Chapter 890 Extra: Princess Mansion
Chapter 890 Extra: Princess Mansion
At the princess's mansion, Baili Ziyuan happily ran to Li Zuo's tea room.
"Daddy! Daddy!"
"Yier said she wants to take us to the Valley Beyond the Mountains to meet her good friends. Can we go?!"
As soon as she rushed into Li Zuo's teahouse, Ziyuan saw Meng Jiayue "behaving intimately" with her father.
Her expression changed and turned cold instantly, "What are you doing?!"
Li Zuo quickly pushed Meng Jiayue away, his expression becoming extremely grim. "Ziyuan, you misunderstood!"
Baili Ziyuan shook her head coldly, and the respect and love for her father in her eyes suddenly disappeared a lot.
"Dad, I saw everything. Is there any misunderstanding?"
"I may be small, but that doesn't mean I'm stupid!"
"Mother has always had a grudge against you because of this woman. Clearly, your relationship has improved a lot in the past few days. Why are you entangled with her again now?"
"Father, when you do this, have you ever thought about how my mother feels?"
Li Zuo's face flushed red. He never thought that one day his own daughter would point at his nose and scold him!
As a great scholar in Yifang City, he has a good reputation and strict behavior. If this matter gets out, he will have no place to save his face!
"Ziyuan, you really misunderstood. Father and she are really not what you imagined!"
Meng Jiayue, who had been kneeling on the ground, stood up and explained anxiously, "Yes, County Master, you really misunderstood..."
"Shut up!" Li Zuo shouted angrily. For the first time, he felt such a strong disgust towards a woman!
She had drugged him before, saying that she loved and admired him, which was why she was so obsessed and did such a wrong thing! He believed her and did not embarrass her. He even felt sorry for her when the eldest princess embarrassed her.
But now, he really wished that the princess had dealt with her from the beginning! Otherwise, she wouldn't have come to his tea room today and asked him to plead with the princess.
The most important thing is that she started to tug at him as soon as she arrived, and what a coincidence that she was seen by her most beloved daughter!
"Meng Jiayue, are you doing this on purpose?" He stared at her coldly. At this moment, Li Zuo had lost some of the elegance of a scholar, but instead had some of the murderous aura of a general on the battlefield.
"You made a huge mistake yourself, and even caused a rift between me and the eldest princess. Now, I've finally reconciled with the eldest princess, and you're causing trouble again!"
"Meng Jiayue, are you deliberately seeking revenge against the princess and me? You won't stop until you completely alienate the princess and me, right?"
Meng Jiayue was stunned on the spot, her eyes full of disbelief.
The Li Zuo at this moment seemed to be two completely different people from the Li Zuo she knew!
Before, he was simple and kind, never assuming malice towards others. Even towards her, he always treated her with courtesy and never considered her a servant.
But after Baili Ruyun came back this time, he changed. He became sensitive and indifferent. No matter how she cried and begged, he would not listen at all, and even looked at her with disgust!
"Zhengru, you, how can you say that to me?"
Meng Jiayue was wearing a plain dress. She had regular facial features, bright almond eyes, a cherry mouth, and a hint of sadness and weakness between her eyebrows. She looked very pitiful.
But Li Zuo was tired of seeing her like this, and he was immune to her methods.
"Shouldn't I say that to you?"
"As the eldest princess's attendant, why aren't you serving her at this moment? Instead, why are you in my tea room?"
"You deliberately pulled me around, and the King of Ball helped you plead with the Princess, so why did you happen to rush before the County Lord arrived?"
Meng Jiayue looked pitiful and defended herself, "I just wanted to ask you to plead with the Princess to stop humiliating me. I didn't mean any other thing!"
"No other meaning? Then what is that thing you're hiding in your sleeve?"
It's a trap. Once he falls into it, no one will have the chance to frame him a second time.
Meng Jiayue's expression froze, and surprise appeared in her eyes.
How could he know?
"Why, you don't dare to take it out?"
Li Zuo looked at her coldly, "As soon as you came, you leaned against me, leaned on my tea table, and cried to the sky. Do you really think I know nothing?"
"If I didn't want to see what you were up to, do you think I would let you step into my tea room?"
"As expected! The princess is right! You are an ungrateful person who can never be tamed!!"
Meng Jiayue's face turned completely gloomy.
She really didn't expect that Li Zuo would become so sharp.
Her method failed again.
"Hahaha!"
Suddenly, she burst into laughter, with a hint of sadness and despair in her eyes.
"I'm an ungrateful person?"
"Aren't you the ones who are truly ungrateful?"
"How much have I sacrificed for the Princess's Mansion? How much of Yifang City's current achievements are due to me? Do you all remember?"
"But what about you? You are so ungrateful and repay kindness with hatred. Not only do you negate all my efforts, but you also trample on my self-respect and dignity!"
"Baili Ruyun is hypocritical. How good do you think you are?"
"You're clearly interested in me, yet you're pretending to be so noble and playing hard to get! Li Zuo, you're even more hypocritical than Baili Ruyun! Disgusting!"
"You and your whole family are all devils who eat people without leaving any bones behind! Scum!!"
Li Zuo was so angry listening to these illogical slanders that he just wanted to laugh.
"Meng Jiayue, aren't we, husband and wife, good enough for you?"
"Back then, you were being hunted by your enemies, and it was the eldest princess who dealt with them for you. That's why you have the chance to live until now!"
"Yes! You have indeed made many meaningful suggestions regarding the governance of Yifang City, but how dare you attribute all the credit for Yifang City's current achievements to yourself?"
"Yifang City was built through the painstaking efforts of the Princess, who defended it day and night! How dare you, a mere strategist, dream of claiming all the credit for it?"
"madness!!"
