"Wei Zhongdao...?"
Upon hearing the name mentioned by the Cai family's steward, Liu Hong was slightly taken aback.
Then it dawned on me that Cai Yan's first husband in history was this very guy.
Unexpectedly, after many twists and turns, Wei Zhongdao still managed to find the Cai family and get to know Cai Yan.
"Heh, this is really interesting!"
Thinking of this, Liu Hong couldn't help but chuckle, then turned to Zhao Yun beside him: "Zilong, what do you think of that Wei Zhongdao?"
"In reply to your question, young master, that person is thin and has a gaunt face, clearly suffering from internal deficiencies and physical weakness. It seems highly likely that he will die young!"
Zhao Yun, from the perspective of a martial artist, also gave the most direct evaluation of Wei Zhongdao.
As soon as Zhao Yun finished speaking, a clear voice rang out from the back hall.
"Who is the one who dies young?!"
Upon hearing this voice, Liu Hong smiled and then turned his head to look.
Eight-year-old Lü Zhen was seen skipping and hopping from the back room, her bright eyes fixed on Zhao Yun.
"No...nobody!"
Meeting Lü Zhen's gaze, Zhao Yun blushed and then turned his head away.
At this time, Zhao Yun was already a thirteen-year-old boy, full of youthful vigor. Faced with Lü Zhen's undisguised affection, he was naturally somewhat at a loss.
"Tch, boring!"
After giving Zhao Yun a disdainful look, Lü Zhen turned to Liu Hong with a grin, then took his arm and said in a coquettish tone, "Brother, you haven't come to see Zhen'er in so long! You must take me out for a good time today!"
"Haha~ Of course, you can go wherever you want!"
Liu Hong smiled, patted Lü Zhen's head affectionately, and readily agreed to Lü Zhen's request.
Just then, Cai Yong, along with Cai Yan and Dong Zhen, walked out from the back hall.
"Greetings, young master. We apologize for keeping you waiting so long!"
Liu Hong smiled and waved his hand, "Dr. Cai, there's no need for such formalities. I've only just arrived myself!"
"Thank you, young master!"
After bowing respectfully, Cai Yong stepped aside, followed by Cai Yan and Dong Zhen, who also approached Liu Hong and bowed, saying, "Zhao Ji and Dong Zhen greet Your Highness!"
Liu Hong smiled and said, "No need for formalities!"
"Thank you, young master!"
After bowing, Lü Zhen let go of Liu Hong and ran to Cai Yan's side.
"Sister Zhaoji, my brother just promised to take us out to play. How about we go watch a football match today?"
Cai Yan was slightly taken aback: "A ball game?"
"It's a game where more than twenty big men fight over a single ball. It's like a battle, so intense and exciting...!"
"Zhen'er, how can we girls go to watch those kinds of competitions?"
Upon hearing Lü Zhen's description, Cai Yan shook her head with a reserved expression.
Unlike Lü Zhen, Cai Yan, who was quiet and gentle, always followed her father's teachings and devoted herself to studying music, chess, calligraphy and painting. At most, she would go to the theater to watch a performance, but she had never been to a place like a football field.
"Oh, it's nothing! My brother already agreed, so you'll come with me!"
Lü Zhen exclaimed "Oh dear!" and immediately stepped forward to grab Cai Yan's arm, shaking it repeatedly and acting coquettishly.
"No, the sports field is mostly for men. How can we women go to a place like that?"
In front of Liu Hong, Cai Yan shook her head again and refused Lü Zhen, not wanting to ruin her image in the eyes of the emperor.
Seeing this, Lü Zhen could only look longingly at Liu Hong beside her: "Brother, look at Sister Zhaoji, she..."
Seeing this, Liu Hong smiled and said, "Miss Cai, although the stadium is mostly for men, Dian Wei has a private box there, so you don't need to come into contact with others. It wouldn't hurt to take a look!"
"this……"
Upon hearing Liu Hong speak, Cai Yan hesitated for a moment before turning to look at her father.
Seeing this, Cai Yong realized his daughter's thoughts and smiled, "Since you say so, young master, it's alright for Yan'er to go!"
"Yes, Father!"
Seeing that her father had agreed, Cai Yan nodded slightly, a hint of barely perceptible joy appearing in her eyes.
"Yay! Let's go, let's go, it'll start any later!"
Upon seeing Cai Yan nod, Lü Zhen cheered happily and pulled her towards the outside.
Five-year-old Dong Zhen seized the opportunity to run up to Zhao Yun and stretched out her arms: "Brother Yun, carry me with you!"
"Uh~!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun's lips twitched, and he sat there awkwardly, unsure whether to move or not.
Upon hearing this, Lü Zhen, who had already run to the door, stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Dong Zhen.
"You little brat, how old are you that you still need to be carried? Come here by yourself. If you dare to pester Brother Yun again, believe me, I'll beat you up."
As she spoke, Lü Zhen opened her mouth, revealing a pair of tiger teeth, and clenched her fist and shook it.
"Oh~!"
Upon seeing Lü Zhen's wrath, Dong Zhen was so frightened that she immediately withdrew her arms and walked towards the door with a pitiful expression.
"This girl!"
Seeing Lü Zhen violently protecting her husband, Liu Hong couldn't help but shake his head with a smile, and his gaze towards Zhao Yun became more playful.
He could see that Zhao Yun was destined to be in Lü Zhen's grasp.
With such a fiery and passionate wife, and a terrifying brother-in-law like Lü Bu, Zhao Yun's future days are probably going to be tough!
While secretly chuckling to himself, Liu Hong stood up, faced Cai Yong, and said with a smile, "We've troubled you quite a bit today, so we'll take our leave now!"
Cai Yong quickly cupped his hands and said, "Please wait, young master!"
Liu Hong smiled and waved his hand, then led Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, following behind Lü Zhen, Cai Yan, and the others, towards the outside of the Cai residence.
When the group arrived at the gate of the mansion, the steward had already ordered two carriages to be prepared and parked outside the mansion.
The steward of the Cai family said respectfully, "Young master, there are too many people and too many eyes outside, what do you think..."
"That's so thoughtful!"
Liu Hong smiled and walked towards the carriage in front, while Lü Zhen, Cai Yan, and Dong Zhen got into the carriage behind.
"shelf!"
With a flick of the coachman's whip, the two carriages slowly began to move, heading towards the Royal Stadium.
Just as the two carriages disappeared at the end of the street, a figure emerged from around the corner of the Cai residence.
"Who exactly is he, that he was able to take Miss Cai out?"
Looking at the street corner, Wei Zhongdao spoke while a hint of hatred flashed in his eyes.
Back when he first saw Cai Yan at the Royal Theatre, he vowed that he would marry no one but her.
During this time, he tried every means to get close to Cai Yan and visited her every day, but he was never able to meet the beauty.
He had initially thought that Miss Cai was well-mannered and obedient, but he never expected that she would go out with other men today.
