"Young master, master Hou is really in a rage!" Xiao Tong was extremely sympathetic to Yang Zixuan.

"Tsk tsk, we've ruined his grand plan. Your young master has a nice appearance, but this time it doesn't bring him enough benefits. I'm afraid he's already blown his beard and glared at us."

Yang Zixuan shook his head innocently.

Xiao Tong laughed bitterly: "I really don't understand what the Marquis is thinking. Young master is clearly many times stronger than the Crown Prince, yet..."

"It's not like you didn't see it. He treated me as his elder brother's help in nurturing me. If I didn't work hard on my own, would he look after me?"

Yang Zixuan coldly snorted. In the eyes of the Marquis of Loyalty, nothing was as important as a family inheritance, and nothing was as important as face!

Xiao Tong had to say: "Young master, this servant will instruct the coachman to drive the carriage into Office of the Crown Prince."

"At the same time, tell the leader of the caravan to directly return to the guest courtyard to guard the goods, and then send the goods back to each store tomorrow."

Xiao Tong immediately got out of the carriage to pass on the message. When the sunset looked like red iron as it swayed back and forth, Yang Zixuan's carriage had already stepped on the afterglow to enter the Office of the Crown Prince.

The news of Yang Zixuan returning to the capital quickly spread to Marquis of Loyalty's ears. Today was a day when the cicadas were chirping, and he was napping inside the house.

"Young master!" Young Master? " Xiao Tong extended his hand and poked him.

As Yang Zixuan was sleeping soundly, he reached out to wave the disturbing sound in his ears, and turned around to continue sleeping.

"Young Master, wake up!"

"Hm ~ ~!"

Seeing him fall asleep again, Xiao Tong had no choice but to shout by his side: "Young master, the Marquis has sent someone!"

"Alright, let's sleep a little longer!" Yang Zixuan said loudly.

After saying that, he opened his eyes abruptly, turned his head and looked at Xiao Tong, saying: "What did you say just now?"

"Young Master, Master Hou has sent someone to invite you back." Xiao Tong was already planning which medicine to prepare.

Yang Zixuan rubbed his forehead and said: "Go and inform the person that I'm going to take a seat at the gentlemen's place."

He knew that he would not be able to escape this calamity, so he planned to first report back to his mister about the matter of returning home.

"Young master, I heard that the Marquis is already angry!" Xiao Tong reminded him worriedly.

Yang Zixuan laughed coldly: "Since that woman came, when did you think that father had reason?" The Marquis of Loyalty was the leader of the team, but he didn't understand the twists and turns of the house.

"Young master, someone said Master Hou has given us instructions. Young master is limited to returning to the manor before sunset. Otherwise …" Xiao Tong was unable to continue.

Yang Zixuan got up from the bed, stretched and said: "Go get some water. Sigh, does his old man dare to come to Office of the Crown Prince to catch me?" Civil servants and generals were like fire and water.

Xiao Tong immediately got some water for him and helped him out of bed. He then went to inform the servants, which Yang Zixuan took out a paper fan and went to Mister Zhang's place to report that he had matters to attend to at home today.

After circling around Office of the Crown Prince for a long time and looking at the sunset, he finally took Xiao Tong and a few servants back to the house of the Marquis.

When they arrived at the entrance of the manor, there was already a steward waiting there. When he saw him, he respectfully said, "Second Young Master, Master Hou is currently in the main hall in a rage. You'd better go quickly!"

He then waved his hand and indicated for the others to take the reins in Yang Zixuan's hands. With a smile, he said: "Second Young Master, please quickly come in!"

This manager was also a shrewd person, the Marquis' son was a slut that couldn't be helped. Yang Zixuan was going to pass the Hall Competition at the end of this year, how could he dare to neglect it so easily.

Arriving at the courtyard in front of the main hall, the servants held their breath. When they saw him coming over, the girl behind the curtain pushed a girl beside her and said, "Second Young Master is back!"

The little girl, who had been pushed, stood firmly and bowed before turning around to report in.

He touched his chin, a look of calculation flashed past his eyes, it seemed that Madam Hou had put in a lot of effort.

The moment Yang Zixuan entered the main hall, before he could even clearly see the people inside, he heard the Marquis of Loyalty, who was seated on top of the main hall, slammed the table, and shouted: "Kneel!"

When he heard this, he obediently knelt down, looking as obedient as he could be.

The Madam Hou looked at Yang Zixuan with hidden hatred, and quickly pulled on Marquis of Loyalty's sleeves, advising him: "Master Hou, the child is still young, if we did something wrong, we can slowly teach him."

When the Marquis of Loyalty heard her, his nose started to emit white smoke. He pointed at Yang Zixuan with his rough fingers and said: "Hmph, he's still young, a man who's about to get married, what's so young about that?"

