Chapter 225 – Look Into Her (2)

Mo Rongzhan looked at Tang Zhen with keen eyes. “Do not hide something from me just because she is an extended family member of Lu Lungzhi.” He issued a veiled threat.

“I dare not.” Tang Zhen hurriedly replied.

He suddenly remembered that Lu Yaoyao had complained about the injustice done to the Ye Family in front of him.

The emperor wanted to look into her. Is it related to this?

Tang Zhen didn’t think much about Mo Rongzhan’s intention in other aspects. In his perspective, Mo Rongzhan was not a person who would be casually attracted to women. It was not that there was no stunning woman who showed him kindness before, and yet, Mo Rongzhan had turned a blind eye to them all.

Even so, the reason plagued him to no end. His mind raced to find a quick answer even as he surmised.

He wants to investigate Lu Yaoyao. He must not like her after he found out that she had once spoken up for the Ye Family

.

“No one is to know that I have asked you to look into Lu Yaoyao,” Mo Rongzhan instructed.

“Very well, Your Majesty.”

Tang Zhen did not dare ask why he wanted to check on Lu Yaoyao. It was his beloved girl. He had looked into her once before and had found nothing amiss. In his opinion, everything she had done was a direct result of Teacher Shan’s incitements. There was no other explanation for her behaviour.

Coming to the capital, she had become closely associated with her teacher who was also the late Wang Fei’s teacher. Obviously, a naive girl like Lu Yaoyao was bound to be influenced considering her master was a prominent figure. Given her age, it was no surprise that her moral compass could be easily swayed and without her knowing, even mislaid. After checking it once more, he would have a clearer understanding and naturally report it to the emperor. He had nothing to fear for the girl of his dreams.

Thus, upon receiving his orders, Tang Zhen was dismissed.

The Lu Mansion

While the imperial study was unsettled, the carriage was still quiet. Ye Zhen and Aunt Cheng had hardly spoken before they had arrived at the mansion
