kills people, always only killing those who deserve it. But some people, who have held a brush for a lifetime and read the scriptures of the sages for a lifetime, because of them, the innocent people...Chapter 1458: Will a Forced Melon Be Sweet

Li Chen's words, Zhou Changshou did not dare to say much, but Zhou Ping'an's words, Zhou Changshou would not serve him.

With a frown, Zhou Changshou said coldly, "You haven't even touched a woman's hand, talking about men and women with you is like playing the lute to a cow."

Zhou Ping'an's face darkened, and he flushed with anger: "What's wrong with never having touched a woman's hand Haven't eaten pork, can't you have seen a pig run Even Your Highness said you are in vain reading the books of sages, and you still have the audacity to speak to me"

Zhou Changshou let out a cold snort, turned his head away, and pretended to ignore Zhou Ping'an.

Then he bowed to Cai He and said, "Miss Cai He, at this moment I am like a water plant, without roots or support. Besides, I am truly accustomed to this kind of life. Although it suits me, it is not suitable for you. For you to be with me would only bring hardship."

"My lady, you are kind and virtuous. It is merely that the people you have encountered have not been worthy of your goodness. I am no good match for you, and I'm unworthy of your purity. Therefore... my lady, please leave this useless man and seek a better husband. You will surely find happiness."

She picked up her harvest and listened as tears streamed down her face, her expression a picture of heartbreak and despair. It was truly pitiful to behold.

Li Chen frowned, seeing Cai He hesitate to speak. He asked, "Cai He, are you willing to be with Zhou Changshou"

"Willing!"

Cai He gave a very affirmative answer this time.

"Even though he rejected you like that, are you still willing" Li Chen asked again.

"Even if I die, I'm not afraid of him rejecting me" Cai He choked back tears and retorted.

Li Chen nodded in understanding, then turned his head and shouted, "Xu Wei!"

Outside the door, Xu Wei rushed over.

"Bind him to me."

Li Chen pointed at Zhou Changshou and gave the order.

"Hey!"

Zhou Changshou's eyes widened, and he was dumbfounded.

Before Zhou Changshou could even react, Xu Wei had pulled out a bundle of ropes as if by magic and bound him tightly.

With his hands tied behind his back and a long rope twisted around his neck, Zhou Changshou was forced to bend over and hunch his back. Yet, he still struggled to look up at Li Chen and said, "Your Highness, why is this"

"Here's to your wedding night!"

Li Chen pointed at Zhou Changshou's nose and said angrily, "You say you are a water plant, but this palace has given you tasks and titles. How are you still a water plant This palace and the court are your roots. With roots, how could you be without support"

"You said you're used to being alone, but that's because you haven't experienced the joy of a family life with a wife and children. You spend all day daydreaming about becoming a hermit or sage, give it up! You're not cut out for that. Since you have dreams of restoring order to the world, don't waste your time on childish fantasies of living in seclusion."

To put it simply, you are afraid. You're afraid to accept Cai He, and even more so, you're afraid of disappointing her true feelings for you. You always think that letting her go will allow you to start a new life, but you don't realize that she has given all her heart to you. What else can you possibly use to find another good husband

Zhou Changshou is not someone who can be easily persuaded. He struggled for a moment, unconvinced, and retorted, "Your Highness, you can't force someone to like something!"

Li Chen let out a chuckle and said, "Whether it's sweet or not is up to the eater. Don't just comment on this melon randomly."

After finishing his words, Li Chen turned his head and asked Cai He: "Cai He girl, do you find it sweet"

Cai He was a bit nervous. With tears in her eyes, she looked at Zhou Changshou, who had been tied up like a hemp doll, and then at Li Chen. She knew her happiness depended on this wave, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Sweet!"a small gift, not a grand gesture, please accept it with a smile."One twenty liang, twenty-five is just five hundred liang.Still gold!is not silver.The value of gold, it is more than several times tha...
