Chapter 277 Fortunately, the People in It Were Not Chopped

The capital city’s flower market had recently been lively, only because of the visitors. For the seeds of Tang Qianyan, almost all the good floriculturists had been invited away, and only the ordinary stayed.

But the entire flower market was still very lively anyway.

Wearing a curtain hat, Qin Wanru got out of the carriage and walked to the rows of flowerpots. Not many flowers bloomed at this time, and most of them were Tang Qianyan, which all bloomed late.

Yet, all of them looked pretty, making Qin Wanru who came to the flower market for the first time enjoy herself. As she appreciated them, she walked to the depths gradually.

There, visitors were fewer. There were many big potted plants, stopping people from seeing each other.

“Miss, this tree grows well and looks beautiful.” Yujie’s eyes glistened as she pointed at the potted plants. Thinking for a moment, she added, “They look like the trees at the gate of Jingxin Monastery.”

Hearing this, Qin Wanru smiled sweetly. The trees at the gate of Jingxin Monastery were somewhat like the potted plant indeed.

“They have long been chopped down!” Chu Liuchen came out behind a large potted plant, his voice sounding lazy and gentle.

Qin Wanru went over and bowed sideways to him. “Your highness!”

“Is this the Tang Qianyan you take care of? Qin Wanru, you are really skillful!” Chu Liuchen’s eyes turned to the Tang Qianyan in Yujie’s hands.

“It… has just arrived in the capital and hasn’t adapted to the climate!” Qin Wanru said with a dry smile, her watery eyes turning to the Tang Qianyan. Walking along the way here while appreciating these flourishing Tang Qianyan, Qin Wanru did feel hers was “only alive”.

Even the leaves were scanty.

“You have adapted to the climate, but the Tang Qianyan that should grow in the capital city hasn’t adapted to it?” Chu Liuchen touched his chin as he pondered and said with a faint smile.

Qin Wanru’s pink, tender face reddened as she bit her lip. This was a hard question. Could she say that the flower had been in unhealthy condition in the beginning?

“Prince, why the trees at the gate of Jingxin Monastery have been chopped down?” Yujie came over with the Tang Qianyan, bowed to Chu Liuchen, and asked anxiously.

She was not very clear about what happened to Jingxin Monastery.

“Framed by someone. Fortunately, the people in it were not chopped!” Chu Liuchen said carelessly.

Qin Wanru was quite shocked. “What… about the people in it?”

“I have promised you, so they are fine. Don’t you believe me!” Chu Liuchen’s face sank, and the look in his eyes turned ice cold.

It seemed that the spring breeze-like feeling that appeared just now was just Qin Wanru’s imagination.

“Thank you, prince!” Qin Wanru reacted extremely fast, bending to bow again, afraid that he would strike a pose again. It was not so easy to predict this prince’s joy or anger.

“What about my Tang Qianyan?” Chu Liuchen asked in a bad tone. As that pair of beautiful eyes swept across Qin Wanru’s face, she shuddered inexplicably.

“Prince, whatever you want, tell me!” Qin Wanru complained inwardly. It seemed that Chu Liuchen did want to negotiate, but negotiating with him would only end with her loss.

“Qin Wanru, I remember we have traded many times, and you have owed me a lot by now!” Chu Liuchen turned his eyes slightly sideways to her and suddenly gave out a faint smile.

“Yes!’ In this situation, Qin Wanru had to admit it courageously.

“Then, it is time for you to pay!” Chu Liuchen suddenly smiled. As the corner of his mouth raised, he looked as beautiful as an ink painting.

Elegant as flowers, but cold under the cover. He was like a pool of deep water that couldn’t be seen through, sucking people’s souls and taking their lives.

“I will listen to your orders, Prince!” Qin Wanru’s back turned cold, but she had to accept the condition. She clenched her hands in her sleeves tightly, waiting for Chu Liuchen’s orders.

She should have predicted this moment a long time before.

No matter how shocked she was, she came back to earth instantly. Chu Liuchen was never only a harmless young man as he looked.

The so-called handsome young man who walked out of the ink painting was only a shell he presented to the world, among the many shells he had.

“An honest child!” Chu Liuchen praised casually, with extremely gorgeous eyes.

Fatefully, when he extended his hand, he might not think that much, but now he thought this was better. “Honest people make me feel at ease. Look, she submitted it just because of a bonsai of Tang Qianyan. This saves me energy, and I don’t need to use other threats!”

He would never give up what he wanted!

“Prince, thanks for your praise!” Qin Wanru flapped her eyelashes a couple of times and said.

