Chapter 141: Frightened by Gu Yizhi's Ruthlessness

When Lin Rongrong saw Xia Zheng coming over, she didn't know where to put her hands and feet. Seeing her salute, she was even more confused and didn't know what to do.

It was the little maidservant who followed him who whispered to him, "Return Pingli, Pingli."

Lin Rongrong then accepted it and raised her hand to return the greeting. After Xia Zheng stood up, she stood up as well, but she didn't dare to look at her and her eyes wandered around.

Today is the third time Xia Zheng has met Lin Rongrong, so today counts as two times.

Although she hadn't seen it often, these three times made her curious.

Lin Rongrong is the granddaughter of the Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple, and the Lin family is considered a big family. So even though she is young, she shouldn't be so panicked.

Gu Yingxin is younger than her, but her manners and speech are all of a noble demeanor. This is the result of being nurtured by an aristocratic family since childhood.

But Lin Rongrong has none of that, and is even worse than Tuan'er. Even the gift she just gave was wrong.

The maidservants around her also looked only slightly better than her.

Today was the same. Even if Lin Rongrong didn't understand, if someone around her did, they wouldn't let her go to Zhou Lin to persuade her. It would be asking for trouble.

Is he pretending?

"Concubine Lin has been with me all the way, but what do you want to talk to me about?"

Lin Rongrong immediately shook her head, then nodded, looking at her with trembling eyelashes and whispered, "I...I came to thank you."

"Thank me? Why?" Xia Zheng didn't remember what she had done to help Lin Rongrong.

"Thank you...thank you...thank you for saving Brother Zhao."

Brother Zhao?

Xia Zheng searched her mind for a while before she suddenly realized that the Brother Zhao Lin Rongrong was referring to was Zhao Liu.

"The concubine is acquainted with Zhao Liu?"

"We're acquaintances. He helped me find my mother's belongings, so thank you for saving him today."

Her mother's relics?

Xia Zheng looked at the list and it clearly said Mrs. Lin, so how could there be any relics there?

But Lin Rongrong didn't look like she was lying, and there was no need to lie like that, as it would be easily exposed.

"You, Concubine, don't need to thank me. Zhao Liu is from the Internal Affairs Office, which I manage. I should seek justice for him if he was wronged. As for you and Zhao Liu, if your belongings were lost while passing through the Internal Affairs Office, it is their responsibility and you don't deserve to be thanked. Even if you, Concubine, want to thank someone, it should be the Crown Prince. Without the Crown Prince's intervention, Zhao Liu wouldn't be alive today."

When Gu Yizi was mentioned, the expression on Lin Rongrong's face became visibly fearful. Her body shuddered and then tightened, as if she had seen something extremely terrifying.

"That's true, but... I'm really afraid of the prince."

"Are you afraid of men?" Her condition looked even more serious than Chunzhi's, perhaps it was the same illness.

Lin Rongrong shook her head and said in a weak voice, "I'm just afraid of the prince."

"Has the concubine met the prince before?"

Lin Rongrong still shook her head. "Today... today is the first time I've seen one... it's like... a yaksha. I really don't dare get close."

Yaksha?

Xia Zheng never thought that these two words could be related to Gu Yizi.

Even though Gu Yizi would inadvertently release a deterrent effect and was indeed terrifying when he had a cold face, that was only in terms of momentum. His face, which was rare in the world, was enough to offset everything.

Not to mention that she is even more captivating when there is a smile in her eyes, which can never be matched with such an ugly word as Yaksha.

Fortunately, Gu Yizi walked quickly. If he had heard it, who knows what expression he would have.

"Aren't you afraid? The prince was just about to marry Sister Zhou off to someone else, or else... send her back to the Zhou family. If it weren't for your plea, Sister Zhou would have been dead. Aren't you afraid that the prince would..."

Lin Rongrong didn't continue speaking, her eyes were full of fear.

It turned out that she was frightened by Gu Yizi's ruthlessness.

But Xia Zheng couldn't tell for a moment whether Lin Rongrong really believed it or was just finding an excuse to pretend to be afraid.

After all, Gu Yizi's words sounded cruel, but he didn't actually take any action.

Anyone who knows a little about Gu Yizi and how they were able to get in will know that if Gu Yizi really didn't want to give Zhou Lin a chance to live, he wouldn't have said a word and would have just done it. Would the Zhou family still dare to make trouble with Gu Yizi for a concubine's daughter?

Xue Wuyang didn't even receive such treatment, let alone Zhou Lin.

Although Gu Yizi had no feelings for Zhou Lin and others, he was not the kind of person who would easily end his life, otherwise he would not have kept her in the first place.

She was just cooperating with her to scare Zhou Lin, who was already panicking.

But she did not intend to excuse Gu Yizi. After all, these people were not sure of Gu Yizi's thoughts, so that she would have less trouble in the future and today's efforts would not be in vain.

"I'm not afraid of the prince."

Xia Zheng answered with such conviction that Lin Rongrong looked at her in surprise, as if she were a lone hero who was not afraid of hardship or life or death. She excitedly stepped forward and said, "Then...then could you please thank the prince for me? I really don't dare...but I should..."

"No." Xia Zheng refused.

Lin Rongrong was about to say something, but Xia Zheng spoke first, "If the concubine truly wants to thank the prince, she should do it herself. I can't do it for her."

Regardless of whether Lin Rongrong really wanted to thank her or had other intentions, Xia Zheng had no intention of taking up the matter. Her current status with Lin Rongrong was delicate, and it was best to keep her neither too close nor too far.

After hearing what Xia Zheng said, Lin Rongrong nodded dejectedly, her eyes reddened as she pursed her lips and whispered, "I understand. Then... then I... I'll leave first."

After saying that, Lin Rongrong fled away.

"She seems to be crying." Frost Snow, who was following behind, walked closer and said.

"This Concubine Lin is so strange. Su Rong didn't say anything excessive, so why is she crying?" Shuangjiang was confused and didn't understand why Lin Rongrong was crying.

"Let Yang Xun find out more about the Lin family."

Although Xia Zheng didn't want to have anything to do with Lin Rongrong, she had to be prepared when someone came to her door, so as not to be caught off guard.

But that was a matter for later. Now she had to hurry and inform Tao Yurong.

A real report.

While Xia Zheng was having lunch with Ruanruan, a booklet that wrote the whole story from beginning to end was delivered to Nanny Niu of Fanghuayuan.

Looking at the folded book in her hand, Nanny Niu felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, especially her neck, which felt an especially cold breeze.

"My Su Rong said that she dared not disturb the Crown Princess's rest, so I had to write the cost. Thank you, Madam. I will hand it over to the Crown Princess when she is better."

Frost lowered his voice, but as Xia Zheng instructed, he moved closer to the door of the main room and spoke every word clearly to ensure that every word could be transmitted without missing a word.

Although she thought the Crown Princess was in a coma and couldn't hear anything, she saw that Niu Ma's face had turned green. She reached out and pushed her away, saying, "I understand. Miss Shuangjiang, please go back and don't bother the Crown Princess."

Frost Jiang left obediently, and when Frost Jiang's figure completely walked out of the door of Fanghuayuan, Nanny Niu felt that the main door behind her opened.
