Xie Baiyuan was walking forward when someone suddenly called him from behind. He turned around and saw that it was Zhao Feng.

"Master Zhao!"

"Bo Yuan, no need to be so polite."

"Yes, I wonder what Lord Zhao wants to see me about?"

"Where are you going?"

"go home."

"So early?" Zhao Feng asked curiously. Didn't his stupid son tell him that Xie Baiyuan liked to visit brothels?

"I have always been like this. I only have my mother, brother, and sister at home. In addition, my uncle just passed away recently, so I need help."

"I see."

Zhao Feng was very satisfied with this child, and he was not married yet. If he could become his son-in-law, wouldn't it be a natural thing to let him help him?

He also heard the emperor's intention today in the court, which was to hope that Xie Baiyuan would get married as soon as possible, leave the rear house to his wife, and concentrate on serving the court.

Doesn't this fit his idea exactly? He must not let go of such a good opportunity to show off.

"Master Zhao, what's the matter that you're looking for me for?" Xie Baiyuan asked again. He just wanted to go home now, and the man in front of him might be the murderer of his father.

When he thought of this, a hint of cold murderous intent flashed through his eyes, but fortunately he lowered his head.

"Nothing. The emperor just asked me how you were doing in the Imperial Academy recently. I praised you highly."

"Thank you Lord Zhao for your kindness. I am still a long way from achieving my goal."

"Hahaha!" Zhao Feng stroked his beard, very satisfied with him. "Bai Yuan, if you don't have any work to do today, how about coming with me to my house?"

It's just right to introduce his daughter to him. If they fall in love, he won't have to worry about anything.

Xie Baiyuan instinctively wanted to refuse, but when he thought of the coldness Jiang Feng mentioned, he struggled with his thoughts and replied, "Since it is Lord Zhao's invitation, I dare not disobey."

Only by being there in person can you find the truth.

"Okay! Come with me!"

Zhao Feng was so happy that he didn't expect Xie Boyuan to agree so readily. He was much better than his stubborn father who was loyal to his father.

The two of them got on the same carriage, and he sent a servant back to tell his mother that he was going to visit Lord Zhao and would be back late.

When the servant learned about it, he rushed back to Xie's house.

Along the way, Zhao Feng asked a lot of questions, especially about marriage, which made Xie Boyuan feel a little disgusted.

"Bai Yuan, you are not young anymore. Now that you have entered the court as an official, you should get married as soon as possible and focus on your official duties."

"Thank you for your reminder, Lord Zhao. I have just entered the court and do not understand many things yet, so I have no intention of thinking about marriage."

Moreover, he and the princess have not yet expressed their feelings. What if Miss Murong disagrees? No, he has to make his wings stronger before he can protect her.

"Eh? You don't understand. A man should get married first and then start a career. Moreover, I heard that you have become the patriarch of the Xie family. You should stabilize the harem and find a caring wife."

"Thank you, Lord Zhao, for your concern. My mother is taking care of the backyard at home, and everything is going smoothly. I have never been worried."

"Is that so? It seems I have been worrying too much."

Zhao Feng smiled awkwardly. He was very skeptical. Did Xie Boyuan really visit brothels often? Why was he so disgusted with the idea of ​​getting married? Or did he already have someone in his heart?

Humph! No matter who it is, with his status in the court, who dares not to give him face? Except that the emperor cannot be touched now, he has nothing to fear.

An hour later, the two arrived at Zhao's house.

"Thank you, please!"

"I dare not, Lord Zhao, please!"

"Okay." Zhao Feng walked in front and whispered in the housekeeper's ear, "Go call the young lady."

"Yes!" The housekeeper turned around and went to find Zhao Hui.

Zhao Hui is the daughter of Zhao Feng's second wife. She is now sixteen years old. Although she has not yet married, her arrogance and domineering behavior have become well-known.

In the entire mansion, she was only afraid of two people, one was her father Zhao Feng, and the other was her elder brother Zhao Tuo.

As for other people, she would lose her temper if they did not do what she wanted. Unlike other women, she had a special hobby.

She was having fun, so Butler Zhao walked over carefully, fearing to anger the chicken.

"Miss?" The butler's voice was very low.

He looked at the corpses of the sparrows nailed to the wooden board and felt secretly lost in his heart. These poor little lives, alas!

"Get lost! Can't you see I'm stuffing a sparrow? Who asked you to disturb me?"

"Did the master ask you to come to the study? He said he had something to ask you?"

How could she be making specimens? She was clearly killing animals. She killed all the small animals at home. Even the lady's most beloved lackey was killed by Zhao Hui.

"Dad is looking for me?" Zhao Hui was curious. She hadn't done anything recently. Why did her father look for her when he just came back from court?

"Got it, I'll follow you after I change my clothes, just wait here!"

"Yes, Miss."

After saying that, Zhao Hui asked the servants to set a fire and burn all the sparrows' bodies. The unfinished specimens had to be destroyed.

Zhao's study room.

"Bai Yuan, come and try this tea. I brought it here specially from Jiangnan."

"Thank you, Lord Zhao." Xie Baiyuan picked it up and took a sip.

Zhao Feng then asked, "Bai Yuan, do you have a crush on someone now?"

After hearing this, his face turned red to his ears, but he did not give a direct answer.

Zhao Feng saw this and suddenly realized that it was indeed the case. But it didn't matter. He, Zhao Feng, must get the person he wanted.

"You are General Xie's eldest son. Your father fought desperately on the battlefield to continue the title for the Xie family. As the head of the family, you naturally cannot let him down."

"Of course." Xie Baiyuan replied indifferently. He hated this person mentioning his father. He didn't deserve it!

"Now that you are of marriageable age, you should still find a young lady from an aristocratic family that matches your status and position, so that the reputation of the Xie family can be passed down from generation to generation."

Zhao Feng felt that he had explained it clearly. Could it be that this child was not getting the idea?

But what Xie Boyuan was thinking at this time was that Her Royal Highness the Princess was too outstanding and he was not worthy of her, so he needed to continue working hard.

Seeing that he didn't answer again, Zhao Feng pursed his lips and felt angry. Just at this moment, Zhao Hui came.

"Father, are you looking for me?"

"Hui'er is here?"

When Xie Baiyuan heard a girl's voice, he stood up and prepared to leave.

"Lord Zhao has some family matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now."

"No hurry, no hurry." Zhao Feng comforted him and asked him to sit down. He introduced him, "This is my daughter Zhao Hui."

"Hui'er, this is the third place winner, Xie Boyuan, currently serving as a reader in the Imperial Academy."

When Zhao Hui heard this, she knew that her father was going to choose a husband for her again, and she glanced at Xie Boyuan impatiently.

In an instant, it seemed as if my eyes were fixed and I couldn't move them away.

The man had a handsome face and delicate features, exactly like the husband in her dreams.
