Chapter 60 It's a Threat
"Did you hear it just now?"

Duke Hui didn't sit down, but stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and stared at the dilapidated Prince's Mansion in the distance. Seeing Yuan Rourou walking in, he turned to look at her.

Yuan Rourou nodded: "I heard it."

"Zhong Jinping still has some old feelings for you. After you get to him, you must seize this opportunity and lower your status. No matter what, you must get the position of Zhong's mistress..."

"Grandpa, just now what Zhong Jinping meant was that he agreed with me to go to Zhong's house, but did not accept me." Yuan Rourou interrupted Duke Hui's words, her beautiful and weak face was calm and expressionless.No one is used to being arrogant and stubborn, or weak and pitiful, leaving only expressionless gloom.

Duke Hui went to the place where Zhong Jinping was sitting just now and sat down, disapprovingly said: "You will let him accept you."

Don't care about the purpose and process, Duke Hui only cares about the result.

As long as the result is what he wants, nothing else matters.

No matter Zhong Jinping's purpose and means, as long as Yuan Rourou can move into Zhong's house, it is enough for the Yuan family.

Duke Hui looked up at Yuan Rourou. On his old face, the same pair of purple eyes were terrifyingly bright at this moment.Even though the corners of his eyes are covered with fine wrinkles, it can be vaguely discerned from the outline of the end of his eyes how deep and charming his pupils were when he was young, which attracted people to sink.

"The original family can have today's status because our family has continuously married with those in power," Duke Hui said without shy away from the history of the original family's fortune. The ancestors of the imperial regime, their beauty, and the noble bloodlines fused with countless people in power, this is the foundation for the original family to stand in the empire."

There used to be many nobles who laughed at the Yuan family, but later, each of these noble families disappeared in the torrent of history, and only the Yuan family has stood firm for hundreds of years.

【The one in power conquers the empire, the original family conquers the one in power】

This is an ancestral precept that the Yuan family has never revealed to the outside world.

"Not all the ancestors of our family were loved by those in power at the beginning, and many even competed with other men and women, but in the end they all had the last laugh. And beside Zhong Jinping, there was just a man from a humble background. Unreliable commoner, I have seen that commoner's profile, full of joy and anger, arrogant and domineering, with no dignity... Maybe Zhong Jinping will fall in love with such a special woman for a while, but he is so crazy. With such an arrogant character, even his tolerance for the emperor is so low, how could he endure this woman all the time? Sooner or later, he will lose interest in her. When you are with Zhong Jinping, you don't need to deal with this woman directly, you just need to provoke her secretly. Wait for the opportunity, and you will definitely win in the end."

Duke Hui paused at this point, looking at Yuan Rourou, even though her expression was well concealed, the tight corners of her mouth and the humiliating dissatisfaction in her eyes still exposed her heart.

Duke Hui frowned calmly. In the original family, there was only one girl, Yuan Rourou, who was doted on by her four elder brothers since she was a child, and was favored by Zhong Jinping for nearly ten years.

Therefore, Yuan Rourou has always been the existence of the stars, there is no need to fight for favor, there are countless people clamoring to support her and pamper her.

She's used to the whole world revolving around her.

Now, the world doesn't revolve around her, and she still has to compete with a lowly commoner whom she looks down on for a man's favor.

Of course there will be humiliation and resentment.

fair enough.

Only when you feel humiliated and unwilling, you will think about climbing up and turning over. If you really don't care, it will be a headache.

Duke Hui smiled slightly, "Rourou, you will not let grandfather down, right?"

Yuan Rourou's face turned pale: "...Yes."

"Although grandfather doesn't want to admit it, if our family wants to continue to maintain the status of the three nobles, we must marry the Zhong family. The royal family has already lost, and Zhong Jinping's ambitions are not concealed..." Duke Hui said meaningfully Smiling, her eyes fell on Yuan Rourou's slightly moved eyes, "Perhaps, our family will also have a queen."

Yuan Rourou's heart suddenly beat wildly, Queen...

"Grandfather, can't you kill that woman?" Yuan Rourou's mind quickly flashed the image of herself wearing the queen's crown dress and standing on the high clouds to receive the worship of the entire empire.

She clenched her fingers with some excitement, becoming the most honorable woman in the empire, the supreme favor, the power at her fingertips, just thinking about it made her uncontrollably passionate and crazy.

Duke Hui's expression suddenly became gloomy, and he warned: "Don't do stupid things, until Zhong Jinping doesn't lose interest in her, you can't touch her!"

