Rebirth: The flatterer prince I raised couldn't be so clingy

Zuo Lanxin's face turned pale in an instant. She was about to ask something when she suddenly felt Feng Zhanye pinch the back of her neck hard. Her eyelids drooped and she lost consciousness.

Feng Zhanye let Zuo Lanxin's body fall to the ground without even looking at her. He stood up, dusted off his clothes and opened the door.

"Gao Ye, find a few drunks and lock them up here with her, then let them go at night."

Gao Ye, who was standing at the door, was completely confused. He leaned over to look at Zuo Lanxin lying on the ground, and it was obvious that he had not figured out the situation yet.

"what?"

"Since she doesn't want her innocence, I'll let her have her wish."

Feng Zhanye's eyes were frighteningly sinister. Gu Qingzhi had never seen him like this before, so she said hastily, "Aye! Don't be impulsive. Now is not the time to quarrel."

Feng Zhanye's voice was even colder: "She was willing to destroy her own reputation in order to slander you. I didn't take her life, which was already a mercy."

"But if something happens to her here, it will affect the Gao Mansion."

Gu Qingzhi didn't want to let Zuo Lanxin go. Since Zuo Lanxin had made things difficult for her and bullied her in many ways, she naturally had thousands of ways to deal with her. However, this method must not only punish her, but also cannot affect the Gao family.

"Why not clean her up, give her some strong liquor, and throw her in the most conspicuous place in your house. The more people see her, the better. This way, she will lose face and become the laughing stock of the entire Kyoto in the next few days. She will have no time to slander me. The whole thing has nothing to do with the Gao family. How do you do this?"

She thought for a moment before taking the initiative to suggest, carefully observing the subtle changes in Feng Zhanye's expression.

Fortunately, what she had just said seemed to have worked. His eyes were no longer so scary, but he looked at her with deep confusion.

Seeing this, Gu Qingzhi, in order to comfort him, didn't care that there were outsiders present and walked straight towards him.

She gently grasped his wrist, turned around to block Gao Ye and the servant's view, slid her fingers down a few inches, and held his hand.

"Azhi, do you really think this is enough?"

Feng Zhanye finally compromised. He held her back, gritted his teeth, and chose to extinguish the fiercely burning fire in his heart.

Gu Qingzhi shook her head gently: "It's not enough, of course it's not enough. I will ask her to pay it back in the future."

Gao Ye was able to piece together what had happened from the fragments of their conversation. He looked at Gu Qingzhi with a little more appreciation. He nodded to her and said, "Thank you, Guard Gu, for thinking about my family."

Gao Ye ordered the servant to do as the two men wanted. The three of them talked for a while and learned that the Zuo Chengyu brothers had already left the table. Gu Qingzhi and Feng Zhanye also left the mansion.

Gu Qingzhi accompanied Feng Zhanye in the carriage on the return journey. Seeing that he didn't say a word, she thought that he was probably still thinking about what happened just now, so she tried to find a topic to help divert his attention.

She moved to Feng Zhanye's side and asked in a low voice: "Aye, did your meeting with Concubine De go smoothly today? What did you talk about?"

Seeing her actively caring about him, Feng Zhanye calmed down a little and said softly, "De Fei asked for my mother's tablet to be brought to the Marquis' Mansion, and promised to let me move in when I have a place to live in the future."

Gu Qingzhi nodded: "This is a good thing, and it is also the way Concubine De expresses her attitude to you. What else?"

Feng Zhanye continued, "I told her the cause of death of the Seventh Prince and my mother, and she promised to find out the truth about these two things after returning to the palace."

This is the key point. Only by getting rid of Zuo Xiang and his son can Feng Zhan Ye truly embark on the road to counterattack.

Hearing him say this, Gu Qingzhi breathed a sigh of relief. Now everything was finally moving in a good direction, and all their efforts were not in vain.

For her and Feng Zhanye, success was hard-won. Now their tense nerves can finally relax a little. From now on, they just need to live a peaceful life and wait for news from Concubine De.

Gu Qingzhi looked at Feng Zhanye and knew that the young man would inevitably feel uncomfortable when he mentioned the two things just now, so she gently put her arm around his shoulders and comforted him softly: "Are you tired today? Do you want to lean on my shoulder and rest for a while?"

Feng Zhanye felt a warmth surrounding him and finally relaxed. He did not reject her proposal, but tilted his head slightly and leaned on her shoulder.

"Sister Azhi, do you think I can really escape from the Xiangfu?"

He couldn't help asking.

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Qingzhi raised her hand and gently rubbed his hair, smiling affectionately.

"Aye, I have seen your forbearance, calm judgment, and ability to assess the situation over the past few days. You have made such great progress that I have to look at you with new eyes. So relax, and good results will come out."

The two of them stopped talking at the same time and just calmly enjoyed this moment of peace. The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the car window onto the brother and sister, with warmth and haziness.

Feng Zhanye glanced at Gu Qingzhi, only to see her gently closing her eyes, as if she was planning to take a rest as well.

He also followed her example and closed his eyes, trying to calm his thoughts.

However, the scene he saw when he broke into the house just now suddenly flashed through his mind.

He was suddenly startled and slightly frowned his furry eyebrows.

Even Sister Azhi has never been so intimate with him, so why should Zuo Lanxin do so?

In a trance, an inexplicable sour and urgent feeling emerged from his heart.

He suddenly thought of the past. This feeling... was a bit similar to when he saw Sister Azhi taking care of her younger brother, but it was a hundred times more unbearable than that time.

At that time, when Gu Fengping said that he was jealous, he didn't think so. But today, he felt that way.

It's jealousy, or perhaps even deeper than jealousy, it can even be called - envy.

He felt like he was walking alone in the dark, and Gu Qingzhi was like a warm lamp in his hand. Only by holding her tightly could he move forward in the pitch-black darkness.

He had a huge selfish desire, which was that he didn't want to share Sister Azhi with anyone, no one. The only person by Sister Azhi's side was him, and only him.

The young man felt a familiar yet unfamiliar throbbing in his heart again. He wanted to be closer to her, but it seemed that no matter how close he was, it would not be enough to make him feel at ease.

How can he monopolize this person who brings him warmth?

He reached out and gently put his arm around Gu Qingzhi's neck, then leaned closer to her.

Gu Qingzhi just felt that the child was becoming clingy again, so she hugged him again as usual and gently smoothed his hair.

Feng Zhanye closed his eyes, feeling as if a corner of the huge void in his heart was suddenly filled. This feeling was extremely good.

But this feeling was fleeting, leaving him somewhat unsatisfied.

The boy couldn't help but put his arms around Gu Qingzhi's neck and rubbed his face against hers affectionately.

"Don't rub it, it's itchy."

Gu Qingzhi chuckled, and the breath spraying on that fair neck made her involuntarily shrink her neck, but she only dodged for a moment.

She said nothing, but just accepted his intimate behavior naturally.

Feng Zhanye's heart trembled slightly, as if clamoring for joy that was difficult to conceal.

Happy and satisfied.

He felt the temperature of his breath gradually rise and raised his head slightly.

His hands tightened slightly with nervousness, and he buried his face deep into her neck, even his lips naturally touching her skin.

Gu Qingzhi might not have felt anything strange, but Feng Zhanye knew very well that he was crossing an invisible line. He was cautious in every move, following his heart to do what he wanted to do.

Even though she didn't know it, he was kissing her.

Different from the kiss on the birthday, this kiss was mixed with some unusual and indescribable emotions.
