Lu Jingning pointed to the distant suburban forest and said, "This is not the place to talk. Let's go there. You have fallen to such a state now. I have nothing to plot against you. The reason I told you is only because of our past friendship."

After saying that, she let go of her hand and the carriage continued to move forward.

Zhao Sui hesitated for a moment and followed.

It was a lush bamboo forest and late at night. From time to time, gurgling sounds could be heard, adding a bit of eeriness to the silence.

In the moonlight, Lu Jingning turned his head and looked at Zhao Sui: "I have known for a long time that Mo Yunyao is the sixth prince of Northern Qi. How dare I contact him? The Zhao family is just being used as a sacrifice. In order to protect myself, I can only break off the engagement with you."

In order to make Zhao Sui believe his words, Lu Jingning softened his tone and became as humble as before.

Zhao Sui's anger was gradually aroused: "Who is the person behind the scenes? Why did he frame my Suguo Mansion?"

These days, the Zhao family has been having a very hard time.

Not only did the Zhao family become deserted and no one came to visit them, but even the common people avoided them as if they were a plague.

Zhao Sui had really had enough.

"Zhao Lang." Lu Jingning suppressed his nausea and called out Zhao Lang, his eyes full of love again: "For you, I can kill my relatives for the sake of justice and let everyone know that the Zhao family was wronged. I am a princess, the only daughter of the prince. As long as I am willing to help you, you can definitely make the Zhao family turn things around, and then no one will dare to look down on you."

Zhao Sui's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to ask, "What's going on?"

He just wanted to know why Lu Jingning suddenly gave up on him.

It turned out to be forced.

"It's all because of my uncle Shangguan Si." Lu Jingning sniffed. "A few months ago, I accidentally heard my uncle and Mo Yunyao meet in private. He even addressed the other as His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince. Mo Yunyao also promised that when he ascends to the throne in the future, he will definitely make Sister Lang the Queen and that the two families will forever be friends with Nanliang. Prince Shen is plotting to take my father's position as the Crown Prince. He said a lot..."

Lu Jingning choked up: "I was so scared at the time, and I even saw Mo Yunyao and Sister Lang hugging each other."

"What?" Zhao Sui's eyes were filled with anger. Lang'er had clearly said that she would not marry anyone else in this life.

"Zhao Lang, Sister Lang and Mo Yunyao often had affairs in the Shangguan Mansion and never took you seriously. I was so angry that I reported it to the authorities, but I never thought that one wrong step would lead to another. I watched the Zhao family end up in this situation. I am really heartbroken."

After hearing Lu Jingning's words, Zhao Sui took a deep breath and clenched his fists. "You are so mean, Mo Yunyao. I helped you come to Nanliang, but you actually turned your kindness into enmity!"

Lu Jingning sneered in his heart when he heard this. It turned out that these three people had known each other for a long time.

"Zhao Lang, I heard that sister Lang's marriage to Shangguan Yunzheng tomorrow is just a cover. In fact, she will stay in Shangguan Mansion and be in love with Mo Yunyao."

"Isn't Mo Yunyao imprisoned in prison?" Zhao Sui asked half-doubtfully.

Lu Jingning sneered, "Mo Yunyao is hiding in Shangguan Mansion, not in the prison at all. I don't know who used some method to get him out. I treated the people in Shangguan Mansion as my relatives, but they dared to betray the East Palace."

She took a step forward when she was excited and said, "Zhao Lang, these people are all ungrateful. If you are willing to help the East Palace, my father will definitely not forget your contribution when he comes back. With my father here, who can take the throne? If my father takes the throne, these people will all be your prisoners!"

Perhaps he was moved by the temptation thrown by Lu Jingning, Zhao Sui gritted his teeth and decided that he just had to continue to coax Lu Jingning and climb up the big tree of the prince.

In the future, all these people will be trampled under my feet.

Zhao Sui took a deep breath and looked at Lu Jingning affectionately: "Aning, it was all my fault in the past. I shouldn't have believed others and hurt you. From now on, you are the only one in my heart."

These words almost made Lu Jingning sick. She took a step back and looked at Zhao Sui warily: "Zhao Lang, are you still thinking about Sister Lang?"

"nonsense."

"Then prove it to me. At the wedding banquet at the Shangguan Mansion tomorrow, I want you to reveal Sister Lang's true identity. Otherwise, I won't dare to speak for you in front of my father easily." Lu Jingning said.

After a moment of hesitation, Zhao Sui thought about Miss Lang's cold-bloodedness today, and gritted his teeth: "Okay!"

"Okay, then I'll wait for Zhao Lang's sincerity tomorrow." After Lu Jingning finished speaking, he went to the carriage and waved at Zhao Sui.

Zhao Sui stayed where he was, smiling as if relieved, with a vicious look in his eyes: "Shangguan Si, Mo Yunyao, Lu Jinglang! How dare you betray me? Tomorrow, I will make you lose face!"

The next day

The Shangguan Mansion held a wedding banquet. In order to make up for the old lady’s previous birthday banquet, Shangguan Si specially held it in a grand manner.

The door was opened and it was announced that everyone coming in was a guest and could sit down and eat.

For a time, the Shangguan Mansion was crowded with people and very lively.

While waiting for the bride and groom to appear together, Zhao Sui walked in from outside the door wearing mourning clothes, shouting that the superior government had bad intentions and was hiding spies.

As soon as these words were spoken, the excitement instantly cooled down and everyone looked at Zhao Sui.

"Mr. Zhao, are you here to cause trouble?" Shangguan Si's face darkened, looking down upon the other party's desperate attempt.

Zhao Sui pointed at Shangguan Si and said, "Sir Shangguan, I am here to congratulate you today. I don't think you would be unwelcome, would you?"

Shangguan Si frowned and winked at the butler, who understood and came forward with two servants: "Mr. Zhao, you are welcome to the banquet. Please come this way."

But since Zhao Sui came here to cause trouble, how could he leave so easily? He stretched out his hand and pushed the servant away, his eyes passed from Shangguan Si to Miss Lang who was covered with a red veil.
