The quick travel journey of the cold heroine

Chapter 121: A Commoner Woman's Revenge on the Powerful (29)

"In reply to your Highness, I absolutely do not hate you. It is just that my status is low and I am not capable of dealing with the troubles that would come with being associated with you."

Yes, I hate it. I hate Zheng Hong's arrogance. I hate people like him who always put profit first.

But he was also grateful. He was grateful that Zheng Hong made Ying Wan'er believe that all the people in the Li family were dead. This way, his elder brother and sister-in-law were safe, and he had the opportunity to take revenge.

With such complicated emotions, Shui Zhizi just wanted to stay as far away from Zheng Hong as possible.

"I understand. From now on, I will not appear in front of Boss Shui unless it is necessary."

It's time to stay away from Shui Zhizi, otherwise I'll get deeper and deeper into trouble and it won't be good for anyone.

After saying this, Zheng Hong left.

For some reason, Shui Zhizi saw determination in Zheng Hong's back. Shui Zhizi thought that she and Zheng Hong would never meet again in this life.

As a result, the next day Shui Zhizi still heard the rumor that the wife of the Minister of War was thrown into a pond, soaked for a long time, and was injured.

Shui Zhizi took several deep breaths before she calmed down.

Shui Zhizi could only tell herself that it didn't matter, since she and Ying Wan'er were destined to fight to the death anyway, the worst that could happen was that she would have to be prepared to deal with any means from now on.

But after a long time, Shui Zhizi's eyes were still blazing with fire. She should have told Zheng Hong the truth yesterday.

She should tell Zheng Hong that she just hated him, very much.

Since Shui Zhizi came to Beijing, whenever she had the chance

I have been asking about Ying Wan'er.

Although Shui Zhizi was not sure whether the information she had obtained was reliable, one thing everyone said was that most of the generals of the Yan Dynasty were behind Ying Wan'er.

That's why Shui Zhizi worked so hard to do business and agreed to cooperate with King Rui, because only in this way would Shui Zhizi have the confidence to fight against the people behind Ying Wan'er.

It is also because of this that Shui Zhizi has always been very cautious towards Ying Wan'er.

Because Shui Zhizi knew very well that for someone like Ying Wan'er who had a powerful backer, if she couldn't kill her with one blow, there would be endless troubles.

But Zheng Hong's doing this now would undoubtedly make her, who was unsure of herself, confront Ying Wan'er head-on in advance.

Last night, Zheng Hong already understood why Shui Zhizi didn't let her take action against Ying Wan'er, but he still took action against Ying Wan'er without hesitation.

The first reason was that Zheng Hong felt that since he would be distancing himself from Shui Zhizi in the future, revenge for Shui Zhizi would be the last thing he would do for her.

So Zheng Hong not only touched Ying Wan'er, he also reported the prince to the authorities, causing him to be placed under house arrest.

The second reason is that Zheng Hong knows that Ying Wan'er is a bully who only bullies the weak and fears the strong. If Shui Zhizi really has no reaction this time, Ying Wan'er will be even more fearless next time.

He personally took action against Ying Wan'er and warned her. With Ying Wan'er's temper, she would definitely not dare to do anything to Shui Zhizi again.

But in the end, Shui Zhizi guessed right. Ying Wan'er didn't dare to do anything to Zheng Hong, but that didn't mean Ying Wan'er would let Shui Zhizi go.

Because Ying Wan'er also knew very well that Zheng Hong did everything for his own benefit.

Just like Zheng Hongming knew that Li Chuan had amnesia problems, but because of her, the surviving daughter of a general who guards the country, she could help Li Chuan gain a foothold in the court and rise to prominence.

So even if Zheng Hong was angry and said harsh words to her, he still helped her to settle the matter in the end and even deceived Li Chuan with her.

Ying Wan'er felt that the reason why Zheng Hong stood up for Shui Zhizi was because Shui Zhizi was King Rui's man, and it was obviously also for personal gain.

Ying Wan'er also knew that she could not bring any benefits to Zheng Hong, so Zheng Hong did not hesitate when he attacked her?

But she cannot but represent the generals who used to follow her father, and Zheng Hong has also been trying to gain the support of those generals.

Ying Wan'er didn't believe that those generals would directly attack Shui Zhizi, and Zheng Hong would still choose to protect Shui Zhizi.

Ying Wan'er is not smart enough, but she has always known that the generals who followed her father in the past are her greatest confidence.

The day after Ying Wan'er was injured, those generals sent people to Li's house to see Ying Wan'er one after another. Ying Wan'er naturally would not miss this opportunity.

So on the third day after Ying Wan'er was injured, the name Shui Zhizi once again appeared in the ears of the dignitaries in the capital, and this time the name was spread from the court.

Shui Zhizi, the owner of Kangning Tower, relied on his own money to boldly attack the orphans of loyal officials. This is what one of the generals said in the court.

King Rui was shocked when he heard this. First, he was shocked that someone would publicly sue an ordinary businessman like Shui Zhizi in the court.

Secondly, I was shocked at how irrational the words of the person who made the complaint were. Of course, besides being shocked, I felt more relieved.

Fortunately, he was able to deal with it because the person who complained made no sense.

"Are you kidding, General Wang? It's hard for Shui Zhizi, a businessman, to even meet Madam Li. How could she have the chance to attack Madam Li?"

"What relationship could Madam Li have with Shui Zhizi? Why would Shui Zhizi risk being beheaded to attack the orphan of a loyal minister?"

"And may I ask, General Wang, when did Boss Shui attack Madam Li? And how did he do it?"

King Rui asked several questions in a row, which made General Wang blush. But not every general was bad at speaking.

Some of the people brought up by General Ying are as brave and resourceful as King Rui.

"I've heard for a long time that Prince Rui has a close relationship with Mr. Shui from Kangning Building. Today I see that it's true. The emperor hasn't said anything yet, but Prince Rui has become aggressive first."

Prince Rui sneered and said, "Your Majesty, I told you this on the day when I met Boss Shui. You also said that Boss Shui has a kind heart and told me to do what I want to do and not to worry too much.

Boss Shui is just a businessman with little influence. He probably doesn't even know that his name has appeared in the court.

In this court, no one knows Mr. Shui except me, and no one speaks for him. If I don’t speak for him today, I’m afraid he will be killed by these generals.”

Prince Rui spoke one sentence after another, not giving others a chance to interrupt, showing his protective character to the fullest.

But no one dared to interrupt at this time, because Prince Rui’s first sentence said that the emperor knew Shui Zhizi, and the emperor praised Shui Zhizi.

Even the prince, who was about to give a push, silently withdrew his outstretched hand.

"Why don't you say anything?" An obviously weak voice came from the highest point in the court, without any anger in it.

"Your Majesty, I have finished speaking." Prince Rui had no guilt at all.

"It seems that King Rui really approves of this Shui Zhizi. How about letting King Rui investigate the matter that the generals complained about today?"
