Xie Qiao thought of Wen Lanchengâs portrait.
That was right, the best scholarâs appearance was great in all aspects. Although he did not have the purple aura of a powerful person, he was born the best scholar. If a woman could marry him, this marriage would definitely be a good thing.
âFather, find an opportunity to explain clearly to that Master Wen. This person has talent and will definitely be matched with a good lady. I hope he can find a suitable wife as soon as possible,â Xie Qiao said slowly.
âYou donât like him?â Xie Niushan frowned, but he did not want to force his daughter to get married. âOkay, Iâll tell him.â
âHow much good wine have you drunk? Tell the steward later that the gifts should be returned. Our family should also send some gifts to congratulate him on winning the title of number one scholar. In the future, donât use the favor of saving a life to pressure others,â Xie Qiao said to her father.
She was really worried about her life.
Xie Niushan nodded obediently again.
He still hoped that his daughter would agree to give him some silver, but she did not.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
After Xie Qiao finished explaining, she left.
His heart full of anticipation instantly turned to nothing. He sighed faintly, feeling extremely cowardly.
His two daughters had controlled him to the death. There was no bandit in this world who was more miserable than him.
Xie Niushan was full of complaints. He asked someone to send Wen Lancheng a post to meet him at the usual place.
Four hours later, Wen Lancheng was coming out of a bank with a jade hairpin in his hand.
Looking at the hairpin in his hand, he clenched it slightly, and a look of anticipation appeared on his face.
However, when he turned his head, something crashed into his chest. For some reason, he only heard a torn sound and pushed the person away. Wen Lancheng saw someoneâs fair skin underneath⦠the torn clothes.
âAh!â The young lady quickly shouted, âHooligan!â
Wen Lancheng was a little stunned.
His hairpin⦠had torn this personâs clothes?
He looked at the hairpin that was not sharp and then at the misty-eyed woman in front of him. His face immediately flushed red and he hurriedly lowered his head to apologize, âIâm sorry, young lady⦠I didnât do it on purpose!â
He almost stuttered.
Pei Wanyue looked at the man and instantly cried. âHow can I marry anyone in the futureâ¦? Wahâ¦â
She clutched her chest, looking very pitiful as she trembled.
How can she be married in the future?
Wen Lancheng did not know what to do either. He had indeed seen⦠something that he should not have, but he also could not understand why the young ladyâs clothes were so fragile. It was just a bump, and it was actually tornâ¦
Moreover, it was this young lady who had bumped into him⦠and she even called him a hooligan. How was he going to live in the future?
Wen Lanchengâs face was full of tears. When he thought of his savior, Young Lady Xie, he felt even more wronged.
If Young Lady Xie found out, would she think that he was a lecher?
Just as he was thinking, Wen Lancheng was surrounded by people!
A few burly men suddenly appeared from the crowd. âLittle girl, did this man bully you?! Such a lecherous person must be a repeat offender. I donât know how many women he has taken advantage of!â
âSobâ¦â Pei Wanyue continued to cry.
âI didnâtâ¦â Wen Lancheng frowned.
âMy, my. Isnât this the new top scorer? Iâve seen him on horseback when I paraded the streets! So heâs this kind of person!â
âLooking at the ladyâs body. Donât tell me heâs trying to run away from thisâ¦â
Wen Lancheng was like a headless fly, being pushed around by a group of burly men. He was very anxious, but he did not have the strength to fight. He recalled he had an appointment with Master Xie, but he could not move an inch.
âWhat are you doing?!â Xie Niushan appeared.
Wen Lanchengâs eyes were red. It was as if he saw his family. âMaster Xie, save me!â
Xie Niushan kicked away the people who surrounded him easily. He snorted. âDo you guys think you can hurt someone from the imperial court?! Get lost, all of you!â
