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

"I didn't say it was the second prince." Qiao Zhenzhen blinked and said, "At most, it was someone who had some relationship with him, and whose interests conflicted with mine."

This can't be said to be a hint, it's an explicit statement.

"You mean... the eldest princess? The virtuous concubine?"

They had talked about it before when they were at the hunting ground, but Han Zheng didn't quite believe it.

Concubine Zhang is an old lady who has lived in His Majesty's residence.

But if one has lived in the deep palace for a long time and built up such a large behind-the-scenes power, it is impossible not to leave any clues.

Her family background was not prominent, and without help, it would be an impossible task.

"Did Your Majesty hand over the matter of the autumn hunt to the Dali Temple for investigation?"

Qiao Zhenzhen didn't say yes or no, because she had no evidence, and it was hard to believe her just based on her own words.

"Ah."

"Do you have any clues?"

Han Zheng shook his head.

Sure enough, the enemy forces still have an aura.

To her, the enemy is the protagonist. In most exciting stories, it is difficult for the enemy to find evidence of the protagonist's actions. Instead, the protagonist will be exposed if the enemy does something "bad".

Now, a dozen men in black appeared in the royal hunting grounds, and they were able to clean up the mess so cleanly.

Even if the emperor ordered a thorough investigation, he was able to avoid being caught.

This also shows that the plot has not yet come to an end.

"No, Your Majesty is a little annoyed by this."

Being provoked right under your nose is not only annoying, but also uneasy.

Qiao Zhenzhen poured herself another glass of wine: "Don't worry, we were not prepared before, but now everyone is alert. If the other party wants to do something again, they will definitely reveal their flaws."

Han Zheng sighed, "That's the only way."

Then I thought, "He came here just to talk to you about this?"

"What else?" Qiao Zhenzhen rolled her eyes at him and put the wine into her mouth.

"He does care about you." Han Zheng stared at her face, which was as beautiful as a peach blossom. "When we met before, I didn't realize that you two were so familiar with each other."

Well, the topic is back.

"A little jealousy can make people happy, but if you act unreasonably, it will really hurt feelings." Qiao Zhenzhen put down the cup and gently licked the remaining sweetness on her lips with her pink tongue.

Han Zheng choked.

Watching her movements, he endured for a while, but finally couldn't help but lean over, grabbed the back of her neck with one hand, covered her with his lips, and parted her teeth to chase after the flexible and naughty little tongue.

Qiao Zhenzhen cooperated by slightly raising her chin.

After kissing more often, Han Zheng's kissing skills have improved from being immature to being skilled.

Very lovable.

After a while, he ended the kiss, "Very sweet."

I don't know if he was talking about the wine or the kiss.

For Han Zheng, this matter basically means it’s over.

But Qiao Zhenzhen didn't give up, "Did someone file a complaint with you?"

Han Zheng didn't hide anything: "It's Rong Ge'er."

"I'm free." Qiao Zhenzhen said coldly.

Han Zheng: "He heard some rumors outside."

Because Xie Qianzhong came to the Duke's Mansion, Qiao Zhenzhen has been quite busy recently. Add to that Wei Yunzhi's involvement, and she can't say she's living in fear, but she's always a little uneasy.

So I couldn't spare the time to discipline the people in the second house for the time being.

I don’t know whether Han Rong heard it by accident or someone let him hear it by accident.

But these things are really hard to guard against.

Even if Han Rong is not here this time, there will be someone else.

The ultimate goal is to get the news to Han Zheng's ears.

If it was really designed by Wei Yunzhi, it can only be regarded as a minor matter.

It’s just that human nature cannot stand the test. If this kind of thing is talked about too much, it will inevitably affect the relationship between husband and wife.

Besides, due to Han Zheng's identity as the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion, his superb martial arts skills, and the aura of the male protagonist, it is impossible for Wei Yunzhi to kill him with just one move. He can even cover up the follow-up of the incident very well.

Unless it is confirmed that Han Zheng is going to rebel...

That's why Qiao Zhenzhen is not very worried about Han Zheng's life safety.

But it is also quite disgusting to only focus on such private and dirty matters as the relationship between men and women.

"I will be careful in the future and won't spread rumors that make you unhappy," said Qiao Zhenzhen.

Han Zheng held her hand, stroking it and said, "I'm not doubting you, it's just..."

Qiao Zhenzhen tilted her head, said nothing, and waited for him to finish speaking.

Han Zheng suddenly felt embarrassed, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on his usually stern face. "...I do mind."

Her ears turned red at the same time. They weren't that red when she kissed her just now.

Qiao Zhenzhen was stunned, "..." and didn't know how to respond.

Han Zheng, the successor of a large family, has always been reserved in his emotions.

Unlike her, the environment in which she grew up expresses her feelings more directly. She would say "I love you" if they like you, and break up with them if they don't.

As for Han Zheng, since they met, he never seemed to have said that he liked her, or more deeply, that he loved her.

What is said most is to protect, take care of, and treat you well.

It is entirely a husband's responsibility to his wife.

Putting love aside, Han Zheng saved her life several times, and Qiao Zhenzhen was grateful to him in her heart, but when it comes to love... it seems like something is missing.

She is a person who wraps her heart so tightly, but she also understands that responsibility alone cannot truly move her.

She needs someone to love her very much.

He also had to tell her again and again, tirelessly, that he loved her.

But it is obviously difficult for a man with Han Zheng's personality to do so.

When the two got married, Qiao Zhenzhen prepared herself mentally early on. Don't argue about unnecessary things. Since the man is willing to promise to be the only one in the marriage, don't ask for too much.

However, human desires are constantly evolving.

Who doesn’t long to have someone who loves him/her very much?

She is like this, and Han Zheng...maybe so too.

Qiao Zhenzhen suddenly rushed over and hugged him, leaned close to his ear, and whispered softly: "Brother, I love you——"

After saying that, she kissed his sexy Adam's apple.

Han Zheng's body stiffened, a little bit unbelieving what he heard.

She was always very naughty, and often used an ambiguous voice to sweetly and flirtatiously call him "Brother Qichen". Every time she did this, he would get goose bumps and then ask her to speak properly.

She would just laugh it off.

But in the most private and intimate moments, she would occasionally call him "brother."

Han Zheng really liked her calling him that.

There is a unique satisfaction.

Even he himself can't explain it clearly.

Hearing her say "love", Han Zheng felt his whole body getting hot.

The big hand pinched her slender and soft waist, like a storm, bringing her into the torrent of desire.

Han Zheng seemed particularly excited this time, making it difficult for Qiao Zhenzhen to resist. At first, she could still yell at him to "slow down..." or "no more...".

Until the end, when the sun had completely set, only tiny moans could escape from her mouth, and the tears from the corners of her eyes were licked and kissed away by the man, who seemed to have taken medicine.

The man whispered in her ear, "Call me brother..."

"Brother..." Qiao Zhenzhen was already in a trance.

"Zhen'er, brother loves you..." His voice was low and hoarse, and he looked extremely sexy when he said "I love you".
