552 The Woman Who Alters Fate (1/2)

”How can it be? This person was not crippled?”

Ping Yang stared at Fang Zhengzhi with enlarged eyes, looking at his dismissive expression and condescending smile.

Before today, she would definitely have thought that Fang Zhengzhi was arrogant, bold and naïve. To think that he would bargain right in front of her father!

However, Ping Yang felt none of those at that moment.

When a person was not strong enough, an arrogant expression would let others believe that he was overestimating himself. However, what if a person was strong enough?

Would anyone think that he was insane and dismissive?

That was a mistake!

Everything was a mistake!

Not only was she wrong, the entire room of courtiers, her third brother the Crown Prince, her sixth brother King Duan, as well as her almighty father, were all wrong.

”This shameless person has the capacity to be arrogant. He has the capacity to bargain with her father. Third Ranking Official? He was worthy of being the Law Official! If what happened today was really planned by this person, then we have truly conferred upon him a title not befitting of his capabilities!”

Ping Yang then subconsciously moved towards Fang Zhengzhi.

She wanted to see the features of this shameless person clearly. She wanted to determine if he was indeed as strong as she envisioned him to be

Her rosy cheeks were flushed as she continued forward. However, she seemed to not realize that she was moving a bit too close, her face was going to make contact with Fang Zhengzhi's one anytime soon.

This scene…

Was naturally captured in the eyes of the courtiers.

Everyone was shocked by the turn of events. They actually so Princess Ping Yang moving closer and closer towards Fang Zhengzhi.

And even closer…

”What a disgrace!”

If the person who did this was not Ping Yang, but any other woman, they would definitely have shouted that sentence out loud.

However, they didn't dare to!

This was because the person was Ping Yang. She was the most doted daughter of the Majesty and most importantly, the emperor was right in front of them.

”So this is the guy who made the Princess…”

”No wonder he dared to bargain with the emperor and even showed disdain at his official rank. He did not even care about the Crown Prince! To think that he had something to fall back on!”

”It seems like Fang Zhengzhi did not stop plotting while he was in Ping Yang Residence. To think that he did something of this sort to the Princess. This is way too shameless, the princess is not even married yet!”

”I sincerely hope he did not get what he wants? Or else…”

These thoughts immediately flashed through the courtier's mind. The then looked at Fang Zhengzhi again with new impressions in their head.

For example, things like a paedophilic beast! Or a shameless man who cheats on Ping Yang's innocent and pure feelings!

”Fang Zhengzhi, you dared to…” Lin Tianrong wanted to say out those words, but under the judging eyes of the courtiers, he swallowed them back.

A pair of eyes squinted and looked at Ping Yang while clenching her fists.

If…

Fang Zhengzhi and Ping Yang truly had that kind of relationship.

Then even he would not be able to do anything to Fang Zhengzhi. This was because the Majesty would never let Ping Yang come to harm.

As for widowhood?

That would be even more impossible!

The scene was awkwardly quiet.

Lin Mubai also fell speechless. The expression on his face became strange upon seeing this scene as his eyes widened in shock.

As a father!

He had always strived to give Ping Yang the best life and utmost protection.

However, he had never thought that Ping Yang would fall in love with Fang Zhengzhi. More specifically, he did not expect it to happen too fast.

”You beast, my daughter is still young! I still want her by my side for a few more years, how dare you…” Lin Mubai thought of these things in his heart, though he could not say them out.

This was because Ping Yang was the person clearly moving towards Fang Zhengzhi.

In other words…

His treasured daughter was the one who made the initiative. If he forcibly stops them now, it might have the opposite effect.

Marriage amongst the royal family.

This had always been a complicated thing.

Sometimes, it would be used to gain the support from powerful courtiers. On other occasions, it could also be used to achieve peaceful coexistence with the countries on the sidelines.

Of course, Lin Mubai had never thought of using Ping Yang for any political purposes. However, this did not mean that he would be willing to let anyone marry her.

Not to mention for her to make the initiative towards Fang Zhengzhi.

He did not think that Fang Zhengzhi wasn't good enough.

It was just…

Lin Mubai had never thought about this. Everything was too sudden, there just wasn't enough time for him to accept it. Should he really let Fang Zhengzhi become his son-in-law?

At that moment, Lin Mubai was seriously thinking about a problem that he had never once encountered.

Fang Zhengzhi naturally would not be able to guess the courtier's thoughts. However, he could feel a warm gush of air closing in towards him.

The moment he turned his head, his eyes widened.

This was because a pair of clear blue eyes was slowly approaching him, and under the pair of eyes, was a supple, pink lip.

For a moment, Fang Zhengzhi's thought processes became sluggish. He had never once thought that Ping Yang would make such a move.

Until…

He felt a warm soft sensation on his face.

”What is going on!” Fang Zhengzhi woke up from his trance and immediately retreated a few steps. He had always regarded himself as a reseller of his knowledge and not his body. What did the intimacy even mean?

Even if it was just the face!

Most importantly…

There were courtiers, the Crown Prince, King Duan and even Lin Mubai watching them. What did he just experience?

Fang Zhengzhi subconsciously stared at Lin Mubai.

He then saw the livid expression on his face.

Well… that would probably be the expression of any father who saw his precious daughter being taken advantage of. It wasn't an expression of rage, but it definitely wasn't happy.

”Shit, he is not going to suspect me of having an intimate relationship with his daughter, right?” Fang Zhengzhi felt extremely maligned. He needed to explain himself.

However, at that moment, Ping Yang had also recollected herself and took a look at Fang Zhengzhi who had retreated a few steps away. She did not react to what had just happened.

However, it did not take long for her to scream.
