When Xie Zhan returned home, his confidants came to report, "Patriarch, Miss Lu sent a message that she wanted to see you."

After the confidant finished speaking, he lowered his head. This was the third time Miss Lu had asked to meet their patriarch.

Xie Zhan thought for a while, "Then tomorrow night, Minghua Building."

It was night, Xie Zhan declined Chen's invitation to stay overnight, and came out of Chen's house.

As soon as he got into the carriage, he heard his confidants say to him, "Patriarch, Miss Lu has arrived at Minghua Building for about an hour."

Xie Zhan's brows were cold, and he turned his thumb, "Go and see."

When passing the city gate, Xie Zhan opened the curtain and took a look, and found that the city gate was brightly lit, and it was the city gate guard who was patrolling overnight.

Outside the city, countless victims of the disaster were stopped outside, crying and shouting as they wanted to enter the city.

"Patriarch?"

"Continue to go."

When Xie Zhan arrived at Minghua Building, he found Lu Fei drinking.

Seeing him coming, she smiled, "Are you here?" Her eyes were a little drunk.

Xie Zhan sat upright and said calmly, "We'll talk when you wake up."

Lu Fei chuckled, "Okay, I'll wash my face first." Then she raised her hand and signaled the maid to help her up.

Her personal maid gave Xie Zhan a grateful glance, and then helped her young lady into the inside.

Xie Zhan drank the tea in his cup, and didn't take a second look at the wine next to him that smelled of wine.When he was outside, he never drank alcohol unless he had to.The situation of the Xie clan, his situation, required him to stay awake and deal with all changes.

Inside, the sound of Lu Fei washing up could be heard faintly.

Xie Zhan sat upright, his posture unchanged.

Lu Fei is the eldest daughter of Lu Yuan, the head of the Lu family, one of the six great families in the southern land. Her mother is Lu Yuan's original spouse, but her mother died young and only gave birth to her one child.

Now Lu Xihua, the young patriarch of the Lu clan, is the son of his step-wife, and the relationship between Lu Fei and Lu Xihua's siblings is not close.

Lu Fei's mother, the Ruan family, was the daughter of a well-known family in Linchuan County. At that time, the Lu family was in crisis. It was Mr. Lu who brought his grandson to Linchuan to ask for his friend's daughter to marry him. It is unknown what happened during the discussion.Later, the Ruan family married into the Lu family with a large dowry and helped the Lu family through that crisis.

After the Ruan family passed away, although Lu Fei was the eldest daughter of the Lu family, she was not favored by the Lu family, but fortunately, with the old man Lu watching over her, she was treated well.

After the death of Mr. Lu, Lu Fei lived under his stepmother, and his temperament became softer and softer.

Linchuan Ruan's family didn't see it well, so they took her to live for two years a few years ago. After returning, her temperament became much more cheerful and tough.

The stepmother and the others didn't dare to bully her anymore, but the two sides fought tit for tat, and secretly fought against each other several times.

Because Lu Fei was washing up and Xie Zhan was sitting upright drinking tea, their box felt rather silent.

But the box next door was very noisy.

One of the six great aristocratic families in the Southland, the Zhu family, Zhu Congwen, and young master Zhu are entertaining friends in Minghualou.

"Zhu Congwen, your father is too cruel, and sent you to Zhu Ya Island to endure hardship!"

"Yeah, if he didn't still love you, I would doubt whether you are his own son."

"You don't want to leave when you come back this time. If he asks you to go to Zhuya Island again, you will sue your mother!"

Zhu Congwen sneered at their words, "Nonsense, what do you know?! My father is deeply in love and responsible."

If his father hadn't sent him to Zhuya Island, how could he have fallen into a cave while hunting and found out that big secret?

Now what he is scratching his head is thinking of some way to get the little Zhu Yadao of the Chen family.

"No, does suffering have something to do with the deep responsibility of love? Brother Zhu, you should say, 'Parents love their sons, and they plan for the long-term'."

Zhu Congwen waved his hand, "Whatever! Anyway, it means the same thing."

The others sneered.

"Come on, let's have a drink. I'm going to Zhuya Island now, and it's rare to come back. Everyone must eat and drink well. If you don't have enough wine, get it, and if you don't have enough food, order it!"

"Brother Zhu, have you gotten rich? Such a big deal?"

"Hey, I didn't get rich, it's just that I rarely come back." Zhu Congwen felt that his mouth was still tight.

Xie Zhan's box was next to Zhu Congwen's box, and when someone from the next door came in and out, there was a lively sound from inside.

Xie Zhan looked down, the fish had already arrived at the fishing spot, and the next step was to let it take the bait.

At this time, Lu Fei came out after washing up, and she became sober.

