Chapter 44 - Hou Guangsheng's uncle

The Zhuo Residence was quiet now, and because of this, Zhuo Baiyuan felt that many of the court officials were already estranged from him.

It was as if he had some sort of infectious disease, and they were all distancing themselves from him.

Zhuo Qingfan received a message from the Ling Mansion, asking him to pay a visit to the manor.

Because he went in a hurry the last time, he didn't bring Little Four a present, and he had even forgotten about her favorite candied fruits. Therefore, on this trip, he especially took a detour to buy some pastries at the Aroma Temple, then bought five candied fruits on the street.

Fu Shaoyuan had always known Zhuo Qingfan from the start, and the two of them had competed in the martial competition the same year. Back then, he had lost to Zhuo Qingfan as well, but he had always admired her, but because he had always been employed at the border, he did not have many opportunities to meet her.

He immediately rode up to him and greeted him with a smile, ”Brother Zhuo, do you still remember me?”

”So it's the son of the Anguo, Zhuo Qingfan greets you.” Zhuo Qingfan smiled faintly.

Of course he knew who this person was, he did not think much of it in the past, but now, there were some matters that he had thought through thoroughly while he was at the Ranging Battalion. In order to not cause trouble for the Little Four and the Little Four, he had smoothed out some of the relationships between them.

And the son of the Anguo in front of him, Fu Shaoyuan, was the one who was going to be married to him.

”It's rare to see Brother Zhuo strolling on the streets of the capital and buying so many things elegantly. I wonder if Brother Zhuo would like to share a cup with me?” Fu Shaoyuan said with a friendly smile.

”Master Fu, I'm sure you know who I am. Right now, the Zhuo and Fu Families don't seem to have any connections, right?” Zhuo Qingfan politely nodded to him.

”Ah?” ”Why?” Fu Shaoyuan looked at him in confusion.

”Seems like Heir Fu doesn't quite understand. Why don't you go back and ask the Anguo? There are some things you understand, I've been invited to attend the meeting and it's inappropriate to be late. I hope that Heir Fu can forgive me. If there's a chance in the future, I'll definitely treat the Crown Prince to some wine.” Zhuo Qingfan gave him another fist and left on his horse.

Fu Shaoyuan stood there in a daze for a long time, still unable to understand. He tightened the reins of the horse, turned the horse around and headed back to the Hou Residence.

After arriving at Ling Mansion, someone welcomed him to the study room.

Chu Yi Chen looked up and saw him carrying something in his hand. Seeing that he was holding five candied fruits in his hands, he couldn't help but shake his head: ”Do you really think that your sister is some kind of snack? She doesn't even have time to eat, so how can she have time to eat these snacks? ”

Zhuo Qingfan frowned, ”Is she busy?”

”I'm a bit busy, but I brought you here today because I have something I want to ask you.” Chu Yi Chen pointed to a chair at the side.

He immediately passed the items to the guard at the side, walked over and sat down, then looked at him seriously.

”You should have heard about the Zhuo Mansion already. What are your plans?” Chu Yi Chen also looked at him.

Zhuo Qingfan blinked in confusion: ”What plan?”

”Zhuo Qinglin probably won't be able to live for long, such a big scandal had happened in the Zhuo Residence, with Zhuo Baiyuan's personality, there must be a way to deal with it, and this method, is to just let the matter rest and let the people die. There is nothing more to say.” Chu Yi Chen coldly raised the corner of his mouth.
