her mouth but could not explain herself.

Lu Zhihuan sneered inwardly, but didn't show it on his face. His voice was filled with sadness. "I was sold into the Lin family at the age of six. For all these years, I've been like a slave in the Lin family, doing laundry, cooking, and taking care of the old and the young. I didn't dare to slack off even a little. But what's the result?"

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a little cat's head peeking out from the door.

Her eyes immediately turned red, her voice choked, and she tried hard not to let the tears fall.

She continued to accuse him, "In order to be able to sit back and relax and marry the daughter of a high-ranking official, he cruelly sold me into a brothel, plunging me into a hopeless situation."

The Yu family understood everything completely.

Mother Yu stood up but couldn't help but stumble. The eldest brother of the Yu family quickly supported her, "Mother, be careful!"

Mother Yu looked at Lu Zhihuan distressedly, "Zhihuan, you've suffered so much. How on earth have you managed to survive all these years? Woo woo woo... My poor daughter."

Father Yu was so angry that he was shaking all over. He slammed the table and said, "Master Lin, I was blind at first. I thought you were a person of pure character and promising talent, so I allowed you to interact with Zhizhi. I didn't realize you were such a sycophant."

Madam Yu quickly comforted Yu Hongjie, "Master, please take care of yourself."

Yu's father pushed her away and said, "Lord Lin, as an official appointed by the imperial court, you actually allowed your family members to do such a heartless thing."

Lu Zhihuan leaned in Xuancao's arms, crying heartbrokenly.

She sneered in her heart when she heard their words. No one had asked her about her past for so many days since she came back. Isn't it a little late to feel sorry for her now?

Mother Lin was panicking at this moment and knelt down in front of the Yu family, "Master Yu, Old Madam Yu, this is all my fault, it has nothing to do with Zhong'er."

Lin Zhizhong lowered his head, not daring to meet his gaze, and also knelt and bowed. "Please calm down, sir. This is all my fault. How you deal with me... I will do whatever you wish."

He is now from the fifth rank, and the Yu family cannot do anything to him easily.

Lin Zhizhong couldn't help but look up at Lu Zhihuan, his eyes full of shame, "Xiao Huan, I know what you have done for me over the years.

How can I forget the ten years of friendship between you and me? I have never thought of letting you down."

Yu Zhizhi stood aside and said in astonishment, "Brother Zhong...you...what are you talking about?"

Lu Zhihuan wanted to give him a thumbs up for his shamelessness. This must be the best of both worlds.

How can it not make you die of beauty?

Madam Yu said nothing, but was weighing the pros and cons in her mind.

Yu Zhizhi also knew that her grandmother had the final say on this matter.

She quickly ran to Old Madam Yu, shaking her arm and begging, "Grandma, are you blaming Zhizhi for stealing her husband? The invitations to both families have been sent out, this..."

Lu Zhihuan curled her lips. This little bitch was quite good at grasping the key points. Old Madam Yu cared most about her face.

She wanted to see how they would end up.

"Okay, isn't this embarrassing enough?"

Old Madam Yu glanced at Lu Zhihuan coldly, as if blaming her for causing trouble and now letting such a scandal be exposed.

After a moment, she spoke in a cold voice, warning the servants in the hall, "If anyone dares to spread even a single word about what happened today and ruins the Yu family's reputation, don't blame me for punishing them according to the family rules."

"Yes." The servant in the hall knelt down and responded.

Madam Yu's face was as gloomy as water. She suppressed her emotions and said, "Invitations to both families have been sent out. Things have come to this. To save face for both families, the wedding must go ahead."

Lu Zhihuan lowered his eyes. It’s already like this, can he continue?

She looked at Yu's father and mother again, and they didn't object. Their own daughter had suffered so much, but no family member really stood up for her.

Just raise it high and put it down gently?

Madam Yu paused for a moment, then looked directly at Lin Zhizhong with a sharp gaze. "You have a deep bond with both girls, and I cannot be partial to them. Tomorrow, you will draw lots, and you will marry whoever you choose."

Lin Zhizhong had no choice but to "follow the old lady's instructions."

After hearing what she said, Lu Zhihuan wanted to slap her twice.

She didn't want this rubbish, "Grandma..."

Yu Zhizhi's heart was lifted as she looked at Lin Zhizhong eagerly.
