The Hickey of the Demon Lord: The Substitute Princess

Chapter 27

The three cats were meowing softly, and they walked slowly, as if they had no strength, and they didn't know that the female cat was dead.

Su Min felt a pain in her heart, and it was not hard to imagine how the blood from the mother cat's body would stain the three little things that had climbed up to the mother's body. She hugged them in her arms and remained silent for a long time.

The fate of these cats is also very similar to hers. When she was still naive, she lost her dearest mother, and she didn't even know what her mother looked like.

There were many times when my father said that she looked similar to my mother. In the past, I even used to look in the mirror and imagine a mature woman with the same face as myself...

But when the new Madam Su entered the mansion, she never did that again.

So childish.

When she was very quiet, she often involuntarily showed a peaceful appearance, with lowered eyebrows and eyes, not much smile, but no defense or resistance.

It seems to be a white lotus, blooming alone in the clear stream, indulging in its own world.

Nan Gongzheng couldn't see through, she thought of something about these cats, but the light escaped from the corner of the eyes, which looked very sad.

her sorrow?Where did it come from?

She was born in Su's family, and since she was a child, she was well-clothed and well-fed. She stretched out her hands for clothes and opened her mouth for food. She was also sought after by so many men, and she played with her feelings like a game.

Isn't she alive and well?

"Did the lord catch the prey?" She slowly raised her bright eyes and looked at him silently.

His black eyes dimmed, and he casually squeezed out two words. "Disappointment."

That arrow caused the death of the mother cat, and seeing the existence of this litter of kittens, how could he have the interest to continue hunting?

"So the wound on the hand was also caught by the mother cat?"

Su Min's unintentional words changed Nangong Zheng's complexion, and his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp.

It turned out that when he caught the kitten just now, she noticed the three long and thin bloodstains on the back of his hand.

"It must be the result of the prince's fierce resistance to take away the kittens before the mother cat died."

Su Min's face was as clear as snow, with a shallow and soft smile on her lips. When she told the truth, she also saw Nangong Zheng's eyes getting darker.

"This king will not be angry with these beasts."

He snorted coldly, his handsome brows were still full of disdain and pride, always like this, people couldn't ignore his identity and aura, and no one dared to easily challenge his authority.

It is still a great kindness for him to bring back these kittens. Su Min smiled lightly, stood up, and concentratedly melted a strip of milk soup from the cupboard into a bowl of water, watching the kittens hungry. Terrific, scrambling to drink those custard soups.

"You know how to enjoy yourself."

Three stupid beasts can also make her concentrate.Nangong Zheng said calmly with a cold face.

As if she didn't hear it, he couldn't help squinting his black eyes, looking at the faint smile on the corner of her mouth, that lovely dimple was rarely filled with satisfaction.

"Anyway, the prince gave them to me, and I will take care of them properly."

Su Min slightly raised her eyebrows, her eyes sank.It is uncertain when she will be able to leave the palace, she has some sustenance in her heart, and something to accompany her is better than being alone.

"The king is gone." He didn't want to see the smile on her face again, so he turned around and wanted to leave.

"My lord, please wait a moment."

Su Min took out the big coat he left behind last time from the side, and brought it to his hand. Seeing that he didn't take it for a long time, she raised her small face to look at him.

His eyes were not hot, but there were some inexplicable undercurrents surging in them, so dark and complicated, it seemed to be enough to enclose her heart tightly.

After a while, he took over the heavy coat. Su Min looked at him, feeling a little struggling.

"Is there anything else you want to say?" He glanced sideways, his tone icy.

"If the prince has time, go to the plum garden to see him more."

Her heart turned a thousand times, and the light in her eyes was soft, as if it was enough to warm a person's heart.After saying these words, she bowed seriously to Nangong Zheng before walking to the table.

She thought it was a bit difficult to say these words, but she didn't expect it to be that simple.

She never thought that she would ask her husband to see another opponent.

Because she didn't think she was a selfless woman, but tonight she was sincere.

She smiled reassuringly, she really had died a long time ago, and her heart had also hardened.

Nangong Zheng is just a man who occupies the name of her husband. He is a poison and a Gu. She will never touch him.

Qin Ge'er made a mistake.

Now she is reprimanded by the prince and banned for three months, just because she insulted Tong arbitrarily.

Su Min smiled faintly, perhaps she was absolutely right in choosing to help Tong.

Whether it was herself or Qin Ge'er, although they were women of different identities, they were not the one Nangong Zheng cared about most.

He is a very possessive man, and no one can destroy what he wants with all his heart.

If there were really such presumptuous people, he would not forgive them.

Qin Ge'er was confined for three months, during which she could not be favored, which was the most profound torture and punishment for her.

