Hidden in the court

Chapter 133: If you can break up a pair, it’s a pair

Tan Heng continued, "Although my father knows your uncle, I have no chance to be with the eldest son. I dare to ask for your forgiveness, Uncle Zhou."

Tan Heng took a deep breath. Zhou Hai's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He frowned, obviously feeling surprised and uneasy. He sighed softly, a trace of regret flashed in his eyes, but he still wanted to fight for it, and said softly: "Yugui, what are you dissatisfied with my Zhou family? We can talk about it later. This is a personal matter, please think twice."

Tan Heng shook his head slowly: "Uncle Zhou, I have no complaints about the Zhou family, but I have been weak and sick since I was a child, and now I am suffering from a serious illness. I don't know how long I can live. I would rather die alone than delay your son. I have thought about it again and again, and this decision is not an impulse. I also know that marriage is a big deal and should not be taken lightly. If we force the marriage, I am afraid it will be more embarrassing in the future. Uncle Zhou also knows the pros and cons, and I hope you can help me."

Zhou Boxian, the person involved, was very anxious and hurriedly stepped out from behind his father, wanting to step forward to argue. However, Zhou Hai glared at him sternly, so Zhou Boxian dared not say another word and could only retreat behind his father obediently.

He was anxious but helpless. He could only grab the corner of his father's clothes and pull it continuously, hoping that his father would understand what he meant.

Zhou Hai naturally understood his thoughts, but looking at his son's impatient look, he couldn't help but sigh deeply. Given his son's current state, it would be difficult for him to achieve great things, and it was no wonder that others looked down on him. He understood that his son was really useless. He only needed to marry into another family, and at this moment, he couldn't blame him too much.

Ji Mingshang, who was sitting next to him, tried hard to hold back his laughter and almost laughed out loud. He thought Tan Heng was really funny. His attitude of neither servile nor overbearing, gentle words but slapping others in the face with every word made people laugh.

He secretly sighed. He had only observed Tan Heng from a distance before or had never looked at him carefully. He didn't expect that today, when he sat here and observed him closely, he would find that Tan Heng was indeed very outstanding in appearance.

Tan Heng has exquisite appearance and unique temperament. Such appearance and temperament complement each other, making her stand out from the crowd, and can even be described as having "the appearance of an immortal".

Ji Mingshang couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He now knew that Tan Heng didn't know Lao Zhao, and it didn't seem like she was lying, because she had no need to deceive Luo Lin. And that fellow villager knew Lao Zhao, which was true. However, judging from appearance and temperament alone, that fellow villager obviously lost too much.

However, based on Ji Mingshang's understanding of Lao Zhao, he really couldn't resist the liveliness of his fellow villager. He would be hooked before he could even say three words. As for the lethality of the one in front of him, it was still debatable.

Looking back at the scene in front of him, Ji Mingshang became even happier.

Zhou Hai saw the situation become like this, and he couldn't help but feel anxious, and wanted to fight for it again. So, he cast his eyes to Ji Mingshang, hoping that he could say a few good words for him.

However, Ji Mingshang did not play by the rules. Instead, he looked at him with a joking expression and even made a face at him, leaving Zhou Hai confused.

This action naturally attracted Tan Heng's attention. He looked at the two of them in confusion, wondering what they were doing.

Could it be that he wanted to say something good for Zhou Boxian? Since he came in, the son of the King of Jin has been sitting there in a nonchalant manner, and he doesn't look like a serious person. I don't know him, why does Uncle Zhou think he can persuade me?

Ji Mingshang didn't know that after this round he had already formed a basic impression of Tan Heng.

But what Ji Mingshang said the next moment stunned everyone.

"Why are you looking at me? I'm not familiar with her. If she doesn't like your son, then she doesn't like him. With your Zhou family's financial resources, can't you find someone else?"

"Ah this..."

Just as he was stunned, Ji Mingshang started to talk nonsense again, "Hey, Mr. Zhou Huai..."

Tan Heng didn't know what he meant, but Zhou Hai knew it very well and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Poor Zhou Boxian didn't know the seriousness of the matter. Seeing Ji Mingshang insulting him like this, he still shouted: "I have no grudge against you. Marquis Jiangning not only insulted me like this, but also mentioned my grandfather. Why?"

Zhou Hai was really shocked by his son's stupidity. If Tan Heng had not been here at this moment, he would have slapped him in the face.

He kept weighing the pros and cons in his mind, and looked at Ji Mingshang again while thinking.

But he spoke again: "I'll tell you the truth. I was really entrusted by your old man Zhou Huai to come here specifically for this matter. The old man asked the world-famous Zhang Tianshi to calculate the horoscopes of these two people. They don't get along, so the old man asked me to stop this."

These words stunned everyone. It was obvious that the Zhou father and son had not expected that there was such a secret.

Tan Heng was a little bit unbelievable. She didn't know Zhou Huai, and his horoscope had never been revealed. How could Ji Mingshang say these words? And the Zhang Tianshi he mentioned, if it wasn't the Zhang Tianshi from Mount Longhu, then could it be the Zhang Banxian who gave her the medicine...

Zhou Hai then looked at Tan Heng again and said softly, "Yugui, is this true?"

"Uncle Zhou, yes. A few days ago, Minister Zhou sent someone to ask for my nephew's date of birth."

Ji Mingshang didn't expect that Tan Heng would react so quickly and immediately interrupt him.

Zhou Hai's heart finally died, and he closed his eyes as if accepting his fate.

The whole place was silent, with only Zhou Boxian still nagging...

"No, did Grandfather remember my horoscope incorrectly?"

At this moment, Zhou Hai finally couldn't help but speak: "I understand, it's my son who is useless! He is not worthy of me, so let me take the things back with me. Even without this marriage, our two families can still get along well. You finally came out, so have a good time in Lujiang."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then showed surprised expressions.

Tan Heng didn't say much and bowed and said goodbye.

"Goodbye, nephew."

Ji Mingshang also stood up and said, "Since the matter is over, I will take my leave."

Ji Mingshang also left, leaving only the Zhou father and son still in a daze.

Zhou Boxian, who had been silent for a long time, now had something to say, "Father, I really..."

Zhou Hai sighed, "Shut up, I know you like her, but she doesn't like you. Plus, your grandfather has calculated it, so I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible. I will find you a good match later."

"But I just like her!"

I don’t know what happened, but Zhou Boxian, who had been timid for a long time, suddenly stopped being timid and spoke with his neck stiff.

"You like her, don't you? You just saw that she's pretty and you were attracted to her! I don't even want to say anything to you, have you ever seen other girls?"
