Chapter 18 – Chance Encounter (2)

The middle-aged servant closed the door, frowning at Shen Ziqiao. “Third miss Shen, what can I do for you?”

Shen Ziqiao replied, “I have something to say to Master Qi.”

Qi Zheng recognized that she was the woman he met the other day in the Thousand Buddha Temple. He even knew her infamous reputation in the capital as the unruly miss of the Shen family and the ninth prince’s stalker.

There was a curiosity that remained in him from yesterday when she told him someone was trying to hurt her, and thus, she wanted him to act alongside her.

“I have nothing to say to you.” Qi Zheng said. This woman probably must doubt his disability, so he could not give her a chance to approach him.

“Then you can just listen, there’s no need to give me a reply.” Shen Ziqiao immediately started, “I’m positive that you don’t want to have a disreputable woman like me as your wife, and frankly, I don’t want to marry you either. Now, there’s nothing I can do when someone wants to set us up, but I can’t help it—I believe you must have a plan. Please, don’t let this marriage happen.”

She firmly thinks that since Qi Zheng is only playing as s fool, he will not let others decide the course of his life.

And getting a wife is a matter of lifetime choice, one that can’t be decided casually.

“Third miss Shen, his parents are in charge of our young master’s fate in marriage. How can we make our own decisions?” The middle-aged man, who had been silent, finally said in a displeased tone and looked at Qi Zheng while at it.

Shen Ziqiao didn’t know whether the servant was a confidant of Qi Zheng or not. Moreover, she would not dare easily reveal that she knew Qi Zheng was playing dumb. In the end, she mustered a wronged expression and said, “Anyway…anyway, I just refuse to marry you.”

“All the people in the capital know that you only want to be married to the ninth prince.” The middle-aged servant said with a straight face.

Although she could not detect any hint of mocking in these words, Shen Ziqiao’s face still burned as she felt second-hand shame. She doesn’t want to marry that ninth prince too!

“I’ve just seen the ninth prince and the third miss of the Sheng family.” Qi Zheng seemed to mutter to himself.

But Shen Ziqiao knew that he directed this to her.

“Master Qi!” Shen Ziqiao couldn’t let her hope falter. There must be a way to stop the marriage!

“Uncle Qun, I’m going back.” Qi Zheng avoided Shen Ziqiao’s hand and walked behind the middle-aged servant.

“Yes, young master.” Uncle Qun at Shen Ziqiao, conveying the message that she had disturbed his master’s rest and should return another day.

Before Shen Ziqiao could say anything, Qi Zheng had already opened the door and strode outside.

It looks like I’m all on my own!

With a heavy heart, Shen Ziqiao sighed, thinking that the moment they would return back, Shen Ziyang would tell on her to the old madam. That means she’ll have another earful.

As she came out of the room and passed through the garden, she heard a familiar voice. She looked up and saw Sheng Peiyin coming from the opposite side with a handsome young man with a face smooth like jade. Shen Ziqiao was taken aback and hid behind a rockery.

“…I had an appointment with you at the Lotus Flower Hill that day, but I’m unaware of how Jiao Jiao was able to hear about it. I had to go to the Thousand Buddha Temple with her and had to let you wait for a while.” Sheng Peiyin’s voice subtly reached Shen Ziqiao’s ears.

“This prince doesn’t blame you. To be able to avoid that madman, this prince is thankful.” The man who answered back spoke softly.

Is that the ninth prince? Shen Ziqiao sneaked a glance and saw that he was indeed a handsome man as people said.

“Ninth prince, Jiao Jiao is quite good.” Sheng Peiyin laughed.

“Don’t mention her again. This prince doesn’t want to have nightmares.” The ninth prince said in disgust.

Shen Ziqiao looked up to the heavens. It turns out that in the eyes of such a handsome man, she had become a nightmare.

However, that incident in Thousand Buddha Temple… This Sheng Peiyin is an excellent tactician. She can have an affair with the ninth prince on the one hand, and at the same time ‘help’ her seduce him.
