Chapter 481: The Heartless Regent King vs. the Scheming Princess 26

Lu Zhihuan returned to her residence. Xuancao saw her messy hair and hurried over.

"Miss, you are... wuwu, you have been wronged."

Xuancao hurriedly pulled her into the house and let her sit on the bed and wait.

She was going to fetch water for the young lady to take a bath.

Lu Zhihuan put Xie Zhao on the bed, but he held her arm tightly.

"Meow"

Where are you going?

Lu Zhihuan almost couldn't hold back his performance. The little kitten was so cute that he really wanted to grab him and suck his lips.

There was no choice but to pick him up again, and then stood up to get the small box on the dressing table.

There was some small change inside. Lu Zhihuan took a few more clothes and packages and returned to the bed, putting these things together.

"Miss, the water is ready." Xuancao came over to invite her.

Lu Zhihuan raised his hand and touched Xuancao's little head. "Okay, Xuancao, go find a basket for your sister."

"Okay." Daylily never asked any more questions. She wiped her tears and ran away.

[Do you want to go back with me?]

Xie Zhao guessed that the basket must be used to hold him.

Lu Zhihuan stopped what he was doing and said, "I won't go. I'll let Xuancao take you back and let her stay in the palace to work, okay?"

Xie Zhao tried hard to raise his head in her arms.

[Don't let yourself be sad because of other people's mistakes.]

Lu Zhihuan hung her head, tears falling like beads from a broken string, her voice choked with sobs, “Maybe this is fate!

From the moment I was switched, I was destined to spend my whole life struggling in endless pain and exploitation, without any control over myself.

What should have been a life of luxury turned into a life of being naked and eating leftovers, and having to sleep in straw huts like animals.

During those six years, I didn’t have enough to eat or warm clothes to wear, but I tried my best to live every day.

Later, I unexpectedly learned about my life story, and I was so relieved. I felt that I could finally escape these miserable days.

So I started wandering around, trying to find out about my own life experience. Even if it was like looking for a needle in a haystack, I never gave up.

I was too young at that time and eventually succumbed to reality. An illness made me forget everything.

After several twists and turns, she was sold as a child bride, doing laundry, cooking, chopping wood, fetching water, and all the dirty and tiring work, working hard and without complaint for ten years.

Finally, my fiancé passed the imperial examination and I thought the clouds would finally clear and the moon would appear."

Xie Zhao's cat-like face was serious, and he frowned when he heard the word fiancé.

Lu Zhihuan continued, "But people are treacherous, and what ended up happening was being sold into a brothel. My mind was hazy, but I remembered things that happened before I was six years old.

This rekindled my hope, and after many twists and turns, I finally returned to the home I had longed for.

But this family was far from what I had imagined. I had just returned home, and I was being used as a tool to marry into a wealthy family.

I was afraid that I would not fit in, so I told myself that women have to get married eventually.

So I took their feelings into consideration, endured all my unhappiness, and catered to them.

But what did I get in return? Suspicion, distrust, and being forced to prove my innocence without any dignity."

Her shoulders rose and fell, and she sobbed.

Xie Zhao raised his little cat paw and patted her arm.

[You've been searching for your relatives for sixteen years, and you've experienced every hardship. Now that you've returned, you haven't found warmth, but instead have added to your worries. Why do you still cling to them?]

Lu Zhihuan touched his little paws and said, "Why, why no matter what I do, I don't get any favor from God. I'm really tired!"

Hemerocallis had been listening outside the door. She put the basket by the door, wiped her tears, and pushed the door open to enter the house.

"Miss, let's take a bath first, lie down and rest for a while, and we can talk about anything after we wake up.

Wherever you go, daylilies follow you."

"Silly girl."

Lu Zhihuan then got up to take a shower, and Xie Zhao was put on the bed.

Only after watching Lu Zhihuan walk away did he start to think.

[Even she realized that if she was in trouble, he would definitely be by her side.]

She had a rough life and a tragic fate. As the regent, he held a high position and great power, so he was naturally the person in the world who could best protect her.

It seems that she is a person with great luck.

Since it is destined, what's wrong with me protecting her for the rest of her life?

What identity should I find?

[I'm destined to be childless in this life. Since there's a 12-year age difference between them, actually... it's OK to adopt her as my adopted daughter.]

Lu Zhihuan: “…”

Lu Zhihuan gritted her teeth. If he dared to let her call him dad, she would pounce on him on the spot.

Xie Zhao imagined that she would call him father obediently...

My mind couldn't help but think of him turning into a little parrot and being stuffed into her clothes...

And when he turned into a big bad wolf, he slept with her every night...

[no.]

[It's easier to accept her as a stepsister.]

He lowered his head and sighed.

He lowered his head and found a booklet beside his pillow.

After two scrapes with his little claws, the booklet came out.

It took some effort to open the booklet.

[It turned out to be a portrait of a man. This was the man she wanted to meet.]

[This person looks quite familiar.]

[The younger brother of the General of the Cavalry?]

[This person has evil intentions and is definitely not a good match.]

He raised his little paw and scratched it a few times, tearing the page of paper into pieces.

The second portrait was revealed.

[The eldest son of the Grand Tutor's family? He hasn't even married a wife yet, but already has two concubines? That's outrageous.]

Lu Zhihuan: It was normal in ancient times, right?

After thinking about it, he raised his little paw and pulled it off.

The third portrait.

[Only eighteen. No, too young.]

With a few swishes, it was torn into pieces.

The fourth portrait.

[They do match in appearance, but apart from their looks, they have nothing else to offer.]

He waved his little paws without hesitation, swish, swish, swish.

The fifth portrait.

[Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.]

He tried to recall it.

[He was slovenly and unkempt all day long, and he didn't go home for twenty-eight days a month.]

The little paws swish again.

The sixth portrait.

[Heh, is such a dandy boy worthy of this?]

Swish swish!

The seventh portrait.

[Twenty-seven? Too old. You're already as old as me!]

shhhhhhhhh...

Gone?

[There are countless good men in the capital, how can you choose from just a few misfits?]

Xuancao heard the sound and came out, and the bed was already covered with shredded paper.

She hurried forward to make the bed, "Oh you bad little kitty."

When Xie Zhao saw her coming, he quickly hid under the bed.

"You're quite clever, how could I possibly hit you?" Xuancao muttered as she collected the scraps of paper and ink. "The young lady hadn't even taken a closer look at it, how did you tear it apart?"

[They are just a bunch of crooked things, so I'd rather not look at them.]

Xuancao finished cleaning up quickly and called out to the inner room, "Miss, please come out soon after you finish washing. Xuancao, go get some charcoal."

She got up and left without waiting for a response.

Xie Zhao lay on the bed and waited for a long time, but she didn't come out.

[Why did it take so long to wash?]

[broken!]
