When Yuan Chu came in, his face was full of worry, and even his usually carefree steps were a little messy. It could be seen that he was really anxious.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he wanted to go straight to Murong Yan's house, but he was stopped by the black armored guard after just a few steps.
Qin Zhen sat aside and said slowly: "It's rare for the young general to come to visit, so I specially prepared refreshments. Don't you need some, young general?"
Only then did Yuan Chu notice Qin Zhen next to him. He hurriedly walked over and saluted, saying, "Princess, I'm sorry. I'd better use this refreshment another day. I'm really in a hurry right now."
He was anxious, but Qin Zhen was not anxious and said slowly: "Young General, you'd better eat something."
Yuan Chu: "I really don't need to..."
Before he finished speaking, Yuan Chu finally realized something was wrong.
Looking at Qin Zhen like this, it didn't look like she had specially prepared refreshments to entertain herself, but rather like she had prepared a Hongmen Banquet for herself.
If he couldn't pass the princess test today, the black-armored guard wouldn't let him move even half a step forward, and he wouldn't be able to see Murong Yan today no matter what.
Yuan Chu took a deep breath and walked over silently.
Qin Zhen smiled and pointed to the chair opposite: "Major General, please sit down."
Yuan Chu sat down and looked up at Qin Zhen: "Princess, if you have anything to say, just tell me."
Seeing how direct he was, Qin Zhen stopped hiding it: "It's nothing serious. I just want to ask the young general, what's wrong with my Doctor Murong?"
Yuan Chu: "...There's nothing wrong with her."
"Really?" Qin Zhen said coolly, "If everything is fine, then why did she run back from the Yuan family crying? Young General, why don't you explain it."
Yuan Chu raised his hand and rubbed his cheek: "It's my fault, I made her angry."
Qin Zhen's eyes turned cold, and her tone became much darker: "I don't care what the reason is, Doctor Murong is from our palace, no one can bully her."
"When the young general left the capital for southern Xinjiang, he made nice promises, saying that he would marry her when he returned home in triumph, but what happened? He didn't treat her well after he came back, and he even made her so angry that she ran away from the Yuan family.
What, are you bullying Doctor Murong, an orphan girl with no support?"
Yuan Chu: "No, I didn't mean that."
"What do you mean, General?" Qin Zhen said coldly, "I think when you disappeared in southern Xinjiang, Dr. Murong, a weak woman, asked to go to southern Xinjiang to search for you without any hesitation. It was us who finally persuaded her to stay.
Before she found you, she was worried about not eating well and sleeping all day long, for fear that something might happen to you. Once you returned to the capital, she was worried that others could not take care of your injury, so she went to Yuan Mansion to take care of you personally regardless of others' opinions. For you
, Doctor Murong is extremely kind and righteous, but what have you done for her?"
As Qin Zhen finished speaking, Yuan Chu's eyes couldn't help but turn red.
"Yes, I'm sorry for her. I couldn't control it for a moment and said some harsh words to her." Yuan Chu rubbed his cheek again, his expression full of regret and his voice, "I didn't do it.
Well, it will make her sad."
Qin Zhen looked at him like this and was silent for a moment before asking: "What's going on?"
Yuan Chu closed his eyes and finally said: "Because... Yuan Xu's matter."
When Qin Zhen heard the name, her face turned uglier than before.
If Yuan Xu had not helped Xiao Jue collect intelligence, her relationship with Qin Xiao would not have been exposed to Xiao Jue, and Xiao Jue would not have used this to manipulate her in the end, almost killing his own child.
