The prince is very cruel

She had wanted to commit suicide by taking pills to avoid being tortured in the capital, but she didn't expect that she would be taken away suddenly.

Not only was she not abused, she was even taken to Ling County and provided with good food and drink along the way, even though she was a member of the Zheng family.

"why?"

After a long while, she calmed down a little and asked.

Guan Ning smiled, came to her side and said, "Because I want to protect you."

"Protect me?" Roland said disdainfully, his eyes filled with misery and despair.

"Do you know what crime Zheng is facing? Not only you, even Prince Ping wouldn't dare to intervene."

"What's your guarantee?"

Guan Ning calmly said: "If I say yes, then yes."

Roland was stunned for a moment. This was not the first time she had heard this. Guan Ning had said it before, and as a result, the head of the family and his wife were really overthrown, and they were the first to be liquidated.

Some hope gradually appeared in her eyes.

"How do you protect it?"

"You don't have to worry about this. I have my own way, but there is no free lunch in the world. I also have conditions." Guan Ning went straight to the point and was very calm.

Hearing this, Roland paused, hesitated for a moment, bit his lip, and took off his coat on his own initiative.

"Do what you want to do."

Although her eyes were a little embarrassed, they were more of a calmness, or even a reality. The only person she could rely on and cling to now was Guan Ning. After all, the Zheng family was a thing of the past.

Wow...

As her coat slipped off, large areas of skin on her shoulders and wrists were exposed. Although she was already over thirty, she was well maintained, her skin as delicate and smooth as a little girl, and the fullness under her collarbone revealed the charm of a mature woman.

Because it was cold, she couldn't help but take a deep breath and shivered.

Guan Ning's heart skipped a beat. He could now completely possess Roland and even make him his own canary.

But he didn't. Instead, he suddenly bent down, picked up her clothes, and put them back on her.

Roland was bewildered: "You..."

"I'm certainly not a saint, and I do like beautiful women, but the condition I'm talking about isn't asking you to sleep with me." Guan Ning said with a smile.

Roland was embarrassed. Did he misunderstand?

She grabbed her clothes, covered her chest, and bit her lip: "What are your conditions?"

Guan Ning turned around, afraid to take one more look, but he really couldn't help it. After all, everyone has evil thoughts.

"After the Zheng family collapses, what will be left behind will be countless wealth. Most of that wealth will be taken away by the court, but there are some things that the court cannot take away."

"I hope you can take over some of Zheng's businesses."

Roland was completely stunned when he heard this.

"How is that possible... The Zheng family has been shut down. Even if the imperial court can't take away those things, they will most likely be divided up by other noble families."

"Although I understand Zheng's business, I'm penniless and have no help. How can I take over?"

For Roland at this moment, this was nothing but a foolish dream.

Guan Ning turned around and said seriously: "Don't worry about this, I will fully support you."

"In a very short time, I will transform you from a prisoner into a meritorious official who has made a good report. You will no longer be a threat to the court. Then, I will help you recruit those skilled and skilled workers of the Zheng family in the name of post-war cleanup."

"As for the internal business of the Zheng family, whether it's people or things, you should know more than anyone else."

"You just have to take over."

"As for those local forces that want to swallow up the Zheng family's assets, there will definitely be some. On the surface, I will ask Prince Ping and Sima Yuan to help look after you."

"Secretly, I will also provide you with the power to protect yourself."

"The rest depends on you. I hope you won't let me down." He spoke fluently, as if he had thought it through long ago.

Everything, no matter how big or small, was arranged for Roland. His steady and confident demeanor shocked Roland.

The whole room was silent for more than ten breaths.

"You, who are you?" Roland asked involuntarily, his beautiful eyes filled with extreme curiosity.

The young man whom she once looked down upon is now a mysterious existence, as if he is omnipotent and omnipresent.

"You don't need to know. Just follow my instructions. As long as you listen to me, I promise that your life will be wonderful, even more wonderful than when you were Madam Zheng."

"How is it?" Guan Ning looked over.
