Chapter 37 I Knew It! You Have Lustful Intentions (Extra Chapter)

```html

Zhou Zhizhi, however, looked as calm as ever, as if she wouldn't panic even if the sky were falling.

From a young age, she was raised with the rules of a clan woman.

"Your situation has turned upside down, with nowhere to go, and I know you don't want to see me."

Zhou Zhizhi smiled softly.

Shen Hua's face turned cold on the spot.

What does she mean by nowhere to go?

"Miss Shen, though we are not close friends, we have known each other since childhood. If I were you, I would never anger my brother, much less harm Mama. Even if Aunt Shen is at fault, the honor and disgrace of the Shen Family rest on you; you shouldn't act this way."

Zhou Zhizhi advised, "Aunt Shen is still at the government office. Why not personally apologize and bring her back? She is generous and will likely forgive you if she sees your sincerity."

"A family never holds grudges overnight."

Her tone was neither urgent nor slow, as if she was genuinely considering Shen Hua, yet it pushed Shen Hua into the abyss of being undutiful and tyrannical.

Indeed, in the large house, there were many filthy things.

No matter how discordant a family was, they would still cover up scandals for the sake of reputation, yet Shen Hua made a scene known to all.

It is really inappropriate.

Shen Hua's delicate act in front of the Shen Residence couldn't compare to the current Zhou Zhizhi.

She laughed in anger.

"Zhou Zhizhi, have I ever told you..."

She paused.

"You have a big face."

Saying this, she gestured with her hands.

"Did you see that dog on the street?"

Zhou Zhizhi looked in the direction Shen Hua pointed. There indeed lay a vicious dog at the street corner, possibly sick or molting, with a bare back. Its sharp teeth were busy chewing on some food.

Shen Hua: "Your face is bigger than the pancake it's eating."

Shen Hua was in no hurry to return to her room; she found a seat by the window and sat down. Her words were cutting.

"You didn't come here just to lecture me, did you?"

Zhou Zhizhi sat down calmly as well, her demeanor elegant, her upright posture very much like an official's daughter.

She raised her hand to adjust the jade at her waist. From across the table, Shen Hua showed disdain.

"The table is greasy."

The little maid behind her hurriedly took a handkerchief to wipe it: "Miss, please bear with it."

Shen Hua took a tea cup, brought it to her nose and sniffed.

"Old tea is one thing, but even the tea leaves are loose and full of dregs."

The maid laughed: "The tea in the inn is mostly like this. The tea you usually drink is freshly fried and can't compare. I can also fry tea, Miss. You should try my skills next time."

Zhou Zhizhi took a sip, the taste satisfying her tongue, although the tea leaves were broken, it was also Maofeng.

The Zhou Residence would never spend money for such delicacies.

She disagreed.

"Miss Shen, what you do is unacceptable."

Zhou Zhizhi had two older brothers above her, but they were useless, bringing disgrace to the Zhou Family, still not passing the scholar exam.

And Shen Hua's brother was a renowned child prodigy.

Unfortunately, Shen Zhi died, and his honor was buried with him. As for the present Shen Hua, all her former glory had turned to nothing.

Shen Hua's voice was low: "What exactly do you want to say?"

"Did He Chu find you today?"

Zhou Zhizhi's tone was very calm.

"My people saw you pulling him into an alley to talk."

Shen Hua: ?

Who pulled whom!!!

It was He Chu's shamelessness that found her!!

She was shocked speechless by these backstabbing words.

Zhou Zhizhi sighed, gently advising.

"Even though you've fallen into such a state, you should be straightforward."

"He is easygoing and doesn't refuse people, but Shen Hua, he now has a marriage contract with me. You should avoid suspicion and not see him again."

"I came here not to blow things up, nor to accuse you, but to hope you respect yourself, preserve your dignity. So both of us can save face."

Shen Hua: ???

Is Zhou Zhizhi crazy, or is she deaf?

At noon, there were fewer people on the street.

Ji Ge swaggered towards the inn. He had spent the whole night wandering through the brothels.

Unfortunately, despite spending lavishly, he hadn't met Miss Sheng'er, known for her tricks at the brothel.

She was rather lofty.

He was handsome and willing to spend money, and the other prostitutes couldn't wait to throw themselves at him.

He thought, that Miss Sheng'er played hard-to-get very well, and he just fell for it!

What's unattainable is the best!!!

Ji Ge decided to spend lavishly again tonight! He wouldn't believe it otherwise!

"Prepare a few signature dishes and send them to room 2 on the third floor."

After tossing the waiter some reward silver, he swaggered upstairs.

Just at this moment.

"Zhou Zhizhi, if you're ill, go get treated. He Chu is someone I don't want, and if you've taken him, then so be it. Don't stand in front of me and irritate me."

"I am neither as noble as you nor as shameless. Aren't you just asking for a scolding?"

Ji Ge paused in his steps, intrigued: !!! Gossip!

He looked in the direction of the voice!

Fight, fight, fight!

At a glance, oh, familiar face. Isn't this the sickly looking Miss Shen?

Ji Ge eagerly walked over, planning to get a closer look.

"Zhou Zhizhi, you probably don't know."

Shen Hua cleared her throat, her aura expanding. She raised her pinky.

"The Marquis of the Marquis Yangling Mansion in Shengjing has feelings for me."

Ji Ge almost slipped, as if struck by lightning.

Marquis Yangling Mansion?

Is there a second Marquis Yangling Mansion in Shengjing?

What did he miss?

Zhou Zhizhi's gentle face finally showed a flash of surprise. She couldn't believe it and looked into Shen Hua's eyes, trying to spy a glimpse of lying evasion.

"What?"

Shen Hua: "Otherwise, how do you think I managed to bring down the Dong Family?"

She pressed her hands on the table, looking down at Zhou Zhizhi.

"Rest assured, I won't fall twice in front of a rotten stone. Agreeing to the engagement back then was my youthful ignorance, my blindness."

"One is Cui Family Marquis, holding an official post, the other is an insignificant little scholar. Anyone would know whom to choose."

Zhou Zhizhi's initial composure waned a little, her smile becoming strained.

Even if Shen Hua had influential support, she couldn't become the legitimate wife, let alone that with her frail body, she wouldn't live long.

But that was the Marquis Mansion!

If Shen Hua became a concubine, she would still wear gold and silver. Next time they met, even if Zhou Zhizhi became the scholar's wife, she'd be beneath Shen Hua and would even have to pay her respects.

Shen Hua: "If I were you, I would seek to question him, not embarrass myself by coming to me."

With that, she changed her tone, looking troubled: "This is not something worth boasting about, after all, I have no romantic feelings for the Marquis."

Zhou Zhizhi: Numb.

Ji Ge, as if losing his soul, turned and went to the third floor, calmed himself in front of Cui Yun's room, and then kicked the door open.

"Bang!"

The faintly sleepy Cui Yun suddenly opened his eyes: ...

If he could, the first person he'd kill would be Ji Ge.

"Seventh Prince, you'd better give me an explanation."

The man propped himself up, his expression emotionless, his voice cool as spring water.

Ji Ge rushed forward. Totally unconcerned.

"Cui Yun!"

"What's wrong with you? When the young lady is not interested in you, you still eagerly pursue her?"
