After reading the whole family's minds, the eldest daughter awakened

Chapter 98 Li Mingzhu’s innocence was almost destroyed

In the Li family's study room, Li Mingzhu stood in front of the desk politely, while Li Dengyuan tapped his fingers on the table, not knowing what he was thinking.

Li Mingzhu was very anxious. She wanted to speak to break the silence, but she felt that her father seemed to be in a bad mood today, so she swallowed back the words that came to her lips.

A full quarter of an hour passed before Li Dengyuan spoke.

"Mingzhu, what do you think of the young master of the Zhou family?"

Li Mingzhu was even more panicked. Why did her father suddenly mention the Zhou family's young master? No matter which Zhou family's young master he was, he couldn't compare with her prince brother.

"Dad, are you talking about Zhou Tengfei or Zhou Yanting?"

"Zhou Tengfei doesn't need to think about it. His family has declined. Of course, dad is talking about Zhou Yanting from the household minister's family."

Li Mingzhu tightened the handkerchief in her hand, "Dad, he made a big mistake during the martial arts test. It is said that when he was in Hongru Academy, his popularity was not very good."

Even though Li Mingzhu was not good at herself, she had very high standards. She never looked down on Zhou Yanting in her heart.

Li Dengyuan narrowed his eyes and continued, "What if you were asked to marry him?"

"Dad, are you kidding Mingzhu? I belong to the prince, how can I marry him?"

Li Mingzhu subconsciously took two steps back, with resentment hidden in her eyes. Her father was simply crazy. She had already thought about how Zhou Yanting could compare with the prince. She would not marry anyone except the prince.

"Hmph, you do want to marry the prince, but he didn't say he must marry you."

The prince slapped Li Dengyuan in the face today, which made him quite dissatisfied.

Li Mingzhu's body swayed, "Dad, did the prince himself say that he won't marry me?"

"Okay, anyway, don't say anything outside that you want to marry the prince.

Historically, women have been ordered to get married by their parents, so you should learn etiquette at home and don't show up in public anymore. "

"Dad, I don't believe it. I want to hear it from His Highness the Prince himself."

"Li Mingzhu, I also want to lose face. If you dare to go out without permission again, don't blame me for not caring about the relationship between father and daughter."

Li Mingzhu's body swayed, and she felt as if she had fallen from heaven to hell in an instant.

Li Dengyuan was afraid that Li Mingzhu would go out secretly without listening to the advice, so he specifically asked Mrs. Li to keep an eye on her.

Li Dengyuan had ignored Mrs. Li for a long time. When she suddenly received this task, she was so happy that she asked Li Mingzhu to move in with her.

In this way, under her nose, Li Mingzhu would have no chance to go out.

Mrs. Li took every precaution, but she was still tricked. After drinking a bowl of chicken soup cooked by Li Mingzhu herself, she fell asleep.

When she woke up, Li Mingzhu had already left the house with his maid and mother-in-law.

Mrs. Li didn't dare to say anything, for fear of being discovered by Li Dengyuan who had just returned from court, so she could only lead people to secretly leave through the back door to look for him.

Li Mingzhu found out that the prince would go to Qingfeng Tower today, so she took the risk to stun Mrs. Li.

After entering Qingfeng Building, she took people directly to the private room on the second floor. She didn't know which private room the prince was in, and she didn't dare to knock on the door one by one to find him.

Just when she didn't know what to do, the door of the private room in front of her opened and Zhou Yanting walked out.

Seeing Li Mingzhu, his eyes narrowed.

"Miss Mingzhu, what a coincidence."

Li Mingzhu knew Zhou Yanting. Seeing that he spoke politely, he also called her Miss Mingzhu. In addition, Zhou Yanting was not bad looking, so Li Mingzhu actually had a good impression of him.

"Mr. Zhou, I'm here to see His Highness the Crown Prince. Do you know which private room he is in?"

Li Mingzhu tucked the broken hair behind her ears and asked gently.

Zhou Yanting shook his head, "I have not seen His Highness the Crown Prince, why don't you come in and wait."

Li Mingzhu looked around and realized that it was inappropriate for her to stand here, so she nodded, "You won't disturb Mr. Zhou, right?"

"Miss Mingzhu is willing to give you a compliment. It's my honor. Why bother? Please." Li Mingzhu was very satisfied with Zhou Yanting's compliment. She thanked him with a smile and followed him into the room.

There were several young masters in the room, some of whom Li Mingzhu could call by name, and some whom he had never seen before.

When those people saw Li Mingzhu, they all winked at Zhou Yanting, with a smirk that couldn't be hidden in their eyes.

Zhou Yanting understood the meaning in their eyes and gave them the same wink, indicating that they should leave first.

The others understood and found excuses to leave the private room. In the end, only Li Mingzhu, Zhou Yanting and their servants were left.

"Mr. Zhou, it's getting late for me to come out. It's time for me to go back."

Li Mingzhu is not very smart, but she is not stupid either. As a woman who has not yet left the court, if someone knows that she is alone in a room with her foreign husband, she will not need to lose her reputation.

Zhou Yanting raised his hand to stop Li Mingzhu.

"Since Miss Mingzhu is here, don't leave in a hurry. The tea here is good, you can try it."

Zhou Yanting poured a cup of tea himself and brought it to Li Mingzhu.

Li Mingzhu thought that the tea would not make her drunk, so she took it and drank it.

When the tea came into his mouth, Li Mingzhu felt his eyes go dark, and with a plop, he fell on the table.

The maids and women who were waiting on her were frightened and rushed forward to check on Li Mingzhu, but they were stopped by Zhou Yanting's people.

"If your lady is tired, let her have a good rest. Someone, please take them all down."

After Zhou Yanting finished speaking, he leaned over to hug Li Mingzhu.

The strongest among them was the woman, who was struggling and shouting.

"Help me."

"Hey, shut up. If you don't want your lady's reputation to be tarnished, don't make any noise."

Zhou Yanting slapped the woman hard, his eyes filled with scarlet malice.

The woman had two of her teeth knocked out, but she knew in her heart that if no one came to save her young lady now, her innocence would be ruined.

And if they fail to protect the young lady, the consequences will be quite miserable.

"Mr. Zhou, please let my lady go, she is still so young."

"You old fool, I will kill you today."

Zhou Yanting drew out the sword from his waist and was about to pierce the mother-in-law's chest, but at this moment, the door was kicked open from the outside.

There was a loud bang, and the door broke into several parts. In Nanchen, there were not many people with such strength.

Zhou Yanting hurriedly looked at the door and saw Li Youwei and Nalan Ling standing there.

Li Youwei was walking towards him step by step in a pair of brand new black soap boots.

Zhou Yanting swallowed several times subconsciously, "Vice General Li, why are you here? Haha, your sister is too drunk. I am planning to send her home."

Word of Li Youwei's fighting skills had already spread throughout the capital, and Zhou Yanting's men hurriedly followed suit.

The mother-in-law who just shouted quickly picked up Li Mingzhu and hid behind Li Youwei.

"Mr. Zhou, don't return the etiquette, justice and shame learned in the academy to Master. I hope you can take care of yourself."

"What Deputy General Li said is, please walk slowly."

Zhou Yanting almost gritted his teeth and said these two sentences. Was he trying to be cowardly? It's because he really doesn't dare to confront Li Youwei.

Li Youwei took Li Mingzhu back to Li Mansion and took him directly to Li Dengyuan's study.
