Chapter 145: Cling to Death

"Go back and tell mother," Zuo Xiangrong said, "tell her it's both King Chu's and my intention to delay your marriage."

"Mother feels the same," Zuo Xiangning said anxiously, sitting restlessly for a while before leaving the Chu King's Mansion.

She had not expected things to become more complicated.

She also didn't know if the words exchanged between King Chu and her sister had any special meanings.

Moreover, she had no idea whether delaying her marriage like this was good or bad.

If it really came down to it, once her elder brother returned to the capital, she planned to find a way to join him at the Border Pass.

It would be quite nice to have freedom there.

Just as her carriage was about to reach the street leading to the Zuo Residence, she saw Gu Zhiqing waiting by the side of the road.

How on earth had Gu Zhiqing managed to track her movements?

"Miss Zuo, I would like to have a few words with you," Gu Zhiqing called out, standing outside the carriage.
