The queen is spoiling the king and madly criticizing him for spoiling her

"Since you trust him so much, then wait until he passes the exam, or wait until he works hard and is no longer so penniless, then you can marry him and it will be the same." Lord Rong was so angry that his face turned blue and he tried to regulate his breathing.

"Master Rong has actually come around. But how can someone who only wants to live off others work hard? If he can't put in enough effort, he'll just give up."

Gu Geng's expression darkened. He looked at Rong Zhi with reluctance and said regretfully, "Miss Rong, since your father doesn't agree, let's forget about this matter. I don't want my actions to affect the relationship between you two. Miss Rong, it's my great honor to have met you. Since we can't be lovers in this life, I hope we can meet again in the next life and become lovers."

Hearing this, Rong Zhi's eyes instantly turned red.

[This is the first time I've seen such a strong tea smell on a boy. How could the naive Rong Zhi be capable of such a person's tactics?]

"Shut up now. If you really want to let go, just go away quietly. It's better than anything else to let Rong Zhi not see you." Lord Rong slapped his sleeve in Gu Geng's face, and he couldn't stop feeling annoyed with Gu Geng.

"Dad, how could you treat Gu Lang like this? If Gu Lang didn't really like me, how could he say such a thing? Dad, I want to marry Gu Lang not for her money or how high an official she can become in the future, but for Gu Lang himself. Gu Lang is really good to me. Not only does he often write me love letters, he also buys me cakes and even cooks soup for me with his own hands. This is something no other man has ever done for me." Rong Zhihu stood in front of Gu Geng and met Lord Rong's eyes with an expression of being ready to die.

Lord Rong was once again so angry at his daughter that his heart ached. He raised his hand high, but when he saw his daughter's stubborn eyes, the raised hand never fell on Rong Zhi's face, but slowly put it down.

This love-sick girl is hopeless. She always writes two copies of her love letters, one to Rong Zhi and the other to another wealthy lady. She also specifically asks scholars to write the letters, not herself.

"Being nice to you is useless. Does that mean Lord Rong isn't nice to you? When you were sick as a kid, Lord Rong was the one who cooked soup and took care of you without even taking off his clothes. As for buying cakes, that's even more insignificant. He only bought two, and they were leftover cakes from the store that were on sale. You can't say they weren't tasty, you can only say they were completely broken into pieces. Every time Gu Geng gave them to them quietly, he'd say he was holding them against his chest to prevent them from getting cold, and he didn't expect them to break. Those two young ladies were completely fooled by this rhetoric. Are you asking them to eat cakes, or to eat the smell of your sweat? You really don't mind being disgusting."

[I'm not after money or fame, I'm after his willingness to live off me, his reluctance to shower, and his being a playboy.]

Gu Geng is truly disgusting, specifically deceiving these secluded ladies. These secluded ladies are filled with yearning for love, and a single love letter can easily coax them into a frenzy.

[Good fellow, before coming to see Rong Zhi, Gu Geng had just met another wealthy young lady. Gu Geng was still carrying the gold hairpins, rouge, powder, and some jewelry he had stolen from the wealthy young lady. The reason was that he had almost spent all his money trying to please the two young ladies, so he stole some things to exchange for money and continue to deceive people.]

Gu Geng also had a number of love letters on him, as well as a bag of broken cakes.

Lord Rong pointed at Rong Zhi and said in a tone of regret, "What kind of drug did he use on you to make you think that if he treats you well, he can spend his whole life with you? He treats you well now just to get you. What about the future? What will you do if he doesn't treat you well anymore? And can his kindness be regarded as food? Have you ever thought about the daily necessities of life? You have never experienced a hard day, but you think that as long as a man treats you well, you can live."

Lord Rong scolded me well.

[If this young lady, who has never touched women, were to be deceived by this bastard, I wonder how miserable her future would be.]

Just as Rong Zhi was about to open his mouth to refute, Xie Ci'an coughed lightly. Rong Zhi and Lord Rong then realized that the emperor and empress were also there and this was not their back garden. Lord Rong knelt down in panic.

"Lord Rong, let's save your romantic affairs for when we leave the palace. Now, let's talk about the sneaky behavior of these two people in the palace."

As soon as Xie Ci'an's voice came out, Lord Rong nodded hurriedly, "Your Majesty is right."

"It's all my fault for not educating my daughter well, which is why she attracted this little thief. Your Majesty, this man has stolen jewelry from my family before. Lord Dou, the Minister of the Dali Temple, can testify for me on all these matters. At that time, these things were brought to Lord Dou's attention." Lord Rong looked at Gu Geng with uncontrollable disgust.

Since he couldn't educate Rong Zhi, he had no choice but to suppress this Gu Geng. Once this happened, even if he was shameless, he wouldn't be able to stay with Rong Zhi and harm her.

"Dad, don't talk nonsense. When has Gu Geng ever stolen anything from our house? I was the one who gave it to Gu Geng last time. It was also the emperor who wrote a letter to ask Gu Geng to come to the palace this time. Gu Geng did not enter the palace, but has been staying outside. I, the servant Dou, can testify to this." Rong Zhi hurriedly defended Gu Geng.

The previous time, she was locked up in the yard by her father and had no way to defend Gu Geng.

The emperor is no longer in the Dali Temple. Once the charges are proven, Gu Geng’s life may be at stake.

"Shut up. No one will think you're dumb if you say less." Lord Rong couldn't help but scold.

Upon hearing this, Gu Geng quickly retorted, "Your Majesty is wise. It was Miss Rong who wanted to elope with me, so she ran away with a large amount of jewels from the palace. I didn't steal them. I explained to Your Majesty at the time, but Your Majesty refused to listen and insisted that I stole them. I am truly innocent."

"Do you have any evidence to prove that it was not stolen?" Lord Rong could not help but feel annoyed with Gu Geng.

Xie Ci'an slammed the table, and the three people who were about to quarrel were frightened into silence. They didn't dare to say a single extra word, and just looked quietly at the emperor sitting on the throne.

"Whether there was any theft or not, we'll know if we investigate." Xie Ci'an looked at Wen Zhu who was standing beside him.

Wen Zhu immediately understood what he meant and stepped forward. After a search, she found a lot of jewelry, gold hairpins and rouge for girls, several letters and a bag of snacks on Gu Geng.

Wen Zhu put these things on a tray and brought it to the people.

Lord Rong burst out laughing. "So much rouge, powder, gold hairpins, and jewelry, and you still say you didn't steal anything."