Xie Zhan asked her directly, "You have been looking for me again and again, what's the matter?"

Lu Fei didn't expect him to be so straightforward, so she smiled wryly, and expressed her depression and anger at the Lu family.

Xie Zhan listened calmly, and finally said, "Since you are dissatisfied, then resist." Xie Zhan believes that too many people have comforted her, and she should have heard of all kinds of comfort.He didn't bother to talk about it.

"How to resist?"

"Think for yourself."

Lu Fei tilted her head, "Like the girl you told me before?"

"You decide."

"Can you tell me more about her?" Lu Fei begged.

Xie Zhan pondered for a moment, Lu Fei stared at him closely.

Finally, Xie Zhan let go, "Yes..."

The last time there was a horse scare incident in Jingci Temple, and later her loyal servants found out that her carriage and horse had been tampered with, and it was none other than her good brother Lu Guanghua.

When she went to thank Xie Zhan, she was a little disheartened.

It was Xie Zhan who told her a story, and there was a heroine in the story.

This heroine has made a marriage agreement since she was a child, but because of the wrong marriage, her fiancé's family dislikes her.

The story is about how she got rid of that bad engagement and found another good marriage through her own hard work from a state where she was in a marriage contract at the mercy of others.

And the original fiancé's family was impressed by her wisdom from the initial disgust.

In the end, the heroine became the actual person in power of both her natal family and her husband's family.

Xie Zhan used the shell of a fairy tale to tell this story.

Lu Fei listened to it at the time, but she didn't take it seriously, she just thought that a script is a script.

It was Xie Zhan who told her that the story was true and the heroine also existed.

It was a great shock and inspiration to her.

A few years ago, she was in the Ruan family, and her grandfather also taught her to do business.

She sometimes felt that Lu Guanghua was as stupid as a pig, and some of his decisions made people laugh.If it wasn't for her father to guard him from behind, the Lu family wouldn't know how much they would have lost.

She laughed at it before, but now, if the heroine in Xie Zhan's story can do that, why can't she?

After Xie Zhan finished telling the story, he only said, "If you don't want to live on others, you have to work hard yourself, and no one can help you."

Lu Fei looked at the handsome but indifferent man in front of him, and asked mysteriously, "Can't you help me?"

Xie Zhan admitted directly, "Yes, I can't help you either. The only thing people can rely on is themselves."

After Lu Fei came back from Jingci Temple, she asked someone to check on Xie Zhan. She knew how hard he worked in the Chen family, and he never gave up hope.

Lu Fei thought to herself, give it a try, no matter how bad the situation is, it won't be worse than it is now.

Lu Fei confirmed with him, "Xie Zhan, is there really such a woman?"

"Have."

"who is she?"

"I'll let you know if I have a chance in the future."

Lu Fei was a little unhappy.

"You've been out for a long time, it's time to go back, let's go, I'll take you out."

The two stood up.

The confidant at the door immediately said, "Patriarch, I'm going to prepare the carriage!" As he spoke, he accidentally pushed the door too hard, and the door hit the wall with a bang.

Xie Zhan frowned displeased.

"Patriarch, I'm sorry, the little one is too careless."

Xie Zhan didn't say anything for a long time, and waved him to go down.

"Let's go too, this way—"

At this time, the sound of the door slamming just now startled Zhu Congguang and others who were having fun in the box next door, and the servant he brought was even more frightened and accidentally spilled the wine in the glass on him.

The servant hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, young master, my servant will go downstairs and get you a set of clean clothes!" After speaking, he quickly walked out the door.

Zhu Congguang looked at the wet clothes and wanted to scold him, but he was blocked by his series of movements. He was so angry that he glared in the direction of the boy angrily.

At this time, the door of the box was opened, and Zhu Congguang saw Xie Zhan's profile flashing outside the door, and heard his last words.

From his angle, he could also see a corner of the woman's snow-colored skirt.

Zhu Congguang reacted very quickly, he rushed out the door quickly, saying, "Eat slowly, I'll go change my clothes."

He rushed to the door, just in time to see Xie Zhan escorting a woman downstairs, followed by two servants.But I can't see the woman's face clearly.

Zhu Congguang thought for a while, returned to the box, and went to the big window.

Sure enough, he didn't keep him waiting, and saw two carriages parked not far from the gate one after another. Xie Zhan sent the woman into the carriage first, and then boarded the carriage and left.

This time, Zhu Congguang saw the woman's face and recognized her identity - Lu Fei, the eldest daughter of the Lu family.

At this moment, Zhu Congguang really wanted to look up to the sky and laugh out loud, but there was nowhere to find him, and it took no effort to get it.

Zhu Congguang secretly thought about his good luck, but he didn't know that there is a saying that a good hunter always appears as a prey.
