The Cousin Is About to Marry，The Abstinent Young Lord Loses Control-Chapter 79: Waiting for Ji Mingzhu to Change Her Mind

Chapter 79: Chapter 79: Waiting for Ji Mingzhu to Change Her Mind

The words have already been spoken, it’s evident that Yuan Changan hasn’t deceived her.

Moreover, he’s well aware of his limits, and won’t help Ruan Mian without conditions.

Ji Mingzhu told herself, let it be.

At least he’s sincere enough, and respects her enough.

If one day they face unhappiness and want to part ways, they can part amicably.

Yuan Changan is different from Xie Yunzhen.

He won’t cling stubbornly, much less doing what a rogue would do.

Ji Mingzhu’s health improved, so the Yuan Family sent a letter to the capital, seeking Mrs. Guan’s opinion, ready to proceed with the engagement formalities.

The letter hasn’t been delivered yet, but Xie Yunzhen returned to the capital first.

Originally, the old lady and the Commandery Princess were happily going out to greet him, but were unexpectedly shocked into fright.

The carriage stopped at the gate of Duke Mansion.

The noble man walked down the steps step by step, his face calm and unperturbed, but his aura was enough to freeze a person.

Everyone present was stunned.

Is this, is this still the Young Master they remembered?

Seeing him with shaved head, an expression devoid of sadness or joy, desires or demands.

The old lady shouted in surprise, "Ah Zhen!"

Her breath stuck in her chest, then she rolled her eyes and fainted straight away.

The maidservants and old women serving were aghast, some went to call a doctor, others hurriedly carried the old lady back inside the mansion.

Xie Yunzhen’s mere appearance stirred a great commotion, now it was utter chaos.

Princess An He also felt dizzy, only supported by an old woman did she not collapse in fear.

Ignoring the situation of her mother-in-law, she hurried to Xie Yunzhen, her eyes full of worry and distress.

"Ah Zhen, what’s happened to you?"

If not for his brocade robe, she would have thought that Ah Zhen went to be a monk!

The body and hair inherited from his parents, who on earth shaved Ah Zhen’s head?

It’s truly vicious!

Xie Yunzhen’s tone was aloof, "Nothing."

"Then your hair..."

"Didn’t want it, so I shaved it."

This story wouldn’t even convince a three-year-old child.

Princess An He was on the verge of madness, "Was it Ji Mingzhu’s doing?"

Though she hadn’t witnessed it, Princess An He had this intuition.

The culprit must be Ji Mingzhu!

Besides her, who else could fascinate Ah Zhen to such an extent?

She, a fallen woman, dared to harm Ah Zhen like this.

Murderous intent flashed in Princess An He’s eyes, she had regretted not sending someone to end her earlier!

But she feared if something happened to Ji Mingzhu, her son would do something even crazier.

Last time, he stabbed himself.

That bloody scene was still vividly imprinted in her mind.

Even though she hated Ji Mingzhu to the bone, Princess An He dared not act recklessly.

She only had one son, if lost, how would she live on?

Having been brazen for half a lifetime, it was the first time Princess An He realized how humiliating it is to have one’s weak spot held by others!

She looked towards the direction of the carriage, glancing around.

Coldly she asked, "Where’s the person?"

"Who?"

"You know who I mean!"

Ah Zhen personally went to Yangzhou to find her, would Ji Mingzhu give up the chance to rise higher?

Surely she came back to the capital with Ah Zhen.

If not at Duke Mansion, then settled somewhere outside.

Even if her life can’t be taken, she should be brought before them to be berated.

She must know that a penniless orphaned girl has no right to be capricious.

She made Ah Zhen shave his head, then she will repay in kind!

Even though he decided to let go, mentioning Ji Mingzhu, Xie Yunzhen’s heart still ached.

No one knew how many times he wanted to turn back halfway to Yangzhou and snatch Ji Mingzhu back.

But he was afraid.

Afraid to touch her cold body again, no matter how he called, couldn’t wake her.

That kind of experience happened once, and he was terrified.

He squeezed his fingers tightly to suppress the overwhelming longing.

The farther he was from her, the more he missed her.

Missed her to the point of madness.

Xie Yunzhen’s heart felt hollow, for the rest of his life, he didn’t know how to live.

Stepping towards the mansion.

Without getting a response, Princess An He quickly caught up, "I’m asking you, is this how you treat your elders?"

Xie Yunzhen’s eyebrows slightly frowned, "Since you despise her, why pretend to care about her whereabouts?"

Princess An He almost choked.

"She, a fallen woman, should I elevate her?"

Xie Yunzhen sneered, "She doesn’t need your elevation."

His steps paused slightly, his voice colder, "Even if you beg to elevate her, she wouldn’t accept it."

Ji Mingzhu doesn’t want him.

Everything in Duke Mansion, she looks down on.

At this moment, Xie Yunzhen fervently wished Ji Mingzhu was a woman who covets wealth.

Then he could use riches to coax her back to his side.

Unfortunately, she wasn’t.

In his past life, Ji Mingzhu genuinely loved him, and he ruined it all.

Xie Yunzhen’s nature is aloof, but he’d never spoken to an elder like this before.

The more he behaved like this, the more Princess An He loathed Ji Mingzhu.

Fortunately, Ji Mingzhu wasn’t her daughter-in-law, otherwise as a mother, would she have any standing in Ah Zhen’s heart?

Plainly she asked, "Did she return to the capital or not?" 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Xie Yunzhen wore a gloomy expression, a pain he tried to hide but couldn’t conceal.

"No, she won’t return."

In those dark eyes, traces of tears seemed to flash.

Princess An He froze in place, Ah Zhen... is he crying?

A belly full of words stuck inside, unable to be spoken.

Princess An He was stunned.

It’s merely a woman, why is he grieving to such an extent?

Her gaze once again fell upon Xie Yunzhen’s head.

Is he thinking of becoming a monk?

No matter if this guess is true or not, Princess An He dared not continue this topic.

Fearing inadvertently provoking her son, and he’d directly go to the monastery.

Forcing a smile, "You’ve traveled so far, you should be tired, quickly go rest in your courtyard..."

Not listening to the end, Xie Yunzhen turned away and left.

However, he didn’t return to his own courtyard, but went to Xiao Xiang Courtyard.

There still bore traces of Ji Mingzhu having lived.

It’s among the few things she left him, he must carefully treasure it.

Even at this moment, Xie Yunzhen still held hope in his heart.

Maybe someday, Ji Mingzhu would return.

After all, nothing was definite yet, everything was possible.

All he needed to do is wait.

Wait until Ji Mingzhu needs him, and returns to his side.

Before reaching Xiao Xiang Courtyard, he saw a young servant standing on the roof, busily removing the tiles.

Xie Yunzhen’s face turned sour, and he hastened over, "What are you doing!"

The young servant reported, "Commandery Princess ordered to convert Xiao Xiang Courtyard into a treehouse and plant a plum grove around it, planning a plum blossom feast here in winter."

Xie Yunzhen appeared flustered, disregarding the chaotic surroundings of the courtyard, he quickly walked inside.

The furniture used by Ji Mingzhu seemed to be moved elsewhere, the room was empty, nothing left.

Even the few trees in the courtyard were moved away, leaving only large pits.

Instantly he was furious.

He just had this little bit of hope.

Why would they still want to take it away?

"Three days, if it’s not restored to its original state, I want your heads!"
