But soon, she noticed Duan Zhengchun's condition and sighed inwardly.

Lin Zhu sneered inwardly when he saw Duan Zhengchun's current appearance.

However, a mischievous idea suddenly popped into her head, and she cupped her hands in greeting, saying, "Is that Prince Duan Zhengchun ahead? And Madam Ruan Xingzhu?"

Upon hearing Lin Zhu's voice, Duan Zhengchun snapped out of his daze, clasped his hands in return, and said, "It is indeed I, Duan. May I ask your esteemed name, young master? How do you know me?"

Of course, he wouldn't call Lin Zhu "Miss" directly; with her attire, he'd just have to coax her.

Lin Zhu said, "I've heard Brother Duan Yu mention the Prince before."

Duan Zhengchun was taken aback; his son was acquainted with this man.

That makes it difficult to make a move!

Ruan Xingzhu's eyes lit up, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"I see." Although Duan Zhengchun was unwilling, he still gave up that idea.

Lin Zhu said, "I have an elder in the center of Taihu Lake who is an old friend of yours, Prince Duan. Would you be willing to go and meet him?"

"Oh!" Duan Zhengchun thought for a moment, then asked, "Who is it?" He didn't recognize the name "center of Taihu Lake."

Duan Yu didn't tell him about Mantuo Manor, firstly because he found it difficult to talk about, and secondly because he felt that Duan Zhengchun knew about it.

But Duan Zhengchun really didn't know!

Duan Yu has really messed up his father this time, even though it's a fake father.

Lin Zhu was secretly pleased. It seemed that Duan Zhengchun really didn't know, so he said, "Could I keep you in suspense for a moment?"

Duan Zhengchun was secretly pleased and didn't think much of it.

In Da Zhou, he not only had many female confidantes but also made quite a few friends. He quite liked this kind of exciting surprise.

"Please lead the way, young master," Duan Zhengchun said with a smile.

Lin Zhu nodded, and the ice boat automatically turned around and headed towards Mantuo Manor.

Duan Zhengchun, unaware of anything amiss, ordered his men to row a boat and follow.

Ruan Xingzhu said, "Duan Lang, look at that boat, it moves without oars. This young master's skill is truly profound!"

Duan Zhengchun noticed this early on and said, "He is familiar with Yu'er and is polite to people, so there's nothing wrong with him."

After traveling for about half an hour, the two boats arrived at Mantuo Villa.

When Rong Momo saw Lin Zhu's ice boat, she asked with a smile, "Young Master Lin, if Miss sees your ice boat, she might not want to cultivate anymore."

"Then I'll have to ask you to keep this a secret, Granny Rong," Lin Zhu said with a smile.

Looking at Mantuo Villa, Duan Zhengchun couldn't help but sigh, "I never imagined that there would be such a paradise in the middle of this vast Taihu Lake."

"It's really good." Ruan Xingzhu nodded.

The ship is about to dock.

Rong Momo looked at the two of them, and her expression changed.

She recognized Duan Zhengchun, a sinister smile appearing on her face. She turned to Lin Zhu and asked, "Did you bring these two, Young Master Lin?"

Lin Zhu nodded and said, "Granny, please go and inform your aunt. No matter what, it will help to resolve her inner conflict."

Rong Momo's eyes lit up, and her cold demeanor dissipated. "I understand. I'll go in right away."

The boat had docked, and Duan Zhengchun and Ruan Xingzhu disembarked.

"Young Master Lin, may I ask where this place is?" Duan Zhengchun asked Lin Zhu.

Lin Zhu said, "This is Mantuo Manor. Prince Duan will have to wait a while. The host will be out soon."

Duan Zhengchun paused for a moment. So Lin Zhu wasn't the owner of the manor, but why had he invited him here?

He didn't have to wait long before a familiar figure slowly walked towards them.

Duan Zhengchun recognized him at a glance.

If it weren't for Dao Baifeng back then, he might have married Li Qingluo directly.

Li Qingluo is so beautiful.

Lin Zhu had already met Qin Hongmian, Gan Baobao, and Ruan Xingzhu, and none of the three were as pretty as Li Qingluo.

Li Qingluo also met Duan Zhengchun, as well as Ruan Xingzhu who was next to Duan Zhengchun.

But at this moment, he remained completely calm, inwardly only sneering.

Duan Zhengchun quickly regained his senses, and with Ruan Xingzhu beside him, he felt things were going to get bad.

Looking at Lin Zhu again, he realized that he had ruined him terribly.

