1246. Chapter 1246 He Is Actually an Uncle
Cheng Zheng looked at the woman in front of him indifferently. She looked about fifteen or sixteen years old. When she saw him, there was a flash of fear in her eyes, and then she calmed down quickly. She was very courageous. , and did not show disgust or fear towards him like ordinary people.
"Who asked you to come here?" Cheng Zheng took a step closer to Zhao Rao and stared at her coldly.
Zhao Rao was forced to take two steps back, "I'm here to find someone. Who are you? Why are you here?"
Cheng Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at her. Seeing that she kept backing away from him, he felt funny in his heart. She should have come here to find him, but she didn't know who he was?
"Stop, don't come over again." Zhao Rao's back was pressed against the wall. She glared angrily at the ferocious-looking man in front of her. Is this man a subordinate of her uncle? "If you dare to come close again, I will tell your general."
"Our general?" Cheng Zheng raised his eyebrows and stretched out his long arms to trap Zhao Rao in his arms. "Have you seen...him?"
"Of course I have!" Zhao Rao said. She had met Cheng Zheng when she was a child. Although they had not gotten along with each other and had only seen him from a distance, she still vaguely remembered that he was a man with a good appearance.
Cheng Zheng looked down at this woman. Has she seen him before? But he had no impression of her at all. Is she the maid at home? No, her clothes didn't look like they were worn by a maid, so they were some relatives in the family. Could it be that his father wanted to force him to get married, so he deliberately found a girl to get close to him?
"Stay away from me." Zhao Rao shouted to Cheng Zheng coldly.
"What's your name?" Cheng Zheng asked softly. Smelling the girlish fragrance emanating from her body, his body felt a little tense. It seemed that he hadn't had a woman for too long. Unfortunately, he couldn't touch the women in this family. It was more convenient when he was in the army. After venting, he could let those women leave, at least without any trouble.
Zhao Rao calmed down and looked at the man in front of him. If you didn't look at the scar on his face, he was a very handsome man. But just because of the scar, he looked ferocious and scary. He was wearing a simple straight jacket. There was also a faint smell of soap, he must have just freshened up... There was no one in the practice room, that's because his uncle didn't like others to approach him.
Isn't the only man who appears here... Cheng Zheng?
Zhao Rao looked at him with wide eyes in shock, "You...are you Cheng Zheng?"
Cheng Zheng raised his eyebrows expressionlessly, finally recognizing her. He held her chin, raised his eyes and looked at her carefully. If he had seen her before, he would definitely remember her identity, "When will you meet?" Pass me?"
It's really him!
Zhao Rao didn't know how to describe her surprise. She really couldn't recognize him at all.
"I...I saw it when I was a child." Zhao Rao said in a daze, her chin hurt a little from being pinched by him. She stretched out her hand to open his clamp, "Uncle, it seems you don't remember me either."
uncle? The interest in Cheng Zheng's eyes was instantly covered with ice. There was only one person in the world who would call him uncle.
That is Cheng Bing's daughter.
So, the little girl in front of me is Zhao Rao?
"Zhao Rao?" Cheng Zheng let go of her chin and stood two steps back. This woman was not brought by his father to seduce him. She was actually his niece in name. "What are you doing here?"
Zhao Rao smiled faintly and said, "Of course I'm here to see my uncle."
Cheng Zheng's eyes were cold and distant, "I don't remember that we have met before. What do you want from me?"
He actually didn't realize that this girl was Cheng Bing's daughter. She didn't look alike. Zhao Rao looked more like Zhao Yong, especially those heroic eyes. It was normal that he couldn't recognize her.
However, he thought that Cheng Bing's daughter would hate him as much as she did.
Didn't Cheng Bing still point at him and scold him? She said that he was born with an ominous nature, and that he could control his father, his mother, and those around him. She did not admit that he was his brother at all. Even though they were not biological, his name was on the Cheng family's genealogy. Probably because of this, Cheng Bing hated him to death. he.
"I was looking for uncle for something." Zhao Rao glanced at his scars, "I remember that uncle had no scars on his face before. Were you injured on the battlefield?"
Cheng Zheng said coldly, "What do you want from me?"
He didn't want to tell Zhao Rao more at all. He had no sibling relationship with Cheng Bing, and he was even more unfamiliar with this niece. She must be up to no good if she came here to find him.
Zhao Rao originally wanted to get close to Cheng Zheng, but seeing his indifferent expression, she knew that no matter what he said, this uncle would not treat her niece differently, so it was better to express his intention directly.
"I heard that my father wants to grant a marriage to my uncle?" Zhao Rao asked in a low voice.
Cheng Zheng gave an indifferent smile, "So what?"
"Will uncle agree?" Zhao Rao looked at him, "Will you marry the princess?"
"Princess, are you very concerned about my marriage?" Cheng Zheng asked lightly.
"Yes." Zhao Rao nodded without concealment, "Uncle, your marriage is very important to me... and the Cheng family. If you marry Princess Lan, it will be detrimental to the Cheng family in the future, and..."
"Is it also detrimental to the eldest prince you want to support?" Cheng Zheng interrupted Zhao Rao, "Princess, you care too much."
Zhao Rao said in a low voice, "I really shouldn't care about my uncle's affairs, but... my mother's death is unclear, and I won't accept it."
Cheng Zheng chuckled softly, "I don't care how your mother died. Speaking of which, Concubine De helped me when she was in the Cheng family. She was even more generous than your mother. Even if I want to Helping is also helping the second prince, isn’t it natural?”
What? Zhao Rao raised his head suddenly, "You are my uncle, and instead of helping me, you want to help the second prince?"
Yes, Concubine De was once her mother's maid, but after entering the palace, she was unwilling to be alone and seduced her father. Otherwise, she would not have given birth to a son and a daughter, let alone harm her mother behind her back. She just I didn’t expect Cheng Zheng to want to help Concubine De.
Cheng Zheng looked at Zhao Rao indifferently. He often heard the emperor mention that the eldest princess was a very smart and decisive woman. The two princes combined were not as smart as her. The emperor often lamented that it would be better if the eldest princess was a man.
It seems that this smart princess is also confused sometimes. Does she want revenge too much, or is she obsessed with the desire for power?
"I won't help anyone. The person I am loyal to is the emperor, not the two princes, and not you." Cheng Zheng glanced at Zhao Rao, "Princess, there are some things that you shouldn't be able to interfere with. You'd better take care of yourself. Well, I won’t give it away.”
Zhao Rao raised his head and looked at him proudly, "There are indeed some things that I can't interfere with, but you are my uncle. Even if you don't help me, you shouldn't hold me back."
Cheng Zheng glanced down at her, "Uncle?"
Her mother had never acknowledged him as her younger brother, and he had never met Zhao Rao. Where could he begin to talk about his feelings for this niece?
