Chapter 344
But she didn't expect that she actually understood this.
In a guilty state, Lu Chengze did not have the toughness he had just said, "Madam, you misunderstood. Have I ever had a different relationship with your maid? I talked to them, and never did I care about you."
"All people are dead, of course you feel that there is no evidence of death, so you can rest assured." Chen Manqing sneered, while Lu Chengze showed an innocent expression. "Madam, you really misunderstand me. I will not talk to your girl in the future. Then don't blame me for being indifferent to you and not knowing the heat and cold."
"But a few girls, you will die if you flirt with me. I won't bother with you. Please explain what happened today." Chen Manqing's expression was more cold than before, and he was almost emotional. His expression looked very much like the right prime minister. Lu Chengze instinctively stood up straight and dared not explain randomly.
Chen Manqing stroked the hair on his forehead, "Didn't you make excuses just now? Why, now you're mute?"
"I didn't do anything just now. The Hanlin Academy had a lot of business a few days ago. I took a day off while His Majesty left the palace to escape the summer heat. I wanted to come out to relax." Lu Chengze didn't know what Chen Manqing had discovered, and explained slowly from the beginning, but in fact he was testing how much Chen Manqing knew, so he could make up a more appropriate excuse.
However, Chen Manqing said nothing, just looked at him coldly.
Feeling the same oppression when chatting with the right prime minister, Lu Chengze swallowed, "My father-in-law is deeply trusted by His Majesty. This time he followed His Majesty to the Summer Resort. I... I do complain that my father-in-law did not mention me before His Majesty, and also took me to experience the royal villa. That's why... I lie when you asked this morning if you were going out to Beijing to escape the summer heat..."
"Oh."
Chen Manqing chuckled, Lu Chengze tightened his face and said quickly, "Madam, I know you don't think I should be like this. It looks like a childlike behavior.
But I am just a little Hanlin. In the past, I rarely saw the emperor's face in the palace. I originally thought that I would have more opportunities to show my face when I arrived in the Bianzhuang. If I could be valued by the emperor, I would also be proud of my unpaid in the future! I would be a little unfair to miss such an important opportunity."
The disdain on Chen Manqing's face was even more serious.
This is the expression that Lu Chengze has seen it on her face many times.
He didn't understand that even if he was not the top scorer, he was still a Jinshi who passed the exam by his own ability. Compared with the top scorer and the top scorer, only he is a real poor disciple, so he is not worse than them!
Even though the official position is given by his father-in-law now, if he doesn't marry Chen Manqing, he can still get a single and half position. Even if the position is definitely lower than now, he doesn't have to be angry with this woman!
He is a man, why should he look at a woman's face?
If he hadn't been obsessed with the ghosts and did not marry this woman, he would be the worst candidate for a small magistrate in a remote place. He was a little harder, but he only followed him and treated him as a virtuous wife who worshipped him like heaven. In a small place, the magistrate was heaven. He was the only one and didn't know how happy he was!
The Prime Minister’s son-in-law sounds nice. How many people in the Hanlin look down on him?
They are all related parties, why do they look down on him?
"Liu Ruyue."
Just when Lu Chengze was so angry that he couldn't bear to be angry, Chen Manqing opened his red lips and recited a name.
Now, a huge wave broke out in Lu Chengze's heart and almost knocked him to the ground, "Madam, I don't know what you are talking about."
"I don't know what I'm talking about. Some things can't be covered up as long as I do it." Chen Manqing, who always had a cold expression, looked very ugly at this moment.
The panicked Lu Chengze knew that Chen Manqing might have really mastered the evidence, otherwise she would not have known the name.
Looking at Lu Chengze who was dodging his eyes, Chen Manqing was angry and said, "Explain it to me!"
I wonder how specific what Chen Manqing knew was, whether he had married a wife, or did he know that he... had killed his wife?
Lu Chengze kept raising words in his heart, afraid of saying the wrong thing.
"You don't say it, right? Do you want to invite my Shi Niang?"
Lu Chengze looked up in shock, "You, what do you mean?"
"Lu Chengze, until now, do you still want to hide it?" Chen Manqing gritted his teeth, but Lu Chengze really couldn't figure out what she knew, and why did she mention Shi Niang?
"Madam, I really don't know what you are talking about." As for Chen Manqing's chilly eyes, Lu Chengze picked up what was beneficial to him and explained it less.
"Yes, I did have a childhood sweetheart named Liu Ruyue before, but after I went to Beijing to take the exam, I received news that she was seriously ill."
"Editor, keep editing! You are all fools in my Prime Minister's Mansion. I thought your family was in a remote countryside and the people in my Prime Minister's Mansion could not find anything about you?" Chen Manqing grabbed the thing at hand and smashed it at Lu Chengze.
She is a proud daughter of heaven. She missed her love and couldn't get it. She could only settle for the second best, not ask for the man's ability. Her father was her greatest backer. How could she need this man to win any glory for her?
What she couldn't stand the most was that this man dared to lie to her!
I didn't tell her once or twice, and I didn't tell her and the Prime Minister's father, but I still wanted to cheat her now!
Her pride did not allow such a person to humiliate her IQ again and again.
Lu Chengze didn't care about his depression and unsuccessfulness at this moment, and he knelt on the ground with a thud, regardless of his forehead that was hit by a teacup.
"Madam, I, Liu Ruyue, is the child bride my mother found for me. I have no other feelings for her. My mother asked me to marry her. I didn't want to do it at all."
"Ha!" Chen Manqing smiled angrily, "Don't want to? Don't want to, you still have a baby with her. It was your mother who forced you to give birth to one child after another with her with a kitchen knife? Can you give birth to a baby without sleeping together? Every time you sleep, you can give birth to a baby?"
Chen Manqing didn't care about the reserve of a noble girl at this moment. She never thought that such vulgar words would be said from her mouth, but after she said it, she felt a little relieved.
"You're the three-year-old kid who is here to cheat?"
Hearing that Chen Manqing did know how many children he had, Lu Chengze seemed to have been drained all his strength, he crawled over and hugged Chen Manqing's legs and cried, "Madam, I'm not trying to lie to you, I'm just afraid that you will be sad. I really have no feelings for Liu Ruyue."
"It's mine to ask her to give birth to my baby, but at the beginning, I just thought that going to Beijing to take the exam was very dangerous. If I died on the road, no one would inherit the incense of my Lu family and take care of my mother.
