My System Is Three Thousand Years Early - Chapter 76:
Chapter 76: Chapter 67: Bloodletting Therapy?_4
No one has ever said, “What’s his status?”
Even more so, they say if the Princely Heir finds out, ten heads wouldn’t be enough for the chopping!
Which Princely Heir!?
Who can chop off his head!?
Who dares to chop off his head!?
Cheng Liunian felt an oppressive gloom in his chest that he couldn’t vent, turning his complexion to the ugliest degree.
At this time, the sound of Bai Shuxuan’s voice slowly rose to his ears.
“Hong Zhu, don’t say that. Maybe this gentleman has something he wants to discuss with me, let’s hear what he has to say.”
Bai Shuxuan said with a smile, her gaze falling on Cheng Liunian and seeming to contain much concern.
“Are you in some kind of trouble?”
“Is your health better?”
Upon hearing what Bai Shuxuan said, Cheng Liunian felt a slight warmth in his heart.
Indeed, surely so.
Miss Bai is truly his fated woman.
She cares so much about his feelings.
Even though his identity had not yet been revealed, Bai Shuxuan was still treating him this way.
This truly touched Cheng Liunian.
And in this moment, Cheng Liunian became even more eager to reveal his identity to Bai Shuxuan.
He is the real Princely Heir!!
He truly is!!
Thinking this, Cheng Liunian’s gaze scanned the surroundings, eventually landing on Hong Zhu.
“Miss Bai, my body is not of much concern anymore, but I indeed have something very important that I wish to discuss with you.”
“Can we find a private place to have a proper talk?”
Hong Zhu, upon hearing this, immediately wanted to say something.
Cheng Liunian was already impatient and pointed at Hong Zhu with a fierce look in his eyes, his voice chilly as he ordered, “Shut your mouth!”
Hong Zhu’s body gave a start.
Clearly, she was frightened by Cheng Liunian’s ferocious demeanour.
It seemed that she did not anticipate this beggar to unleash such violent intensity.
After Hong Zhu’s realization, her face blushed with embarrassment.
Feeling humiliated by being intimidated by a beggar was utterly disgraceful.
But before she could speak, Bai Shuxuan had already pulled her aside.
Asking her to be quiet for a while.
Hong Zhu had already done well enough, any more provocation and this Cheng Liunian might truly go mad.
Bai Shuxuan smiled a little, showing a look that seemed to agree but also hesitant.
Seeing this, Cheng Liunian knew he had a chance.
So he pressed his advantage immediately:
“Miss Bai, it really is an urgent matter!”
“And moreover, it’s related to your lifelong happiness!!”
When Bai Shuxuan heard Cheng Liunian say this, she no longer looked torn and merely sighed softly, saying:
“Well then, since you say it’s urgent, I will listen to no harm.”
Upon hearing Bai Shuxuan consent, Cheng Liunian’s face showed wild joy.
He then tried to take Bai Shuxuan to a remote corner within the courtyard.
But…
Just as Cheng Liunian was about to take hold of Bai Shuxuan’s hand, she subtly stepped back a few paces, causing him to grasp at air.
Cheng Liunian’s face paused in surprise, noticing Bai Shuxuan’s indifferent expression as her smile slowly faded away.
His mood instantly became agitated.
He hastily gestured an apology:
“That, Miss Bai, it wasn’t intentional…”
At this moment, Cheng Liunian had not noticed that Bai Shuxuan’s every move was already stirring his emotions.
He was gradually becoming the very image of a lovesick fool.
Bai Shuxuan’s expression softened slightly, then she said clearly, “My lord, please comport yourself with dignity …”
Cheng Liunian quickly nodded, not daring to offend further.
This was truly a habit he had developed from frequenting brothels too often.
With those brothel women, such actions were of no consequence.
But if one were to be so presumptuous with ordinary women, it would undoubtedly be seen as debauchery.
Luckily it was Miss Bai.
Otherwise, I would surely be in for trouble today.
Cheng Liunian secretly rejoiced in his heart and his fondness for Bai Shuxuan rose another level.
Cheng Liunian led Bai Shuxuan to a secluded corner of the courtyard, and seeing that there was no one around, he began to speak with relief.
“Miss Bai, actually, you do not know my identity.”
Once Bai Shuxuan heard Cheng Liunian say this, she guessed what he was about to say, but still pretended to be puzzled on the surface.
“Your identity?”
Cheng Liunian nodded emphatically.
His expression became solemn, and his bearing shifted to one of nobility.
“I actually am the true Town-Nation Duke’s Heir!”
“And I am the one who is betrothed to you!”
“That Princely Heir in Duke Zhen’s Mansion is just my coachman!”
By this point, Cheng Liunian was gritting his teeth.
“Due to some reasons, to escape the mansion secretly, I found someone who looked similar to me to act as a substitute, to deceive everyone in the mansion, but I never expected…”
“He somehow managed to deceive everyone, my father did not discover the ruse, and he was even able to leave the mansion!”
“Now he has completely pretended to be me, deceiving all of you!”
“You have all been fooled by him!”
Bai Shuxuan’s expression timely became one of shock, her lips turning a tinge of red as if she could hardly believe what she was hearing.
Cheng Liunian took a deep breath, “I know you might not fully understand what I’m saying right now, but I just need you to keep my words in mind.”
“Once I return to the Capital city, I will have a method to contact my mother, and then, my identity can be proven!”
Bai Shuxuan’s brows furrowed slightly, still seeming somewhat baffled.
“You can contact Princess Yuemei?”
“By what means?”
Cheng Liunian smiled slightly, pulling out a string of jade pendant from his collar, “This is the Peace Jade my mother sought for me, as long as I’m in the Capital city, if this jade breaks, she will sense it.”
