Chapter 647. Chen Zhirong's decisive means (medium).
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Chen Zhirong held her cheek with her hand and looked at Chen You with a cold gaze. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
Seeing Chen Zhirong's attitude, Chen You was about to reach out and slap Chen Zhirong again.
But Chen Zhirong was still fearless, and said coldly: "Father, is my daughter wrong?" Zhao Junchen is currently just planning to marry Cui Qianxue, not already marrying Cui Qianxue! There is still room for redemption! At this time, the father should find a way to turn the situation around, instead of rushing here to humiliate his daughter and put all the blame on his daughter! β
Speaking of this, Chen Zhirong's voice became colder, and she continued: "What's more, the father keeps blaming his daughter for being useless, but how much effort have you put into this matter, Father?" Since the matter of his daughter's marriage to Zhao Junchen is related to the future plans of the Seventh Prince, why does the father always stand by and just let his daughter contribute alone? β¦β¦ Or, father, you expected your daughter to fail? Even if the failure of the daughter will destroy the plan of the Seven Princes, is it not hesitated? β¦β¦ Father, I'm sure he's in a good mood right now, right? After all, the daughter finally failed, which proves that the daughter's ability and means are just ordinary, right? β
Chen Zhirong's successive questions once again hit Chen You's true thoughts.
As a result, Chen You's face was cloudy, and his mood became more and more annoyed and angry, but his raised palm could not be waved down again no matter what.
At the same time, unconsciously, Chen Zhirong also took the initiative in this conversation again.
Seeing the change in Chen You's expression, Chen Zhirong's eyes became more and more disdainful, and he said slowly: "Father, what do you say...... If your current performance is known to His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, will the Seventh Prince support you or his daughter? β
Hearing Chen Zhirong's inquiry, Chen You's body trembled slightly.
Chen You knows very well that the style of the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian and Chen Zhirong is very similar, they are both temperaments that will not give up until they reach their goals!
Therefore, in this matter, Zhu Hejian's judgment may be exactly the same as Chen Zhirong's - since the matter has not yet become a foregone conclusion, then we must not give up easily, and we should do everything possible to change the situation!
In this way, Chen You's impatient approach to punish Chen Zhirong will inevitably cause Zhu Hejian's dislike!
Thinking of this, before the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian's clear statement, Chen You didn't dare to punish Chen Zhirong easily, and his raised palm slowly fell.
In the end, Chen You snorted coldly and said, "Zhao Junchen will officially marry Cui Qianxue on the seventh day of the first month of next month, you had better change Zhao Junchen's decision in time before this day!" Otherwise, you won't be complacent for long! Once you lose your use value, don't expect the Seven Princes to protect you! β
After speaking, Chen You glared at Chen Zhirong fiercely, then turned around and left quickly.
Then, Chen Zhirong also saw the short whip in Chen You's hand behind him.
Obviously, according to Chen You's original plan, it was not just as simple as slapping Chen Zhirong.
Chen Zhirong glanced at Chen You's back and said in an undisguised voice: "Father, incompetence is not too much of a fault, but incompetence is narrow-minded at the same time, can't see others stronger than himself, and is even jealous of his adopted daughter, this practice is very ridiculous!" β
Chen You seemed to hear Chen Zhirong's ridicule, and his steps paused slightly, but he did not continue to entangle with Chen Zhirong, but just left quickly without looking back.
In this way, Chen You originally came to deliberately humiliate Chen Zhirong, but now he was humiliated by Chen Zhirong.

After Chen You left, Chen Zhirong's originally bright eyes gradually became deeper.
In a way, Chen You's statement is not wrong, if Zhao Junchen finally married Cui Qianxue, then Chen Zhirong would have completely lost his use value in the eyes of the seventh prince Zhu Hejian.
During this period of time, Chen Zhirong has repeatedly leaked the intelligence of the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian to Zhao Junchen, I am afraid that the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian may not know, but because of Zhao Junchen, he has been secretly forbearing.
Perhaps, leaking some news to Zhao Junchen through Chen Zhirong was originally part of the plan of the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian, not only to paralyze Zhao Junchen, but also to increase Chen Zhirong's weight in Zhao Junchen's eyes.
But if Zhao Junchen didn't choose Chen Zhirong as his wife in the end, based on what Chen Zhirong has done during this time, with the character of the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian, he will definitely settle the score!
