The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 853 Listen to the corner

Lu Luo glanced at Zeng Chongqi and said, "It is too early to make a conclusion on whether Miss Meng will marry into the East Palace. But if Miss Meng does not become the Crown Princess, then I, Lu Luo, want to marry her, and Master Zeng's cousin from another family is not qualified to make such a conclusion."

"My cousin is not qualified, and you as a member of the Lu family are even less qualified!" Considering the opposing positions of the Meng and Lu families, Zeng Chongqi's words hit Lu Luo's sore spot.

Lu Luo was really shocked: "You!"

"Besides, you are not good at civil or military affairs. How can you give Yaoyao a stable and happy life?" Zeng Chongqi said in a factual way, his tone getting colder and colder. "Even if Lu Fuyin is looking for a military position for you, it is still unknown whether you can take office smoothly, whether you can hold on, and whether you can rise to the top. How can you dare to marry Yaoyao when you are so unpredictable?"

He snorted coldly: "Even if I line up, I can't even get you in line after going around the capital!"

Lu Luo's previous impression of Zeng Chongqi was definitely not that he was good at speaking, but Zeng Chongqi, who was protecting his food at this moment, made him look at him differently: "I never thought that Master Zeng cared about me so much. Master Zeng knew everything about my affairs."

"Your brother originally planned to target the Embroidered Uniform Guard, but unfortunately Commander Cheng didn't buy your brother's idea." After Lu Sen was frustrated, Zeng Chongqi also learned about this matter later.

Lu Luo didn't know that Lu Sen had asked Cheng Xin for help because of him. Now that he knew about it, he was deeply moved: "No matter what position my elder brother has arranged for me, as long as it is finalized and my elder brother says I can do it, then I will do it. Taking office, persisting, and rising straight to the top are not a problem! Yaoyao is only fifteen years old now, and has just started to discuss marriage. Not to mention the selection of the Crown Princess next year, even before that, I dare to compete for it. Do you dare?"

He has been a mischievous person since he was young, and he can really say and do what he says. Zeng Chongqi is different. He has been obedient since he was young, so he doesn't dare to do that!

Zeng Chongqi was indeed choked and couldn't say anything affirmative for a long time.

Seeing this, he also snorted coldly.

Zeng Chongqi heard the snort and looked up at Lu Luo. Their eyes met. The responsibility on his shoulders and the love in his heart were silently tearing each other apart at this moment.

He had to admit that he didn't quite dare.

The more than one hundred lives of the Zeng family and the hundreds of lives of the Zeng clan behind him reminded him all the time that as a son of the Zeng family and the future pillar of the Zeng family, he should not act on impulse and should not regard romance as more important than responsibility. If one side really has to be sacrificed, it must be his emotions that are sacrificed.

After staring at each other in silence for a while, Zeng Chongqi and Lu Luo looked away at the same time.

Meng Shisan was lying on her stomach behind one side of the courtyard wall. She hadn't heard any movement for a long time. She glanced at the locust bird, and the bird understood and was about to move, but she held it down in time and covered its mouth with her quick eyes and hands.

So as to avoid any noise that would ruin the atmosphere of her eavesdropping.

Slowly calming down, she slowly backed away.

When she first heard the locust bird chirping on her windowsill, she didn't want to pay any attention to it. However, the locust bird flew into the house and pecked at the edge of her hung curtains.

She finally sat up, got out of bed, stared at the bird helplessly, and followed it to the base of the wall on the left side of the front courtyard gate. Soon she heard two voices outside the wall.

One is Zeng Chongqi and the other is Lu Luo.

She carefully brought a wooden ladder nearby, climbed up the wall quietly, and listened curiously at the corner.

She wanted to know why they were not sleeping in the middle of the night and came to the gate of Meng Mansion. Unexpectedly, after listening for a while, all the topics were about her. It was still about who she should marry.

It's really worrying.

She didn't think it was any of their business whether she married Li Shou or anyone else other than Li Shou. No matter how much they argued, there would be no result.

Holding the beak of the locust bird in one hand and slowly descending the wooden ladder with the other, Meng Shisan retreated smoothly from the courtyard wall without making any sound, and naturally would not alarm the two people outside the courtyard wall.

She came quietly and left quietly.

Zeng Chongqi and Lu Luo didn't know that while they were arguing, there were people inside the courtyard wall listening to them. After they glanced away, it seemed that they had nothing to say, and it seemed that they both wanted to scold the other party so hard that they were humiliated. In the end, no one won and both ended up suffering losses.

In the end, they all left in two directions in frustration.

Meng Shisan didn't know whether Zeng Chongqi and Lu Luo could fall asleep after they returned home. Anyway, she went back to the courtyard and her room, lay down, touched the pillow, closed her eyes, and had a good night's sleep.

The next day, Zeng Chongqi went to work at the government office with dark circles under his eyes. He was caught by Ding Lan'an: "You... where have you been in the middle of the night?"

Zeng Chongqi walked past Ding Lan'an without even looking at him.

Ding Lan'an didn't give up. He winked at Xiang Lin. When Xiang Lin didn't respond, he quickly caught up with Zeng Chongqi who was about to walk through the moon cave gate: "Wait for me!"

Zeng Chongqi was still keeping a stern face because of the weakness that was stepped on by Lu Luo last night. When he heard Ding Lan'an's voice, he couldn't help but think that this guy was also secretly plotting against his cousin Meng, so instead of waiting, he took bigger steps.

Ding Lan'an saw this and said angrily, "What are you doing? I haven't offended you! But I just want to ask you one thing...Okay, okay, I shouldn't say that you are a thief, okay? Wait for me!"

As he spoke, he rushed to Zeng Chongqi, blocking his way and forcing Zeng Chongqi to stop and look at him.

"I have official business to attend to and am about to go out on errand." Zeng Chongqi's implication was that a good dog does not block the road.

However, Ding Lan'an realized that there was a reason for the unusual situation. He was not one to give up until he got to the bottom of the matter. He turned around and said, "Let's go. I'll accompany you. We can talk while we walk!"

Zeng Chongqi didn't want to say anything, but after the way was given, he walked away.

"Is there something fishy about the collapse of the lamp mountain?" Ding Lan'an strode forward. He didn't care when he didn't get a response. He continued, "I've said it before. That matter is very serious. It involves human lives. Second,..."

He lowered his voice and said, "The Second Prince was able to kill the living witness, which means that the living witness can indeed reveal some substantial and powerful evidence. The Second Prince is afraid of being purged, so he naturally cannot leave any survivors. Miss Meng has really overreached by intervening in this matter. I have told you long ago that you should still persuade Miss Meng not to interfere. Even if it involves the Eastern Palace, you should put yourself first and don't lose your life!"

Zeng Chongqi suddenly stopped. He rushed forward three steps, then reacted and stepped back, looking at Zeng Chongqi in confusion.

"What else do you know?" Zeng Chongqi had never discussed the Dengshan collapse incident in depth with Ding Lan'an, so he didn't know that Ding Lan'an knew so much inside information.

I wish you all a healthy Dragon Boat Festival and a happy Children's Day~
