Chapter 365 - 350 Second Update
Zheng Nianru glanced at Zheng Boding, hoping it was something urgent.
"Starting from today, you mustn’t leave the mansion rashly. Moreover, Father will station two officers from the Fire Order Squad at our Prince Duan’s Mansion. In short, from today onwards, do not meet Zong Yunqian again," the Crown Prince said urgently.
Zheng Nianru was slightly taken aback; the Crown Prince’s words carried an immense amount of information, rapidly bringing up three issues, each of which she disliked, especially allowing members of the Fire Order Squad into Prince Duan’s Mansion.
In her life, she had no desire whatsoever to get involved with Ju Nanyi, and now the Fire Order Squad was under his command.
Prince Duan seized Zheng Nianru’s hand with an expression of extreme regret.
"It’s all Father’s fault, listening to the sweet nothings from the Zong Sheng Aristocratic Family without realizing that both Zong Yunqian and the Duke of Qing have no good intentions, utterly shameless," Prince Duan said angrily.
Zheng Nianru was momentarily stunned again; something was amiss. Was this what Zong Yunqian referred to as the upcoming plan? Wasn’t it too soon? Wasn’t the agreement to wait until after the marriage before finding a chance for separation? It was the best outcome they had agreed upon after several encounters.
Did Zong Yunqian change his mind halfway?
"Father, what exactly happened?" Zheng Nianru couldn’t believe that Zong Yunqian would run into trouble, especially at this time.
Although Zheng Nianru had no idea what Zong Yunqian was planning, it had to be significant. Accustomed to the posture of those in power, Zheng Nianru could easily recognize that Zong Yunqian’s actions were just like the former Ju Nanyi’s, like Zheng Congyuan’s. But since Qiandao Temple had nothing to do with her, Zheng Nianru couldn’t be bothered to think about it.
"Nianru, there’s something wrong with Zong Yunqian." Prince Duan looked at his daughter, sorrowing over her unfortunate life – having first suffered tribulations within the palace, she had barely left it only to encounter such an unreliable fiancé.
