Girl, there's something wrong with you

In the venue, Wang Maohong drank a little too much, so he got up and went to the back room to take a rest.

After pouring a cup of tea and lighting a stick of sandalwood in the quiet room, the chief minister sat quietly on a chair and relaxed his mind... Suddenly there was a knock on the door outside.

"Prince." The voice was Cui Congyan, the head of the Cui family. I specially chose to visit him at this time when he was resting, and it was obviously planned in advance.

"Cong Yan, do you have something to discuss?" Wang Maohong asked with a smile.

In the side hall outside the venue, Wang Wanrou looked at Cheng Jinyang coldly, and the latter laughed, thinking about the corresponding words in his mind.

"Wang Wanrou!" Cui Jinqi's voice suddenly sounded outside the door. The voice didn't seem very friendly.

"Ha." Wang Wanrou sneered.

In the quiet room, Cui Congyan came in and sat across from Wang Maohong.

The former has a solemn expression, while the latter has a calm expression. The tea soup is rippling in the cup, and the sandalwood is curling up in the stove.

In the side hall, Cui Jinqi and Wang Wanrou came in and looked at each other.

The former gritted his teeth and the latter smiled in response. Jinyang forced himself to calm down, while Qingzhi watched coldly.

"...Zhongshu has been suspicious of Su Zigao for a long time." In the quiet room, Cui Congyan said slowly, "In the past, the imperial court rushed south in a hurry, and the late emperor left Su Zigao in Liyang, north of the Yangtze River, to stop the demons and meet the refugees. It was only a temporary measure. "

"However, for decades, Jiangbei has lived in peace with the demons. Zhongshu suspected that Su Zigao had an affair with the demons, not because he wanted to accuse him, but..."

"Cong Yan wants to ask, is Su Zigao really colluding with the demon?" Wang Maohong asked leisurely.

"Exactly."

"But that's not important." Wang Maohong said with a smile, "As long as Zhongshu chooses to take action, Su Zigao will have only one way to go, whether he has the intention to rebel or not."

"Today's Jiankang City cannot bear the second war at all." Cui Congyan sighed.

Wang Maohong was silent. He understood what Cui Congyan meant: If Mr. Zhongshu is allowed to go on his own way, it will inevitably lead to a full-scale conflict between Jiankang and Liyang.

It's just that in today's political environment, Yu Yuangui, who has the support of the queen, is far closer to imperial power than Wang Maohong. If you want to defeat Yu Yuangui in the political arena, it is simply impossible under the imperial power structure.

Unless he breaks out of the imperial power structure, leads all the nobles with the reputation of the five surname families, and confronts Yu Yuangui who controls the imperial power... However, that is tantamount to destroying the imperial power with his own hands. How is it different from Wang Chuzhong?

Seeing that Wang Maohong never said a word, Cui Congyan understood what he meant. He stood up in disappointment and held his hands in his hands, bowing lightly.

"...Aren't you just jealous of me!" Cui Jinqi shouted in the side hall, "Didn't we make an appointment in the past to find out the secrets of Jinyang together?"

"But you fell in love with him first and didn't tell me. I would be curious about him. Isn't it normal?"

"Are you worried that you can't compete with me?" Wang Wanrou asked calmly.

"No!"

"Then what are you talking about?" Wang Wanrou said with a sneer, "As soon as you come in, you point the finger at me. You are bluffing and looking fierce. Who are you acting for?"

"You don't have to provoke me," Cui Jinqi said in a low voice, "There's no need to change the subject, just tell me if you're jealous!"

Wang Wanrou remained silent. She understood what Cui Jinqi meant: jealousy itself is not a big deal, what matters is her attitude.

Now the battlefield is in chaos, Cheng Jinyang is always ambiguous and has a vague attitude, Cui Jinqi and Xing Yunzhi are already too strenuous to fight, and Chu Qingqing is walking around watching eagerly. If Wang Wanrou joins the battlefield again, Cui Xiaoniang doesn't know what to do.

Sometimes, Cui Xiaoniang really wants to just tie her up and carry her back to the Cui family to get married, no matter what the scumbag man promises or guarantees... However, there are more problems with forced marriage. The family, Jinyang, and those love rivals have to How to deal with it?

Seeing that Wang Wanrou remained silent, Cui Jinqi understood what she meant, stood up in despair, and bit her lower lip.

So, Wanrou...

Will we become enemies?

Xing Yuanzhi turned her face sideways and cast her gaze on Wang Wanrou's face, her expression somewhat unclear; Chu Qingqing pressed the back of the chair with an expression that was half-smiling but not smiling. Cheng Jinyang sighed and stood up:

"What are you so noisy about?"

The girls all turned their eyes and looked at him in disbelief.

Why are we quarreling? Don't you, a scumbag, have any skills at all?

"First of all, I am very happy to be favored by you all." Cheng Jinyang said in a sincere tone, "However, it is definitely impossible to get married."

"Our future is definitely bright. As for why we say this, everyone understands. After all, it only takes a few years. If I are asked to marry now, how can I agree? If it were you, would you be willing?"

"Although the future is bright, the reality is definitely tortuous. Our family no longer has a fifth grade, and the sixth grade ones are all elders with no growth potential. There is no hope of reviving the family in the next few years, and everyone can see it. "

"So for your family, let alone marriage, even if it is just a romantic relationship, is it possible? Does your family allow it? After all, there is only one way to marry into the family. However, as mentioned before, marrying into the family is very important. This is unacceptable to me personally.”

"To sum up, it's too early to talk about love, engagement, and marriage now. You can't make the decision at home, and I also need time..."

"Wait a minute." Xing Yunzhi interrupted him, "We all know the difficulties in reality, and we don't need you to remind us again. We just want to know, from a purely personal perspective, who do you like more?"

Putting aside the complicated cloak of rhetoric and getting to the core of the problem, Cheng Jinyang felt a biting chill.

However, of course he would not be stopped by the question, and immediately smiled and said:

"Is this important?"

"It's very important." Xing Yunzhi said.

"That's good." Cheng Jinyang sighed, "I like all of you very much."

Girls:? ? ?

"Don't rush to accuse me of being a scumbag." Cheng Jinyang cleverly said, "When I say 'like', I just mean that I have a good impression. As for a deeper love, I haven't reached that point yet."

"Actually, I have always felt that this kind of thing should happen naturally. Before it reaches that point, no one knows what is going on. Once it reaches that point, a relationship will naturally be established."

He glanced at everyone and said with a smile:

"As for confession, it's just pushing the relationship to reach that point faster."

Cui Jinqi blinked and suddenly showed an excited look:

I see!

In other words, love is more like a long-distance race than a transaction where whoever makes the deal is the one who gets it.

Yuan Zhi, you and Jin Yang have known each other for a long time, what’s the use? It's just that you start first, the one who persists until the end is the winner. As Jin Yang said, as long as you reach the "end", you will naturally build relationships and win...

"Hmph." She stood up and said with high spirits, "Since Jin Yang said so, let's all compete fairly!"

Xing Yunzhi and Chu Qingqing looked at her speechlessly.

Isn't this girl too easy to deceive?
