Chapter 46: The Lady Has Arrived

Especially those ladies and young misses, who had been laughing at Yunzhi just a few days ago, now saw her as someone they couldn’t reach.

The Regent Princess, someone even the Emperor had to show respect to, they would have to bow to her whenever they met in the future.

Just thinking about it made them feel stifled.

In terms of family background and talent and beauty, which one of them wasn’t better than Yunzhi? Therefore, they were unconvinced about her becoming the Regent Princess.

Being unconvinced, naturally they had to cause trouble. Thus, some young misses secretly pondered how to get rid of Yunzhi.

Only if Yunzhi died would there be a chance for the position of Regent Princess to fall on their heads.

Yunzhi didn’t know that some people, out of jealousy, were already plotting to kill her. She and Dongli Lucang walked to the entrance of the Hou Mansion, looking at the hand still holding hers, Yunzhi smiled and asked, “Your Highness, how long do you plan to hold on?”

Yunzhi’s words were meant to remind Dongli Lucang to let go. But unexpectedly, Dongli Lucang not only didn’t let go, but instead looked at Yunzhi with a serious expression and said, “Zhizhi, I intend to hold your hand for a lifetime, I don’t know if you’re willing to give me this chance?”

Yunzhi fell silent, looking at Dongli Lucang’s eyes filled with hidden longing, she didn’t answer.

Because she didn’t want to deceive Dongli Lucang, at least for now, she didn’t want to get married, didn’t want to marry anyone. She didn’t want to be bound, especially not bound in that deep mansion compound.

Seeing Yunzhi not answering, Dongli Lucang felt a little disappointed, and slowly released her hand.

He knew he was being a little too eager. But who could blame him, Yunzhi was the woman he had been thinking about for so long? Before he found her, there was no chance, so be it. Now that the opportunity was finally in front of him, he couldn’t wait to marry Yunzhi right away.

“Your Highness, I still have something to do, I’ll take my leave first.” Yunzhi glanced at the disappointed Dongli Lucang and said with a smile.

Actually, seeing his disappointed look, she also felt a little uncomfortable. Not to mention anything else, just taking today’s effort of Dongli Lucang coming to protect her, he was a man worthy of entrusting her life to.

But unfortunately, she didn’t have any thoughts of marriage now, and she didn’t want to fall in love for the time being, so she could only apologize to him.

“Alright, then be careful on your way. I’ll come see you again when I have time.” Dongli Lucang nodded and watched as Yunzhi got into the carriage.

After Yunzhi’s carriage had gone far, he then left with his subordinates.

In the carriage, Rumei and Rulan looked at their mistress and asked in a low voice, “Miss, why are you so cold to the Prince? He will be your husband in the future, what if he gets angry with you like this?”

“What do you mean what happens? It’s none of my business.” Yunzhi shrugged indifferently. She knew Dongli Lucang was a smart man, he should understand what she meant.

She just hoped this marriage could be smoothly dissolved.

However, what Yunzhi didn’t know was that Dongli Lucang never thought about dissolving the marriage. The reason he didn’t force Yunzhi was simply to give her time to adapt.

The three of them returned home, Yunzhi was a little hungry, so she asked Rumei to bring some food.

Just as they were eating, the gatekeeper came to report, “Miss, Mrs. Xu is here.”

“Why is she here?” Yunzhi frowned, her face showing some displeasure. She didn’t want to deal with anyone from the Yun family at all, even if it was her mother.

Without guessing, she also knew that Xu came here for no good. Either she was scheming against her, or she wanted something.
