The next day.
Liu Wei got out of bed feeling refreshed.
On the bed, they found a white silk cloth dotted with winter plum blossoms.
Presumably, Zou Ling placed it here long ago to prove that she was pure and innocent.
She was abducted by Yang Gun last night, and she was worried that Liu Wei would think she was impure.
Liu Wei smiled with satisfaction.
In the previous life, it would have been extremely rare for a woman to remain chaste on her wedding day.
In this era, women regarded this as a precious thing and remained faithful to one man until death.
Thinking about it, it's truly a sign of the world going to the dogs and people losing their traditional values.
Women from the previous life who demanded exorbitant dowries, only thinking of taking and never giving, are far inferior to women of ancient times.
At this moment, Zou Ling had also woken up and immediately got up to help Liu Wei change his clothes.
Her pretty face, slender figure, and curvaceous body shone brightly in the morning sunlight, making her exceptionally dazzling.
No wonder she was one of the ten most beautiful women in the Three Kingdoms period; it's no wonder Cao Cao was so infatuated with her.
"Ling'er, for today you will wear my guard's clothes and not show yourself as a girl."
"I understand."
Completely naked, Zou Ling made no attempt to conceal herself before Liu Wei, and gracefully bowed.
She observed Liu Wei's gaze lingering on the white silk dotted with winter plum blossoms on the bed, and then nodded slightly.
This means that Liu Wei already knew she was a virgin.
"Ling'er, follow me wholeheartedly, and I will treat you well."
"However, there are some things you should never try to be clever about."
"The woman I want doesn't care much about her past."
Liu Wei looked at Zou Ling with a half-smile.
This woman was too eager to depend on men and too eager to please them. She cleverly used some tricks to prove that she was still a virgin in order to win Liu Wei's favor.
Liu Wei wanted an obedient woman, not someone who was too smart.
Cai Yan's poetic talent and intelligence certainly don't count.
Diao Chan's deliberate concealment of the matter had already angered Liu Wei, who had ignored her for quite some time.
Liu Wei didn't want the woman in front of him to be scheming.
From now on, I will absolutely not allow any power struggles or palace intrigues among my women.
Zou Ling was stunned, and hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Your Highness, my intention is only to prove that what I offer to Your Highness is my pure and innocent body."
"No need for explanation, I understand! Rise, pack your things quickly, we must depart immediately."
After Liu Wei finished speaking, he left Zou Ling behind, opened the door, and walked out of the guest room.
Not far away, Yang Xun, Wang Fangyi, Shen Lian, and Yan Da were talking about something.
Upon seeing Liu Wei appear, they hurriedly came forward to greet him:
"Your Highness!"
"Master Yang, I was too drunk to drink last night and went to bed early. I wonder if the fire has been extinguished and if anyone was injured?"
Upon seeing Yang Xun, Liu Wei feigned anxiety and asked...
Yang Xun said with a sorrowful expression, "Last night, my son's room caught fire, and we found his body."
What!
Liu Wei feigned surprise: "How could your son be like this? Have you found out the cause of the fire?"
Yang Xun said, "Judging from the traces at the scene, it must have been my son who accidentally knocked over the oil lamp while drunk, causing the fire. What a wicked beast."
"If I hadn't come to the manor last night, this tragedy wouldn't have happened. I was wrong!" Liu Wei sighed in regret.
Shen Lian, standing to the side, remained expressionless, but inwardly marveled at Liu Wei's explosive acting skills.
"Your Highness is too serious!"
Yang Xun initially didn't believe the outcome, but the scene had already been burned down, and Yang Gun was burned beyond recognition, reduced to a pile of charred remains.
Only the jade pendant and thumb ring on his body prove that this person is the young master of the Yang family.
“This beast’s drinking led to his own downfall, and it has nothing to do with Your Highness.”
Yang Xun's face was full of sorrow, but he forced a smile in front of Liu Wei.
"Besides this son, I don't know if Master Yang has any other offspring."
"There is also a young son named Yang Lian, who is sixteen years old."
Yang Xun replied, "I was also drinking in the hall last night, but it's a pity I'm born out of wedlock."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Xun looked bewildered.
He remembered that Liu Wei was also a prince born out of wedlock, and wondered if speaking like this might offend Liu Wei.
"I am also born out of wedlock, and I lack a servant by my side. Why not let him come with me? I wonder if Master Yang would agree?"
Liu Wei felt somewhat embarrassed that he had eaten and drunk at someone else's house, burned their son, and brought a woman along with him.
Liu Wei suddenly remembered Yang Xun's youngest son, Yang Lian. He was gentle and refined, with a handsome appearance, and quietly stayed in a corner, drinking alone without saying a word.
But when Liu Wei glanced over occasionally, he noticed a glint in Yang Lian's eyes.
It's likely that Yang Lian saw a role model in Liu Wei.
"In that case, I thank Your Highness. I will immediately send my son to see Your Highness."
Yang Xun immediately sent someone to summon Yang Lian.
“Master Yang, my father has been seriously ill for many days, and I cannot delay any longer. I must set off today.”
Liu Wei then spoke to Yang Xun.
"Your Highness's filial piety has moved heaven and earth, and this old man dares not linger any longer," Yang Xun quickly replied.
Liu Wei smiled and said, "I have remembered the kindness of Master Yang in his hospitality, and I will repay him handsomely in the future."
Yang Xun immediately knelt down and kowtowed in gratitude: "It is already an honor for this old man that Your Highness has graced my humble abode with your presence, and I dare not presume to repay you."
"hehe!"
Liu Wei helped Yang Xun up, smiling without saying a word.
This was supposedly the hometown of Yang Biao, the Grand Commandant, but when he arrived, no members of the Yang family appeared. Instead, it was the third branch of the Yang family that came out to entertain him.
The Yang family of Hongnong, which produced three high-ranking officials for four generations, does not seem to be an impenetrable fortress.
