Dressed as the vicious stepmother of the villains

Chapter 431 Eccentricity
Zheng Hongxiu also overheard someone mentioning that the current crown prince had a rebellious and stubborn personality, and when others said he was inclined to the west, he couldn't tell it on weekdays, and he would fall ill at critical moments.

It was passed as a joke at first, but who would have thought that it would be used in a life-and-death situation in the wilderness.

When Ping An walked out from the foot of Xuandan Mountain and sat in a stable carriage, Zheng Hongxiu solemnly thanked the prince, "Thank you, His Royal Highness, for your rescue. The little girl is very grateful, and I can't repay you."

The prince listened quietly, thinking there was more to come, but Zheng Hongxiu actually shut up.

"You..." He couldn't help asking, "Isn't there still a body promise or something next?"

Zheng Hongxiu was still sitting steadily, but the corners of his mouth twitched.

Is it that easy to say a promise with your body?

Isn't he a prince once, why would he believe the plots in these scripts.

But after being neglected by Zheng's family for more than ten years, Zheng Hongxiu had already developed a calm temperament.

She smiled warmly, "His Royal Highness was joking, the Zheng family will thank you for saving the little girl."

Whether it's out of courtesy or out of sincerity.

The prince was at a loss for words, he let out a long sigh, I don't know whether it was regret or emotion, the girl in front of him seemed a little different from just now.

Soon, the Zheng family arrived.

The coachman stopped the carriage at the door, opened the curtain again, and waited respectfully aside.

The prince flicked his robe and wanted to get out of the car, but turned around when he walked to the shaft of the car, "Maybe get out of the car?"

Zheng Hongxiu was afraid that he would not play the cards according to common sense, so he hurriedly said, "If you can get it, you can get it."

Falling from the mountain, although he was lucky enough to be hooked to his belt by a branch, his life was saved, but his leg did not escape the fate of being injured by the fall.

But after staying in Zheng's family for so long, Zheng Hongxiu has already developed a temperament of not complaining and not speaking out. Not to mention the difference between men and women, even if her first relatives are here, as long as she has a sigh of relief, she will not seek help.

Besides, it's just a carriage, and it's nothing compared to the helplessness at the foot of Xuandan Mountain.

Soon, under the watchful eyes of the crown prince and the coachman, Zheng Hongxiu got out of the carriage cautiously.

Occasionally, when she came across a wound, she only frowned and regained her composure.

This is a long process.

The prince is not a patient person, at least in the past ten years, he has always thought so.

But at this moment, seeing a girl persevering, he suddenly felt that waiting was not at all sad.

When Zheng Hongxiu stood firmly in front of Zheng's house, the prince was actually happy for her from the bottom of his heart.

This is a gentle but stubborn girl.

But unfortunately, I was born in a somewhat indifferent family.

The prince raised his head and glanced at the Zheng family's gate, which had not been opened until now, with a trace of coldness in his eyes.

The coachman stepped forward cleverly and knocked on the door again.

After a long meeting, the door of the Zheng family was slowly opened. The Patriarch of the Zheng family, whom he had not seen for a long time, walked out hand in hand with his wife. They first met the crown prince, and then looked at the struggling Zheng Hongxiu, "Axiu is back, don't allow it next time." If you want to play again and fall down the mountain, your sister has been ill for two days and has not recovered."

As soon as this remark came out, the prince was furious.

Pian Zheng Hongxiu didn't mind, just tilted his head, and smiled steadily, "It was Axiu who made parents worry, Axiu knew it was wrong."

Mrs. Zheng nodded in satisfaction, as if she was very pleased with the second daughter's understanding.

The head of the Zheng family turned his head to greet the prince, and wanted to invite him into the hall.

The prince didn't move.

He didn't like the way this girl smiled before, and he always felt a little unnatural.

Now he understands that her smile is a kind of disguise, covering up her real temperament, only revealing her calm and gentleness, trying to express kindness to her surroundings.

She can stop laughing like that.

You can complain that you are suffering at the foot of the hanging bile mountain, you can complain that you fell off the cliff for not being playful, you can complain about being afraid when you are alone, and you can complain about your parents not showing up in time.

But she didn't say anything.

Inexplicably, the prince was feeling irritable and depressed.

The Patriarch of the Zheng family was still babbling, and he flicked his sleeves, "Father asked Gu to go out this time because he had something to do, and Gu saved the daughter of the Zheng family, and now he still has something important to do, so I won't have dinner with Mr. Zheng. Chance to sit down again."

The Patriarch of the Zheng family closed his mouth. Although he was a little disappointed, he had no choice but to give way.

The prince boarded the carriage and left.

Zheng Hongxiu smiled warmly and watched him leave.

This is their first encounter.

For the next few days, Zheng Hongxiu stayed at Zheng's home to recuperate from his injuries. Seeing that her sister was not in danger, Zheng Hongyu got better from the "shock".

Moreover, she refused to take her sister out again on the grounds of this accident.

Although Sun Xie still asked questions every time, but Zheng Hongxiu was not around, he had no choice but to feel lost.

Life is going on unhurriedly, if there is no accident, Zheng Hongxiu will stay in the boudoir until Jiji, and the mother will choose a suitable son, marry him and teach him.

But the accident still happened.

The prince... has chosen a concubine.

The Zheng family was supposed to send the eldest daughter Zheng Hongyu to be selected, but Zheng Hongyu's heart was on the young Lang Sunxie, and the eldest daughter who had always been spoiled and grown up pestered her mother, "Let Axiu go, she has a beautiful life, is gentle and kind, and will definitely Make the prince happy."

This is a big matter, Mrs. Zheng dare not agree, she pursed her lips and did not speak.

Zheng Hongyu persisted, "It's not good to be a concubine. It is said that this time I have to choose one side and two sides. Mother, I don't want to share my husband with so many people. If I want to marry, I will marry Sun Xie. The Sun family has a gentle and respectful style. Only when a man is forty and childless can he take a concubine, mother, do you have the heart to see your daughter work together as a husband?"

Moreover, although the Zheng family is in the imperial court, they are not regarded as important positions. It may be a bit lacking to be a crown princess, and maybe they can only be selected as side concubines.

Mrs. Zheng was shaken in her heart, and finally nodded, "I'll go and have a good talk with Ah Xiu, she has a good temper, maybe she will agree."

Zheng Hongyu hugged Mrs. Zheng and smiled with satisfaction.

But he didn't notice Zheng Hongxiu quietly exiting the door.

After more than ten years, is the peaceful life finally going to be disrupted?

It is true to say that it is not reconciled, but when Mrs. Zheng came to find her and Shi Shi mentioned it, Zheng Hongxiu nodded.

Mrs. Zheng was surprised, delighted, and distressed.

She said, "Axiu, it's actually your elder sister who should go, but Ayu has a domineering temper and doesn't know how to be humble. In the palace of the deep house, I'm afraid you can't advance and retreat as well as you do. Although my mother doesn't want you to go, I have thought about it for a long time." , you are more suitable than Ayu after all."

So, the right person should go.

Zheng Hongxiu raised his head, staring blankly at Mrs. Zheng's face.

This was the first time she didn't smile warmly, she just looked at Mrs. Zheng calmly and indifferently, "What mother said is true."

Mrs. Zheng's heart skipped a beat, she always felt that something was far away from her, but when she looked carefully, everything was there.

She collected herself, thinking that she was thinking too much, "Then, you get ready, Axiu."

The slender second daughter walked to the edge of the bed, gave her a back view, and a cold "hmm".
