Prince, kneel down quickly, the lady can't run away

Chapter 240 Walking Away

"Yes"

Everyone agreed and went into the house. Fortunately, the dining room of the Zhao Mansion was large enough, so they found two long tables and put them together. They also quickly asked the kitchen to cook a few dishes.

They ate and talked, and only Wen Xi took care of Zhao Keke. She first scooped a bowl of chicken soup for her, and then served her favorite braised pork, pine duck, and beef patties...

The bowl was full. Zhao Keke gave him a look to indicate that she couldn't finish it. Wen Xi ignored her and continued to pick up

Zhao Keke stepped on his foot, and he put down his chopsticks in pain. The people who were waiting for him to answer the question looked at him.

"What's wrong?" Wen Xi saw everyone staring at him

"The Fifth Prince asked why your elder brother is here?" Zhao Chengyin said

"Oh, sorry, I didn't hear you just now. I think our purpose is the same. Aren't we all here to visit Coco?" Wen Xi said politely.

Everyone at the table was eating with their own thoughts. Wen Xi turned a blind eye and turned a deaf ear, only focusing on eating and taking care of Zhao Keke. Zhao Keke cooperated with him and stood up to apologize to everyone, "Crown Prince, Second Prince, Fifth Prince, Keke feels unwell all over. I'll go back and lie down first." She weakly fell to one side.

Wen Xi supported her and said, "Crown Prince, please forgive me, Wen Xi will send Coco off."

"I will take you there."

"I dare not trouble the prince, Brother Wen Xi still has to trouble you for a while." Zhao Keke was so weak that she could hardly stand after she finished speaking. After Wen Xi apologized, he directly helped her back to her courtyard.

The second prince and the fifth prince had no room to talk

"I think Mr. Zhao is aware of the 'good reputation' of the Prime Minister's son. Letting them get along privately like this will ruin Miss Zhao's reputation! How can we give Miss Zhao a happy life in the future without an official position?" The prince's tone was belittling Wen Xi. He must take Zhao Keke down. Giving her the position of a concubine would be enough. After all, she was the daughter of a merchant. Without the support of a strong maternal family, she could only be measured by money!

"Your Highness, you are joking. My sister and Brother Wen have known each other since childhood. My father once held Brother Wen and the county lord in his arms. My sister was naughty before and ran to Brother Wen's house and lived there for a long time. They have known each other for a long time and no one would think anything of it. Although Brother Wen is not in business or in government, he has a kind and sincere heart." Zhao Chengyin closed his eyes and boasted. Their family was so rich that they didn't need the ability of their son-in-law at all. He said that his sister couldn't enter the royal family. Even if she couldn't marry a simple ordinary person, it would be safer for the sons of noble families to marry than the royal family. They were all harems that would eat people without spitting out bones.

His original plan was to find a commoner or someone with an inconspicuous official position for his sister, but he didn't expect that he would attract the crown prince, the second prince, the fifth prince, the prime minister's son, and the matchmaker from the Ministry of Rites...

How could it be simple? Just look at the eyes of the Prime Minister's son Wen Xi. If he had to choose one among these people, he would unconditionally support and even help Wen Xi.

"Thank you for coming to help me today." Zhao Keke knew that he came today because he heard something, so he came to cooperate with her in this play.

"I... well, aren't you usually in good health?" Wen Xi thought that she usually enjoyed everything she ate, and she was not like his sister who had a bad health.

"I took a cold shower. My father, you saw it. As long as I'm fine, I have to go on a blind date. What is he in such a hurry for? He's in a hurry to marry me off." Zhao Keke had a little doubt in her heart, but she didn't dare to think about it.

"Has there been any strange incidents in your house recently?" Wen Xi also felt something unusual.

"Well, I didn't notice anything. I just heard from Xiao Tao that my father has been sleeping in the middle of the night recently. Everything else is normal." Zhao Keke did have a fever and had not been taking medicine properly.

"What you need to do now is to take the medicine well and get better quickly. There must be a reason why your father is so anxious to marry you off. Do you need my help?" Wen Xi still touched her head.

"No need, I can handle it myself, so I won't be polite. Anyway, I've made a note of it today. Thank you. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle Nan... the Second Imperial Concubine. After all, we were so close and good friends." Zhao Keke's eyes were filled with sadness.

"What about the future? This is not a solution." Wen Xi felt that this was not a solution.

"So I wanted to marry you, but you didn't want to. I have a solution, so you don't have to hide from me anymore, hehe." Zhao Keke's smile was very forced.

When Wen Xi saw her expression and her words, his heart skipped a beat. He couldn't describe the feeling!

"What do you mean? I..."

"I have found the person who is willing to marry me. I will leave secretly tonight. They just saw me today and they are all meeting here. I believe they will restrain each other and will not come again in the next few days. By then, I will have flown far away and they will not be able to find me." Zhao Keke said gently and firmly.

"Who is it? What kind of person is he? Do you know him? Have you checked him? Does your family know about him? Are they...in love with each other?" Wen Xi was visibly flustered. He had a feeling that if she left, no one would be able to find her.

"He's very good. We've been childhood sweethearts. I've known him since we were young. I've been clinging to him and admiring him since we were young. We're in love with each other,"

"Why haven't I heard of this? Does Jiu'er know about this?"

"Because of the voice issue, we haven't seen each other for a long time. We just met a few days ago. We have made up our minds to be together. He said he would treat me well." Zhao Keke's eyes were no longer sad, but full of stars.

"I haven't seen him for so long. How do you know if he's reliable? What if... what if..."

"He is very reliable. No one can tell me about him, not even himself. So, Brother Wen Xi, thank you for taking care of me these days and for helping me out today. I think I will not..." Zhao Keke seemed to be saying goodbye.

"Zhao Keke? Do you want to abandon your elderly father and young brother and live a carefree life on your own?" Wen Xi's voice was a little excited and seemed to tremble a little.

Zhao Keke shook her head and smiled bitterly. How could it be possible? He always treated her as a nuisance. At most, when she was not annoying, he would take care of her as a drinking buddy.

"My father has gotten used to doing business all year round. Besides, I will get married sooner or later. When Cheng Yin gets married and has children, the Zhao Mansion will be as cold or lively as usual. Cheng Yin is not young anymore and will be fifteen soon." Zhao Keke and the others walked into the yard. Xiao Taoer was decocting medicine. Zhao Keke asked Wen Xi to come in and sit down. Xiao Taoer poured tea for the two of them.

"Brother Wen Xi, we have known each other for a while. I have something to give you. I was planning to have Xiao Tao sneak out of the house tonight to give it to you. It's just right that you're here. Xiao Tao will go get it."

"Miss...Yes." Seeing the determined look of his young lady, he could only take out a box, not too big or too small, like a jewelry box.

"Master Wen" put the peach in front of him

Wen Xi was about to open it but was stopped. "Wait until I leave before you look at it! Leave it for a surprise, hehe."

"Stop laughing, it's uglier than crying. Go take your medicine!"
