Chapter 258 Li Zheng's Leg Is Broken

Outside the room, Yang Manman looked at Prime Minister Li's serious and angry expression, and swallowed nervously.

He walked forward and bowed politely to Prime Minister Li.

This time it was standard female etiquette, no more pretending to be cheerful by clasping fists.

However, when Prime Minister Li saw her in men's clothing, only four words popped up in his mind: inappropriate.

"What exactly happened to Zheng'er's injury?" Suppressing his temper, Li Cheng asked Yang Manman.

The latter hurriedly said, "Uncle, no, Prime Minister, this matter really has nothing to do with me. It was Li Zheng who wanted to participate in the competition and wanted to win the lantern to give to me. I was just encouraging him at the time, but I didn't expect that he didn't hold on firmly and fell down."

Yang Manman originally wanted to put the blame on Li Zheng for everything, but when Prime Minister Li heard this, his anger increased instead of decreasing.

I had clearly warned Li Zheng not to contact Yang Manman again, but not only did he pretend to obey me, but he also took risks for Yang Manman?

He frowned and stared at the person in front of him, "What kind of drug did you give Zheng'er?"

Yang Manman felt unhappy. "Li Zheng and I are just good friends. I didn't do anything. But if he has any ideas, I can't do anything about it."

As she spoke, Yang Manman looked helpless, even a little aggrieved.

This expression worked every time when facing Li Zheng before, but now he was facing Prime Minister Li, and he was naturally not a young and hot-headed boy like Li Zheng. He could tell at a glance that Yang Manman was pretending.

"I advise Miss Yang to stop using this trick. You are a good girl, but you are entangled with a man and ruined his engagement. I really want someone to ask Duke Yang if the lesson from last time was not enough!"

Yang Manman's eyebrows jumped, and she immediately remembered the days when she was under house arrest.

If it weren't for Prime Minister Li and the Lu family, she wouldn't have been locked up for so long. Even Jiang Suining and Chu Jingyue could have used the house arrest to deliberately ridicule her.

Swallowing her anger again, Yang Manman looked at Prime Minister Li and said, "Uncle, you really misunderstood me. I know you may have heard some rumors and thought that I ruined the engagement between Li Zheng and the Lu family, but in fact..."

"That's enough. The engagement has been cancelled. There's no point in you saying any more."

Prime Minister Li interrupted Yang Manman and looked at her coldly. This time he did not correct the address, but turned the topic back to Li Zheng's injury.

"I'll ask you again, do you have anything to do with Zheng'er's injury?"

"No!" Yang Manman denied it extremely quickly.

She was very clear in her mind. Although it was she who asked Li Zheng to go up and she was the one who urged him to do so, Li Zheng would definitely not betray her in front of Prime Minister Li.

Looking at Yang Manman's determined look, Prime Minister Li sneered, and the next moment, a servant hurried over.

"Your Excellency, I have already asked around. It was Miss Yang who asked you to participate in the climbing competition, and she did urge you to do so."

In an instant, Yang Manman's face turned pale.

She didn't expect that as soon as Prime Minister Li walked out of the room, he signaled the servants accompanying him to investigate the matter.

"What else do you have to say now!" Prime Minister Li looked at Yang Manman with disgust.

"Uncle, I really didn't mean it. Besides, I just said it casually. Li Zheng agreed to it himself. You can't just blame me for the injury."

Damn it, it was obviously Li Zheng who didn't hold on tightly. Even if she asked him to go up, she was the one who urged him, but she didn't push him down. She couldn't blame everything on herself because of this.

"Please let Duke Yang make the decision as to whether this matter is your fault." Prime Minister Li said in a cold voice.

When Yang Manman heard that Prime Minister Li really wanted to go to the Duke's Mansion, her face suddenly became even uglier.

After the last incident, her father repeatedly warned her not to do anything to offend the Prime Minister's Mansion. If she brought the incident to her father's attention now, he might put her under house arrest again.

Thinking quickly in her mind, Yang Manman wanted to find a reason to persuade Prime Minister Li, but she couldn't think of anything for a moment.

He was extremely anxious and his face was full of nervousness, unable to suppress it at all.

"Uncle, whether you believe it or not, this matter really cannot be blamed on me. It is better to wait until Li Zheng wakes up before making a decision. I believe she will clear my name."

"Innocent?" Prime Minister Li was so angry at the word that he laughed. "I heard that your sister is well-educated, beautiful and intelligent. I wonder how many families would want her as a daughter-in-law. You grew up in the same family and were raised by the same parents, so how could you be so different?"

Yang Manman hated it most when people compared her with her sister in front of her, and her face fell immediately.

"Unfortunately, my sister is already engaged. Even if the Prime Minister wants Li Zheng to marry my sister, it is impossible. Besides, I am afraid Li Zheng would not want to."

The dissatisfied tone came over him, once again arousing Prime Minister Li's anger.

"Come here, let me take good care of her. I will personally take her back to the Duke's Mansion and hand her over to Duke Yang!"

The last time Zheng'er climbed over the wall to the Duke's Mansion in the middle of the night, he was sent back by Duke Yang, and the incident became known to everyone. So this time, he will give the other person a taste of his own medicine and see what the other person has to say then!

Yang Manman still wanted to argue, but Prime Minister Li gave her a look that made her shiver with coldness, and she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

She wanted to leave immediately, but as soon as she took a step, she was stopped by the servant.

"You have no right to stop me, get out of the way!"

"If it weren't for you, Zheng'er wouldn't be so seriously injured. Do you think I have no rights?"

Looking at Yang Manman who was still trying to struggle to escape, Prime Minister Li narrowed his eyes.

"It seems that you want me to order someone to tie you up before you behave yourself? If they tie you up all the way back to the Duke's Mansion, I'm afraid your dignity as a young lady in the Duke's Mansion will be completely ruined."

Prime Minister Li's words made Yang Manman stiffen, and finally she calmed down.

She couldn't hide the anger in her eyes and glared at Prime Minister Li, but she was really afraid of him in her heart.

After a while, the door opened and the imperial physician walked out.

Prime Minister Li immediately stepped forward and asked, "How is Zheng'er's waist?"

The imperial physician nodded and said, "As long as you take good care of your waist, there shouldn't be any major problems."

Hearing this, Prime Minister Li and Yang Manman both breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the next moment, the imperial physician said, "But the second young master's right leg is disabled. He will have to use crutches in the future."