But can we leave now?

As a playboy, he was full of ideas, and countless sweet words flowed through his mind. He already had a plan, and he was just waiting for Li Qingluo to get closer.

Li Qingluo was right in front of him, and he called out affectionately, "A-Luo!"

This sound gave Lin Zhu goosebumps; it sounded so greasy.

Li Qingluo also felt terrible. There was no hatred in her eyes, only disgust. She asked, "Why did you come here?"

This completely stumped Duan Zhengchun.

He thought Li Qingluo shouldn't have lost her temper with him.

What's with that look of disdain and that tone of voice?

This is more damaging to him than killing him.

Lin Zhu was also at a loss, and Li Qingluo's reaction was also beyond his expectations.

He had a feeling something was going to go wrong.

Duan Zhengchun was at a loss for words.

Li Qinglu waved her hand impatiently, "Hurry up and leave, you're an eyesore."

Duan Zhengchun froze, feeling as if he were about to shatter. "A'Luo, you!"

Ruan Xingzhu also saw the look of disdain in Li Qingluo's eyes; it was disdain for Duan Zhengchun from the inside out.

This disdain hurt not only Duan Zhengchun, but also her.

'Then what am I?' she thought to herself.

Looking at Duan Zhengchun again, he didn't seem so pleasing to the eye anymore.

"Although Dali is just a small country, you are still a prince of a country. You are shamelessly sticking here like this. I feel ashamed, not you. Go back to where you came from!"

Li Qingluo once again issued an order to leave.

Chapter 233 Comfort

Now, even if Duan Zhengchun had the thickest skin, he was too ashamed to appear in front of Li Qingluo.

He was already heartbroken when Qin Hongmian and Gan Baobao left him at Shaolin Temple.

This time at Mantuo Manor, Li Qingluo's invisible slap caused him even more heartache.

"A-Luo, I know you can't forgive me. I'm sorry. I'll leave now."

Duan Zhengchun said this, then glanced at Li Qingluo out of the corner of his eye.

Li Qingluo waved her hand dismissively, not even glancing at him, as if looking at him would offend her eyes.

Duan Zhengchun felt deeply hurt. This time, he was so angry that his blood rushed to his head and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Duan Lang, what's wrong, Duan Lang?" Ruan Xingzhu rushed forward.

Duan Zhengchun thought to himself, 'This is the normal reaction.'

Li Qingluo looked at Rong Mama and said, "Rong Mama, clean up the dirt stained with blood later, so as not to dirty the manor's grounds."

With a beaming smile, Rong Momo said, "It is Madam."

Li Qingluo nodded, then came to Lin Zhu, furious, and grabbed his ear, saying, "Of all the people you brought, you brought this thing. Come back with me."

"Wait a minute!" Lin Zhu sensed something was wrong.

"Wait for what?" Li Qingluo said, "I'll settle the score with you when we get back!" She turned and waved to Ruan Xingzhu, "Hurry up and take him away, he's annoying."

Duan Zhengchun's heart clenched again, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and fainted.

Lin Zhu realized that Duan Zhengchun wasn't faking it; his mental fortitude was incredibly weak.

Only then did he realize how high Li Qingluo's skill level was!

Looking at her again, I saw nothing but admiration.

Li Qingluo looked smug, and seeing Duan Zhengchun's expression made her feel very happy.

Duan Zhengchun was revived by Ruan Xingzhu. He dragged his weak body onto the boat and left.

He looked at Mantuo Villa from afar, feeling a surge of resentment.

Although Qin Hongmian's tone was harsh when they were in Dali, it was clear that she still harbored feelings for him.

The same goes for Gan Baobao.

Even at Shaolin Temple, the two of them made a huge decision before deciding to go to the West Factory.

But when he got to Li Qingluo, he could sense a kind of disgust that came from the inside out.

This was somewhat difficult for him to accept.

But no matter how hard it is to accept, I still have to leave.

However, from now on, Li Qingluo will occupy the most special place in his heart.

"Ah Xing, you won't leave me, right?" Duan Zhengchun looked at Ruan Xingzhu with deep affection.

Ruan Xingzhu recalled Li Qingluo's disgusted expression and felt a little embarrassed, but she still nodded and said somewhat reluctantly, "Yes, I won't leave you."

Azhu is currently in Dali, and even if she wanted to leave, she couldn't.

Duan Zhengchun was distracted at this moment and failed to notice the reluctance in Ruan Xingzhu's tone; he only felt deeply moved.