It's almost the winter solstice, the sky is overcast and gloomy today, and I feel extremely cold when I wake up in the morning.She suddenly began to miss the weather in Los Angeles, where the winter is not so cold.

Just as the stove was turned on in the room, there was a knock on the door outside.

Opening the door, it turned out to be Zhou Yan. He was wearing a dark green robe and a thick gray coat, and there was still a smile on his gentle face.

"Your Majesty, what do you need from me?" Her eyes flashed with astonishment, and she asked calmly with a calm expression.

"Stopped by Su's branch last night, shopkeeper Jin asked me to send you a letter." He pulled out an envelope from his chest, and Su Min took it. The real temperature of the man's chest was still on the paper. So hot.

She suddenly thought of something, and greeted him with a smile: "Come in, it's cold outside."

"No need, I have something to do in the court today, and I have to rush to the palace." Zhou Yan shook his head, the smile on his upright face was still unabated, making people not feel cold in such a gloomy winter day.

Su Min looked at him with a smile on her face and didn't say anything else, but she understood better that the real reason why he didn't enter the house was to not let her be misunderstood.

"There seems to be something wrong with the Su family. Shopkeeper Jin said that a few days ago, the Su family was really in trouble." He leaned against the door and asked lightly, a wisp of white air was flying in the air from his lips that were neither thick nor thin.

He turned his face to look at Su Min. The first time she asked him to inquire about the news, it must have something to do with the Su family. Her concerns and anxiety were clearly in his eyes, but she didn't turn to him for help. "You already knew, why didn't you tell me, maybe I can help you."

"You've helped me enough, how dare I say this?" Su Min smiled, she didn't like to cause trouble to anyone, and there was a bit of bitterness in her voice.

"How difficult is it?" Zhou Yan asked in a low voice, his eyes dimmed.

"That's not a few dozen taels of gold, the amount is too huge." The letter paper in hand was very light, but it weighed so heavily on her palm. If the news that the treasurer Jin sent her was bad news, she could only accept her fate.

As long as father is healthy, no matter how much money he loses overnight, it will be nothing but possessions outside his body.

She doesn't feel that money can be compared with people.

She lowered her eyes and smiled, opened the envelope neatly, and opened the letter paper. There were only three or four lines of words on it, but her expression eased a little.

"It doesn't seem to be bad news." Zhou Yan observed the subtle changes on her cheeks and chuckled.

Su Min raised his crystal face, put away the letter, and there was a soft gleam in his eyes. "The king of the county brought me good news, thank you very much."

Seeing that she was finally relieved, Zhou Yan felt much more relaxed.

She looked moved and whispered. "Treasurer Jin said in the letter that in the past few days, those merchants have almost robbed Su's house, causing people to panic. Thirteen shops are also on the verge of collapse, but the situation turned around yesterday."

"Really?" He pulled his lips into a smile, his eyes clear.

"Treasurer Jin is in the capital, so he can't say very clearly about this matter. But he has written letters with my father, and he knows that it seems that some important person came to help. I don't know who it is." Su Min hung his heart for a long time, Finally landed safely.The folds between her brows gradually unfolded, making her look more gentle.

Zhou Yan seemed to have regrets and was a little surprised. "Is there really such a generous person in the world? If it has nothing to do with the Su family, why would the other party do such a big favor?"

"Your Majesty, I used to think so. Maybe I can only say that my vision and heart are too narrow, and I can't see that there are still many good people in this world." Su Min smiled and nodded, looking straight at Into those eyes: "For example, like you, I can't repay you with anything, but you still help me all the time."

Zhou Yan stared at her beautiful smile for a long time, and for a moment, extremely complicated emotions appeared in his eyes.

"I'm really curious, who is that so-called big man." She said this casually, but found that Zhou Yan's eyes suddenly became a little strange.

Without pursuing it, she looked at the desolate scene in front of her, her eyes deepened.

"This toss, even if the Su family doesn't fall down, it is bound to suffer serious damage. Now it is like a dead tree. It will take some time for new shoots to grow."

"I don't feel sorry, the world is impermanent?" Zhou Yan sighed softly, and looked in her direction together. The desolation in the courtyard is chilling, but next spring, it may be a different scene.

The woman in front of her is open-minded and cheerful, and she is a daughter with a strong personality.Perhaps it was the ups and downs of the merchant that formed her character of not admitting defeat.

"It's good to have such a result." The smile on Su Min's face gradually lost, and her beautiful eyes were full of coldness. "Although I don't know, I always feel that the disasters that the Su family has encountered in the past three months are not accidental."

"Could it be inevitable?" Zhou Yan's smile faded away, but his expression became serious. He still remembered what Nan Gongzheng said on the hunting ground.