“In fact, it’s very simple. My imperial grandmother wants me to choose a consort, but I don’t want those women, so…” Chu Liuchen stared at Qin Wanru, making her back turn cold.

“Prince, what do you mean?” Qin Wanru gritted her teeth and calmed the nervousness from the bottom of her heart, looking at Chu Liuchen with her bright watery eyes, but her brain was running fast.

“In my previous life, Chu Liuchen seemed to have no consort, nor did I hear of his wedding. It seemed that everyone forgot his marriage, even including the Empress Dowager who loved him a lot and the emperor who was said to grant him whatever he asked.

“So, this event didn’t happen in my previous life, but will it happen in this life? Has my rebirth changed everything?”

“What I mean is very simple. To avoid trouble, you should be my fiancée. Look at you now… I estimate that you can only be a fiancée. It happens that I don’t want to marry, either!”

Chu Liuchen contemptuously looked up and down Qin Wanru, whose ontogenesis had just begun and snorted.

“Prince, if you don’t want to marry, why do you need a fiancée? With your ability, it isn’t a difficult matter, right?” Qin Wanru stared at Chu Liuchen’s young rosy cheeks, bit her red lip, and said.

She didn’t believe that Chu Liuchen could not refuse it with his means! The methods he used to refuse in her previous life could also be used in this life. The Empress Dowager would not force him if he didn’t want to, because obviously, no one could force him to do anything.

“I could refuse in the past and my grandma might listen to me, but now… When I passed out again that day, Xiao Xuanzi didn’t take good care of me… My grandma went furious and asked people to rectify my mansion, and Xiao Xuanzi was also beaten!”

Chu Liuchen seemed not surprised to hear Qin Wanru’s question and said in a carefree manner.

“Second Miss, I was beaten indeed, and I cannot even sit down by now!” Xiao Xuanzi nodded aside and said with a wry smile.

Looking pale and gaunt, he seemed to have been beaten.

“You passed out, prince?” Qin Wanru widened her watery eyes and asked, looking Chu Liuchen up and down. She didn’t know if she was wrong because she didn’t believe that the prince was as weak as that.

“Yes, indeed, and I passed out in front of the imperial physician my grandma brought to me. I’ve heard he was found by Duke Xing for my grandma. He is a miracle-working physician, but he is also useless. He only said I… might not have many years to live!”

Chu Liuchen smiled as if he were talking about someone else’s situation, without expression on his handsome face, and even narrowed his beautiful eyes tightly, showing he didn’t care about it.

“What about… your health, prince?” Qin Wanru bit her lip and asked.

“I know my condition, don’t worry, it’s only a betrothal. By then, if I die, I will ask my grandma to break it and free you!” Chu Liuchen eyed Qin Wanru strangely and smiled eerily. His malicious attitude was a sharp contrast from his former carefree attitude.

His authoritativeness and coldness made Qin Wanru cry silently.

“These things are not important. Anyway, for me, marriage is not important.” Qin Wanru had to tell him her innermost idea.

In this life, marriage was not important for her. In her previous life, she was betrayed, again and again, which had given her an inexplicable fear. In the depths of her heart, she didn’t want to marry at all.

Once she had an idea that if it would be like what she guessed, she could also persuade her seniors to allow her to build a family herself in the end. Building a family as a woman had happened before. If this was impossible, she could also go to a place like Jingxin Monastery. After everything was done, she would spend the rest of her life in that peaceful place. That would also be a good choice!

Now Chu Liuchen wanted to use her marriage. In fact, she didn’t care about it, and this should be the supplemental clause for their trade.

“It is quite fair, isn’t it?”

“You don’t want to marry? Neither do I. So, we can be a couple temporarily. When I leave the world, I will give you freedom!” Chu Liuchen pondered and said, smiling with joy. At this moment, he became an unparalleled gentleman again!

Qin Wanru opened her misty watery eyes and heaved a deeper sigh inwardly. “This prince is an excellent cheater. I suppose only the colorful snakes can have such changeable colors!”

“Whatever your ideas!” Qin Wanru nodded and said. Thinking for a moment, she added sincerely, “Prince, if you fall in love with someone one day, don’t think about my feelings, just break off our betrothal.”

Qin Wanru didn’t take what Chu Liuchen said about his death to her heart. After all, this man was living well in her previous life.

Chu Liuchen looked at her and suddenly raised the corner of his mouth with a profound meaning, showing a cunning and charming smile. “Qin Wanru, you are very good. If the thing is done, our previous debts will be over, and I can also promise I will try to help you in the future. But now the thing is not done, so you should still deal with it yourself.”

Qin Wanru suddenly had a premonition and widened her eyes subconsciously. “Prince, what do you want to say?”
