When Lu Mingxuan woke up, he found himself lying in a dilapidated house filled with sticks and firewood.
He knew that he was locked in the woodshed, and the slightest movement made him grimace in pain.
When he calmed down, he saw a middle-aged man sitting in front of him wearing a black robe with purple trim.
Lu Mingxuan shrank his neck. The person in front of him had an extraordinary aura and should not be an ordinary person.
"Who are you? Why are you arresting me?"
Xu Maocai looked at him for a long time before looking away in annoyance.
He had thought that Lu Mingxuan was some great figure, but now it seemed that he was just a poor boy with no merit.
"You don't need to know who I am. From today on, you are not allowed to come to the Grand Tutor's Mansion again."
"Why?"
Lu Mingxuan asked anxiously.
"The eldest daughter of the Xu family is not someone you can covet. Give up your thoughts as soon as possible, otherwise, the consequences will be something you cannot afford.
Lu Mingxuan's eyes widened as he asked in disbelief, "You, who are you? Do you want to harm Wanqing?"
"You called her Wanqing too? Scholars, have you learned all the etiquette, morality, and integrity?"
As he said that, Xu Maocai stood up and kicked Lu Mingxuan in the stomach.
“Ah…it hurts!”
Lu Mingxuan held his stomach and couldn't straighten his back for a while.
"This is what happens when you don't obey. From now on, if I see you bothering her again, the consequences will not be so simple!"
"You, you are a member of the Xu family, right? Ask Wanqing to come over. I want to ask her in person."
His whole body was in pain, but he still couldn't believe that Wanqing would treat him like this.
Wanqing liked him and loved him, and he believed it.
They agreed to meet every ten days, and it has been a year, without a break.
"Dream on! You little bastard, you don't even listen to what I say. Fine, I'll grant your wish today."
Xu Maocai turned around, picked up the stick on the ground and started beating Lu Mingxuan.
"I'm telling you, Wanqing will be getting married soon, so you'd better give up on it as soon as possible."
Lu Mingxuan didn't believe it. He shook his head and said, "Impossible. Wanqing wouldn't do this to me. Let me go see her and ask her in person."
"dream!"
Seeing him struggling desperately and his voice getting louder and louder, Xu Maocai could no longer bear it and swung the stick at him with all his strength.
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Mingxuan finally uttered a weak cry for help, "Stop fighting, stop fighting."
After Xu Maocai stopped, he gasped heavily until he realized that Lu Mingxuan was no longer able to make any sound.
He stepped forward and sniffed, then tilted his mouth and said, "Someone come here!"
"master......"
"Send him back and tell his mother that if he dares to hang around the Grand Tutor's Mansion again, she will no longer have a son."
"yes!"
"Also, when you send it back, keep it a secret and don't let anyone know."
"I understand!"
Only after Lu Mingxuan was carried out did Xu Maocai walk out of the woodshed with a look of disgust on his face.
No one, not even the emperor, can stop him from becoming the father-in-law of the emperor!

Feiyun Garden
"Did you see that?"
Looking at Qiao Yun who came back in a hurry, Xu Wanyan knew it must be good news.
"Miss, as you said, the master has indeed captured the eldest lady's lover."
She had seen a good show.
"Tell me about it."
Qiao Yun scratched her head. "Miss, I was far away and couldn't see clearly. I just knew that when it went in, it was a sack, and when it came out, it was also a sack. In the middle, the servants from the mansion were not there. Only the master was inside."
Xu Wanyan nodded. With Xu Maocai's despising the poor and loving the rich personality, he would definitely not let Lu Mingxuan contact Xu Wanyan again.
But Lu Mingxuan is not stupid. How could he give up the rich girl he had finally hooked?
"Miss, Mrs. Gu is here."
Mother Gu?
"I'll go and take a look."
Xu Wanyan walked out of the inner room and smiled sweetly when she saw Mother Gu. "Mother Gu, why are you here?"
"Second Miss, Madam has something to do, and I asked this old servant to inform you."
Mother Gu found that the second young lady was becoming more and more likable, and her interactions with others were impeccable.
"Thank you for your help, Mom. What can I do for you?"
"Second Miss, there's news from the palace that the Crown Princess is unwell. Ladies from all families can go and see her."
"The young lady has been feeling unwell recently, so I have no choice but to ask you to accompany her. Tomorrow is a good day."
"Going to the East Palace?"
Xu Wanyan was a little surprised. This had never happened in her previous life. How could it suddenly...
"Is Mother going?"
Mother Gu shook her head. "Madam won't go. The Crown Princess is young, so this time we'll send some young ladies to help her relieve her boredom."
Xu Wanyan nodded, her face serious, "I know, I will prepare well."
Mother Gu nodded. From her recent observations, she felt that the second young lady had a better temperament.
She knew what the lady was thinking. She wanted the second young lady to go to the Eastern Palace and make a fool of herself, which would serve as a good foil for the eldest young lady.
But in her opinion, the second young lady would not make a fool of herself.
"Also, Second Miss, Madam said that when you return from the East Palace, there will be a teacher to teach you."
Xu Wanyan felt strange. Could Zhao Yaru be so kind?
"Why so sudden?"
Seeing Xu Wanyan's puzzled look, Mother Gu was a little disappointed. It seemed that she really didn't like reading as her husband said.
"Second Miss, women should learn more knowledge. The Xu family is not an ordinary family."
"Thank you, Mama Gu. I understand. Let me thank you."
