She was too lazy to clean up after dressing up as a villain heroine

Now the Marquis's wife is just being cautious and wants to preserve her good reputation.

Using a maid's son to disguise him as the legitimate son, killing the mother and snatching the child away, this is not a glorious thing. The Marquis's wife has always had a high reputation among the noble ladies because of Wei Yunzhi's excellence. If such a thing were to be exposed, not only would her own reputation be ruined, but her son and daughter would also be implicated.

Therefore, the two sides can still maintain a delicate balance.

At this moment, if Wei Yunzhi could marry a good wife and pass the imperial examination, the balance would tilt in his favor.

He is nineteen years old this year and is old enough to get married.

The imperial examination will be held the year after next.

Qiao Zhenzhen stared into his eyes. The two looked at each other and found something unusual in each other's eyes.

Wei Yunzhi saw the exploration, while Qiao Zhenzhen saw the determination to win.

Her heart skipped a beat and the hairs on Qiao Zhenzhen's back suddenly stood up. Could it be that he hasn't given up on Mo Yuying yet?

What tricks are you trying to use to stop this arranged marriage?

Her mind was in turmoil, and in just a few seconds, Qiao Zhenzhen thought of many ways to sabotage the arranged marriage.

Let her reputation be ruined, no, this is impossible. If Wei Yunzhi still wants to marry her to increase his own status, he will not use such a method that is not good for everyone. If she loses her reputation, she will be at a disadvantage when facing the Marquis' wife.

Let Han Zheng get into a romantic dispute?

But this was an arranged marriage, and a little bit of romantic dispute could not change the fact of the arranged marriage, unless he felt that he could make Mo Yuying very unhappy and insisted on asking his father to arrange the marriage.

Qiao Zhenzhen would never do such a thing, but in Wei Yunzhi's imagination, maybe Mo Yuying would do it.

Furthermore, the most risky method is to let Han Zheng die.

Qiao Zhenzhen frowned slightly. It was not an easy task to kill someone like Han Zheng, who had great martial arts skills and a strong background.

But just because it’s not easy doesn’t mean it’s impossible.

"What is Miss Mo thinking about?" Wei Yunzhi suddenly asked.

Qiao Zhenzhen collected her thoughts and said, "I was thinking about what Master Wei said about the word destiny."

"Really? What did you think of?"

"I remember that we met at the Lantern Festival three years ago. I didn't know your identity at that time." Qiao Zhenzhen sighed, "When I found out later, you were already engaged to An Ning."

"Later, during the Spring Banquet, I fell into the water and the prince saved my life. His Majesty granted us marriage because of this."

Wei Yunzhi listened to her quietly without saying a word.

"At that time, I didn't want to do it, and I believe the prince felt the same way." Qiao Zhenzhen smiled, "Later, no one would have thought that An Ning would be favored by the Second Prince, and that you two would cancel your engagement and let An Ning enter the Second Prince's mansion."

"This is fate." Wei Yun said.

Qiao Zhenzhen shook her head, "That's your fate. My fate is that the prince and I, two unrelated people, were brought together by an unexpected event. We didn't like each other at first, but... it should be said that God's arrangements always have His reasons." She laughed and sighed, "People will miss many people in their lifetime. I missed you, you missed An Ning, and the prince missed An Ning. Missing each other means that our fate is not deep, and there is really no need to persist. There must be better arrangements waiting for us in the future."

This was the first time that Qiao Zhenzhen told Wei Yunzhi bluntly, I liked you before, but we were not destined to be together.

The depths of Wei Yunzhi's dark eyes were extremely dark, and the smile gradually disappeared from his face.

"Since Miss Mo said it was a mistake, why can't you make things right?"

Qiao Zhenzhen suddenly smiled playfully, "Of course, people change. Just like Master Wei, he used to like An Ning very much, but now he calmly watches her marry into the Second Prince's mansion. It's the same for me. I can talk to you here calmly. Master Wei is such a smart person, he must understand, right?"

"If there hadn't been this arranged marriage..."

Wei Yun was interrupted by Qiao Zhenzhen before he could finish his words.

"It doesn't matter if there is none. Once a heart changes, it changes. A changed heart can never go back. The prince treats me very well. He has saved my life several times and even tried his best to meet some of my unreasonable requests."

She sighed with joy. "Just like Master Wei said, if the prince likes someone, he will do his best to treat that person well. That person used to be An Ning, but unfortunately she didn't cherish him. She wanted everything and got nothing in the end. I'm different."

Qiao Zhenzhen's eyes were curved when she smiled, and in Wei Yunzhi's eyes, her whole body was glowing.

"When you love someone, you must love him/her wholeheartedly and without hesitation. Moreover, the relationship between the prince and I is aboveboard, and we will be married in a formal way in the future."

She was still very bold, but this time the target of her boldness was Han Qichen.

Wei Yunzhi felt a little jealous.

What's so good about Han Qichen? He's just a military man.

She used to love his literary talent, his calligraphy and his paintings. Could it be that a person's heart could really change so completely?

"Miss Mo, are you so sure that Brother Han Shi's heart will not change again? In my opinion, he is a person who changes very quickly."

"He changes so quickly, that's naturally because I'm too charming. There are only a few women like me in the world." Qiao Zhenzhen said shamelessly, rolling her eyes upwards, "Unlike some people who don't know how to appreciate, the prince is different. He is a man with clear eyes and a bright mind. After seeing through certain illusions, he naturally won't let his true heart be ruined by others."

She meant this with a double meaning.

Wei Yunzhi was choked, but he also felt that Mo Yuying's character was really interesting.

It's so lively that people can't help but get closer to it. Unlike him, he pretends to be gentle on the surface, but is actually a gloomy pool of stagnant water.

"I was blind and didn't see Miss Mo's true heart."

Qiao Zhenzhen waved her hand nonchalantly, "What's past is past. I have already chosen the prince. Even if someone comes out to sabotage me, I will not change my mind."

These words seemed to have a hidden meaning, but Wei Yunzhi was not sure whether they were directed at him.

After all, his image in front of people has always been harmless.

He couldn't help but say, "If the prince changes his mind again, would you mind?"

"Why did he change his heart? Where is he going to find a woman better than me?" Qiao Zhenzhen asked back.

"Good or bad is just a matter of one thought." Wei Yunzhi said, "I don't mean to say that Miss Mo is bad."

"The marriage between the prince and I was arranged by His Majesty. I believe that if he is clear-headed, he will not think about those unnecessary things."

Even if it was just pretending and acting, Qiao Zhenzhen couldn't quite say that Han Zheng would never change his mind. It was not easy to say things carelessly. Sometimes when you say something will definitely happen, God will just play a joke on you and let that happen.

Wei Yunzhi lowered his eyes, "What if Brother Han Shi... has an accident?"

He said the last word "accident" lightly.

But Qiao Zhenzhen heard it clearly.

Her heart began to beat wildly, but she remained calm.
