The male protagonist has no descendants! Don't worry, the host is pregnant with many children

Chapter 491: The Heartless Regent King vs. the Scheming Princess 36

Without giving it time to think, he quickly lowered his head and placed his hands on the ground, "Your humble servant accepts my order."

Lu Zhihuan saw that everyone had knelt down, and she wondered...should she kneel down too.

Before she could make any move.

Xie Zhao's voice came again, "You don't have to kneel."

The courtyard was quiet again.

Tuying then began to read the imperial edict:

—By the Providence of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims:

It is now discovered that Lin Zhizhong, the Junior Secretary of the Honglu Temple, after achieving top spot in the imperial examination three years ago, disregarded their long-standing friendship, broke their engagement with their adopted child bride, and sought a higher-ranking wife. This act of betrayal is a true disgrace to the scholar community.

Her mother was even more cruel and ruthless. She did not appreciate the years of service of her child bride and sold her to a brothel, bringing shame to her.

Such evil deeds are a disgrace to the Holy Dynasty, and I am deeply angry. I will strip you of your position as Junior Secretary of the Honglu Temple, confiscate all your property, and exile you a thousand miles away, with no right of return to the capital.

His mother was a poor parent and cruel, so she sold him into slavery to atone for her crime.

I hope that all the people in the world will take this as a warning, uphold the moral principles, and not repeat the same mistake.

Admire this!

At this moment, Lin Zhizhong felt as if he was struck by lightning, cold sweat dripped down his face, and his face was as pale as paper.

He raised his head and looked at Lu Zhihuan again, his eyes full of disbelief.

She had accompanied him in studying hard for more than ten years, so how could she not know his hardships.

Three years in office was like walking on thin ice. I spent so much effort trying to please my superiors and make friends with my colleagues, but in the end, it was all in vain.

He collapsed to the ground, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

Upon hearing the tragic news, Yu Zhizhi went berserk and roared at Lu Zhihuan, "You did this on purpose. You just can't stand seeing us doing well. We were so affectionate just now, are you jealous? You're so cruel! I'm going to fight you."

As he said that, he stood up and rushed over!

Xie Zhao subconsciously blocked Lu Zhihuan behind him.

"Someone, stop her," Yu's father shouted. "Shut her mouth."

The maids and servants quickly stepped forward, grabbed Yu Zhizhi, and covered her mouth.

Madam Yu looked at Yu Zhizhi, feeling somewhat disappointed. "Look at you, you're disheveled and yelling. How can you behave like that? Hurry up and take the young lady away and lock her up in the ancestral hall."

The Yu family's reputation has fallen to the ground, and now they can no longer ignore her.

Lu Zhihuan curled the corners of his mouth sarcastically. Face is so important. Alas, it's a waste of time to save face.

I can't figure it out!

Before Xie Zhao could raise his voice, Yu Hongjie hurriedly saluted and said, "Please rest assured, Your Highness. I will also punish my daughter severely to correct the family tradition."

Tuying had Lin Zhizhong taken away.

Yu Hongjie was soaked all over. He was sweating all over in such a cold weather.

He bent down and gestured for invitation, "It's cold here, Your Highness, please enter the main hall."

"No."

Xie Zhao put his hands behind his back and looked at the people beside him, "Can we go now?"

Lu Zhihuan smiled sincerely this time, and two cute dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth, one deep and one shallow.

"Ah, here I come, here I come, it's okay, it's okay." Xuancao just went back to pack up.

The Yu family was stunned. Father Yu asked doubtfully, "What...what is this?"

He looked at Lu Zhihuan, "Zhihuan! What do you mean?"

Yu's mother stepped forward with tears in her eyes and tried to hold Lu Zhihuan back, but the Regent was in the way.

She could only hesitantly say: "Zhihuan, this is your home, wuwu... where are you going? wuwu..."

Old Madam Yu leaned on a cane and looked at Lu Zhihuan with hope. It was obvious that this girl had caught the Regent's eye.

Seeing that her daughter-in-law was just crying, she hurriedly said earnestly, "Zhihuan, a woman needs someone to rely on after all. You finally came back, how can you just leave like that?"

If you encounter difficulties in the future and there is no one around to help you, what will you do? "

She looked up at the Regent again and spoke carefully, "Your Highness, you are wise and intelligent. After all, the Yu family is her bloodline. You will never let anyone look down on her, right?"

“Old Madam Yu…!”

The person who spoke was Lu Zhihuan, who walked out from behind Xie Zhao.

Sen Han's eyes swept over the Yu family members one by one, and he spoke with sarcasm, "Blood relatives?"

Her gaze was like a sharp blade, piercing Yu's mother directly. She demanded word by word, "Will you let me endure the pain in my heart and reconcile with the daughter of my enemy, my blood relative?"

Yu's mother's eyes were full of panic. She turned away and didn't dare to look her in the eye.

Then, she looked at Yu's father and said, "You knew that Lin Zhizhong and his mother sold me into a brothel and hurt me so deeply, but you wanted me to marry your blood relative with such people just to save face?"

Yu's father's body trembled slightly, his lips trembling. He wanted to explain but didn't know where to start. His face was full of embarrassment and guilt.

Finally, she slowly looked at Madam Yu again, "I've already proven my innocence, but you still have to humiliate my blood relative in such an insulting way?"

Old Madam Yu's body swayed slightly, and she subconsciously clenched the cane in her hand. She was speechless.

With every word she spoke, the Yu family members' faces turned paler.

"You keep saying you sympathize with me for my past experiences, but you always take things for granted and then let them go. You've never really done anything for me. How can you call this a blood relationship?

If you were ordinary people and unable to do anything for me, I would have nothing to say."

Lu Zhihuan closed his eyes, and his sad expression struck Xie Zhao's heart.

She let out a long sigh before saying, "So, it's better not to have family members like you!"

She looked at Xie Zhao and said, "Let's go."

Xie Zhao nodded.

Yu's mother couldn't stop her tears from falling, "Zhi Huan..."

Yu's father grabbed his wife and shook his head.

Old Madam Yu also looked dazed, staring ahead with empty eyes, as if she had lost all her strength.

Xie Zhao was the first to step onto the carriage, then turned around and extended his hand to Lu Zhihuan.

She tilted her head slightly, met his gaze, and placed her small hand in his palm.

Xie Zhao held the cold little hand, frowned, and pulled the person up with force.

His strength was so great that Lu Zhihuan couldn't stand steadily after being pulled onto the carriage and fell directly into his arms.

Qingxin fell into his arms, and Xie Zhao took the opportunity to hug her slender waist. In a split second, Lu Zhihuan sat steadily in the carriage.

Warmth instantly enveloped my whole body, my feet felt soft, and a thick velvet carpet covered the bottom of the carriage.

The aroma of tea is wafting in the air, and there are exquisite heaters hanging around the walls of the car. This is such a damn enjoyable experience.

With a light shout from the coachman, the carriage moved slowly. The teacup was steady and not a drop of tea spilled.

"like?"

Lu Zhihuan nodded hurriedly, "It's big and spacious, warm as spring, what a luxury."

Xie Zhao straightened his sleeves and said, "If you like it, it will be yours in the future."

"Hmm?" Lu Zhihuan pursed his lips awkwardly. "That's not good! No merit, no reward."

Her shy little expression pleased Xie Zhao, and he curled his lips slightly, "That's right, Miss Lu is a principled person, just pretend I never said anything."

"Huh? Are you kidding me?"

……

The rating hasn't increased for several months. Is it stuck here?