Only men understand men.

If the woman he was doting on was killed by someone, he would have to skin her, disembowel her, and tear her into pieces.

Duke Hui just said that she couldn't move, not that others couldn't.

A malicious thought flashed in his heart, Yuan Rourou lowered his head meekly, the corners of his mouth curled up, "I see, grandfather."

"The information of Zhong Jinping's woman is very strictly protected. I don't have much information. I will send you all the information in a while. When you arrive at Zhong's house, you must be more careful and avoid this woman's limelight."

Yuan Rourou said obediently: "Yes."

"Go out and get ready. I'll send you to Zhong's house in the afternoon."

"Yes, grandfather."

Although the Yuan family didn't send Yuan Rourou to Zhong's house with much fanfare, they just sent Yuan Rourou to the gate of Zhong's house with a car and a suitcase of luggage.

However, this news quickly swept through the entire imperial capital and even the empire after being fueled by interested people.

Yuan Rourou lives in Zhong's house.

Lieutenant General Nora's Mansion.

"What does Zhong Jinping mean? Doesn't he love that commoner very much? Why did Yuan Rourou live in Zhong's house suddenly?" Mrs. Oman's first reaction when she heard the news was disbelief.

When news like this spread out before, Mrs. Oman always regarded it as a rumor released by the Yuan family.

Now that Yuan Rourou has already lived in Zhong's house, I'm afraid it's not just a rumor.

Lieutenant Nora sat on the sofa drinking tea with her back straight and steady. After taking a sip, she casually put the teacup on the tea table, lowered her eyes and meditated.

"What's so strange about this? How could a cold-blooded person like Zhong Jinping really love someone, probably because he wanted to embrace the old and new love." Ellie, who was sitting next to her mother, Mrs. Oman, snorted.

After the successful divorce, Eleanora's face was radiant, like a delicate rose, but when it came to men, especially noble men like Zhong Jinping, she was full of sharp disdain.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Lieutenant General Nora hooked the handle of the teacup with his fingers covered with fine scars and calluses, "Don't underestimate Zhong Jinping. Everything he does seems inexplicable and inexplicable, but in the end it is beneficial to him .”

Three years ago, Yuan Rourou was kidnapped by Zhong Jinping's political opponents, who used Yuan Rourou to threaten him to withdraw from an important election.Zhong Jinping didn't take it seriously at all, and only after the election ended did he unhurriedly mobilize the military to rescue Yuan Rourou, not at all worried that the desperate political opponents would attack Yuan Rourou.

But five days ago, for the sake of Ye Luo, he released the rebel army that had plagued the empire for a long time.

The difference between the two can be imagined.

"Now that Zhong Jinping is on the original family bus, will he take away An's custody through him?" Mrs. Oman was more worried about this than what Zhong Jinping was playing. She looked up worriedly at her grandson's room on the second floor direction.

Ellie seemed to have thought of this too, her expression changed.

"No." Lieutenant General Nora twitched the corner of his mouth, revealing a somewhat sarcastic smile, "Zhong Jinping will never interfere with matters that have nothing to do with his interests."

Lieutenant General Nora picked up the teacup and turned it in his hand: "Zhong Jinping will never be so kind to help the Yuan family. That idiot Yuan Hui asked the jackal to help him drive away the evil tiger. He only relies on foreign things, and sooner or later his bones will be swallowed." None left."

It is also delusional and foolish to want to bind Zhong Jinping through marriage, and use the Zhong family to return to glory, it is simply whimsical and stupid to the extreme.

This idiot has only learned a little bit of the style of the ancestors of the Yuan family, and he thinks he has grasped the essence.The former Yuan family did not become the three nobles simply by relying on marriage.Without enough interests tied together, who would take a dead letter marriage seriously?The original family is not as strong as the Zhong family in terms of military strength, and the Gu family is not as good as the government affairs ability, but they have been able to survive dozens of generations of emperors for hundreds of years. Could it be that they rely on their beauty to seduce them?

That idiot, it seems that Ellie divorced his useless eldest son, and he hasn't woken up yet.

"Let's wait and see the good show. I'm afraid there will be a lot of big plays in the imperial capital recently." Lieutenant General Nora, who was taciturn in front of his subordinates, knew everything in front of his wife and daughter.

The Zhong family consists of various large and small courtyards that are not below the imperial palace. The main courtyard located in the center is the main courtyard where the head of the family lives, rests, and works. It is also the main building of the Zhong family. It is the largest and most magnificent courtyard.

