After Being Kidnapped by the Crown Prince - Chapter 206
Chapter 206
(72.2)
Zhao Zhi quietly walked behind her, silently took the brush in her hand, and drew with a few strokes the outlines of a butterfly pattern, it looked lively and vivacious as if it was alive.
Ming Zhu’s thin lips pursed into a faint straight line. She felt a little annoyed, and an inexplicable anger leap up in her chest, but she couldn’t vent it out.
Zhao Zhi’s voice heavily fell down on her, “It’s done.”
Ming Zhu didn’t expect that the dignified and serious crown prince would be able to draw these kinds of toys.
She didn’t say anything.
She didn’t even want to hand this kite over to her daughter now.
Xiaoman was a bit overactive, she was sitting crookedly on the bamboo chair, trying to stand up.
Ming Zhu was afraid that she would fall and hurriedly held her, “Don’t move around.”
Xiaoman opened wide her black eyes full of water, “Mom, I want to fly it.”
Ming Zhu forced herself to smile, “Alright.”
Then she put the kite she had just made in Xiaoman’s hand, “Here, play with it.”
A two- or three-year-old child, of course, didn’t know how to fly a kite, she just held the paper kite firmly in her palms, and played with it haphazardly.
After playing for a while, the little girl got sleepy. She crawled onto Ming Zhu’s body, wrapped her arms around her mother’s neck, and fell asleep with her head buried in the familiar scent.
Ming Zhu carried her daughter into the room and covered her with the blanket before walking out of the bedroom.
She couldn’t guess what Zhao Zhi was planning to do, but it didn’t matter, he couldn’t stay in Yangzhou for the rest of his life, like she would.
Ming Zhu didn’t even serve Zhao Zhi a cup of tea, but the man didn’t mind.
He asked, “Is it just the three of you living here?”
Ming Zhu did not want to pay attention to him at all, and pretended to be deaf and dumb, absolutely unrestrained in showing her bad temper.
Zhao Zhi looked at the side of her face, and vaguely saw that she looked a little angry. More than two years had passed, but when she was angry, she didn’t look any different from before, and still didn’t pay attention to him.
Zhao Zhi’s tone was gentle and warm, and no anger nor joy could be heard from him, “Did Wei Chiyu already know from the start you were in Yangzhou?”
Ming Zhu could not control her emotions when she heard Wei Chiyu’s name from his mouth, and could no longer pretend to be mute, she dropped two stiff words, “No.”
Zhao Zhi asked her these questions just to go through her process, he had already investigated everything from the very beginning. The man suddenly reached out and gently held her chin, his eyes that saw through everything stared at her, and his face revealed a sneer, “What are you afraid of?”
His eyes were dark and icy, “You’re afraid that I will kill him?”
Ming Zhu held back from saying anything.
Zhao Zhi retracted his smile, “I won’t.”
Taking Wei Chiyu’s life was not a difficult task for him. But no matter how he thought about it, it was a losing deal. He didn’t kill him before, and he wouldn’t kill him in the future.
Ming Zhu lifted her eyes and asked him, “When are you going back to the capital?”
Zhao Zhi’s wrist tightened at once, squeezing her chin, “You don’t want to see me that much?”
Ming Zhu was not as timid as she used to be, her eyelashes fluttered lightly as she said, “Yes.”
Zhao Zhi slowly loosened his fingers and felt like a lump was in his throat.

Ming Zhu’s small courtyard was guarded by men in black with long swords on their waist, which attracted people’s eyes. The neighbors frequently took glances at them and talked among them in private, but no one dared to go near the courtyard where Ming Zhu lived.
Hong Ling wanted to drive away the cold-faced men in black, she cursed and swore at them, but they seemed to be deaf to everything.
Hong Ling had the guts to push them away, but a sword was immediately placed mercilessly against her neck, and the man in black coldly said, “The sword is merciless, it won’t be good if miss is hurt.”
Hong Ling still cherished this little life of hers, so she quickly went back to the house, almost crawling.
“Zhu Zhu, what should we do about those people at the door?”
“Let them be.”
“Are those people Xiaoman’s father has found to watch over you ah?”
Ming Zhu removed the buyao with swaying tassels from her bun, her long black hair spread loosely on her back, setting off her thin and fair little face. Looking at the person in the mirror, she hummed lowly.
It was not strange at all that Zhao Zhi would order people to watch her.
Hong Ling was shocked, “What is his identity in the end? I saw that even the people from the local government office were extremely polite when they saw him and stepped aside to let him pass.”
Ming Zhu smiled bitterly, she thought for a while, and then spit out five words: “Someone with sky-reaching power.”
Although Hong Ling wasn’t educated, she could understand the meaning of these words. She looked at Ming Zhu with worried eyes, and cautiously asked, “You’re going to go back with him?”
A man with sky-reaching power.
Domineering and ruthless, if he really wanted to do something, it was as easy as turning his palm over.
Hong Ling scolded Zhao Zhi several times in her heart. When she first came to Yangzhou, she felt that Ming Zhu was depressed all day, and it was difficult to make her laugh sincerely.
Later, the child was born.
And then later, she seemed to be less resistant to Lord Wei, and the smiles on her face increased a lot. It seemed that goods things were finally approaching, yet this dog man, not giving up, actually made his bloody way here.
Ming Zhu shook her head.
Hong Ling was uneasy, “He wouldn’t force you, right?”
