Chapter 478: The Heartless Regent King vs. the Scheming Princess 23
The little emperor stood up and picked up a pile of rice paper from the desk. "Uncle, could you please take a look at my nephew's homework before you leave? You haven't seen him for many days..."
Xie Zhao had already stood up, his expression weary yet resolute. He said slowly, "Your Majesty handled the situation today appropriately, demonstrating the demeanor of a monarch. In the future, even when I'm not around, you should make the same decision."
I don't know what this bad habit is, but as long as he is by my side I can make good decisions.
The little emperor looked a little aggrieved. How could he act without his uncle's guidance?
When Xie Zhao saw his expression, he inexplicably thought of Lu Zhihuan.
The shadows of the two people inexplicably overlapped, and they were the only two people in the world who could give him a headache.
I could clearly handle everything myself, but why did I insist on having him by my side? Could he be some kind of reassurance?
In order to guard against the inexplicable spirit possession, he now looks ten steps ahead before taking one step.
Every day feels like I’m making arrangements for my funeral.
Helplessly, Xie Zhao could only look at his homework of the past few days, and then, as expected, the little emperor was scolded.
The little emperor smiled, and his uncle did not ignore him.
Seeing his shameless look, Xie Zhao was reminded of someone and scolded him even more vigorously.
Finally, the little emperor wiped the sweat from his forehead and felt puzzled, as if someone else was being scolded.
Yu Zhizhi and Lin Zhizhong's wedding date is set for the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, which is half a month away. The mansion is already busy.
Today, Lin Zhizhong brought his mother to Yu's house.
Originally, Mrs. Yu did not agree to this marriage, but Yu's father was determined, and Yu Zhizhi herself was willing.
In addition, Yu Zhizhi's appearance is indeed not satisfactory. If not completely different from their family, it's almost the same.
But ever since Lu Zhihuan came back, the old lady has been very active and wants to find a good marriage for Lu Zhihuan before then.
Isn't this it? Yu's mother took out several more portraits of men and showed them to Lu Zhihuan.
There must be at least six or seven portraits on the desk, all of whom are sons of officials of the third rank or above.
The younger brother of the first-rank general of cavalry, twenty years old.
996【Is it okay to be Xie Zhao's opponent right from the start?】
The eldest son of the first-rank Taifu family, twenty-three years old.
996【Already have two favorite concubines.】
The eighteen-year-old grandson of a first-rank university scholar.
996 [Extraordinarily intelligent, eloquent, and a gentleman who stays away from the kitchen all day.]
He is of the second rank and is the second son of the Minister of Rites. He is twenty-one years old.
996【Looks okay,... looks okay.】
Second rank, Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, twenty-four years old.
996 [Talented, career-oriented, and neglectful of family.]
Lu Zhihuan curled his lips, [You're talking as if you're talking about Xie Zhao and the Gu family.]
He was a third-rank official, the eldest grandson of the Shuntian Prefecture governor, and was nineteen years old.
996【He is unlearned and incompetent, indulging in eating, drinking and having fun all day long.】
He was a third-rank official, the eldest son of the Dali Temple Minister, and was twenty-seven years old.
996 [Host, this... is a widower, with two children.]
Lu Zhihuan wiped his forehead as he listened to 996's words.
[Are you afraid I'll be a jerk to you? I don't want an old man with two kids, I want a virgin, name it (Xie Zhao)]
She simply flipped through it and closed it impatiently.
Didn't they say Lin Zhizhong brought his mother to the Yu family today? Let her do whatever she wants first.
Seeing that she just glanced at it and closed the book, Yu's mother couldn't help but ask, "Isn't there anyone among these young men that Zhihuan likes?"
Lu Zhihuan thought for a moment and said, "Why not ask Grandma? I can only make out a little bit of her appearance from this portrait. I might as well get my father and Grandma's opinions then."
Yu's mother nodded with satisfaction, "Okay."
Compared to Zhizhi, Zhihuan is much more sensible.
She couldn't sit for long anymore. Lord Lin would come with his mother later, and she had to make some arrangements.
After Yu's mother left, Lu Zhihuan asked Xuancao to deliver the picture album to Old Madam Yu and repeat what she had just said.
I sat on the couch, thinking about what would happen next.
She hadn't bothered Xie Zhao for several days.
Blind date? Tsk! Do you want the Regent to check it out?
She raised her hand and touched her cheek. With her appearance and status, she had a double buff. She wondered if Lin Zhizhong would regret it to death.
"Yu Zhizhi, tsk!"
After finding out that she had taken over her biological mother's wife's position, she not only did not reflect on the wrong things her biological mother had done, but was full of malice and targeted her everywhere.
After learning the truth, the Yu family, who thought they were loyal and righteous, said frankly that they treated their two daughters equally.
He didn't consider her feelings at all.
Do you want to erase all the suffering and sins that the Lord endured in his early years with just one sentence "it's all in the past"?
She didn't even consider that the fake daughter was the daughter of her enemy, and she even tried to make them love each other.
"What a dream."
An hour later.
After Xuancao finished dressing her, she got up and went to the front hall.
Lu Zhihuan couldn't help but chuckle. Today will be a lively day!
Yu's front hall...
Old Madam Yu, Yu's father, Yu's mother, Yu's eldest brother, Yu Zhizhi, except for the younger brother of the Yu family who was in college, were all there.
Lin Zhizhong and his mother had just sat down for a while when Lin Zhizhong looked around and didn't see Yu's biological daughter, so he withdrew his gaze.
Yesterday, Yu's father couldn't help but tell Lin Zhizhong about this matter, so Lin Zhizhong brought his mother here today to express his feelings.
Lin's mother has been here for two days, and Lin Zhizhong has put a lot of effort into teaching her to speak.
To show her simplicity, Lin's mother also brought the wedding bedding she had sewn by herself, as well as seeds that symbolize good luck.
Mother Lin put down the teacup in her hand, touched the things she brought, and said with a smile, "I don't have anything to show off. This is the quilt I made myself. It's not expensive, only five taels of silver. I just hope you don't mind..."
At this moment, Lu Zhihuan walked in, and Lin's mother stopped talking abruptly, with a look as if she had seen a ghost.
"Ah..." She screamed, and Lin Zhizhong quickly held her down, "Mom!"
He looked at Lin's mother's horrified expression in confusion and turned back following her gaze...
He looked at Lu Zhihuan, who was also "stunned".
The Yu family was puzzled as to what had happened?
Watching the two of them looking at each other, Yu Zhizhi thought that Lu Zhihuan was deliberately seducing Lin Zhizhong in order to snatch this marriage.
She was furious, "What are you looking at?" She rushed to Lu Zhihuan in two or three steps and raised her hand to slap her.
Lu Zhihuan raised his hand, grabbed her wrist and turned her in another direction, causing her to stagger, and slapped Lin Zhizhong hard in the face.
There was a "pop" sound.
Everyone was stunned by this sudden slap.
Madam Yu paused on the ground with her cane. "How... disgraceful is this?"
Yu's father's face immediately darkened and he scolded, "Zhihuan, what are you doing?"
Yu's mother covered her mouth with her hand, her eyes full of panic and worry.
The eldest brother of the Yu family was also confused.
Lu Zhihuan shook off Yu Zhizhi's hand. She took several steps back before regaining her balance and immediately screamed, "Are you crazy? Why did you hit Brother Zhong?"
This slap brought the stunned man back to his senses. Lin Zhizhong turned around in disbelief, "You are... Xiao Huan?"
