Han Xu just happened to walk out of the house. He was surprised to hear someone knocking on the door at this time. His own courtyard might not be very lively today.

When Han Xu opened the door and saw who was coming, he quickly closed the door. Miss Li Er's anxious voice reached Wen Jing's ears, "Mr. Han, I have something urgent to talk to you about today. Please open the door quickly."

Han Xu was devastated at the moment. Ever since he emphasized to Miss Li Er that he had no interest in her and asked her not to come to him again, he had not seen Miss Li Er come to him recently. He thought that the problem was finally solved, but now...

"Miss Li Er, I have said everything I should have said last time. I have no interest in you. Please go back and don't come to see me again." Han Xu said to Miss Li Er outside the door with a firm attitude.

"Mr. Han, could you please open the door first? I really have something to talk to you about." Miss Li Er was unwilling to give up and asked Han Xu to open the door.

"Brother Han, you'd better open the door. This will affect the neighbors." Wen Jing felt that Miss Li's noise outside the door would attract the neighbors and affect Han Xu's reputation as a scholar.

"But..." Han Xu really didn't want to let Miss Li Er in, but what Wen Jing said was the truth.

"We are all here, nothing will happen." Han Xu understood what Wen Jing said. With so many people around, there is no such thing as a single man or a single woman. Even if they come in, they won't have any evidence.

After figuring all this out, Han Xu reluctantly opened the door. Miss Li Er obviously didn't expect Han Xu to open the door suddenly, and she knocked on the door with such force that she almost fell down.

Seeing Han Xu, he said with surprise, "I knew that Mr. Han would open the door for me." Then, regardless of Han Xu's cold face, he happily followed Han Xu into the yard.

When he saw Wen Jing in the yard, he was dumbfounded and asked with a little stammer, "How are you, Third Master Wen? Why are you here?"

"Of course I came here to discuss academic matters with Brother Han. Could it be that Miss Li is also here to ask for advice?" Wen Jing's question made Miss Li blush.

"I, I came...to talk to Master Han about something." Miss Li made up an excuse.

"I heard from my second brother a few days ago that Miss Li is going to marry the son of the Minister of Rites. Since the wedding date has been set, Miss Li should stay at home and embroider her wedding dress. Don't come to Mr. Han again, so as not to cause trouble for him."

Wen Jing's words seemed to be persuasion, but in fact he was saying that Miss Li's behavior was inappropriate, and that since she already had a fiancé, she should not bother Han Xu anymore.

"I'm here today to ask Mr. Han a question and then I'll leave. I won't disturb you any further." Although Miss Li was a little afraid of Wen Jing, she was so caught up in love that she didn't care about anything else.

"Miss Li Er, please ask. If it's the same question as before, Han's answer will be the same." Han Xu just wanted Miss Li Er to finish asking her questions quickly.

Miss Li Er hesitated for a moment and said to Wen Jing, "Mr. Wen San, can you please step aside for a moment?"

Wen Jing was not interested in their affairs in the first place, so he put down the book and said to Han Xu, "I'll go to the kitchen and take a look."

"Brother Wen, please bear with me." Han Xu was really embarrassed. It was a bit awkward for Wen Jing to encounter such a thing when he came to visit him.

Seeing Wen Jing leave, Miss Li Er finally plucked up the courage to say to Han Xu, "Master Han, my father forced me to marry someone I don't like. How about we elope? I have a lot of banknotes. Let's find a place where no one knows us and we will have no worries about food and drink for the rest of our lives."

Han Xu was so shocked that he forgot to react. Could it be that Miss Li Er was crazy? Who gave her the courage to make such a scary request to him?

Seeing Han Xu was silent, Miss Li Er thought Han Xu was considering it, and continued, "If you still want to take the imperial examination, then we will go out and hide for a few years, and then we will return to Beijing when Daddy's anger subsides. Daddy only has me as his daughter, and he will definitely forgive us and help you with your future."

"Ms. Li Er, please be careful with your words. I will say this for the last time. I have no intention of having any feelings for you, Miss Li Er. Please respect yourself and go away." Han Xu wanted to throw Miss Li Er out.

"If you don't have any interest in me, then who do you have interest in? Is it Song Yanran? Your attitude towards me has changed since you met her, and I know it's because of her."

Miss Li Er was a little crazy at this moment. Since she was confronted by Song Yanran twice, she blamed Song Yanran for Han Xu's rejection of her.

When Han Xu heard that Miss Li Er did not reflect on her mistakes and even tried to bring Song Yanran up with her, he immediately got angry and said, "Miss Li Er, it is important to know yourself. I have never liked you. It was all Miss Li Er's wishful thinking. Please don't bring other people up with me."

"Haha, self-respect? I almost fell out with my family because of you. Is your heart made of stone?"

"You said I was hooking up with other people, then why do you two happen to be together every time?"

Seeing that Han Xu was still protecting Song Yanran, Miss Li Er's jealousy reached its peak. What was so good about Song Yanran? Why did Mr. Han protect her? It was obviously she who knew Mr. Han first.

The people hiding in the kitchen were stunned. They originally just wanted to see how Han Xu would get rid of Miss Li, but it turned out that she came to elope, and when the elopement failed, she even slandered others.

Mrs. Han was so angry that her whole body was shaking. Was this woman really a lady from Beijing? She made her son give up his future and elope with her, which would make him be nailed to the pillar of shame for the rest of his life. After being rejected, she slandered her son's relationship with Miss Song. Either of these would make people stab him in the back for the rest of his life.

Madam Han couldn't bear it any longer and rushed out. Song Yanran tried to hold her back but failed and was dragged out of the kitchen by Madam Han.

Miss Li was on the verge of an emotional breakdown and suddenly saw Madam Han and Song Yanran coming out of the kitchen and she went crazy.

"Song Yanran, it's all your fault, it's all your fault. Mr. Han rejected me. I'm going to fight you." Miss Li rushed towards Song Yanran like crazy.

Han Xu was right in front of Miss Li Er, and he quickly stood in front of Madam Han and Song Yanran, and then Miss Li Er's slap landed on Han Xu's face.

Han Xu's face was filled with anger. It was not him who was beaten, but his mother and Miss Song who were hurt because of him. No matter whether the slap was on his mother or Miss Song today, he could not forgive himself.

"Ms. Li Er, have you made enough trouble? You are not welcome here, please leave." Han Xu's anger reached its peak at this moment.

"You are still protecting her. You all bully me. Song Yanran, come out and don't hide behind Young Master Han." Seeing Han Xu protecting Song Yanran, Miss Li became even angrier.

"Li Ruyi, why are you mad? Come to me if you have anything to say. Don't go crazy here." Song Yanran felt that Miss Li Er just didn't like her and was putting all the blame on her.

"Song Yanran, why do you have to snatch it from me? Why?" Miss Li Er wanted to go forward and hit Song Yanran, but was stopped by Han Xu.

The situation was at a standstill for a moment. Madam Han pointed at Li Ruyi angrily and said, "Miss Li, please leave. If you continue to make trouble, I will take Xu'er to the Jingzhao prefect to file a complaint. By the way, I will ask how Lord Li taught his daughter. You came to my house and failed to force my son to elope, and you even attacked my guest."
