”I have heard great things about you, my apologies. So you are a Lord Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Government, I am Wen Guang, and have been stationed at the border with the army for many years. I was appointed as a strategist in the army of the Prince Zhan.” Wen Guang immediately became more refined and polite. Previously, he was bare-chested and only had on a casual shirt. Right now he was buttoning up his shirt in a flurry and tidying it up.

Lord Assistant Minister had previously seen a young man practicing martial arts bare-chested in the cold winter months, and judging from his figure, his firm chest was definitely not that of an ordinary person. After hearing the introductions, he realized that he was the advisor in the army of Prince Zhan, so wasn't that the son of Old General Wen? The more he looked, the more satisfied Lord Assistant Minister was. He was really unable to climb up the high branches of the Xiao Residence, Old General Wen should not be that kind of ordinary person.

Thinking about that, Lord Assistant Minister revealed a kind smile, looking at Wen Guang, he also seemed to have some enthusiasm, he even went forward to shake Wen Guang's hand, ”So it's Military Advisor Wen, it's really better to see than hear, Military Advisor Wen is truly a genius on the surface.”

Wen Guang was not back at Shangjing city for a long time, he was cooped up in his own room, with no connections at all. I heard that Assistant Minister’s Residence has a joyous matter to attend to, so I hope that you could give me an invitation to join in the fun.

Lord Assistant Minister did not manage to react, ”A happy occasion? What's the good news? ”

”I heard that Assistant Minister’s Residence and Xiao Residence are going to become relatives soon, and the date has already been set. Wen Guang thinks that it should be about time to go to Spring Festival.”

When Lord Assistant Minister heard this, his face paled, as if he was embarrassed to the point of not being able to reply. It's all just rumors, the Assistant Minister’s Residence and the Xiao Residence aren't really close, and it's impossible to even talk about becoming relatives. I actually heard that Lord Xiao intended to become relatives with Sir Sun from the Supreme Court. ”

”Oh? ”Yeah, looks like the rumors are really scary.” Wen Guang laughed, his laugh had a deeper meaning.

The Lord Assistant Minister still had things to do, so the Duke Palaces didn't stay for long. After sitting for a while, they stood up and bid their farewells to the Duke Palaces.

In the afternoon, Lord Assistant Minister was mostly busy. Since the Liu Estate had paid their respects to him for sending him off, he rushed back to Assistant Minister’s Residence in a hurry.

As soon as he entered the room and had yet to have a sip of hot tea, Nangong Wan'er chased after him like a mad woman. When the assistant minister saw Nangong Wan'er's disguise, he couldn't help but feel that she was not the daughter he had seen at the royal banquet a few days ago.

Then, he looked at Nangong Waner's messy hair which was not recognizable at all, and he was dressed in a long and loose robe. Lord Assistant Minister did not see the deity girl who had descended to the mortal realm in the morning, but he did see the devil's makeup on earth in the afternoon.

Lord Assistant Minister shut his eyes in disgust, ”Look at you, what do you think?!” Lord Assistant Minister thought, if this does not work, then he better not climb onto Old General Wen's relatives.

Madam Yang had never seen Wen Guang's appearance before, so he was not clear about the thoughts and actions of Lord Assistant Minister. He could only see that Lord Assistant Minister looked at him with eyes closed as if he despised Nangong Waner and was a bit troubled and pained, ”Old master, quickly drink a mouthful of hot tea and go feel the cold air around you.”

Madam Yang poured a cup of hot tea for the Lord Assistant Minister and passed it over. Then, he looked up with a pampered expression and asked Nangong Waner, ”Did you come to find your father for something?”

Nangong Waner naturally had something to ask the Lord Assistant Minister, so he asked the Lord Assistant Minister with a smile on his face, ”Father, did you go to the Prince Zhan's Mansion in the morning to give him a Boxing Ceremony?”

”I did, but I didn't see Prince Zhan. The steward of the Duke Palace said that he was going to the palace to accompany the empress dowager on the thirtieth day of the year of the Prince Zhan, according to the tradition of the past, to keep watch over the years with the empress dowager.”

When Nangong Waner heard this, he was very disappointed. Without even greeting anyone, he turned around and quickly walked away.

Lord Assistant Minister was completely confused as he looked at Madam Yang in confusion, ”Is Wan Er that girl … It's happening again?! ”
