Koi Fleeing Famine: I Picked Up a Chief Assistant as a Husband

Chapter 169 Rejected
The news that the prime minister's daughter was bitten by a poisonous snake in Hongzhuang Pavilion spread in the capital, which made many people afraid to go to Hongzhuang Pavilion again, and the business of Hongzhuang Pavilion plummeted as a result.

Lu Nanzhi specially brought gifts to visit the Prime Minister's residence, but unfortunately, she was thrown out without seeing anyone. She leaned in front of the stone lion, dejected.

"Hey, this is not Miss Lu, but what is the problem? Do you need your Highness's help?" Jun Ziheng showed a mocking smile on his lips, and this is the end of going against him.

Lu Nanzhi raised his eyelids and glanced at the person coming, then continued to hang his head.

Seeing that she was ignoring him, Jun Ziheng's face was gloomy: "Lu Nanzhi, do you still have the right to challenge His Highness?"

Only then did Lu Nanzhi turn his gaze from the ground to him, with contempt in his eyes: "What do you mean by your Highness? The daughter of the people just wants to do business in peace, why do you insist on being aggressive? It is possible that what happened this time is also your fault ?”

"What nonsense are you talking about? You are not worthy of His Royal Highness's action. It seems that there are many people in the capital who hate you!"

When Jun Ziheng heard about the accident at the Red Dressing Pavilion, he didn't care about the beautiful concubine around him, and eagerly asked his subordinates to find out what happened.

After knowing the matter, he received a letter from his mother and concubine, asking him to bring supplements to visit the prime minister's mansion.

He didn't want to come to the prime minister's mansion, but he dared not disobey the order of his mother and concubine.

Lu Nanzhi stood up straight, and said coldly: "I hope it is as His Highness said."

After speaking, Lu Nanzhi was about to leave, but Jun Ziheng stood in front of her.

"His Highness advises you not to be too arrogant. If you dare to provoke His Highness again, His Highness will make your death even worse."

Lu Nanzhi raised his eyebrows, his eyes were full of sarcasm, "How dare a girl offend His Highness, His Highness is asking for trouble."

Her attitude completely angered Jun Ziheng, he raised his hand to pinch her neck, pressed on the stone lion and said viciously: "Believe it or not, my Highness will kill you right now!"

Lu Nanzhi was almost suffocated by him, she grabbed his hand with both hands, opened it forcefully, panting heavily, "The prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people, Your Highness is not afraid of the emperor's punishment?"

"You dare to threaten my majesty!" Jun Ziheng showed a ferocious expression on his face, he couldn't bear to be threatened by others, especially this woman.

Lu Nanzhi raised his hand to pull out the hairpin on his head, and was about to do it when there was a sound of footsteps behind him.

"What is Second Highness going to do?" Prime Minister Luo walked out of the mansion with the servant.

Lu Nanzhi was taken aback, watching Prime Minister Luo approaching, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly hid the hairpin in his sleeve.

Jun Ziheng let go of his hand in a panic, and explained: "My Highness heard that Qingyan was injured in the Red Makeup Pavilion, and saw the owner of the Red Makeup Pavilion standing here complaining that Qingyan made her business bad, so I was short of breath..."

Lu Nanzhi covered his throat and coughed twice, and then immediately argued: "The Second Highness's ability to turn black and white has really improved."

"Qingyan hasn't woken up yet, I'm afraid that I will neglect the Second Highness, so please ask the Second Highness to come back." Luo Cheng cupped his hands at him.

Lu Nanzhi raised his eyes, saw the man whose face changed slightly, and then glanced at Prime Minister Luo with a cold face, these two seemed to be at odds?

Jun Ziheng clenched his hands in his sleeves, and said again: "My Highness is already here, Prime Minister Luo will not invite my Highness to sit in?"

"Please forgive me, Your Highness."

Prime Minister Luo didn't mean that he didn't want the second prince to enter the mansion.

This made Lu Nanzhi even more curious. Could it be that there is some festival between the two of them.

Jun Ziheng sneered, with an angry look on his brows and eyes, he shook his sleeves and led the person away.

Seeing this, Lu Nanzhi stepped forward, before he could speak, Prime Minister Luo said coldly: "Miss Lu, please go back too, you are not welcome here either!"

She wanted to explain that Prime Minister Luo didn't give her a chance at all and asked someone to close the door.

Lu Nanzhi left discouraged. At the corner, seeing the person leaning on the wall, he forced a smile, "Why are you here? Are you investigating the case again?"

Shen Lanze looked at her with arms folded, "Didn't I tell you not to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"Miss Luo had an accident in my shop after all, so you should come and see it both emotionally and rationally."

Lu Nanzhi didn't want to take this opportunity to explain anything, he just wanted to see if Luo Qingyan woke up.

Although Ye Jinyan had told her more than once that Luo Qingyan's health was fine, she was still a little worried.

"So? Did you see that?"

Shen Lanze had seen everything just now, and the reason why she was not allowed to come was because she knew that Luo Cheng would never let her in, so why bother to make fun of herself.

Lu Nanzhi lowered his head and didn't say a word, feeling rather aggrieved in his heart.

Shen Lanze sighed, not intentionally to teach her a lesson, but just couldn't bear to see her humbled and rejected by others.

"When Luo Qingyan wakes up, the truth will come to light. You have done a good job of what you should do, so you don't need to take this matter to heart."

Lu Nanzhi raised his eyes to look at her, pouted aggrievedly, "I'm not afraid that Prime Minister Luo will embarrass you in court."

Otherwise, she would not come to this poor place, even if the business of Hongzhuang Pavilion is not as good as before, she still has the business of Chunfenglou and Buzhuang.

Shen Lanze went over and held her in his arms, and whispered in her ear: "I have wronged you."

He didn't know that Nan Zhi came to the Prime Minister's Mansion for him, but he thought it was for Hongzhuang Pavilion, and he felt a little guilty. It was his lack of ability that made Nan Zhi worry so much about him.

Lu Nanzhi hugged him, smelling the fragrance from his body, all the grievances disappeared.

Luo Qingyan woke up under the meticulous care of the maid. Lan Zhu saw the sober young lady and immediately went to report to the Prime Minister without even noticing that she bumped into someone.

The little servant girl looked at the back of her leaving in a hurry, and then glanced at the room she came out of, feeling a little flustered.

She carried the tray and walked towards the room step by step, put down the tray and closed the door, her eyes were cold and frightening.

He took off the hairpin on his head and walked slowly towards the inner room. When he saw the person lying on the bed, he approached carefully holding the hairpin.

"Master Xiang, this servant really saw Miss move her finger."

The servant girl heard voices coming from outside the door, and hurriedly put the hairpin back on her head, and rushed to the bed.

"Miss, ma'am?"

Prime Minister Luo and Lan Zhu heard the voice, stepped in quickly and saw the person beside the bed asking sharply, "What are you doing here?"

"Master Xiang, this servant girl seems to have opened her eyes when she saw Miss just now." The servant girl wept with joy.

Prime Minister Luo strode over, sat on the edge of the bed, held Luo Qingyan's hand, "Girl, don't scare dad anymore, wake up quickly."

"Father is only your daughter. If you don't wake up, what should I do?"

"Qingyan, Qingyan!"

After hearing the news, Aunt Zhou stopped and twisted the embroidered handkerchief tightly in her hand, praying in her heart that it would be best for Luo Qingyan never to wake up.

Otherwise, the master will never see her, and never go to her room.

"Wake up, wake up."

"Miss is awake!"

When Aunt Zhou heard the voice, her figure flickered, but fortunately, the maid beside her helped her up in time.
