A small drop of blood on Zhou Dun’s chest was sent back to the Zhou residence by his good friends. He didn’t even have the thought of tidying up and directly found Chancellor Zhou’s study room, insisting that Chancellor Zhou submit a memorial to report Xie Xian for committing murder in public.
Chancellor Zhou was in his fifties. He was a thin and small old man with a gloomy expression. He pointed at Zhou Dun’s nose and scolded,”
“Do you think your father is the emperor? One or two of them are so troublesome. Fourth Mother shamelessly wants to kill someone for a man. You are even more unambitious. You were bullied outside and you only know to ask me to avenge you when you come home.”
“Because of your fourth sister, our Zhou family’s name is still hanging in front of the emperor! It was not clear whether he would be beaten or punished. It was fine if he did not tuck his tail between his legs, but he still flaunted and caused trouble everywhere. You’re afraid that the emperor will forget about us, so you want to remind people from time to time, right?!”
“It’s not good to provoke Xie Xian, that flattery villain. If you didn’t cause trouble, I would be afraid that he would stir up trouble inside!”
Chancellor Zhou, who was usually a friendly person, was now hopping mad from anger. Zhou Dun immediately cowered.
” I didn’t provoke him, it was Xi Jiu-”
“Who provoked him? Who should be the one to fight? What’s the point of you jumping up and down?”Chancellor Zhou was disappointed that he failed to live up to his expectations.” If you had half of your brother’s brain, you wouldn’t have ended up losing your position.”
“Stay at home obediently! Don’t go out and cause trouble. Our family can’t afford to offend you now, so stop for now!”
After being scolded by Chancellor Zhou, Zhou Dun came out the same way he went in. His clothes were stained with blood and his teeth were leaking air. The anger in his heart was not suppressed by his father’s scolding at all. Instead, it burned even brighter.

After Pan Shuo finished scolding them, he was in high spirits. He brought Xie Xian and the other two back to his residence outside the East City for a banquet.
Although Pan Shuo’s father had died early, his aunt, the Empress Dowager, had doted on him and rewarded him from time to time. His food and clothing were even better than the emperor’s sons.
The mansion had carved beams and painted pillars, and it was extraordinary.
Yang Shao drank absent-mindedly. He drank three or four times but did not refill his glass.
“Jing Yun, do you have something on your mind?”Pan Shuo drank so much that his tongue was a little big. He trembled as he picked up the wine jug and refilled Yang Shao’s wine.
Xie Xian glanced at it.
Yang Shao seemed to have made up his mind.”
Then, his aura dissipated a thousand miles. What do you think?”
Pan Shuo was so scared that he burped. Was there really something going on between these two? Then why did he feel like he was bitten by a mad dog when he heard those people say bad things about Lady Xiao in the guest house?
Originally, he had thought that Xie Xian was not married, and Lady Xiao was extremely beautiful. The two of them were a match made in heaven. Now, looking at Yang Shao, he was handsome and handsome, and was a match made in heaven with Lady Xiao.
In short, looks were justice. These three people had good faces, so they were suitable no matter how they matched.
She inexplicably thought of Yuan Chen’s hobbies, Xie Xian and Yang Shao…In fact, it was a pleasing sight to the eye when placed together.
“I think so. Hey, what’s the use of asking for our opinions? If you two like each other and want to marry, then marry. You’re a third-grade general now. Other than those aristocratic families, it’s rare for someone as young and promising as you to hold a high position.”
“It’s not mutual affection.”
Yang Shao frankly grabbed the wine that Pan Shuo poured and drank it in one gulp.
Pan Shuo saw that the wine was gone and continued pouring. Yang Shao saw that there was wine in the cup, so he continued to drink. The two of them went back and forth, and Yang Shao drank more than ten cups and a pot of wine.
Yang Shao replied,”It’s me who admires Lady Xiao.””
“Are you interested in my face?” Pan Shuo laughed like a thief.
It hit the center of the rake.
Even he himself felt that it was fake to say that he did not fall for her beauty at first.
No matter where or when she was, she would definitely be the center of attention. It was impossible to pretend not to see her. She was too good at fighting.
However, after getting to know her, he liked her personality and her way of doing things. In short, she had the appearance that he liked. He liked everything about her.
“Now, there are rumors about her and her everywhere. It’s bad for her reputation. She’s such a good person…Since the engagement has been canceled, do you think I can-”
“If you like her, then ask her. Why are you asking us? We’re not her.” Pan Shuo ordered the maid to serve two more jugs of wine.
Yang Shao glanced at Xie Xian, who was silently drinking.”Xuan Hui?”
Xie Xian drank quite a bit of wine, but his face did not appear red. Instead, the more he drank, the paler his face became.”! think what Brother Pan said makes sense.”
“I just thought that Xuan Hui, you seem to be very familiar with the mistress of the Xiao manor, so perhaps you could help me find out.”Yang Shao was full of anticipation. He had finally said the words that he had been holding back for the past few days. The huge stone that had been pressing on his heart was also put down. His entire person was extremely relaxed and excited.
It was as if he was facing Lady Xiao nodding at him.
Some things might not be as difficult as he imagined, he thought.
“This is not a good idea.” Xie Xian lightly shook his head,” If Brother Yang really wants to marry, you should show your sincerity. No matter what, I’m a junior and a man.”
” Yes, yes, yes.” Yang Shao slapped his head when he heard that he was being silly. “I thought too simply, thanks to Xuan Hui’s advice.”
“Yes, Lady Xiao is not someone to be treated simply.”Pan Shuo chimed in from the side. “Let’s not talk about her personality, but she’s definitely better than her looks. Her father is not an ordinary person. He’s the General of the Flying Cavalry who commands thousands of troops and is invincible. He’s also the Duke of Shixing, the Emperor’s right-hand man.”
This was the point. Yang Shao was also hesitant because he considered her father and did not dare to advance rashly.
“But you’re not bad. You’re young and promising. You worked hard for everything. At least when General Xiao was your age, he wasn’t as powerful as you.”
After giving him a good beating, Pan Shuo did not forget to appease Yang Shao.
“Be bolder. If you can’t bear to part with the child, you can’t catch the wolf! Take advantage of her illness to take her life. Now in Jiankang City, there are only a few people who dare to marry, want to marry, or can marry Lady Xiao. I think your chances of winning the beauty arc quite high.”
Pan Shuo smiled.” If Xuanhui doesn’t fight with you.””
Yang Shao was startled and sobered up.”
“If Xuanhui likes Lady Xiao, what do you have to do with it? You didn’t see the way Madam Xie looked at Xuan Hui. It was even gentler than looking at her own son. If Xuan Hui had the intention, no one else could be ranked.”Pan Shuo laughed loudly after he finished speaking, laughing at Yang Shao’s nervousness.
However, if it were him, and his love rival was Xie Xian, he would also have a headache.
“This matter concerns a woman’s reputation. Since Brother Pan knows how serious it is, then don’t randomly drag others into it.”
Xie Xian was clearly smiling as he said this, but Pan Shuo felt that this person was displeased. As for why, Xie Xian was not someone who valued his status as an aristocratic family. He definitely did not think that it was an insult to him because he wanted to marry into the Xiao family.
Then, why?
