Chapter 222 Second Update
Prince Duan got on the carriage, and as soon as it started moving, he couldn’t wait to ask.
"Nian Ru, what does this letter you sent mean? Did Zong Yunqian say something to you?" Zheng Boding thought of this possibility, and it must be so, otherwise, how would Nian Ru know about this lad coming to Prince Duan’s Mansion to ask for her hand in marriage?
Thinking of that lad daring to meet Nian Ru in secret, Prince Duan felt like tearing this scoundrel apart immediately.
"Father, is Heir Zong not good?" Zheng Nianru tilted her head, her gaze clear and puzzled, "He saved me at Siyan Lake, claiming he would take responsibility."
Prince Duan looked at his daughter, her gaze so clear and watery that he couldn’t doubt it. But he was no longer the naive young man he once was, having lived through those years.
For a moment he felt the illusion of "as deep as shallow streams," pure and clean, yet there was a sense of backlash...
Prince Duan couldn’t explain it, yet didn’t want to think in that direction.
So, did Nian Ru simply think this was a matter of taking responsibility?
A girl’s thoughts, if Heir Zong saved Nian Ru once more, if he were just a man with an ordinary family background, Prince Duan might consider this possibility.
Zheng Nianru looked at Prince Duan, quickly sensing his sensitivity, and knowing that no one knew her like her father, she added another sentence.
"Father, he said, if I’m willing, he can rescue me from the Imperial Palace." Zheng Nianru lowered her head, a bit at a loss, as if she had done something wrong, "Father, I was wrong, I will not interact with him anymore."
