My Lord, your wife is spreading rumors about you again.

Chapter 32 Causing Trouble
"benefit?"

Zhang Zhi's smile reached the bottom of his eyes. He pointed at Ming Shuyuan who was lying on the ground and said, "The good thing is that you don't have to worry about those bastards of the Ming family. You can kill this person if you want. After killing him, take the knife and walk out openly, and no one will dare to ask you a question. It is his honor to kill the Crown Prince's Consort of the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion."

Mingli raised an eyebrow: "That sounds good."

Zhang Zhi asked: "So, do you agree?"

"Yes, agreed."

In fact, Mingli had figured out one thing. Zhang Zhi was the prince, and Zhang Yang was a concubine's son. Marrying Zhang Yang would only make Zhu and Ming Yun so angry that they wanted to bang their heads against the wall, but marrying Zhang Zhi would make the entire Ming family so angry that they wanted to die.

Mingli thought about it and suddenly smiled. That’s great.

"But," Ming Li suddenly changed the subject, which made Zhang Zhi's heart rise again, "I will not be by your side forever. When we get married, let's write a divorce letter to avoid entanglement in the future. I have no foundation in Kyoto, and it is indeed difficult to bring down the entire Ming family. It will be much easier with the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion as a trump card. As I said, I don't take the prince's things for nothing. The prince has helped me in the past two days. I have seen it with my eyes and kept it in my heart. I have not forgotten the affairs of the Mo family. After we get married and go to your house, I will take on the responsibilities of the prince's consort and resolve the fights in the family. If there is anything I have done wrong, I hope the prince will speak frankly. You and I will be the best allies."

Although she had not experienced much of the world, she had seen countless people's lives in the novels. She was also familiar with the court affairs and the harem struggles described by her master, and her sister's death was a heavy blow to her.

Men are the least reliable things in this world.

He is interested in you now, so he can say all kinds of sweet words to you, but when the novelty slowly fades away, he will be willing to harm you or even kill you.

Mingli didn't want to entrust his short life to Zhang Zhi, a man he had just met for a few days and who exuded danger from head to toe.

The best coexistence relationship between people is that you want my money and I want your power, and we give less sincerity and seek more benefits.

Both persons are beneficiaries and neither suffers any loss, so neither will feel dissatisfied. Without dissatisfaction, there will be no friction. Without friction, there will be a balance.

However, these clear-cut words made Zhang Zhi feel uncomfortable. He didn't know whether Mingli didn't like him or he just didn't know what it felt like to like someone.

But it doesn't matter.

She was alone in the Ming family, and it was not so difficult to deal with Ming Boyuan and Meng Shi now that they were not at home. When they came back, they would definitely find out that something was wrong with Ming Li. That would be troublesome.

No matter what, even though the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion was not a comfortable home, at least she had herself and her father as two big mountains to protect her from wind and rain, and her life would be safe.

He would be satisfied as long as he could see her lively and energetic by his side day and night, and she would occasionally say a few words to make fun of him.

Zhang Zhi nodded slightly: "Okay, whatever you say. Since the marriage is settled, I will go back and choose an auspicious day to propose marriage, okay?"

"Are you in such a hurry?"

Mingli looked at him, his mind drifting to the indescribable place again: "I once read a storybook, which said there was a young man in it, with good looks and a well-off family, but he had never married. Later, he met a young lady from a poor family, and he was crazy about marrying her. In the end, what did you do? He had a hidden illness, and he was attracted to the young lady because her family was in trouble. Even if she knew about it after marriage, she didn't have the energy to divorce him."

Zhang Zhi: “.”

This girl is not stupid, she is secretly pointing out that she is impotent. It seems that she has read some things from the storybook. Zhang Zhi lowered his eyes and smiled lightly, without explaining anything, and asked her: "Then tell me, when should I propose marriage?"

"When the time comes to propose marriage, I will give you news."

"Oh, I have one more thing to ask you." Mingli said as he walked to the wine table, took out an unused wine cup and filled it up. "I heard from Liuliu and asked a few people downstairs just now. Is Zhu's nephew with you?"

Zhang Zhi also stood up and sat opposite her. He took the glass of wine that Mingli had poured and drank it: "Yes, it's here with me."

"Then you just hold him down, I will start to attack the third branch and the Mo family." Mingli ignored Zhang Zhi's robbery and poured himself another glass of wine.

Zhang Zhi looked at her with a smile: "How do you move? Can you tell me?"

Mingli thought for a moment and said, "I won't tell you about the Third House. But I can tell you about the Mo family. After all, this was one of the agreements between me and the Crown Prince. You helped me conceal the truth about the Zhou family's extermination case and helped me resolve the interrogation at the Kyoto government office. Mo Zhao and Mo Zhengfeng, father and son, are my thank you gift."

"From what you said, it seems that you have found something to hold against the Mo family?" Zhang Zhi asked.

"Handle? Not really. Do you still remember the mother and daughter of the Zang family at the flower viewing banquet today? Although Madam Zang's surname is not Mo, she is a distant cousin of Mo Zhao." Mingli smiled and waved his hand: "Oh, I'm really tired of seeing this kind of cousin falling in love with cousin, but it really happened again. Madam Zang doesn't like her husband and is in love with her childhood sweetheart Mo Zhao. Of course, Zang Ying is naturally Mo Zhao's daughter. Zhu knows about this. Tell me, when Lord Zang finds out that the daughter he has raised for more than ten years was born after Madam and a colleague had an affair, will he be so angry that he vomits blood?"

Zhang Zhi pondered and said, "But this will only cause chaos in the inner house. What I want is for the Mo family to be destroyed and for the position of Salt Inspector to be out of the control of Ming Boyuan and the Second Prince."

Zhang Zhi actually had a plan for the Mo family, but she suddenly decided to let Mingli deal with the Mo family. He had always wondered why Mingli was so familiar with the affairs of the court, until today when he heard from his father about the past of the Ming sisters, he finally had the answer in his heart.

Perhaps everything Mingli knew came from the Rebel King Shen Yu.

The rebel king has evil intentions. If Mingli's identity is exposed one day, he will become the target of public criticism.

Before that, he wanted to push Mingli into the court politics and let her come in front of those important figures.

Only people of value are qualified to live well in Kyoto.

Mingli smiled and drank half a sip of wine. His face was flushed. "Don't worry. I have an idea."

"When are you going to do it?"

"Ten days later, in the archery arena, not only will I make her lose miserably, but I will also make the Mo family, the Zang family, and the third branch become enemies and never have any contact with each other again. Ming Shuyuan has been deposed, and the third branch has lost the support of these two families, but I will still help Ming Yun marry Zhang Yang. Although Zhu is useless outside, at least she has been in charge of all matters of the Ming family during this period. If we want to involve the second branch and the old lady, we still need her help."

There was a whistle sound outside the window, Zhang Zhi put down his wine cup and stood up.

Mingli looked at him: "Are you leaving?"

"Well, I still have some troubles. Be polite," Zhang Zhi's eyes were filled with tenderness, like a spring breeze blowing over a willow, making people feel at ease: "Go ahead and do it, and get into trouble. If anything goes wrong, I'll take care of it. There's nothing in Kyoto that I can't handle, remember?"
