Chapter 450 - 450 She took a fancy to Zhuo Zheng
450 She took a fancy to Zhuo Zheng
This was the first time Liang Mingmin had been in such a state of panic and despair.
Her fear and terror gradually subsided as someone saved and treated her gently out of a sudden.
Although the man who had appeared was not very that grown-up, he was very good-looking.
He even had a small dimple and had the handsomeness of a scholar.!!
The key was that he was very gentle.
Not only did he cover her exposed skin with a jacket, but he also looked at her with gentleness and concern.
Liang Mingmin’s heart was moved like a drowning person being saved.
She blushed and looked at him helplessly. “Thank you for saving me, young man.”
Zhuo Zheng was still very gentle. “It’s good that you’re fine.”
Then, he asked worriedly, “Where do you live? Do you need me to send you back?”
Liang Mingmin was very helpless at the moment, but when she heard him say this, she suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of security.
She grabbed his arm and said, “Thank you, young man.”
“I’ll definitely repay you,” she said firmly.
Zhuo Zheng thought, of course I saved you because I want you to repay me.
However, he did not show it on his face.
Instead, he shook his head and declined politely like a gentleman. “I saw injustice on the streets and came to help. I didn’t save you so that you can repay me.”
Upon hearing this, Liang Mingmin was even more touched.
In the past, those people had all come because of her identity.
The man in front of her didn’t know her identity, but he saved her without asking for anything in return.
What a good character.
The men that Liang Mingmin liked, other than being good-looking, had another requirement. They had to be ambitious or have a good character.
As such, she had a very good impression of the young man who had saved him.
“No matter what, you saved me.
“You don’t want to be repaid, but I can’t not repay you,” she said.
Zhuo Zheng supported her, “Let’s not talk about this first. I’ll send you back first.”
Liang Mingmin didn’t want anyone to see her in this state either. “Can I trouble you and your people to turn around? ”
Zhuo Zheng turned around gracefully and even asked the guards to turn around.
Liang Mingmin quickly put on the clothes that the ugly man had torn apart and put on Zhuo Zheng’s jacket.
Her voice was gentle. “I’m done.”
Zhuo Zheng had goosebumps all over his body when he heard this.
He didn’t expect Liang Mingmin to be behaving like this here without others knowing when she was acting so arrogantly in Northern City.
He thought for a while and asked Liang Mingmin, “Miss, how do you want to deal with these people?
“Should I get the guards to send them to the county office?”
He knew that Liang Mingmin would definitely not let him do that, so he could still do her another favor.
As expected, Liang Mingmin immediately shook her head. “I don’t want to. These people bullied me, I definitely can’t let this go.
“Young master, please send me back. After that, let your men escort them to my place. My people will naturally deal with them.”
If she were to send him to the yamen, Xiao Hanzheng would know that she had been humiliated by this ugly man.
She didn’t want Xiao Hanzheng to know, and she didn’t want Shi Qingluo to see her as a joke.
Moreover, this ugly man dared to treat her like that.
She would definitely make him suffer a fate worse than death.
Zhuo Zheng thought for a while and seemed to be in a dilemma.
He looked at Liang Mingmin again, as if he was doing this for her own good. Then, he nodded reluctantly. “Alright, for your sake, I won’t send them to the county government office.
“You can deal with them at your own discretion.” It was as if he had violated his principles of being a gentleman.
After all, those who had done bad things should be sent to the county government and not dealt with privately.
Liang Mingmin could naturally see his dilemma, but in the end, he was willing to make an exception for her.
She couldn’t help but feel a little happy.
As expected, she had the charm to make a young man who she had just met be interested in her and make an exception.
Her heart warmed up. This young man was really a good person.
She revealed a smile. “Thank you, young man!”
Then, Zhuo Zheng got the guards to tie up the ugly man and the rest.
They also stuffed sweat towels into their mouths before sending Liang Mingmin back.
Liang Mingmin had almost recovered by now.
Because she had hung out with many male companions before, Liang Mingmin didn’t care about her chastity as a woman.
She was disgusted that she was bullied by such an ugly and poor man.
She just wanted to go back and take a shower.
Zhuo Zheng looked at Liang Mingmin’s quick recovery and was filled with disdain.
This woman was really too shameless.
If it was any other girl who was bullied like this, she would probably be crying her eyes out.
Those who were chaste might even want to end their own lives.
She was actually so shameless to be able to talk and laugh with him.
Of course, no matter how much he despised her in his heart, he still showed a graceful demeanor and a sense of propriety.
On the way back, Liang Mingmin asked for Zhuo Zheng’s name and identity.
Zhuo Zheng didn’t hide anything. “I’m from Northern City. My family wants to force me to marry a cousin that I don’t like, so I ran away.
“I heard that the wife of Heyang County’s magistrate is very talented. I happened to meet her in Northern City, so I followed her to Heyang County.
“I want to learn something, so I’ve been working for her recently.”
Liang Mingmin was a princess. It was easy for her to investigate his identity and the reason he came to Heyang County.
So he didn’t hide it.
When Liang Mingmin heard Zhuo Zheng’s words, the smile on her face faded. “So you’re saying that you admire Shi Qingluo a lot? ”
The person she hated the most now was Shi Qingluo.
However, she couldn’t bear to hear anyone praise Shi Qingluo, especially Zhuo Zheng, who she had a good impression of.
Zhuo Zheng was good at reading people’s expressions, so he could tell that Liang Mingmin was unhappy.
Although he had not seen it with his own eyes, he had heard about what had happened a few days ago.
There was no way Liang Mingmin would like Shi Qingluo.
He had always known that this woman was cruel and merciless. She especially disliked beautiful and talented women.
All the women from the famous aristocratic families in Northern City had been killed by her.
Since he had already saved Liang Mingmin, of course, he would not ruin her good impression of him because of such a thing.
Thus, he revealed an expression that was difficult to explain in a few words. “I don’t really admire her. Instead, I feel that she doesn’t live up to her name.
“It’s better to hear about it than to see her in person.”
Liang Mingmin, who was initially unhappy, immediately turned to look at him. “Are you saying that you don’t think she’s that great? ”
Zhuo Zheng smiled, “I’m working for her now, so it’s not appropriate for me to say anything about her.
In Liang Mingmin’s ears, these words meant that he was admitting that he didn’t think much of Shi Qingluo.
Her initial unhappiness dissipated in an instant.
As expected, the man she liked was so different and had the same taste as her.
He was definitely dissatisfied and disliked Shi Qingluo, but he was still working for her, so he couldn’t say anything bad about her.
As expected, he had the aura of a gentleman, and was getting closer and closer to her criteria for her future husband.
She decided to observe for a while longer.
She originally wanted Zhuo Zheng to be her gigolo, but now she was a little impulsive and wanted him to come to Prince Jin’s manor as a son-in-law.
Yes, she had taken a fancy to Zhuo Zheng.
She laughed. “You are too much of a gentleman.”
Zhuo Zheng returned a smile. “Miss, you’re too kind!”
He also didn’t know what Liang Mingmin was thinking at this moment, or he would definitely be so scared that he would turn around and run.
