Chapter 91 Confrontation
Nanmen Yu finished his greeting and looked at Zheng Nianru. A moment of tenderness flickered in his calm eyes, but he quickly felt embarrassed and lowered his head as Xue Liu brought over a chair. Nanmen Yu didn’t want to sit. What he actually wanted was to sit in Zheng Haoyuan’s seat, but Zheng Haoyuan seemed calm as if he hadn’t seen him at all.
However, under the facade of calmness, Zheng Haoyuan was gripping the lychee in his hand tightly. How could he be here? With so many poisonous snakes, couldn’t one of them have had the eyesight to let him get out alive?
"Nian Ru, I’ve noticed that there are suddenly more poisonous snakes in the Imperial Palace. You need to assign more people to stand guard at night," Nanmen Yu suddenly spoke up. "This is some realgar powder and other medicinal powders I found overnight. Sprinkle it around Qishun Building, and it should keep the snakes away."
Nanny Yun immediately took it from him.
"Thank you, Princely Heir." So he came for this.
Zheng Haoyuan suddenly looked up, staring intently at Nanmen Yu. What had he just called his cousin? Nian Ru, did he have the right to call his cousin by her name?
Zheng Nianru was also slightly taken aback, surprised by the change in the man. The previous shyness and inferiority seemed to have vanished altogether. Zheng Nianru knew that it was not her sensitivity that was changing, but that something had indeed changed.
In the past, when she rejected Nanmen Yu, he returned to Nanmen State and took control of its power within less than three years, and Nanmen State’s strength had soared dramatically. These things didn’t happen overnight.
Nanny Yun also felt that today’s Nanmen Yu seemed different, but he had never before appeared so openly in Qishun Building. Even if he had something to attend to, he would let the eunuch at the door pass a message and wait outside.
Nanmen Yu had already stood up to leave, as if his only purpose in coming was for the medicinal powder he’d brought.
