Disguised as a man: Watch me create a new dynasty
Chapter 187 Working together
She walked carefully, avoiding the patrolling guards along the way.
The night in the Marquis' Mansion was exceptionally quiet, with only the occasional sound of footsteps and the whispers of patrolling guards.
Su Zhenzhen's heart was in her throat and she was shaking with nervousness, but she knew that she could not retreat.
Finally, she successfully reached the back door of the mansion. Perhaps because the master of the mansion was giving a big reward to the whole mansion tonight, the maid on duty also went to receive the reward.
Looking at the empty and unguarded back door, Su Zhenzhen snorted with disdain. The guards of the Marquis' Mansion were certainly not for show, but she was the Marquis's cousin after all, and she knew the times for the guards to change shifts.
Su Zhenzhen calmly opened the back door and walked out.
She glanced back at the bright light coming through the crack in the door, feeling a mixture of emotions welling up in her heart.
This was where she used to live, but now she had to flee.
Su Zhenzhen turned and walked towards the alley, her steps firm and resolute.
From now on, I will never come back.
From now on, I will completely belong to the Third Prince.
She has no way out!
Thinking of the backup plan she had left in the study in the Marquis' Mansion, Su Zhenzhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She knew that her and the Third Prince's plan was halfway successful.
Su Zhenzhen stumbled all the way, her heart feeling both nervous and full of anticipation.
As long as he successfully becomes the third prince's man, he can sit on the supreme throne!
By then, she will repay them for all the grievances she has suffered!
The night wind was a little cool, blowing on her tired face, making her a little more awake.
Her steps were weak, and every step felt like she was stepping on cotton, but she still walked firmly towards the direction of the Third Prince's Palace.
Finally, she arrived at the back door of the Third Prince's Mansion.
She raised her slightly trembling hand and knocked gently on the door.
The knocks on the door seemed particularly clear in the silent night, as if every knock was hitting her heart.
After a while, there was a slight noise from the back door and a maid opened the door.
When the old woman saw Su Zhenzhen, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by enthusiasm.
"It's Miss Su, come in quickly."
The old woman warmly welcomed Su Zhenzhen in, and her level of proficiency was such that it seemed as if she was used to it.
Su Zhenzhen breathed a sigh of relief and followed the old woman into the house.
At the same time, the third prince was in the study.
The study is located in a quiet place in the mansion, away from the hustle and bustle, and offers a unique tranquility.
As you step into the study, an ancient atmosphere hits you.
The carved bookshelf was made of precious sandalwood, exuding a faint fragrance. It was filled with various books, including classics, history, and military strategies. The gold-plated fonts on the spines of the books flickered slightly in the candlelight.
There is an exquisite inkstone on the desk, which is carved from delicate Duan stone.
The brush next to it is hanging on the pen holder. The brush hairs are slender and soft, as if waiting for the owner to write another magnificent chapter.
There are several paintings and calligraphy hanging on the wall, some of which are vigorous and powerful calligraphy works, with majestic and magnificent strokes.
Some are landscape paintings with profound artistic conception, green mountains, clear waters, and shrouded clouds and mist, making people feel as if they are in a fairyland.
A pot of Clivia in front of the window is blooming quietly, its green leaves are upright and full of vitality, its flowers are gorgeous and exude a light fragrance.
But the third prince was not in a good mood at this time.
In the afternoon, my grandfather sent a message saying that Su Zhenzhen was not the cousin of the Xie family as rumored.
It was just that Old Madam Xie rescued the child while she was out burning incense. Seeing that the child was pitiful and had nowhere to go, she adopted her into the Marquis's mansion.
This news made the third prince fall into deep thought.
He and Su Zhenzhen have teamed up to plant a trump card in the Marquis' Mansion. If he turns against her because of her identity at this time, his plan will probably be ruined.
It was with great difficulty that he managed to open a gap in the impregnable Marquis' Mansion with the help of Su Zhenzhen.
If Su Zhenzhen wasn't there...
The third prince paced back and forth in the study, thinking about various countermeasures in his mind.
No, we still have to calm her down first.
At this critical moment, the entire plan cannot be ruined by a small identity issue.
He must calm down and find a proper solution.
Just as I was thinking about how to deal with the aftermath, I heard a servant outside saying that Miss Su was coming.
When the Third Prince heard this, his heart moved slightly, and then a complex emotion surged up in him.
It's really disrespectful for a girl to go out alone in the dead of night.
He has never looked down upon such women.
But when he thought of Su Zhenzhen's former identity as the cousin of the Marquis's mansion, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
If she were still that beloved cousin, I might have a different kind of doting thought towards her.
After all, she was elegant, noble, well-educated and well-mannered back then, completely different from her current reckless appearance.
But now, her identity has changed, how should I treat her?
The third prince frowned, feeling very conflicted.
"Let her in." The third prince's voice was indifferent, as if he was not the one who was anxiously worried about how to calm Su Zhenzhen.
When Su Zhenzhen walked into the study, the Third Prince's face instantly turned gloomy.
"Su Zhenzhen, you are really capable."
The Third Prince said coldly, "You have been hiding this from me. You are not the cousin of the Marquis' Mansion at all."
Su Zhenzhen's heart tightened, but she forced herself to remain calm and said, "Your Highness, Third Prince, I never deliberately concealed it, but I only found out about it later."
"Hmph, you only found out later? Then why didn't you tell me earlier? Now our plan is in jeopardy because of your identity." The third prince glared at her.
"Your Highness the Third Prince, I am loyal to you and have never thought of betraying you. Although I am not the cousin of the Marquis's Mansion, I have also paid a lot for our plan." Su Zhenzhen defended.
"Pay? You are lying! If it weren't for my grandfather sending me the news, I would still be kept in the dark. How can I trust you again?" The third prince was furious.
"Your Highness the Third Prince, you cannot deny everything I do just because of my identity. Our plan can still go on, and I will work harder to help you achieve your goal." Su Zhenzhen said anxiously.
No, she cannot lose the protection of the Third Prince, she must successfully stay in the Third Prince’s Mansion!
"That's enough! How much can I trust in your words? From now on, you'd better tell me everything honestly, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless."
The third prince turned around and no longer looked at Su Zhenzhen.
Su Zhenzhen bit her lip, a trace of grievance and helplessness flashed in her eyes. She knew that the Third Prince was very angry at the moment, and no matter what she said, it would be difficult to calm his anger.
I must let him know the value of his existence and make him accept myself again.
Thinking of this, Su Zhenzhen looked up at the Third Prince and said seriously, "Your Highness, if I say that I left evidence in the Marquis' Mansion that can completely bring down the Marquis' Mansion, would you believe it?"
