The woman's perfume wasn't the cheap kind, but rather a high-class fragrance. She called herself a servant, but her hands were as white as jade—not the hands of a maid. Her status was certainly not low.

In order to force Xie Zhan to get married quickly, the old lady had investigated all the eligible unmarried daughters of officials in the capital. This Xiaoyu might be a young lady from one of those families. The old lady also knew Xie Zhan's personality. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, for the sake of his daughter's reputation, he had no choice but to marry Xiaoyu.

Unfortunately, such a good plan was ruined by Feng Guang's sudden and unexpected return.

Feng Guang thought to herself, the old lady was indeed a troublemaker. It was normal for her to do such a thing. She glanced at the situation outside again. Facing the crying Xiao Yu, the old lady's face showed hidden anger. After all, she hadn't seen Xie Zhan, which meant she couldn't follow the original plan to say that Xie Zhan had violated Xiao Yu's purity and that she had to marry Xiao Yu. Now that Xie Zhan was gone, it was a fact that Xiao Yu had been seen by the old lady and her people. For a young woman to be persuaded by the old lady to do such a thing was already against her sense of shame. She had to get an explanation from the old lady, otherwise, if word got out, she would lose all face.

The old lady ended up getting herself into trouble. Feng Guang chuckled to herself. She looked up and unexpectedly met Xie Zhan's gaze. She paused, then pretended to be angry and said, "Why are you looking at me?"

"The scenery is right in front of me, so naturally I have to take a good look at it."

Her face flushed, and seeing that the old lady's people had already left, she snorted and walked out from behind the rockery. "I can help you for a while, but not forever. If this doesn't work, the old lady will definitely think of other ways to help you get married. Take care of yourself."

Seeing that she was about to leave, he grabbed her wrist. "Wait."

She looked up, puzzled. "What are you doing?"

He smiled, raised his hand and picked up a fallen leaf from her head. It was a leaf that had fallen from the tree behind the rockery when they were hiding. "Little girl, you've helped me again this time. I'll remember this kindness."

"Alright then, I'll be waiting for you to repay my kindness." She tried her best to answer with a normal expression, then turned and ran away, as if he were some kind of monster.

Back in her room, Feng Guang quickly poured herself a cup of tea and drank it. After a while, the heat on her face subsided, and her emotions calmed down.

Xie Zhan is practically a walking embodiment of hormones. Every simple and casual move he makes is full of allure, especially when he leans in... his unique mature aura is truly intoxicating.

She suddenly remembered that her mission was to win over this man named Xie Zhan, but she was very unsure of herself. Before she could successfully win him over, she herself would fall for him first.

Feng Guang was at a loss for what to do when Huan'er walked in from outside with a plate. Feng Guang was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Didn't you say you were going to go with your third uncle? Why are you here looking for me again?"

"Sister, don't be angry." Huan'er tiptoed and placed the plate on the table. "This is osmanthus cake for you, sister. I made it with the cook!"

"Did your third uncle teach you that?" Feng Guang wasn't in a hurry to eat; instead, he thought of this question.