At that time, Chen Zhirong is afraid that it will end badly!
"Luckily, I have one last resort! β¦β¦ I wasn't going to use this method, but now it's the only way to go! β
Chen Zhirong's eyes couldn't help flickering, and she thought secretly.
Just when Chen Zhirong was thinking in secret, the maid who was originally waiting on the side finally recovered from the panic, and quickly ran to Chen Zhirong's side, after seeing Chen Zhirong's red and swollen cheeks, her eyes were full of worry, and she asked softly, "Second Miss, are you okay?" β
This maid's name is Tao'er, and she is only fourteen or fifteen years old now, with a simple personality and a kind nature.
Just now, Tao'er was serving Chen Zhirong's makeup, but she was frightened by Chen You who suddenly broke into the room, and the conflict between Chen You and Chen Zhirong was even more frightened and overwhelmed, so she subconsciously hid aside, and only after Chen You left, did she return to Chen Zhirong's side again.
Chen Zhirong has always disliked Tao'er.
In Chen Zhirong's view, the so-called simplicity is a manifestation of ignorance, and kindness and weakness are synonymous, especially the simple kindness that has not experienced the tempering of the world, it is just a kind of hypocrisy, just like a high-rise building without any foundation, which will be blown down by a gentle gust of wind!
Especially now, because Zhao Junchen is about to marry Cui Qianxue, Chen Zhirong is even more disgusted with this naΓ―ve and immature character.
But today, for some reason, Chen Zhirong drove away several other maidservants, leaving only Tao'er to serve her makeup, and let Tao'er witness everything that happened just now.
At this time, after hearing Tao'er's concern and inquiry, Chen Zhirong, who has always disliked Tao'er, looked trusting from the heart, and there was some heart-wrenching pity between his expressions, and said softly: "Tao'er, you have also seen it, master, he is becoming more and more unable to tolerate me!" β
Tao'er shook her head again and again, and said with relief: "Second Miss, don't think about it, the master is just angry for a while, after all, you are father and daughter, as long as the second miss doesn't make the master angry in the future, the master will definitely not embarrass the second miss." β
Chen Zhirong's expression became more and more sad, and she smiled bitterly: "Where is the father and daughter?" I'm just his adopted daughter, and he only took a fancy to my appearance and thought that he could use me to win over others...... But now, he wants to use me to marry Zhao Junchen, the head of the household, but Zhao Junchen doesn't plan to marry me, so his expectations are disappointed, so he is naturally angry, and he puts all the fault on me......"
Hearing Chen Zhirong say this, Tao'er didn't know how to comfort Chen Zhirong for a while, but sighed with Chen Zhirong.
At this time, Chen Zhirong suddenly asked Tao'er: "Tao'er, did you see what happened to my father just now when he reached out to beat me and threatened me?" β
Tao'er's heart was full of sympathy for Chen Zhirong, nodded and said softly: "I've seen it all, don't be sad Second Miss, maybe ......"
However, halfway through the words, Tao'er didn't know how to comfort Chen Zhirong, and the disgust and hatred in Chen You's expression just now didn't seem like an impulse at all.
Chen Zhirong sighed again, but took out a letter from the drawer of the dresser, stretched out his hand to Tao'er, and said: "Tao'er, don't serve me, while your father has not restricted your activities, you secretly go to Zhao Mansion to ask Zhao Junchen Lord Zhao, tell him what happened to me today, and hand over this letter to him...... Now, I can only hope that what happened to me can make Zhao Junchen feel pity and change his mind. β
After reaching out to take the letter handed over by Chen Zhirong, Tao'er nodded again and again, and assured Chen Zhirong: "Second Miss, don't worry, I will definitely tell Lord Zhao everything about today's events, and hand over this letter to him personally!" β
After speaking, Tao'er hid Chen Zhirong's letter in the placket, and comforted Chen Zhirong a few words, and then hurriedly left Chen Zhirong's room and went to Zhao's mansion to deliver a letter for Chen Zhirong.
After Tao'er left, another maid entered Chen Zhirong's room with a rouge box.
This maid's name is Red Sleeves, she is Chen Zhirong's real henchman and maidservant, she has always been spicy and shrewd, the opposite of the innocent and kind Tao'er, and she secretly bullies Tao'er on weekdays, but Chen Zhirong likes Red Sleeves more.
After entering the room, Red Sleeves put the rouge box in front of Chen Zhirong, and began to clean up the rouge box that Chen You had broken just now.
