The quick travel journey of the cold heroine

The only thing she owed Zheng Hong was the money she took from Zheng Hong when she left. She had already paid it back and also paid interest.

They had already settled things between them.

If Li Chuan had not been inseparable from Zheng Hong, she would not have paid any attention to Zheng Hong.

Because Zheng Hong is no different from Ying Wan'er, who takes human life lightly.

They are all big shots who look down on us little people and never take us, the little people, seriously.

In order to make Li Chuan help him better, he was willing to watch Li Chuan marry the enemy who killed his father and mother.

How can such a Zheng Hong be a good person?

When Shui Zhizi was about to fall down, the gift display session was finally over and the banquet could begin.

It’s not that Shui Zhizi is weak, it’s just that she is always moving when she works. Even when she is cooking in the kitchen, her legs move around.

But today was Shui Zhizi's first time attending such a banquet. Because she was afraid of making mistakes and offending someone she shouldn't offend, Shui Zhizi could only stand there still, which was really uncomfortable.

Another person who was also feeling uncomfortable standing was Qi Yu, who had been accompanying his father. As soon as King Rui asked everyone to take their seats, Qi Yu ran to Shui Zhizi.

Pull the water gardenia to your table.

Shui Zhizi sighed secretly and stopped Qi Yu.

People say Qi Yu is stupid and can't see the situation clearly. Qi Yu is as well behaved as possible in such a big scene and will never cause trouble for King Rui.

But if you say Qi Yu is smart, Qi Yu keeps pushing her, a commoner woman of unknown status, in front of people.

Qi Yu didn't even look at the people at his table, there were King Rui, King Zhan, two men and a woman whom Shui Zhizi didn't know at all.

But the person who could sit with King Rui and King Zhan must be of high status. How dare she, a person with no status at all, sit at the same table with these people?

It was already a headache for Prince Rui to deal with Shui Zhizi alone. Since her strength was not strong enough, Shui Zhizi didn't want to get to know other powerful people.

Shui Zhizi is so powerful that as long as she proposes to investigate the fire in the Li family, the government will have to punish the murderer even if he is Ying Wan'er.

So what Shui Zhizi needs to do now is to secretly accumulate strength and then strike hard.

Instead of being suddenly involved in the struggle for imperial power and not even knowing how he died.

But later Shui Zhizi discovered that in the face of power, no matter how rich she was, there were some things she could not change.

But at this moment, Shui Zhizi is still full of hope for revenge.

Sure enough, some people couldn't stand the fact that Shui Zhizi, a businessman, was so close to the Prince of Rui.

Shui Zhizi was about to tell Qi Yu that she would not go to that table when someone stopped her.

"Boss Shui is indeed a businessman. Even the birthday gift for the prince is full of businessman's flavor."

Shui Zhizi curled her lips and said, "Sir, you are right. I am just a money-grubbing businessman. It is not worth wasting your time."

There were few guests at the Rui Palace whom a small restaurant owner like her could afford to offend, so even though she knew that others were humiliating her, Shui Zhizi could only endure it.

But Qi Yu was obviously not someone who could tolerate others.

"Excuse me, what does the stuff you sent to the Rui Palace smell like when you smell so poor?"

"I also have a share in Boss Shui's Kangning Building. Since Master Guo is so sensitive to the smell of merchants, I would like to trouble Master Guo to leave, lest the merchant smell of the Rui Palace affects you."

The man who was so arrogant towards Shui Zhizi just now suddenly changed his expression.

"Your Highness is joking. I..."

"I never joke around with people I don't know well. Someone, please ask Mr. Guo to leave!"

As soon as Qi Yu finished speaking, someone came and carried him away.

Shui Zhizi was a little anxious. It might not be good for her to be so eye-catching for the first time she appeared in front of everyone.

"Shui Zhizi, you are a guest invited by my father himself. No one can openly humiliate you in this occasion today."

"You are from the Rui Palace, so you don't have to be so cautious." Qi Yu said solemnly to Shui Zhizi.

"I was the one who dragged you into this vortex. As long as I have the ability, I will definitely protect you."

Shui Zhizi opened her mouth slightly, as if she was meeting Qi Yu for the first time.

"Boss Shui, since Qi Yu can't get you to come, I will personally invite you to sit at this table. I wonder if Boss Shui can give me some face."

From beginning to end, King Rui didn't even glance at the person who had just been asked to leave.

On the contrary, he has always been gentle and polite to Shui Zhizi, and his respect for her is self-evident.

Since King Rui has spoken, Shui Zhizi naturally can no longer refuse.

There was only one seat left at the table except Qi Yu's, and next to Qi Yu's seat was King Rui, so Shui Zhizi had no choice of seat.

Even though she noticed that Zheng Hong was sitting next to her before she sat down.

"Boss Shui, I'm sure everyone has heard that the boss of Kangning Building and Mingyuan Hall is as capable as any man."

The people at the table all had their own thoughts when they heard Prince Rui introducing the younger generation.

King of War Zheng Hong looked at Shui Zhizi several times without any concealment.

"Boss Shui, this is the third princess of the Yan Dynasty. She heard that the boss of Kangning Building and Mingyuan Hall is a woman, so she kept clamoring to come and meet her."

As expected, they were not ordinary people. Shui Zhizi greeted them respectfully and was gently helped up by the third princess Zheng Qian.

“This is the War King, also the fifth prince of the Yan Dynasty. I heard that you seem to be old friends.”

Shui Zhizi almost bit her teeth. Is this already being used? Don't think she doesn't know that Prince Rui is the one that several princes of Yan Dynasty want to win over.

As long as they are useful, Zheng Hong can use them no matter who they are, right?

This time Shui Zhizi really wronged Zheng Hong. Although Zheng Hong was a person who knew how to make the most of everything he had, he was not a greedy person.

Zheng Hong knew very well that he could not use both Li Chuan and Shui Zhizi at the same time.

"Thank you, Lord Zhan, for your kindness in lending me several hundred taels of silver. However, I have already repaid you with interest."

The implication is that they have nothing to do with each other.

Everyone at the table naturally heard it, and the Third Princess laughed out loud. As expected of someone who could open Mingyuan Hall and Kangning Tower, she didn't even want the chance to establish a relationship with the famous War King.

A hint of disappointment flashed across King Rui's eyes, but no one saw it.

"This is Lord Zhao, the Minister of Revenue. He is also very curious about Boss Shui."

"This is Mr. Qian, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."

Shui Zhizi continued to greet the guests politely, but her heart was beating like a drum inside.

Two royal children, two of the highest officials in the Ministry of Revenue, sat together with her, an ordinary merchant, in full view of everyone.

Anyone who wants to be King Rui is paving the way for her.

But does King Rui really value her so much? Or does he just want to firmly pin the title of King Rui's Mansion on her?

The interest that the Rui Wang asked for was really high. She was afraid that she would have to work for the Rui Wang Mansion for the rest of her life.
