Chapter 7 Good Match
Yuan Ci Xian thought all the way back to the house.

Just now in Furong Garden, she did everything possible to be alone with Zheng Zhuo, just to find out what he really wanted. Now, she probably had some clues.

If she guessed correctly, her brother must have established a political cooperative relationship with him. However, her brother knew that their father was loyal to the emperor and didn’t have other thought, especially disliked to deal with political intrigue, so it was likely that this matter would not be supported by Diannan Prince.

But if his sister married Zheng Zhuo, everything would be different.

The same was true for Zheng Zhuo – it was useless to win over her brother who had no job, the root of this was to rope in her father, who had a massive army.

And just when her brother had no way to get their father’s support, she happened to go to the capital, giving this matter a breakthrough.

To put it bluntly, Zheng Zhuo came to capture her heart this time. It’s just that he never expected that he would be questioned by this greenhorn little girl face to face, so he was speechless for a while.

After thinking about these links, Yuan Ci Xian’s heart became more and more confused: Since Zheng Zhuo and his brother were so related, why did the Yuan family end up dying in his hands? Was the former kill the donkey when the grinding is done, or was the latter betray before the battle? Where did the Yuan family raise troops to rebel?

That night, she fell asleep full of doubts, but unexpectedly returned to that dream again.

In the dream, the light rain was pattering, mixed with a bit of chill, little by little seeped into the bluestone slab. It’s like winter.

The voices of people on all sides were quiet, and the faint crackling sound of raindrops falling on the umbrella surface could be heard. Probably someone was standing on the bridge with an umbrella.

A hoarse male voice sounded: “Still can’t find it?”

Someone replied: “Master, this servant has been searching for a whole night, and you have been waiting here for a long time. There’s no way to go on like this.”

“Keep looking…” This man’s voice trembled a little.

“You shouldn’t stay here for too long. It’s better to go back first. As soon as there is news, this servant will report back to you immediately.”

He was silent for a long time, then said “um”, dragged his steps and left slowly.

The person who stayed on the bridge sighed and said in a low voice, “Since master took the initiative to volunteer arresting Yuan’s father and son, why is he so obsessed with the life and death of County Princess? Even if County Princess is still alive, it’s impossible to let go the hatred towards the man who killed her brother and father.”

Someone replied, “There is no one else in the Yuan family. After all, she’s also master’s former fiancée, so she has to be buried…” After that, he sighed.

Dreaming of this, Yuan Ci Xian was suddenly startled, sweating profusely. She glanced out the window, the sun was rising three poles, the vegetation was verdant, it was a beautiful midsummer scene, and there was no cold winter night.

But the voice of the person in the dream was too familiar. The so-called “Master” was clearly Zheng Zhuo, who separated with her in Furong Garden yesterday.

What did those people say? She used to be his fiancée. Former?

She grabbed her hair trying to calm down. Could it be that Zheng Zhuo and the Yuan family turned against each other because the marriage contract was broken apart? But why did she become his fiancée in the first place, and later why did she break off the engagement?
