What Zhou Leping found difficult was not that Zhou Lean liked Zhao Shiqian, but that the chances of the two of them meeting each other again after Zhou Lean entered the palace was much less.
Before entering the palace, she misunderstood Zhao Shiqian because she still couldn't let him go. She wanted to explain that it wasn't like that, but now, she didn't know when she would have the chance to explain it to him. She just hoped that this misunderstanding wouldn't get worse.
Now that things had settled down, it was too late to say anything else. She put her mind to business.
The matter of the shop had been progressing smoothly with Zhao Deng's help, but this fellow had not stopped when he was busy, and in less than two days, he had returned with the beauty in his arms. When Zhou Leping visited his residence, he saw that girl from afar once, and it was very familiar to him when he glanced at her from afar.
Zhao Deng called for her to get to know him, ”This is Qian Qian.”
After introducing Qian Qian and her plans, Qian Qian pointed at Zhou Leping and suddenly exclaimed, ”General? Is it really your general? ”
Zhou Leping thought that she looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her before. Just as he was thinking hard, Qian Qian suddenly jumped into her embrace and hugged her.
At this moment, for some reason, Zhao Deng felt as if he was suddenly robbed by a blade.
”This, this, this …”
It wasn't the first time he was treated as a man, but the first time he was hugged like this by a woman. For a moment, he didn't know how to react or even stammer.
Zhao Deng quickly pulled the two apart, pointed at Zhou Leping and asked, ”You know her?”
Qian Qian's eyes turned red, he nodded his head like he was pounding garlic, ”I do, while my father and I were singing in the inn... To be bullied, it was the general who saved me. ”
Zhou Leping remembered, ”So it's you, didn't I give you the silver back then? ”Then what did you guys do after that? How did it …” She turned her head and looked at Zhao Deng with disdain, ”Why are you at the Duke Palaces, with Prince Rui?”
Qian Qian glanced at Zhao Deng, his face flushed red, ”General gave me and father silver for a tea house, but after that … In the end, when we met a guest that intentionally caused trouble and ruined the stall, even our father was severely injured. Luckily, when the prince stepped in to save us, I was unable to repay him. and I agreed to commit myself to it. ”
She immediately understood what was going on. She pursed her lips into a smile and pulled Zhao Deng away, ”My prince, let's talk after I borrow a step.”
She was strong, so how could Zhao Deng resist? He was dragged to the end of the corridor by her, and snorted unhappily, ”What are you doing? This duke is still a prince, can't you give me some face in front of Qian Qian? ”
”Your Highness, Qian Qian is a lady from a normal family, she is not the same person as your concubine, you are new, if you see the beauty of her parents, you can just go and trick her. If you don't like her from today onwards, how can she, a woman with no power and no influence, live?”
Zhao Deng looked at her with his hands on his waist, ”What do you mean? What about pouring cold water on me? This King is a bit sentimental, but This King has always bragged that he is a good man and has never treated any woman that has followed This King unfairly. Furthermore, how do you know that I will definitely get tired of her? I think she's my destiny. ”
Zhou Leping rolled his eyes at him, ”If this subject remembers correctly, you must have said it like this to all the other women, right?”
”Zhou Leping! I'm warning you, you're not allowed to speak ill of me in front of Qian Qian. This king will help you open a shop. It's already cheap enough not to let you repay me, but you better watch your language later! ”
”This subject is just reminding Your Highness. Although Qian Qian seems weak, she is actually a person with a strong personality. You should take it easy on her, so that she won't be like that Miss Tongyun …”
