451 Have plenty of patience
When they arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, Zhuo Jun bade Liang Mingmin farewell.
Liang Mingmin glared at him. “Zhuo Jun, aren’t you going to ask for my name and identity? ”
Zhuo Zheng was disgusted by her look.
He smiled shyly. “It’s not nice of me to ask for your name.”
This was the only way to prove that he didn’t know her identity and that he didn’t ask for anything in return for saving her.
As expected, Liang Mingmin felt that Zhuo Zheng was a good person. “Although my name and identity is important, you’re my savior. I don’t have to be so careful with you.”
“My name is Liang Mingmin, and I’m also from Northern City,” she took the initiative to say.
Zhuo Zheng first nodded. “Miss Liang!”
Then, as if he had thought of something, he looked at her in shock. “You can’t be Princess Zhen from Prince Jin’s manor, right? ”
Liang Mingmin was too famous in Northern City.
There were probably not many people who didn’t know her name.
That was why he had put on this show.
It was because Zhuo Zheng’s acting had no flaws and looked very sincere, so Liang Mingmin didn’t notice.
She smiled and nodded with a bit of pride. “That’s right, I’m Princess Zhen.”
“How do you know me?” she asked.
Zhuo Zheng cupped his fists at her, “Greetings, princess. You are well-known in Northern City, and I have heard of it.”
“How do I get famous?” Liang Mingmin asked curiously.
She had no doubts about this. After all, she was Prince Jin’s legitimate daughter.
Wasn’t it only right for her to be famous?
Of course, Zhuo Zheng wouldn’t say that Princess Zhen was tyrannical and vicious.
It was common for her to bully others, and her reputation in the Northern City wasn’t good.
“It’s said that you have a noble status, are beautiful, and have a clear distinction between good and evil. You will eliminate evil and help the weak,” he said, going against his conscience.
He felt like puking as he said it, especially the last two, which were actually the complete opposite.
“That’s why I never thought that I’d be able to get to know you, princess.”
Although he was complimenting Liang Mingmin, he gave off a neither humble nor arrogant feeling.
Liang Mingmin was taken aback. She reached out and touched her face. “I didn’t know that I’m such a good person in everyone’s opinion in Northern City!”
She didn’t think that Zhuo Zheng was making this up to coax her. Instead, she felt that it was real.
Seeing her narcissistic look, Zhuo Zheng felt even more disgusted.
This woman was not only vicious, but she also had no self-awareness.
“That’s right, you are very good, princess,” he continued to suppress his disgust.
Liang Mingmin glared at him again. “You really know how to talk. How annoying!”
Zhuo Zheng wanted to vomit.
Unable to come up with any more words of praise, he could only force out a smile. “This is the truth. You have already arrived at your place of residence, princess. I shall take my leave!”
If he stayed any longer, he was afraid that he wouldn’t even want to eat dinner.
Liang Mingmin was a little reluctant. “I haven’t even repay you yet. Why don’t you go in and have a cup of tea? ”
Zhuo Zheng, I really had to thank you.
This woman was really shameless.
This was the first time she met him, a man, and she actually invited him into the house for tea.
She was not a woman at all.
“I’m really sorry, Princess, ” he said apologetically. “I still have something to do. I’ll come back and ask for a cup of tea from you in the future if I have the chance.”
“What’s the matter?” Liang Mingmin asked.
What could be more important than accompanying her, a princess, for tea?
Zhuo Zheng forced a smile and said, “Mdm Shi just told me to go to the county office to deliver something to Mr Xiao. I’ve already wasted a lot of time. If I’m late, I won’t be able to answer her.”
Looking at Zhuo Zheng’s helpless and bitter smile, Liang Mingmin couldn’t help but feel her heart ache.
At the same time, he was happy that there was finally someone in the county who was not standing on the same side as that b * tch, Shi Qingluo.
As expected of the man she had taken a fancy to.
“This county magistrate’s wife is too overbearing,” she said after some thought.
“Since that’s the case, I won’t keep you. I’ll personally visit you to thank you another day.”
She already knew which inn Zhuo Zheng was staying at and was prepared to look for him tomorrow.
If she continued to pester him today, it would be a little abrupt and she was afraid that she would scare him.
It was better to take it slowly and make him obediently and willingly follow her.
She had plenty of patience for this kind of game that conquered men.
Her original intention to target Xiao Hanzheng was also replaced by her interest in Zhuo Zheng.
She was prepared to win Zhuo Zheng’s heart first.
After all, not only did he look like what she liked, but he had also appeared when she was at her most helpless and heartbroken movement to save her.
He was like a light that lit up her heart.
If he knew that she also had feelings for Xiao Hanzheng, she was afraid that he would be unhappy.
Therefore, she would get Zhuo Zheng first and then get Xiao Hanzheng into her backyard in Northern City.
The reason why she didn’t want to give up on Xiao Hanzheng was that his appearance and temperament were all to her liking.
He was also the best-looking man she had ever seen.
Xiao Hanzheng’s protection of Shi Qingluo also made her jealous.
She wanted to get him so that she would be the one protecting him in the future.
Zhuo Zheng did not know that Liang Mingmin had the intention to step on both boats and continued to act. “Princess, you don’t have to take what happened before to heart. I don’t want anything in return.
“Quickly go back to the courtyard and take a rest. I’ll take my leave first!” He said.
Liang Mingmin realized that Zhuo Zheng was much more caring and sweet-talking than her other male companions. She liked him more. “Okay, see you next time!”
Zhuo Zheng nodded his head without hesitation. “See you next time!”
Then, he turned around and left.
This made Liang Mingmin think even more highly of her.
It was rare for him to maintain his attitude just now even after knowing her identity.
It also showed that he didn’t save her because of her identity.
Just now, when Liang Mingmin arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, she had ordered the guards to bring the ugly man and the others in.
Now, she watched Zhuo Zheng leave.
When his back view disappeared, she turned around and entered the courtyard.
The smile on his face instantly disappeared. “Give these people the harshest torture and find out their identities.”
She narrowed her eyes again. “Then, make all of them into eunuchs!”
“Yes!” The guard didn’t know what had happened, but he knew that the people who had been brought in were in trouble.
Soon, a man’s scream could be heard from the courtyard.
The guards interrogated the ugly man and the others in a torturous way to got hold of identities.
When Liang Mingmin heard that these people were a gang of bandits, and meeting her today was coincidental, and she felt even more disgusted.
At this moment, the secret guards who had been following behind to protect Liang Mingmin also returned.
As soon as they entered, he knelt down and begged for her forgiveness.
They had originally been following the princess, but who knew that a funeral procession would suddenly block their way.
After a short delay, they realized that the princess was missing and they panicked.
In the end, they found out that the princess had been sent back to her courtyard, so they rushed back.
Liang Mingmin didn’t have many people at her disposal right now, so even though she wanted to kill these people, she held back.
“I’ll give you a chance to atone for your crimes.
“I’ve already written a letter to my father, asking him to send a team to exterminate the bandits.
“All of you, go and keep an eye on the mountain stronghold and investigate it. When the time comes, you will go with the people sent by father to slaughter all the bandits,” she said with a fierce look in her eyes.
“And that ugly man’s family, don’t leave any of them alive.”
The secret guards heaved a sigh of relief and immediately nodded respectfully. “Yes!”
Then, without taking breaks along the journey, he headed towards the location of the cottage the guards had sieved out from the interrogation.
