C58 (1/2)

Zhao Deng blushed, ”Don't blindly meddle in a man's business.”

”Don't be like this. I'm half a man, so I'll say this again. I'm still your senior sister. Can't senior sister care about you?”

Zhao Deng scoffed, and simply stopped watching. ”How about this, Dr Zhu will follow me back to the Duke Palaces first, and I'll send the person back tomorrow morning.” He then turned to Zhou Leping and asked, ”General Zhou, do you have any objections?”

”Since Your Highness has already spoken, how could I dare to object? I will naturally listen to you.”

During the meal, Zhao Deng told her about Lin Jing bribing people everywhere, telling her to be more careful. Even if she didn't want to say it, she would still spend money on it.

Ever since she returned to the capital, she had never lacked people who would try to get close to her. However, she was too lazy to deal with them.

Firstly, she wasn't good at interacting with these people, and secondly, it was difficult to differentiate between friend and foe. Secondly, she wasn't good at interacting with these people, and secondly, it was difficult to differentiate between friend and foe.

”He is bribing people everywhere because he is guilty, and I am not guilty.”

”You've returned for so long, I thought you should be clear about it. Royal Brother is deliberately leaning towards you, but if the ministers were to side with you, you wouldn't be able to do anything even if you wanted to.”

Her hand paused for a moment before she helplessly said, ”I understand.”

Maintaining the friendship between colleagues was not that easy either. You had to flatter them, and Zhou Leping could not learn these things.

For example, today, I met with Tutor Zhang. Tutor Zhang was a teacher under the crown prince of the emperor, so when he spoke, his words were gentle, and when he opened his mouth, it was like he was speaking the truth. The tone of a lecturer made Zhou Leping want to fall asleep.

”General? ”General?”

Zhou Leping woke up from his stupor, wiped the corner of his mouth, and clapped, ”Master Zhang is right, you are right, this general has learnt his lesson.”

Tutor Zhang was so angry that his two whiskers curled up as he snorted heavily. With a flick of his sleeve, he left without even turning his head back.

These civil officials were so full of nonsense that they couldn't say anything for a long time. If it was a military general, they wouldn't have to speak so much, right?

But she was wrong again. Either one of them was unwilling to accept her defeat, or they were about to fight her first. They were still unwilling to accept that she had beat them to the ground and claimed that they would fight another day.

The other type of person who worshipped her was someone who would spar with her even if she came up. After an entire morning, if she wasn't nagging, she would be on the verge of death.

It wasn't easy for her to rest, and she finally felt at peace. Qi Miao came back to ask again, saying that someone was causing trouble, asking her how to deal with it.

”Do you want me to teach you such a stupid thing? ”If you dare to come and mess with laozi in my territory, then I'll throw you back!”

Qi Miao was annoyed, ”But Your Highness said that the guests are guests, and if you want your business to flourish, you have to treat your guests like gods.”

”You are usually quite quick-witted, why are you so muddled at critical moments? You're already here to cause trouble, how can you still be a customer? ”They're here to find trouble, but don't go too far and teach them a lesson.”

Qi Miao replied and left. On the way out, he met Zhu Guanliang and they greeted each other, and when Zhou Leping saw him, his eyes lit up as he waved for him to come over, ”Have you treated the Duke? What's wrong with you, your highness? ”

”The general cares a lot about the prince's health?”

”Of course, quickly tell me, what happened exactly?”

”Resting your breath is difficult.”
