C75 (1/2)
Before Sun Jinzi even returned to the courtyard, the butler was already waiting for her in the front courtyard.
”Miss, the old master invited you.”
Sun Jinzi felt that it was very strange. Looking at the color of the sky, it was still early.
”Thank you, Housekeeper Li.”
Housekeeper Li had been in charge in the Sun Mansion for many years, not being close to anyone, but not standing on either side. However, he did not use his authority to show any disrespect to the lord of the mansion.
”Miss, First Lady was also released.”
Sun Jinzi's footsteps paused, and the Housekeeper Li who was half a step behind her also stopped. Knowing that this was a reminder from Housekeeper Li, Sun Jinzi felt extremely grateful in her heart.
”Thank you, Housekeeper Li.”
Housekeeper Li only smiled and did not reply. However, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If he were to say that the ones he cared about the most in this residence was the Lady Qian s.
He directly went from the main house to the concubinage, and the young mistress also went from being a direct descendant to being a concubine. This was still a huge difference. Fortunately, Lady Qian had never fought before, and she felt that of the three misses, she was the one who understood the general situation.
”Daughter greets father.”
was still a little surprised when she entered the antechamber. She did not expect the Zhong's to release it so quickly, and that the Lance's would actually sit on the chair. Even his own mother was sitting upright, making it seem as if she had done something that heaven couldn't tolerate.
Lowering his head, he waited for Sun Fuping to wake up.
Sun Fuping's face was stern, but his eyes were darting around. Today, Prime Minister Zhong had purposely nominated him, clearly showing his goodwill. He naturally had to be cautious, and let Zhong's go.
But unfortunately, Meng Er returned right after Zhong's released him. Originally, everything was fine, but upon seeing Zhong's, he had already cried to the point of tears. He was still sobbing in Qian's disease's embrace, but his eyes were looking in Sun Jinzi's direction from time to time.
Zhong's had long hated Sun Jinzi to the core after being locked up for a few days, so he naturally wanted to make use of this opportunity to properly punish him.
Lance's's eyes were also full of resentment. Now that his daughter was no longer here and his son was going out to do public work with First Prince, only she was left in the household. She didn't dare to say anything, but he couldn't take this lying down.
He glanced around and found that his mother was the only one who was worried. Sun Jinzi really wanted to tell her not to worry, but she couldn't say anything. She could only shake her head slightly towards Qian's disease.
How could Qian's disease not be worried? Even if her daughter did something wrong, she could forgive her. But in her heart, she was worried that she wouldn't be able to protect her daughter.
The cool feeling on the ground only reached Sun Jinzi's heart through the thick layer of clothes.
”Who did you see today?”
Sun Jinzi knew that Sun Jinmeng had already told this matter to Sun Fuping and the Zhong's when she came back, so she did not plan to hide anything.
When Sun Fuping heard that there was indeed a Sixth Prince, he was overjoyed. However, after realizing that there was a Zhong's present, his expression became serious, but his mind was constantly calculating.
He knew that the Sixth Prince had personally come to inform him that Sun Jinzi was going to visit the Sensory Temple. Today, when he had met the Sixth Prince in the imperial court, he was wondering if the Sixth Prince was going to go visit the Sensory Temple.
Now that he knew that Sixth Prince had indeed gone there, he was very happy in his heart. It seems that the Sixth Prince does have feelings for his daughter.
”Right now, your marriage with First Prince has not been annulled, and you are now meeting with him in private. Where is your Pure Maiden Ring?”
Zhong's's hand heavily slapped on the table, shocking the tea cup so much that it jumped. The sound of porcelain colliding with porcelain caused Sun Jinzi's heart to skip a beat. When she looked at the Zhong's, Sun Jinzi felt that this woman was no longer the same as before. She was just playing some tricks in her heart.
”Mother, I have not met with Sixth Prince in private, nor have I met with his alone.”
Her gaze seemed to point towards Sun Jinmeng, causing Sun Jinmeng's heart to feel numb, she knew what Sun Jinzi meant.
”You truly have no sense of shame. You shouldn't have met with an outsider. In the future, you should just live in the ancestral hall and plagiarize a woman's ring, right?”
Sun Jinzi calmly looked at Zhong's, her peripheral vision did not miss Sun Fuping's hesitant expression.
If the Zhong's did this, then he only had two paths to walk. If he could not marry the First Prince, then he could only walk alone in the ancestral hall until he turned old. Her life had been controlled for a lifetime, and she didn't want to continue living like this.
In her previous life, she was going to marry Sun Jinmeng because he was unwilling to marry the Sixth Prince who had lost his power. Because Jin Chuxuan had already entered the sect first and because she was full of resistance, she did not mind Jin Chupei's kindness towards her at all, so much that she even scattered all his resentment onto him.
If not for that, she thought that even if she married Jin Chupei, she would slowly accept it. It was they who had delayed her life. Furthermore, if not for her help, she didn't believe that Jin Chuxuan would be able to easily kill Jin Chupei and sit on the throne.
Back then, Sun Fuping had lowered his mother to concubinage for the sake of the Prime Minister Zhong and married her to the Zhong's. Now, why hadn't he given up on himself for the sake of Sixth Prince, whose status and position was higher than the First Prince?
Sun Jinzi was betting, betting that her father would not give up on him. For power and status, he would protect himself.
Master, Madam, Zi Er is still young and inexperienced, you can't take her with you like this.