On the right side of the main courtyard is the place where the mistresses lived, called Pingyuan.

The area of ​​the flat courtyard is slightly smaller, and it is on the same level as the main courtyard.Because Zhong Jinping's biological mother, the wife of the former head of the family, used to live here. For unknown reasons, after the death of the wife of the old head of the house, the entire yard was sealed off by the previous head of the house, and it became a forbidden area of ​​the Zhong family that could not be called a forbidden area.

After Zhong Jinping took the position of head of the family, he also let the Pingyuan seal it.

It was said that the two father and son had a bad relationship with the old housewife, and they didn't want to see the place where she lived, so they simply sealed it up.

And a little behind Pingyuan is the wisteria courtyard.There used to be a collection of wisterias of various varieties in the empire, and the entire courtyard is surrounded by countless wisteria flower galleries, like pieces of exquisite works of art.

There used to be wisteria flowers that were carefully cultivated and never faded in all seasons, blooming brilliantly, like a dream.

The latter wisterias were all disposed of and replanted with other flowers and plants, completely unable to see the dreamlike grand scene of wisterias before.

Yuan Rourou was carrying a suitcase and standing in the yard that was once built to please her, but now she couldn't see what it looked like before. Even if she was mentally prepared, she would still be unable to contain the disappointment, anger and resentment in her heart.

But her expression is well concealed, she still has a noble and elegant gentle appearance, but her face is slightly pale. Compared with the arrogance revealed from the bottom of her bones in the past, she looks much weaker and gentler, delicate and weak, without any sharpness .

It seems that those proud edges and corners on his body have been smoothed away by successive changes.

This kind of Yuan Rourou is even more pitiful.

But the newly appointed butler of the Zhong family who brought her here was indifferent. The young butler had an impeccable and polite smile on his face, "Miss Yuan, you are staying here temporarily. If you have any orders, just order these two Just a servant."

The two servants standing behind the butler, a man and a woman, both looked silent and dull, they walked up one from the left and the other from the right, and bowed to Yuan Rourou.

"Miss Yuan."

Yuan Rou Rou said with a self-deprecating smile on her pale face: "I'm just living under someone's roof now, so you don't have to be polite."

The two servants, a man and a woman, had a dull face and did not speak. This kind of dullness does not seem to be acquired, but it seems to be born. Even their beads showed a dull look.

The young butler smiled slightly, and the ponytail tied behind his head made him look more and more neat. "Miss Yuan, you are serious. You are a distinguished guest of the Zhong family. How can you say that you are living under someone else's roof? These two are Dafeng and Xiaochen, who are responsible for taking care of you." Living in the Zhong family’s basic necessities.”

Yuan Rourou bit her lips lightly, her raised purple eyes were beautiful and pure, innocent and pitiful, "Your name is Xinan, right, can I add your social account? It's convenient to contact..."

The smiling expression on the young housekeeper's face didn't change a bit: "Miss Yuan, if you need anything else, just let Dafeng or Xiaochen come to me."

Yuan Rourou's expression froze slightly, and the movement to take out the communicator was abruptly stuck.

"A lot of places in Zhong's house are restricted military areas and dangerous restricted areas. For your safety, please don't walk around casually if you have nothing to do. If you want to leave the wisteria courtyard, you must inform Dafeng or Xiaochen in advance. If you go out If there is any accident, I will die."

The expression and tone of the butler Xinan were so respectful that there was nothing wrong with it.

Yuan Rourou's face turned pale again, but the fingers hidden under the sleeve pierced her palm hard, and she couldn't help trembling.

So, she was imprisoned?
Yuan Rourou bit her lower lip lightly, her tone was a bit difficult, "Xinan, I want to see Zhong... Patriarch, after all, I have already lived in, it would be impolite not to meet Patriarch."

"I'm really sorry, the Patriarch has been very busy recently, I'm afraid I don't have time to see you, but I will convey your thoughts to the Patriarch."

Yuan Rourou lowered her head, her curled eyelashes and eyelids covered the gloomy look in her eyes, "Then I want to meet Miss Ye Luo, can I?"

Xinan still looked the same, respectful and neither humble nor overbearing: "Miss Yuan, I'm really sorry, the master ordered you not to appear in front of the mistress. Mistress...is not very tempered, but she has excellent skills. If you accidentally provoke me Mistress, Mistress accidentally beat you to death, it would be too unfair."

Yuan Rourou's whole body trembled a few times, this was a naked threat! !
