Although Zhao's words were biased, her fearful look made Ah Man feel distressed.
After all, he is just a poor person who worries about his children.
She was about to call for help when Murong Kai, who was standing beside her, spoke up, "The princess just said that you are also an elder from now on. As an elder, please leave."
Murong Kai's other meaning was, don't be disrespectful to your elders and don't lose control of your mouth for the sake of your son.
Zhao's panicked heart finally got a moment's respite. She looked up at Ah Man. After the joy of escaping the calamity, she was still unwilling to give up and wanted to fight for it again.
"Princess, you saved my son's life from Princess Jinxiu many years ago. Since then, he has..."
As soon as Zhao said that, Ah Man remembered that many years ago at the palace banquet, she did ask Su Jinxiu for a beaten man, but she had forgotten that the man was Zhen Junran.
However, it was just a piece of cake at that time, and after that, the two of them had no relationship anymore.
"Mrs. Zhao, that's his business. It has nothing to do with me."
Ah Man spoke distantly. She had forgotten all the previous interactions between her and Zhen Junran. After that, they didn't even have any interactions at all. Indeed, it had nothing to do with her anymore.
"Princess Jiaoyang, you..."
"Madam, the princess saved your son's life many years ago. We didn't wait for your family to repay the favor, but instead waited for a group of assassins. With that incident as a precedent, our princess dared not lend a helping hand again. Who knows what will be waiting for our princess if she helps him again this time."
Murong Kai found out the reason for the so-called deep love, and he was naturally unhappy in his heart. Even though he knew that this might just be a piece of cake for Ah Man, he still felt very uncomfortable in his heart.
So the words he said were even more merciless, and he almost said ungratefulness.
"We, we..." Zhao wanted to explain further, but she looked up at Ah Man, who was looking sideways at Murong Kai who was full of indignation. Zhao glanced at Murong Kai and lowered her head. Although he was just a little eunuch beside Princess Jiaoyang, he had a very strong aura. Just the look in his eyes on her made her dare not say another word.
"If there is nothing else, Madam Zhao should go back first. The Emperor has already granted the marriage an imperial decree. If you don't prepare for the wedding well, it would be disobeying the Emperor's order. Then..."
Murong Kai said this with a smile, but there was a chill in his words. Zhao Shi was already horrified when she heard it.
She had come here with all her hopes, but she didn't expect that this would be the result in the end.
Thinking that Nanny Zhang beside Concubine Zhu was still waiting to go back home with her, Zhao was filled with despair.
In the midst of the despair weighing heavily on her heart, her mind suddenly became clear. If she had only asked the princess to help her cancel the engagement, it should have worked, right? But she just…
It's too late to regret.
“Princess…” Zhao was still unwilling and wanted to say more, but Murong Kai had already waved his hand, signaling the people around him to drive her away.
Looking at Zhao's staggering back, Ah Man couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She saw how humble Zhao was. For Zhen Junran, his mother had tried her best.
In addition to envy and jealousy, Ah Man felt a wave of bitterness in his heart. If his mother were still alive, she would definitely not let him work so hard. However, that was only if, his mother would never come back.
What Ah Man didn't know was that her expression at the moment was all seen by Murong Kai. When her tears were about to fall, Murong Kai hugged her tightly and said softly, "If you think Zhen Junran is good, I can withdraw and make your wish come true."
Ah Man forgot the bitterness in his heart after hearing this incoherent sentence. He just stood there in a daze. It seemed like he had never provoked him before, so why did he quit
