Daughter of aristocratic family

Chapter 82 Chance Encounter
  When he went to Jinzun Tower for lunch, Yun Hao couldn't hold it back after all, "I was also at the Confucian Temple on the day of the literary meeting."

"Did you see me?"

"Ah."

"Then why didn't you call me?"

"I saw that you were having a good chat, so I didn't go over to disturb you." Yun Hao said dullly.

Zhao Wangshu's eyes turned slightly, "My eldest brother took me there. I met his friend halfway, so we went together. He was introducing the Confucian Temple to me and my eldest brother, and he didn't chat."

"This fish is good, you can try it." Yun Hao raised the corners of his lips slightly.

Zhao Wangshu nodded and smiled as well: "This sea bass is tender and tastes really good."

While the two were having lunch happily, it started to rain. Looking at the pattering rain outside the window, Zhao Wangshu said, "It's raining. We have to finish eating and go back soon."

"Don't worry, it's a rainy day and there won't be many people here. We can eat slowly." Yun Hao enjoyed the time alone with Zhao Wangshu, and he wanted this beauty to last a little longer.

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, with no intention of stopping. Zhao Wangshu had finished two plates of pastries and drank a pot of tea, "Yun Hao, I want to go out for a while."

Of course Yun Hao knew where she was going and nodded, "Go ahead."

Zhao Wangshu hurried to the clean room. After urinating, he came out and met Liu Qiangwei, who had also come to urinate.

"Miss Zhao."

"Miss Liu."

They greeted each other politely and passed each other.

Back in the private room, Zhao Wangshu mentioned Liu Qiangwei to Yun Hao, "She should be here with the third prince."

"The third prince likes to eat fish and meat."

"Eating raw food in this cold weather, eh." Zhao Wangshu's face was full of disgust, "Rubbing hair and drinking blood."

Zhao Wangshu's focus made the smile on Yun Hao's face deepen.

He deliberately stated the preferences of the third prince to imply that every move of these princes and courtiers was under the control of Long Tingwei.

What Long Tingwei knew, the emperor also knew.

The two drank tea and chatted while waiting for the rain to stop.

It was almost midnight, but the rain not only didn’t stop, but got heavier and heavier.

"When will it rain?" Zhao Wangshu opened the window and looked outside.

Yun Hao stood up and walked to the window, "If you can't stop for a while, ask the store to borrow an umbrella and I'll take you back."

It rained only in the afternoon, and there were many customers trapped in Jinzun Tower. Although the store bought umbrellas from an umbrella shop, there was still enough for every customer to have an umbrella.

Yun Hao can borrow two umbrellas, which is already good.

As he walked downstairs, he passed a private room, the door opened, and the third prince and Liu Qiangwei walked out.

"Master Yun, what a coincidence." The third prince greeted with a gentle smile.

"Third Prince." Yun Hao bowed his hands in salute.

"I didn't expect that Miss Zhao and Master Yun are old acquaintances." The third prince looked at Zhao Wangshu with a faint look.

Yun Hao took a step forward, hid Zhao Wangshu behind him, and said calmly: "Winter has begun and the weather is cold. The third prince should eat less raw food as it is not good for the body."

The third prince's expression remained unchanged and his pupils shrank, "Thank you, Lord Yun, for your concern."

"Third Prince, please give way." Yun Hao said politely.

The third prince took a step back and watched as Yun Hao turned sideways and put his arm around Zhao Wangshu's shoulders, leading her downstairs and towards the door.

They walked out of Jinzun Tower, and the raindrops made a crisp sound on the umbrella.

Yun Hao took back his hand, "Sorry, I just offended you." Zhao Wangshu shook his head, "Will you offend the third prince by doing this?"

"No." Yun Hao smiled lightly.

Even if you are offended, so what?
  The third prince had to please him if he wanted to get that seat.

At this time, there was deep water on the street. They walked carefully on the stone steps towards the carriage. Suddenly, Zhao Wangshu's foot slipped and his body leaned forward.

Yun Hao quickly supported her with quick eyes and hands, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Zhao Wangshu said with a slight smile.

Sitting in the carriage, we arrived at the entrance of Guizhi Lane. The rain stopped. Zhao Wangshu smiled and said, "Master Yun, thank you for sending me back."

"Miss Zhao, you're welcome."

The two pretended to be unfamiliar with each other's conversation, which amused themselves, and they looked at each other and smiled.

Zhao Wangshu walked gracefully into the alley. Yun Hao looked at her slender back with a flash of reluctance in his eyes. It was not until her figure disappeared at the entrance of the alley that he reluctantly turned around and left.

Two days later, Wang Fu's story about raising two outer rooms seemed to have wings and flew into various mansions. Mrs. Zhao also heard about it, but she didn't believe it.

"Boss, go check and see if someone is framing this."

Zhao Kuang frowned, "It's not a frame-up, the two outer chambers have already entered the Hejian uncle's house."

These days, he has been on good terms with Uncle Hejian for a long time. If he doesn't distinguish between his concubine and his concubine, bad things will happen as expected.

Mrs. Zhao sighed, "If this marriage doesn't work out, let's choose another one for her."

Wang Fu's reputation has become so bad. If she still insists on marrying Zhao Yufang to him, the Zhao family's reputation will no longer be wanted.

Zhao Kuang thought for a while and said, "Zhan Shifu Zuo Zhongyun has a second son who is not yet married."

Zhan Shifu is mainly responsible for the internal affairs of the princes and has access to the princes. Although Zuo Zhongyun is only a sixth-rank official, he is worthy of winning over.

Mrs. Zhao nodded, "This marriage is okay, I will let the second daughter-in-law do it."

Zhao Yufang, who was in the backyard and had no information, didn't know about this yet. She was so worried that on her day off, she went to Guizhi Lane to find Zhao Wangshu.

"Everyone has heard about Wang Fu's scandal. The old lady will not let you marry him. However, Sister Fang, the old lady will definitely help you find another marriage. You have to make plans early."

Zhao Yufang smiled bitterly and said: "Sister Shu, could you please help me choose a suitable person?"

Without waiting for Zhao Wangshu to answer, she hurriedly said: "Sister Shu, I know I'm a bit pushy, but I can't think of any other way, I"

As she spoke, she covered her face and choked with sobs: "Why is it so difficult to be a human being?"

"Sister Fang, even if I can help you find the right person, the old lady may not agree to you marrying him." Zhao Wangshu said calmly, and did not embrace Zhao Yufang because he was sad.

Zhao Yufang let go of her hand and looked at her blankly. She didn't expect Zhao Wangshu to say this. She calmed down and said, "Sister Shu, what should I do?"

"Do you know why I moved out?"

Zhao Yufang shook her head. Zhao Wangshu did not cover up for Mrs. Zhao and the others, but told her the truth what she heard from Tianying.

Zhao Yufang opened her mouth in surprise, and then said after a while: "What a shame."

"Sister Fang, if you want to get rid of the control of the old lady and the others, you have to seize their leverage and not live a dirty life." Zhao Wangshu reminded her calmly.

Zhao Yufang heard the meaning of her words, nodded and said: "Sister Shu, I understand, I will try hard to find clues."

"Don't alert the enemy, I will help you after I find the evidence." Zhao Wangshu said.

"Thank you, Sister Shu." Zhao Yufang stood up to say goodbye. She couldn't wait to find clues.

"Sister Fang, I will find a way to destroy the marriage that the old lady has found for you and buy you more time."

Zhao Yufang thanked her gratefully, and Zhao Wangshu sent her out.
