After Being Kidnapped by the Crown Prince - Chapter 210
Chapter 210
(73.4)
Ming Zhu didn’t want to listen at all.
Wei Chiyu held her hand, he stopped coughing and pursed his lips, “I’m not as good as you think I am, those few people, I did indeed kill them.”
“Zhang Qin recognized you, I was afraid that after his return to the capital, he was going to inform Zhao Zhi, so I ordered someone take his life.” Wei Chiyu clutched her fingers and lowered his face, “Don’t be afraid of me.”
There were some things that he had to do.
It was good to say it aloud, even if she became afraid of him.
Ming Zhu raised her head, opened her mouth, but before she could answer him, the man at the door was impatiently urging her, “Hurry up, the time is up.”
In the dark, Zhao Zhi quietly listened to the two people tell each other words from their hearts, and unexpectedly let out a laugh.
If he died, Ming Zhu might not necessarily be anxious like this, clutching his hands and refusing to let go of him, being so distressed her tears wouldn’t stop falling down.
When she smiled, it was for another man, and when she cried, it was also for another man.
Zhao Zhi turned around and walked out first, he was wearing white clothes, yet even standing in the sun, the entire person still looked cold, without any warmth. His back held such dignity, where neither joy nor anger could be distinguished.
When Ming Zhu came out of the cell, she was suddenly dragged by someone taking hold of her wrist.
Her face was still stained with the traces of undried tears, her wet eyes were brimming with bright colors, and she looked very pitiful. When she raised her eyes, she met a pair of dark, deep eyes.

Ming Zhu naturally didn’t show him a good face. Her expression was cold and she lowered her eyes, not looking at him. Her skin was so delicate that it could be easily wounded, so with a little force, the snow-white skin on her wrist was left with two conspicuous red marks of fingerprints.
Zhao Zhi’s hand used too much force just now, his knuckles turned faintly white, he contained himself, and removed his thumb, not touching her again.
Looking at her, he asked coldly, “Shouldn’t you be happy to see him? Why are you crying?”
Ming Zhu was angry and furious, she did not know how much of the situation just now he had seen, she clenched her fingers, “I’ll cry if I want to.”
Zhao Zhi disliked very much that she was crying tears for someone else, her eyes were all red because she had cried, the sound of her pitiful sobs were like a stab in his heart, hearing them, his felt a tight feeling in his chest and shortness of breath, it was very uncomfortable.
Most of the time, she cried without a sound, beautiful like rain falling on peach blossoms, so fragile it made people cherish her.
Zhao Zhi coldly looked at her red eyes, the harsh words he was going to say turned in circle in his mouth, but in the end, he didn’t say them.
Under the brightness of this spring day, Zhao Zhi smelled her faint apricot fragrance, as he asked: “You really like him so much?”
After asking those words, Zhao Zhi felt some regret, he should not have asked, he was probably not going to hear what he wanted to hear from her.
She couldn’t hide it either, yesterday she had told him with red eyes that she wanted to marry Wei Chiyu to be his wife, and it did not seem to be a lie that she was making up to vent her anger.
In those two years, if something really happened between them, he was too late to stop it.
Zhao Zhi clenched his fingers with force, raised his eyes and spoke before she could, “Get on the carriage.”
Now, Ming Zhu didn’t listen to him at all, so she refused without thinking about it.
Zhao Zhi pursed his lips, and just took her directly to the carriage without saying a word.
Ming Zhu would rather be exposed to the wind blowing outside the window, than looking at him.
Zhao Zhi sat down and served himself a cup of tea, “Wei Chiyu has deep schemes, he also completely destroyed all physical evidence and got rid of all witnesses, if you are worried about him, and crying for him, it’s a waste of tears.”
Ming Zhu said, “As an official, it’s impossible to stand firm without having some means.”
Zhao Zhi lifted the lid of the cup, sipped two mouthfuls of the bitter tea, and then the corners of the lips slightly curved up, into a smile that was somewhat of a sneer, “You’re good at absolving him.”
Ming Zhu faintly lowered her face and did not speak.
Not long after, the carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley.
Ming Zhu lifted her skirt and jumped out of the carriage. She almost fell down because she was too much in a hurry, Zhao Zhi supported her from behind, but she did not feel grateful for it.
In the courtyard, branches had new sprouts, the tender green branches were dotted with several splashes of color.
Zhao Zhi followed her into the house, Ming Zhu was unable to drive him away, so she treated him like air, not paying him attention nor looking at him.
Xiaoman had not seen her mother since she got up in the morning, so she started to make a scene since very early in the day. Hong Ling couldn’t calm her down even with candies, so she was really exhausted, she really had never seen such a clingy child!
Could it be that Ming Zhu was also clingy like this as a child? She really could not picture it.
