Chapter 748 Ancient Robbery 31
Seeing that she was willing to stay, Fu Wenting secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and almost couldn't help but nodded vigorously, letting her do as she pleased.
He nodded: "Stay in the mansion and don't run around. You can go wherever you want."
Meng Liu ignored him and walked out of the room.
Fu Wenting looked at her back, and the joy that burst out in his heart could no longer be hidden. It was like a bud that grew to cover the sky in the blink of an eye.
She was willing to stay with him.
Having just taken over the court, there were many things to do. As the undisputed crown prince, Fu Wenting was assigned many tasks by Emperor Ming, the former Prince Duan, who now changed the country's name to Zeming.
After being busy for several days, he finally had time to go back home to see Meng Liu.
Meng Liu has been detained in Prince Duan's mansion these days. He has food and drinks, but no entertainment.
As soon as Fu Wenting showed up, she angrily attacked him: "I want to get out!"
"What?" He frowned slightly, subconsciously thinking that she still wanted to leave.
"You have to let me see my family, right? Besides, I'm locked up, and the shopkeepers in my shop can't find me."
Hearing that she didn't want to leave, Fu Wenting's expression looked better.
"Well, I will send a message to the Meng Mansion and ask them to come to see you tomorrow. From now on, the manager of your shop can also come to the mansion once every morning." He did not hesitate and readily agreed to her request.
Meng Liu took advantage of the situation and pressed the issue: "What if I need to go to the shop to check the accounts sometimes?"
"Ask someone to bring the account book over."
She immediately crossed her arms and glared at him: "Fu Wenting, you really want to lock me up?"
Fu Wenting looked at her silently, and then he thought, "If you want to go out, it's not impossible."
"But what?" Meng Liu added with great tact.
"But you have to make me happy."
Meng Liu sat down on the chaise longue, turned sideways and ignored him.
What I mean is that I want her to please him.
What a beautiful thought.
Having not seen each other for a few years, Fu Wenting is now not quite sure of Meng Liu's character.
He thought she was angry again, so he just grabbed her clothes and said, "This is not the way you negotiate terms."
Everything has its own gains and losses. How could she be so overbearing as to make him give in unconditionally?
Meng Liu turned her head suddenly and said, "Conditions? You are not qualified to mention this word to me. Don't forget that you killed my husband. I didn't seek revenge on you because of our past friendship."
Hearing her bring up this matter again, Fu Wenting became angry again.
"What about when he hurt me? Why didn't you seek revenge on him then?"
Meng Liu looked at him like a fool: "Are you okay?"
One is a friend, the other is a husband.
Their statuses were inherently different, and it wasn't Gu Zhige who harmed him, so why would she seek revenge?
He already knew that this woman treated people differently, but no matter how many times he experienced her double standards, Fu Wenting was still angry and heartbroken.
He didn't continue to argue with her and directly told her his purpose: "Move with me to the East Palace, and I can let you go out once every ten days."
His current status is different from the past. The imperial palace is too far away from Prince Duan's Mansion, and it takes a lot of time to travel back and forth every day. Moreover, as the newly-appointed crown prince, many eyes are on him, and he is not safe outside the palace.
Taking Meng Liu into the palace is the best solution. He doesn't have to worry about her safety and can focus on court affairs.
"Go to the Eastern Palace with you? Me? In what capacity? A minister's wife? Aren't you afraid that people in the world will laugh at you for stealing someone else's wife?" Meng Liu attacked with sarcasm.
Fu Wenting was so angry at her that his head was about to smoke.
"You overestimate yourself. I said I have no interest in you, and I mean it. You will naturally enter the East Palace as a maid." He said this while pretending to be calm.
Meng Liu sneered and stood up and walked towards him.
She stretched out her slender jade hand, hooked it around his belt, and whispered softly in his ear, "Really?"
Fu Wenting's hands at his sides suddenly clenched, and his throat rolled up and down naturally, and the scene that had appeared in his dream thousands of times reappeared in this way.
But he couldn't do anything or react because it was a trap.
He could almost foresee what kind of sarcasm and ridicule she would receive once he responded.
Fu Wenting raised his head and looked at her: "What are you testing?"
Meng Liu had a strange expression on his face. Could it be that he had really misunderstood and was being too sentimental?
Fu Wenting loosened his right hand and stroked her cheek.
"You asked me so many times if I was interested in you. Could it be that... you have something to hide?"
He suddenly exerted force, and Meng Liu fell forward with his chin.
Just throw yourself into his arms.
Meng Liu was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and stood up straight in anger, pushing him away: "Get lost."
After saying that, he didn't care about his reaction and quickly pushed the door open and slipped away.
The reason why she dared to speak to Fu Wenting like this was because she was familiar with his character from her past interactions with him.
She couldn't get used to the fact that he suddenly transformed from a little boy into a man, and such a strong man at that.
It’s different, it’s really different.
He was no longer the easy-to-coax child. She hadn't noticed anything about it before, but now she realized the gap between them.
He was a head taller than her, with broader shoulders, and even his voice had changed from childish to the clear and bright voice of a boy.
Fu Wenting watched the person walk away, savoring the touch of his hand, and raised the corners of his lips in satisfaction. In the hug just now, it seemed that she didn't resist him very much.
I really hope she can do this to him more often in the future.
I love hugs and hope I can hug more.
Meng Liu rushed out with her head down, not paying attention to which direction she was going. When her anger subsided, she looked around and found that she had arrived at the small garden of Prince Duan's Mansion.
A bunch of bright red peonies in full bloom came into view, and she picked the flowers angrily.
Naughty flower, who allowed you to bloom so brightly!
After a while of destroying the flower, she still felt inexplicably angry when she thought of Fu Wenting's fearless expression.
In the afternoon, she was arranged to have dinner with Fu Wenting.
The two sat opposite each other, neither of them speaking.
All the food on the table was her favorite.
Meng Liu looked at him without hesitation while eating, with a probing look in her eyes.
Fu Wenting pretended to be calm and let her look at him, chewing and swallowing mechanically, but in fact, the palm of his other hand, which was placed on his robe, was sweating from nervousness.
Putting down the bowl and chopsticks, Meng Liu wiped his mouth and said, "You are now the crown prince. You have detained a widow like me in the Prince Duan's mansion. Aren't you afraid that the censor will report you?"
Fu Wenting was happy in her heart. It turned out that she was worried about me too!
He answered without any expression on his face: "I am the only prince in the world, what do I have to be afraid of?"
To put it bluntly, he was so unscrupulous because Emperor Ming had only him as his son. Even if many censors disliked him, the throne could only be passed on to him in the end.
