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

Chapter 50: Abandoning darkness and heading for light
Without waiting for Mingli to speak, Zhang Zhi bowed his head slightly and said, "Thank you, grandma."

The two walked side by side on the street, Zhang Zhi took the basket and held it in his hand. He chatted with Ming Li intermittently: "Have you never played with a bamboo dragonfly?"

"I heard about it from my sister in a letter." Mingli was not in a good mood.

Zhang Zhi nodded: "Then take it back and have fun. Although I gave you the bamboo dragonfly at the wrong time, at least you have more in quantity."

Hearing this, Mingli laughed. Is there such an algorithm?
"Since you can find me here, I guess you followed the carriage to Ming Mansion?" Ming Li said, "I went to Jucai Building and met Xi Mo. Tongtong should have told you about what happened last night, right? Do you want to listen to what Xi Mo and I said just now?"

Zhang Zhi paused and Mingli took two steps forward before he realized it. She turned around and waited for his next words.

"Ming Li."

Zhang Zhi called her name softly, the boy frowned, his eyes full of worry: "If you are willing to tell me your plan, I will listen. If you don't want to tell me, I can't not listen or ask. Although we are allies, I don't want to be just an ally with you, just like I am a playboy, but I am not just a playboy. If you want to cooperate with Xi Mo, I won't object. I'm just afraid that you will change your mind, afraid that you will feel that my value is not as high as Xi Mo, and afraid that one day you will tell me that you don't need me anymore and you can do it yourself."

Wasn't this what she said to him just now at Feihong Racecourse? How could such a sentence hurt him so deeply?

Could this person have come after him just because of this sentence? Mingli looked at him, not knowing how to respond.

She pursed her lips, and finally uttered a muffled "hmm" and said, "I've never been to a market before. Let's go for a walk together."

"Ah? Okay!" Zhang Zhi was immediately appeased by this incoherent remark, and he came over happily, "I have more than 100,000 taels in my pocket today, you can buy whatever you want, I can even buy this entire street!"

The streets were bustling with activity, and there were many lanterns, lighting up the dark streets as bright as day.

The two walked for a long time before Mingli finally stopped struggling and chose to speak.

"If you ever want to divorce me, or find someone you like, just tell me directly. I won't pester you. I know that most men in the world have three wives and four concubines, so I won't force you to do anything. Our marriage is part of the covenant. During this period of time, if I want you to help me with something, you can write it down and ask me to repay you when the time comes."

Zhang Zhi's mouth drooped. She still didn't understand what he meant. No, was she some kind of loveless god who had come down to earth to experience disaster? Was it really so difficult to understand the love and joy of mortals?

He murmured, "But I don't want you to pay it back."

"That won't work." Mingli shook his head: "Since we have agreed to be allies, we must draw a clear line. Otherwise, it will be hard to explain when we go our separate ways."

"Oh."

Zhang Zhi responded, but in his heart he was thinking, OK, let's add them up one by one, and see what you can pay me back when the time comes! I worked so hard to help you, shouldn't I settle every single thing? I won't keep track of it, and when the time comes, there will be a pile of bad debts, and see if you can still draw a clear line!

Mingli didn't care about the various thoughts in Zhang Zhi's mind. She continued, "Xi Mo asked me if I was willing to abandon you and choose to cooperate with him."

Hearing this, Zhang Zhi raised his head suddenly, his eyes slightly red, he could feel his heart gradually breaking into pieces of glass: "So, you...you answer..."

Did she agree?

Seeing this, Mingli couldn't help but laugh: "No, I refused. I know what it feels like to be abandoned, so I won't abandon others easily."

Zhang Zhi's shoulders slumped. Fortunately, fortunately, she didn't agree. Wait, Zhang Zhi's eyes suddenly lit up. She rejected Xi Mo?

She rejected Xi Mo! She also said that she would not abandon herself easily! Zhang Zhi's mouth was already grinning to his ears, so could the subtext of this sentence be that she still cared about him in her heart and was still reluctant to let him go?

"Okay, I've explained all the misunderstandings, right? Let's get down to business." Mingli immediately straightened her expression. She took out a document and handed it to Zhang Zhi. "I wanted to give it to you at the horse farm today, but the prince came so suddenly that I forgot about it."

Zhang Zhi took it and said, "It's okay. I see it the same way now."

"I have already made a decision on how to deal with Mo Zhengfeng, and the Zang family has also made arrangements. The rumor that the Zang family girl is the heir of the Mo family will spread throughout Kyoto tomorrow morning. By then, we will need Young Master Zhang to send some people to help." Ming Li paused and continued walking forward: "If this can't lure Mo Zhao out, then I have lost the bet, and I still have to ask Xi Mo to come forward."

Hearing the name 'Xi Mo', Zhang Zhi was furious: "If Xi Mo comes forward, will Mo Zhao come out?"

"Of course." Ming Li smiled in the evening breeze and said confidently, "I will kill Mo Zhengfeng and Zang Ying as bait and destroy the entire Mo family bloodline. In this way, he will only have Xi Mo as his son. For the sake of family inheritance, can he still not show up?" Ming Li suddenly thought of something else, "Let me ask you, are you really on the side of the crown prince? If you really support him, I think we can use this incident to leverage his power and move the second prince."

Hearing this, Zhang Zhi looked up at her in surprise, extremely shocked at Mingli's political sensitivity. Just based on the Zang family and the Mo family, she could actually associate them with the second prince.

Zhang Zhi thought for a long time, and finally nodded: "Okay, let's give it a try."

"boom--"

The moon is bright in the sky, the lights are on, the auspicious time has arrived, and the fireworks are set off.

At this moment, fireworks all over the city were burning at the same time, illuminating the vast and boundless night like a bright day.

Zhang Zhi stared at Ming Li's profile, and felt that the blazing fire and rivers of stars in the sky could not compare to the brilliance of the person in his eyes. He couldn't help but say, "I am very happy today."

"Ok, I know."

Mingli opened her eyes wide to see the magnificent scene she had never seen before, wanting to engrave this splendor in her mind forever.

"Today I have explained the Mo family's affairs thoroughly. If nothing unexpected happens, the Mo family and the Zang family will be destroyed within three days. In three days, even if Ming Boyuan grows a pair of wings, he can't fly back to Kyoto." Ming Li raised his lips and said, "After the Mo family's affairs are over, I can deal with the rest of the Ming family with peace of mind. My sister's spirit in heaven must see it, and she must be very happy, so I am happy too."

Zhang Zhi's mouth twitched: "."

Seeing that he didn't respond, Mingli turned his head and asked, "What's wrong? Isn't this what you wanted to say?"

"No." Zhang Zhi gritted his teeth: "I, I, that's what I mean."

It’s okay, there’s a long way to go.

It’s the 50th chapter, thank you all for your company along the way! Suddenly I want to talk to you about the emotional line between the male and female protagonists~

He tells Mingli that the world is worth living when she wants to die. When Mingli's hatred reaches its peak and she is about to fall into the deep sea and become a man-eating monster, he tells her that the seabed is too dark and there are people waiting for her on the shore.
