Hidden in the court

Chapter 134 Catastrophe

Zhou Hai was already in a bad mood because his wife came to his house to break off the engagement, and now his situation was turned upside down by his brainless son.

"I'm telling you the truth. Don't even mention that you two are incompatible. Even if you two are compatible, I won't agree to this!"

"Why, father?"

Faced with his son's questioning, Zhou Hai slapped him without hesitation.

"Are you really stupid, or are you just pretending to be stupid? His small Tan family is not a good match for my Zhou family. There is not much benefit in marrying him. You saw just now that Tan Heng is thin and pale. He is a sickly person. Not to mention that he cannot give birth to children for my Zhou family, if he dies at home... Even if you don't care about your reputation, you still have to consider the face of the family."

"But she..."

Unfortunately, Zhou Boxian could no longer listen. At this moment, the only thing in his mind was Tan Heng's angelic appearance. He just felt it was such a pity.

"You still dare but?"

After driving his son away, Zhou Hai was still a little worried, so he sent someone to go to the capital to find his father Zhou Huai and verify the matter of the horoscope.

……

Ji Mingshang and Tan Heng left the house tacitly.

"Let me introduce myself. I am the son of the Prince of Jin, the son-in-law of the Prime Minister, the adopted son of His Majesty, Ji Jun, Marquis of Jiangning, Ji Mingshang. Miss Tan, long time no see."

Tan Heng looked at him with a wary look on his face, but still responded politely, "Why did you help me, and why did you deceive the Zhou family?"

Ji Mingshang smiled calmly: "I am just trying to help others achieve their goals. Don't you also want this to happen?"

"and many more……"

Tan Heng suddenly thought of a petite figure, "You said you are the prime minister's son-in-law? Then Luo Lin, the daughter of Prime Minister Luo..."

"It is my beloved wife, but she has not yet married me."

Tan Heng suddenly realized, "Then the Zhang Tianshi you mentioned before is Zhang Banxian from the capital?"

Tan Heng figured it all out at once. The Luo Lin he had met at the so-called wedding before, and the man who claimed to be her husband, were also from the capital. He had never given Zhou Huai his birth date and time, so it was impossible for him to go to Zhang Tianshi. The only person who could be him was Zhang Banxian from the capital.

Ji Mingshang felt a sense of amusement. It was easy to deal with smart people, but he was still quite surprised. Somehow, when he thought of Zhang Banxian, his head felt a little itchy.

"Zhang Banxian, that's my wife's master, so of course I know him. I just used his name."

Tan Heng nodded but did not tell him that Zhang Banxian had sent her medicine.

Tan Heng thanked him with a bow, but also raised his concerns: "Then I would like to thank Marquis Jiangning here, but Marquis Jiangning just deceived the Zhou family. If the Zhou family sends someone to the capital to verify with Mr. Zhou, I am afraid it will cause a lot of trouble."

However, Ji Mingshang didn't seem to care about it. He waved his hand casually and said in a relaxed tone: "I'm afraid that by the time he comes to verify it, the Zhou family will be gone."

Tan Heng was very confused after hearing this, but Ji Mingshang laughed and explained, "I have always been following the orders of His Majesty. His Majesty is going to take action against the Zhou family. I am afraid that Minister Zhou will be imprisoned when I arrive in Lujiang."

Tan Heng understood the whole story. As the only family of noble birth, it was only a matter of time before the emperor would target the Zhou family. But he was still a little confused and couldn't help asking, "Is it really okay for you to tell me this, a stranger?"

Ji Mingshang curled his lips and answered calmly: "Now we know each other, so just treat each other with sincerity."

Tan Heng was somewhat shocked by his "honesty". Seeing her like this, Ji Mingshang stopped trying to scare her and said, "Actually, I have a question for you."

Tan Heng understood and listened attentively.

"Do you know a man named Zhao Yao? He should have been to your Qing'an City." Ji Mingshang asked.

"But is it the person Ling Zheng mentioned last time?" Tan Heng asked back.

"Ah, Lingzheng, who is that?" Ji Mingshang asked in confusion.

Ji Mingshang was still confused, and suddenly remembered that "Ling Zheng" should be referring to Rowling.

"Oh, yes, yes, it's that person." Ji Mingshang said hurriedly.

As Ji Mingshang looked forward to the gossip, Tan Heng slowly shook his head.

"I don't know him. Is he your friend?" Tan Heng asked curiously.

"Yes, we are all brothers." Ji Mingshang replied.

Seeing the disappointment that flashed across Ji Mingshang's eyes, Tan Heng sighed, thinking that he was missing an old friend.

But how can I help him? Maybe I have seen him before, but that was only during the time when I lost my memory.

"Although I have never met him, since he is your friend, he must be a good person." Tan Heng comforted.

"Well, he is indeed, uh... should be considered a good guy. Also, is this considered a good guy card?" Ji Mingshang nodded in confusion.

This made both of them silent. Tan Heng naturally didn't know what the good guy card meant, but when it comes to your friend being a good person, why are you still not sure?

After a moment of silence, Tan Heng broke the atmosphere: "Do you have anything else to say?"

"Yes! I want to know why you rejected the Zhou family? Do you dislike marriage and think it destroys your freedom, or do you not like them, or do you already have someone in your heart?"

After he finished asking, Tan Heng looked at him with a strange look again.

"Ah, it's just my personal hobby, don't mind it."

"No, it's because I'm really weak and sickly, and I have a serious illness, so I would rather die alone than delay others."

After that, Tan Heng bowed and left, leaving Ji Mingshang alone, lost in thought...

After arriving in Lujiang City, Ji Mingshang and Dashan simply changed inn to where the Tan family's team was staying. He wanted to verify something.

Tan Heng was riding in a carriage through the downtown area. When he looked out the window, he saw a familiar sign.

"parking."

Tan Heng got out of the car, walked to the side of the road, and bowed: "Thank you for the medicine, Immortal. Yugui thanks you."

That’s right, the man was still dressed in that familiar outfit, and the three words “Zhang Banxian” were fluttering in the wind.

The moment Zhang Banxian saw him, he supported her and said, "Hey, hurry up, you are not in good health, and I can't bear it, so let's forget about this."

"I won't talk to you any more. Counting the days, your medicine is almost finished. I came here specially to deliver it to you."

As he spoke, he pulled out a gourd, which contained the same pills as last time, but this time there were obviously many more.

"Remember to take one pill a day. I'm going on a long journey this time. I calculated that two months from now, you will have a calamity that can only be overcome by someone with great luck. I believe you have also seen my disciple. Two months from now, you will go to the capital. Be sure to stay by her side for a day. This will ensure that you are safe."

Although Tan Heng was somewhat shocked when he heard this, he still nodded seriously.

"Thank you, Immortal. I'll make a note of it."

"Well, remember, two months from now, go find her and he will meet her."

The voice gradually faded away, and when she looked up again, there was no trace of Zhang Banxian.
