After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure
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 Mingminâs heart was moved like a drowning person being saved.
She blushed and looked at him helplessly. âThank you for saving me, young man.â
Zhuo Zheng was still very gentle. âItâs good that youâre fine.â
Then, he asked worriedly, âWhere do you live? Do you need me to send you back?â
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, âThank you, young man.â
âIâll definitely repay you,â 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. âI saw injustice on the streets and came to help. I didnât save you so that you can repay me.â
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 didnât 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.
âNo matter what, you saved me.
âYou donât want to be repaid, but I canât not repay you,â she said.
Zhuo Zheng supported her, âLetâs not talk about this first. Iâll send you back first.â
Liang Mingmin didnât want anyone to see her in this state either. âCan I trouble you and your people to turn around? â
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 Zhengâs jacket.
Her voice was gentle. âIâm done.â
Zhuo Zheng had goosebumps all over his body when he heard this.
He didnât 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, âMiss, how do you want to deal with these people?
âShould I get the guards to send them to the county office?â
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. âI donât want to. These people bullied me, I definitely canât let this go.
âYoung master, please send me back. After that, let your men escort them to my place. My people will naturally deal with them.â
If she were to send him to the yamen, Xiao Hanzheng would know that she had been humiliated by this ugly man.
She didnât want Xiao Hanzheng to know, and she didnât 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. âAlright, for your sake, I wonât send them to the county government office.
âYou can deal with them at your own discretion.â 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 couldnât 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. âThank you, young man!â
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 didnât 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 Mingminâs 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 Zhengâs name and identity.
Zhuo Zheng didnât hide anything. âIâm from Northern City. My family wants to force me to marry a cousin that I donât like, so I ran away.
âI heard that the wife of Heyang Countyâs magistrate is very talented. I happened to meet her in Northern City, so I followed her to Heyang County.
âI want to learn something, so Iâve been working for her recently.â
Liang Mingmin was a princess. It was easy for her to investigate his identity and the reason he came to Heyang County.
So he didnât hide it.
When Liang Mingmin heard Zhuo Zhengâs words, the smile on her face faded. âSo youâre saying that you admire Shi Qingluo a lot? â
The person she hated the most now was Shi Qingluo.
However, she couldnât bear to hear anyone praise Shi Qingluo, especially Zhuo Zheng, who she had a good impression of.
Zhuo Zheng was good at reading peopleâs 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. âI donât really admire her. Instead, I feel that she doesnât live up to her name.
âItâs better to hear about it than to see her in person.â
Liang Mingmin, who was initially unhappy, immediately turned to look at him. âAre you saying that you donât think sheâs that great? â
Zhuo Zheng smiled, âIâm working for her now, so itâs not appropriate for me to say anything about her.
In Liang Mingminâs ears, these words meant that he was admitting that he didnât 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 couldnât 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 Jinâs manor as a son-in-law.
Yes, she had taken a fancy to Zhuo Zheng.
She laughed. âYou are too much of a gentleman.â
Zhuo Zheng returned a smile. âMiss, youâre too kind!â
He also didnât know what Liang Mingmin was thinking at this moment, or he would definitely be so scared that he would turn around and run.
