Xiao Ze had been very diligent ever since he entered the Ministry of Justice to report on his duties. In addition, even though Xiao Ze had gotten the champion spot at such a young age, he was actually willing to enter the Ministry of Justice to start from the bottom. For a time, Xiao Ze's reputation was growing, and the emperor was naturally appreciating him more and more.

Two days ago, the emperor praised Xiao Ze on handling a few cases and brought up Xiao Ze as a teacher in the Ministry of Justice.

After leaving the court today, Xiao Ze saw Master Nan Gong and Master Liu conversing from afar. Out of etiquette, Xiao Ze went forward to greet them, and before he could even get close, Xiao Ze heard Master Nan Gong speaking, ”Speaking of my family's Wan Er, she has a really strong temperament, because I forgot her at the Duke's Mansion. She was so sick last night, and threw up after not eating last night, and even had a fever this morning.

NanGong Yi's words were said with a frown, Lord Liu kindly advised, ”My daughter is naturally pampered, but don't be anxious. I went back to the house and shouted at Wan Er, and the little girls that were playing around with each other all calmed down.”

After hearing Lord Liu's words of consolation, Nangong Yi's mood eased a lot. On the surface he still looked a bit worried.

Right at that moment, Xiao Ze who was heading down the hall walked over and greeted him very politely, ”Greetings Master Nan Gong, greetings Master Liu.”

Master Nan Gong and Master Liu looked at Xiao Ze and nodded their heads politely.

”Master Nan Gong, just now, I heard that Nangong Waner got sick, is he currently bedridden?” Xiao Ze looked at Nangong Yi and asked respectfully.

”Yeah, that's right.” Nan Gong Yi felt that Xiao Ze was not bad, his looks were very handsome, his tone was gentle and refined, and his person was humble and polite. He was not bad, thought Nangong Yi, smiling as he replied Xiao Ze.

”I have some relationship with Miss Nangong, and now that she's sick, I should go visit her. I'm going back to my house to change into my official clothes, then I'll visit Assistant Minister’s Residence.”

Nan Gong Yi and Xiao Ze were naturally courteous, after that, Xiao Ze bowed and took his leave.

Nangong Yi looked at Xiao Ze's figure that was walking further away as if he thought of something, and a strange smile appeared on his face.

Seeing that Nangong Yi was looking at Xiao Ze's back as he left, Lord Liu smiled cautiously. He could not help but pat Nangong Yi on the shoulder, ”What are you doing? Do you think that's your son? ”

Nangong Yi looked at Lord Liu, ”I thought he was my son-in-law.”

”Don't go running around that muddy water, Master Xiao already has his eyes on Official Sun's family and has long planned to marry Master Sun. I advise you not to think too much, your Wan Er has already reached the age of marriage, you should be worried.” Lord Liu patted Nangong Yi's shoulder again and said in a serious tone.

However, Nangong Yi did not agree with what Lord Liu had said, ”Old Xiao is just messing around every day, and the matters of the children are matters that he can meddle in. He has high hopes for the daughter of the justice court and doesn't even want to see if his son likes it or not. If his son likes it, then he would have already betrothed to her.”

”Alright, let's go back to the residence.” Lord Liu did not say anything and went straight back to his residence.

Thus, when Liu Ruo ran to Assistant Minister’s Residence, she found that Xiao Ze had already gone there first, but had coincidentally gone there first.