When everything was cleaned up, Red Sleeves came behind Chen Zhirong.
At this time, Chen Zhirong had already recovered the appearance before Chen You appeared, and her expression was focused on dressing up for herself, and the pitiful Chu Chu in front of Tao'er just now was no longer the slightest trace.
Seeing Chen Zhirong's appearance, Red Sleeves hesitated for a moment, but then asked, "Miss, why did you ask Tao'er to deliver the letter?" Tao'er has always been stupid and weak, and I'm afraid it will ruin Miss's affairs. β
Chen Zhirong was still concentrating on gently rubbing powder on her cheeks, as if she was maintaining the most precious porcelain, until it was over, Chen Zhirong said slowly: "Tao'er is certainly ignorant and stupid, but such a person also has her advantages, that is, everyone will not deliberately guard against him, and they will subconsciously believe her speech...... So, it's just right for her to do it! If I send you to deliver the letter, I'm afraid it will make Zhao Junchen take precautions. β
Red Sleeves was slightly stunned, and then understood Chen Zhirong's thoughts, and couldn't help but marvel at Chen Zhirong's scheming, and even took this kind of thing into account.
Then, Red Sleeves looked at Chen Zhirong's somewhat red and swollen cheeks, and was also a little distressed, and asked, "Miss, your left side of your face is a little red and swollen, do you want to take a hot towel to apply it?" β
Chen Zhirong looked at her appearance in the mirror, but she smiled coquettishly, shook her head and said, "No, this redness and swelling is just right!" If there is not even a little redness and swelling, how can I make Zhao Junchen believe me? β

In the evening of that day, after Tao'er came to Zhao's mansion, she soon met Zhao Junchen because she had Chen Zhirong's letter in her hand.
After meeting Zhao Junchen, Tao'er sobbed and told Zhao Junchen what happened to Chen Zhirong, and also handed Chen Zhirong's letter to Zhao Junchen.
After hearing Tao'er's description, Zhao Junchen's expression was slightly serious.
In a way, Chen Zhirong will fall into today's situation, Zhao Junchen also has some responsibilities, plus Zhao Junchen has some care about the friendship between the two sides after all, and also promised Chen Zhirong that he will reach out to help her in the future, so he attaches great importance to Chen Zhirong's current situation.
Especially Tao'er's age is still young, and she looks innocent, and there is no trace of lying when she describes it, but it also makes Zhao Junchen not doubt the truth of the matter at all.
Then, Zhao Junchen opened Chen Zhirong's letter and found that only one line was written in it.
"The matter of reporting the news has been known, and now it is in danger, and I hope you will come to the rescue."
Under this line, there is another address, not far from the Jingguo Mansion, which seems to be Chen Zhirong's plan to meet Zhao Junchen here.
And the time is a quarter of the hour tonight.
After seeing the contents of this letter, Zhao Junchen looked pensive.
At the same time, Tao'er still couldn't stop sobbing and said to Zhao Junchen: "Lord Zhao, you must save my second miss, the old man looks so fierce today, and what do you say Once you marry Cui Qianxue, you will definitely make my second miss look good, and no one will be able to save the second miss at that time...... Also, when the master came to see the second lady today, the people around him were still holding a whip...... The old man also hit the second miss with his own hands, and also dropped the second miss's rouge box, and the second miss's cheeks were red and swollen......"
Tao'er's crying can be described as incoherent and incoherent, but Zhao Junchen still understands it.
In fact, it was precisely because of Peach's performance that Zhao Junchen did not suspect that Peach'er would lie at all.
In the end, Zhao Junchen said slowly: "You go back and tell Miss Chen, I will definitely find a way to help her, so that she can wait for me with peace of mind." β
Because Tao'er didn't know the contents of the letter, she didn't know that Zhao Junchen was implying that she had agreed to meet Chen Zhirong.
Tao'er only heard that Zhao Junchen was willing to help Chen Zhirong, and finally felt a little relieved, and then hurriedly left Zhao's mansion and reported the news to Chen Zhirong.
In the Zhao Mansion, Zhao Junchen looked pensive, thinking about how he should help Chen Zhirong.
However, Zhao Junchen didn't know that when he thought about it like this, he had already fallen into Chen Zhirong's trap.
Chen Zhirong's determination to marry Zhao Junchen is far more resolute than Zhao Junchen imagined!
