"Sir, Miss Xie is here." said the butler.

"Oh? Just come. Although you haven't gotten married yet, my house is not a place where you can't come. Just prepare a guest room for her to stay. I'll go see her tomorrow." Zhang Yuan felt a little strange. It was abnormal for Xie Zhihui to come to him late at night, and his housekeeper also looked crazy. Could it be that I really drank too much and had hallucinations?

"Sir, Miss Xie came at sunset, when you were supposed to be off duty. After arriving, she refused to enter the mansion and stood at the door for almost four hours. She refused to drink water or eat anything, saying that she wanted to wait for you to return."

"ah?"

Zhang Yuan jumped off the carriage and looked from a distance. He saw a woman in green clothes under the lantern at the gate of the mansion. She was probably exhausted from standing for too long and was leaning against the stone lion at the gate.

As Zhang Yuan walked quickly, he saw a small table next to the woman in green, with tea and cakes on it, but it didn't look like it had been moved.

"Miss Xie..." Zhang Yuan had just opened his mouth when he saw Xie Zhihui straighten herself up with all her strength, bowed to him, and said, "Visiting Master Zhang at night is not in accordance with etiquette, but I don't know anyone in this huge Zhongxing Mansion. After much deliberation, I had no choice but to come to you, Master."

Zhang Yuan looked at Xie Zhihui's stern face, and his heart skipped a beat. He asked, "If you have something to say, just send someone to tell me. Why bother..."

"Oh, it seems that Lord Zhang doesn't want to see me. Then I'll leave now." Xie Zhihui said decisively and turned away.

Zhang Yuan instinctively reached out to pull her, but was worried that his strength would hurt her. He didn't expect his angry girlfriend to be harder to hold down than the armored infantry of Liang Country. He didn't hold her back. Seeing that Xie Zhihui was about to walk away, he quickly stepped forward, pulled her back hard, and said, "That's not what I meant, you know."

Xie Zhihui still had a stern face and said, "Let me go. I want to leave. Could it be that I have violated the laws of Zhongxing Prefecture and Master Zhang wants to take me away to punish me?"

Zhang Yuan smiled apologetically, "How dare I?" Then he quickly changed the subject, "Why isn't Ouyang Zhuyu here with me? Wouldn't it be dangerous for you to come alone?"

Hearing this, Xie Zhihui's expression became even more wry. She said, "Ask Ouyang when you meet her. Humph, it's not like you don't know where she lives. If you want to find her yourself, go find her!"

Poor Lord Zhang, he has seen all kinds of storms over the years, whether it is handling official business, managing disasters, or catering to superiors, suppressing subordinates, robbing neighboring countries, or slaughtering women and children. In short, there is nothing he has no experience with. However, he only trained his body with women, not his spirit. He was knocked dizzy by Xie Zhihui with just a few words.

"Okay, I was just asking..."

"If you ask Ouyang casually, then if you ask seriously, then you'll have to rush over tonight."

"I'm just worried about you. Come on, let's go inside and talk."

"Who am I to you? You're dragging me into your house in the middle of the night. Don't you fear the law, Mr. Zhang?"

Zhang Yuan...

On the rooftop across the street, a man in night clothes came to support and deal with the unexpected. Chen Fan couldn't help but sigh: "What a master."

The subordinate beside him added in a low voice: "Boss, you look much better in women's clothes than hers, but if you open your mouth, people will throw you eight hundred miles away."

"But if the boss just wore a skirt and didn't speak, I think she wouldn't necessarily lose. If the boss hadn't been monitoring Gao Bin in Jinguan City, the task of lurking around Zhang Yuan might not have fallen on this outsider girl," another subordinate followed.

"We're getting married. What should I do with my hair on the wedding night?"

"Just do what you have to do. It's not impossible. It's just a little more complicated at best."

“Oh, you have experience?”

"Hehehehe."

"Be quiet, shut up. If you say another word, I'll let you guys challenge the palace guards one-on-one." Chen Fan said angrily, completely ignoring the fact that he was the one who spoke first.

"Miss Xie, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly. It's okay. As long as I, your big brother Zhang, can do it, I will do it immediately without saying anything." Zhang Yuan patted his chest and said.

"Okay, I want to go back to Xichuan. Give me some money and I'll go back by myself." Zhang Yuan had planned everything, but he didn't expect that Xie Zhihui would actually say this.

"We are about to get married, why do you suddenly want to go back? If you miss home, it's not too late to go back after you get married." Zhang Yuan said.

"Forget it. I'm not worthy of you, Master Zhang." Xie Zhihui became more and more excited as she spoke. "It's already against etiquette for a little girl like me to follow you for thousands of miles. If it weren't for the village head guaranteeing you were a good person, I would never have followed you."

Zhang Yuan was sweating profusely, thinking that it was unbelievable that he, a dignified Imperial Censor, had to rely on a village head to act as a guarantor.

"As a result, when I came to Zhongxing Mansion, I saw you once, and then I threw you to live in the outer house, where you stayed for ten days. Let me ask you, who am I? Am I kept in the half-open door of the outer house?" Xie Zhihui said as she walked to the small table with the teacup. She wanted to pick up the teacup and throw it at Zhang Yuan, but she didn't expect to be exhausted from standing for too long. In addition, she was too excited just now. She felt dizzy as soon as she raised the teacup and almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Zhang Yuan was quick-witted and caught him.

Xie Zhihui struggled for a few times, but she didn't know whether she was not strong enough or something else, but she still couldn't push Zhang Yuan away, and could only fall into his arms. Seeing this, Zhang Yuan quickly said: "It's my fault, it's my fault, but I'm busy with official duties, you know..."

Xie Zhihui interrupted, "What do I know? That you're drinking and not coming home late at night? Just smell the alcohol and the powder on your face. Master Zhang, you're having so much fun, why would you care about me?"