Then he softened his tone and said: "I know you feel heartache for him, and I know you feel guilt because of Aunt Liu's death."

Yang Zixuan who was kneeling below shivered upon hearing this, and quietly raised his head to look at Madam Hou.

Madam Hou kindly said, "Master Hou, you haven't gotten married yet!"

The word "married" had successfully stirred Marquis of Loyalty's sensitive nerve. This was his shame, to be cheated by his own son, how could he not be angry!

"Hmph, you evil creature!" "How dare you lie to me!" Marquis of Loyalty was even angrier.

It turned out that after Yang Zixuan left the capital for Shu Province, Master Hou was very pleased that he had obtained a capable marriage engagement. Since the Emperor was busy with the matter of picking items, Master Hou did not want to send anyone else over first. He only waited for the matter of selecting items to be announced before sending a message to Yang Zixuan.

One day, when the Madam Hou saw that he was in a good mood, he asked: "Master Hou, even if Zhi Er and Xuan'er have an idea about their marriage, since the old lady has returned to the house, shouldn't we announce the good news to her?"

Marquis of Loyalty thought for a bit and felt that this was a joyous occasion, so he said: "After dinner tonight, let's go pay respects to her."

When Madam Hou saw that he did not even mention Yang Zixuan's marriage, he became even more confused. Could it be that the little village girl from back then had soared to the heavens?

He then asked: "Yes, Zhi Er's choice of marriage was not bad. Although my wife's family is only at the fifth rank, but as the saying goes, a man should marry his wife well. This is a matter that goes through common sense, I think the old lady will not be unhappy, Xuan'er's wife is a little far away from home …"

I assume you already know that your second wife is the niece of Zuo Renyou, the history of the salt trial in Sichuan. I heard that there is no direct daughter in the current generation of the Zuo family, so I put her in my hands and pampered her.

The more Marquis of Loyalty talked, the happier he became. Even if his second wife's father was a small official, with Zuo Renyou's support, he would definitely be successful in the future.

"I heard that the second wife's brother is a raising child. He was personally approved by the emperor for one matter. Together with Xuan'er, we can skip the exam and directly enter the Office of the Crown Prince."

Hearing this, Madam Hou felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and her legs slanted unsteadily to the side for a moment. Luckily, the Shen Mama by her side reacted quickly, and quickly supported her.

"Madam, please slide carefully on the ground!"

The Madam Hou woke up from his panic, and after filtering the words from the Marquis of Loyalty, he laughed: "Then I can be at ease. Xuan'er was originally a promising person, but now she has obtained a refined daughter-in-law, in the future she will be able to rule over everyone on her own. I can also save myself a lot of trouble, it's almost noon, Master Hou, how about I make some preparations to walk around with the two families."

Madam Hou pursed his lips and laughed, "This is something I should have done." On her face, there was an additional shyness from Marquis of Loyalty's praise. Mrs Xu was still half old and flirtatious as always.

Seeing that, the Marquis of Loyalty's heart was moved, and he said: "I will go back to my room to rest tonight."

The Madam Hou was overjoyed as he said, "Yes, Master Hou. I will send someone to prepare a banquet and send it to my parents' home. But Master Hou, where is Xuan'er's Yuefeng family?"

"Don't you know?" Marquis of Loyalty looked at her strangely.

Madam Hou asked: "You're not the one who should know?"

She quietly sized him up once more before saying, "Before Xuan'er left the capital, she told me that the marquis had already agreed to let me know so I didn't ask any further questions."

How could the Marquis of Loyalty not understand the meaning behind his words? He angrily flung his sleeves and said: "I will be back soon. You should first suppress this matter and only talk about Zi Zhi."

"Yes, master Hou!" The Madam Hou saw the Marquis of Loyalty leaving the room in a flustered and exasperated manner, the corners of his mouth raised up quickly as he said to the Shen Mama beside him: "Come, let's go see the old lady. Don't let her know about this."

In just half a day or so, Mu Rousang's family and ancestors' background were already placed on the table in the Marquis of Loyalty's study room.

"Son of a bitch!" After Marquis of Loyalty finished reading a few pieces of paper, he angrily picked up his favorite teacup and threw it onto the ground. "Pa!" A crisp sound came from the study room.

Madam Hou stood outside the walls of the study room. After hearing the commotion inside, he gave a look to the little girl, who quickly went into the study room. In the time it took to brew a cup of tea, she returned to report.

"Have you asked further?" Madam Hou raised his head slightly, lowering his eyes to look at the little girl who had lowered her head and replied.

"But what?" Madam Hou's eyes revealed a murderous look.

"Yes, in the future Third Young Madam will definitely be the niece of the Lord Left Sentinel." After saying that, the little girl shrunk her neck in an attempt to minimize her own presence.
