Chapter 71: Seeing the Face
He Lingfei pointed in shock at the direction the woman left, "This isn't... this isn't..."
Zhao Xun didn't care about so much at this time. He grabbed the lamp from He Lingfei's hand and put it down, while hurriedly dragging her out, "Go... Go, we don't need this lamp..."
At this time, the waiter beside him asked, "Sir, don't you want this lamp anymore? This was made by our Miss Yu..."
Zhao Xun stopped and turned around to ask, "You said the female artist's surname was Yu?"
The waiter said proudly, "Yes, it's Miss Yu. In our coastal area, some people come from far away to ask someone to buy the lanterns she makes. You are very lucky today, young master. This is Miss Yu's new one."
At this time, Yu Huatang was coming out from the back room with a pile of drawing papers.
"No, I don't need it." Zhao Xun made a prompt decision and pulled He Lingfei out as if running for his life.
Yan Quan, who was waiting outside, also immediately walked back. When he reached the carriage, Yan Quan pretended to ask, "Didn't the Fourth Young Master buy anything?"
Zhao Xun and He Lingfei exchanged a glance. Zhao Xun pulled Yan Quan and said, "Master Yan, you just mentioned that there is a female artist here. What's her name..."
Yan Quan knew that he couldn't hide the truth, so he stammered, "This female artist...her surname is Yu...her name is Yu Huatang..."
Sure enough, both of them widened their eyes after hearing this.
Although Yan Quan knew about this, he pretended to be completely clueless and asked, "What's going on? Does the Fourth Young Master know Miss Yu?"
Zhao Xun nodded, "More than just knowing her, I think she is our former third sister-in-law, the one who divorced my third brother..."
He Lingfei also nodded, "Yes, it looks like the same person..."
Yan Quan also pretended to be surprised. He didn't expect the Fourth Young Master and his wife to say it so bluntly. He continued to feign surprise, "Ah?... Then why have I never heard Lord Zhao say that..."
Zhao Xun was also puzzled. "You mean Third Brother? Didn't he mention it? Then have they met?"
"Not only has she met him, Miss Yu also helped Lord Zhao testify and contributed to the arrest of pirates..." Yan Quan said as he felt that Lord Zhao was really thoughtful.
He added, "Not long ago, someone slandered Miss Yu, and it was Lord Zhao who personally sent people to arrest him..."
Zhao Xun glanced back at the Master Deng Hall and thought this was really strange. He turned to He Lingfei and said, "Do you remember where Third Sister-in-law was from?"
"Isn't it from Quanzhou?" He Lingfei replied.
Zhao Xun couldn't understand it after hearing this, and said to himself, "If my third sister-in-law is here, why has my third brother never mentioned it to his family?"
He Lingfei no longer paid any attention to him. She turned around and got on the carriage, then replied, "Who can guess what Third Brother is thinking? Okay, forget about it. Can't you just go and ask Third Brother directly?"
"That's right, let's go." After saying that, he also got on the carriage.
Yan Quan followed behind and asked the driver to turn around and take the two of them to the government office. At this point, Yan Quan had to admire Lord Zhao for being able to keep things secret. No one knew about his relationship with Miss Yu.
Now that the Fourth Young Master Zhao had arrived, he really wanted to see how Lord Zhao would answer his younger brother and sister-in-law's questions. His original worries had vanished, and instead, all that remained was gossip...
After a while, the carriage arrived at the government office.
Yan Quan led the two of them inside. Today was a public office day, and there were still many officials in the government office. Wang Zhubu, who was standing by, saw them and was about to come over to say hello, but he didn't expect that Young Master Zhao Si would run in anxiously.
He Lingfei followed behind and walked in quickly. As soon as she reached the door, she heard the voice of the fourth master Zhao, "Third brother!"
When Yan Quan arrived here, he immediately winked at Wang Zhubu to follow him and stand aside to listen to the movement inside.
Zhao Yan was originally handling a case of land annexation. When he looked up and saw Zhao Xun, he was also surprised and happy. Just as he was about to say something, he saw He Lingfei behind him. He Lingfei also called out, "Third Brother."
"How come you all came here? Did you encounter any danger on the way?" Zhao Yan asked with a smile.
"Mother thought that the New Year was approaching and my third brother was working as an official outside and couldn't go back, so she asked us to bring some things over," He Lingfei explained.
Zhao Xun, however, ignored all this and hurriedly pulled Zhao Yan up, not caring that this was the government office. He said, "Third brother, guess who Ling Fei and I just saw. Oh my god, it was my former sister-in-law! Why didn't you tell your family that she was here too?"
Zhao Yan immediately stopped him, "Don't talk about this here. Who else knows about this besides you?"
"Oh, I told Lord Yan who just sent us here. So can't we tell him about this?" Zhao Xun asked.
As expected, Lord Yan, who was eavesdropping, felt a little guilty after getting the answer. He looked at Wang Zhubu, whose mouth was also wide open, probably because he was frightened.
Okay, now he is not the only one who knows about it. Even if Lord Zhao wants to blame him, he can't just punish him. He went back with peace of mind.
At this time, Zhao Yan asked, "Why did you come here to the Master of Lights Hall?"
"Oh, it's because we forgot to buy a gift for Third Brother on the way here, so when we got here, we thought we could buy some local things for him to see. But she didn't see us, and we ran away as soon as we saw her."
Zhao Yan was silent for a moment. "Don't tell anyone about this for now. That's all."
"Don't worry, Third Brother, I will take care of Axun." He Lingfei said.
Zhao Xun's appetite had just been satisfied, so how could it be satisfied so quickly? He continued to ask, "Third brother, did you say she got married?"
He Lingfei also looked over.
"No."
Zhao Xun was puzzled. "That shouldn't be the case. She's not bad looking. If she wanted to get married, she would definitely be married right away. Could it be that seeing Third Brother here, she wanted to rekindle her relationship and be with Third Brother again..."
"Axun!" Zhao Yan shouted, "I told you not to talk about it here."
"Okay, okay, you go ahead. Ling Fei and I will be waiting for you here." He agreed without hesitation. Every now and then, driven by curiosity, he began to mutter to himself, "Why did she learn a skill? I just took a quick look and it was all men. If she showed up like this, who would agree to marry her?"
Zhao Yan flipped open the scroll and made some notes. Then he looked over and said seriously, "I'll explain it to you in detail when we get back. Now shut up."
"Okay, okay, but most girls wouldn't learn this. Her family isn't well-off, and she probably doesn't have any money, so she learned this. It's quite pitiful." Zhao Xun sighed for a moment, not noticing He Lingfei's gesture for him to shut up, and continued, "But now that she knows Third Brother is an official here, do you think she has other ideas? Back then, she was so shameless that she insisted on marrying Third Brother..."
Zhao Yan sighed helplessly and scolded again, "Shut up and go home and talk."
There were many people coming and going in the government office, and someone might have heard it and discussed it later. Zhao Xun didn't dare to say anything at this moment. He just pulled He Lingfei to look around and waited until the end of his shift.
