Xiao Ze had been very diligent ever since he entered the Ministry of Justice to report on his duties. In addition, even though Xiao Ze had gotten the champion spot at such a young age, he was actually willing to enter the Ministry of Justice to start from the bottom. For a time, Xiao Ze's reputation was growing, and the emperor was naturally appreciating him more and more.
Two days ago, the emperor praised Xiao Ze on handling a few cases and brought up Xiao Ze as a teacher in the Ministry of Justice.
After leaving the court today, Xiao Ze saw Master Nan Gong and Master Liu conversing from afar. Out of etiquette, Xiao Ze went forward to greet them, and before he could even get close, Xiao Ze heard Master Nan Gong speaking, "Speaking of my family's Wan Er, she has a really strong temperament, because I forgot her at the Duke's Mansion. She was so sick last night, and threw up after not eating last night, and even had a fever this morning.
NanGong Yi's words were said with a frown, Lord Liu kindly advised, "My daughter is naturally pampered, but don't be anxious. I went back to the house and shouted at Wan Er, and the little girls that were playing around with each other all calmed down."
After hearing Lord Liu's words of consolation, Nangong Yi's mood eased a lot. On the surface he still looked a bit worried.
Right at that moment, Xiao Ze who was heading down the hall walked over and greeted him very politely, "Greetings Master Nan Gong, greetings Master Liu."
Master Nan Gong and Master Liu looked at Xiao Ze and nodded their heads politely.
"Master Nan Gong, just now, I heard that Nangong Waner got sick, is he currently bedridden?" Xiao Ze looked at Nangong Yi and asked respectfully.
"Yeah, that's right." Nan Gong Yi felt that Xiao Ze was not bad, his looks were very handsome, his tone was gentle and refined, and his person was humble and polite. He was not bad, thought Nangong Yi, smiling as he replied Xiao Ze.
"I have some relationship with Miss Nangong, and now that she's sick, I should go visit her. I'm going back to my house to change into my official clothes, then I'll visit Assistant Minister’s Residence."
Nan Gong Yi and Xiao Ze were naturally courteous, after that, Xiao Ze bowed and took his leave.
Nangong Yi looked at Xiao Ze's figure that was walking further away as if he thought of something, and a strange smile appeared on his face.
Seeing that Nangong Yi was looking at Xiao Ze's back as he left, Lord Liu smiled cautiously. He could not help but pat Nangong Yi on the shoulder, "What are you doing? Do you think that's your son? "
Nangong Yi looked at Lord Liu, "I thought he was my son-in-law."
"Don't go running around that muddy water, Master Xiao already has his eyes on Official Sun's family and has long planned to marry Master Sun. I advise you not to think too much, your Wan Er has already reached the age of marriage, you should be worried." Lord Liu patted Nangong Yi's shoulder again and said in a serious tone.
However, Nangong Yi did not agree with what Lord Liu had said, "Old Xiao is just messing around every day, and the matters of the children are matters that he can meddle in. He has high hopes for the daughter of the justice court and doesn't even want to see if his son likes it or not. If his son likes it, then he would have already betrothed to her."
"Alright, let's go back to the residence." Lord Liu did not say anything and went straight back to his residence.
Thus, when Liu Ruo ran to Assistant Minister’s Residence, she found that Xiao Ze had already gone there first, but had coincidentally gone there first.
Nangong Waner didn't know whether he had just recovered from his serious illness or what happened, he was not in a good mood. When he saw Liu Zha, he smiled a little loosely, "So it's like that, you're here."
Liu Ruo saw that Nangong Waner's face did not look good, and was also very worried, "What happened to you? "Why is it like the street is saying that you're not in good health?"
"Maybe he ate something bad. He'll be fine in a few days." Nangong Waner's answer was a little weak, his face was gloomy, and his eyes did not have the luster of before.
"Did you take your medicine?" Liu Ru seemed to have thought of something and asked with some concern.
Without waiting for Nangong Waner to reply, Xiao Ze took the initiative to reply, "I just took some medicine, the doctor that came to see me said that there is nothing wrong, I will be fine after resting for a few days."
Liu Ru frowned as she looked at Nangong Waner for a while. She kept having the feeling that Nangong Waner was a little strange, not having fun as usual, but feeling sick to her stomach. But Liu Zhe endured the doubt in his heart and didn't say anything on the surface.
"Xiao …" Xiao Ze, when did you come? " Perhaps, because they had met a bit more often, Liu Ruo's conversation with Xiao Ze was no longer as shy and stiff as before. At least, in Nangong Waner's eyes, it had become a lot smoother.
Xiao Ze looked at Liu Zhe, although there was a light smile on his face, but when Liu Zhe saw it, he felt like something had suddenly struck into her calm heart, causing ripples on the surface.
"When we were going down, I met Lord Assistant Minister and Lord Liu chatting. When I heard Lord Assistant Minister said that Miss Nangong was sick, I came to visit." Xiao Ze said softly.
"Young Master Xiao, there is no need to be so courteous. We are of similar age, and our names are usually compatible with each other. You can call me Wan Er, and I will also call you Xiao Ze. This is what it is." Nangong Waner laughed and suggested.
"Alright, Wan Er, that's how it is." Xiao Ze very obediently followed the instructions and called for someone.
Nangong Waner was not as inflexible as he thought, Liu Ru's marriage to him was definitely not boring, it was only that he had to plan things out for Liu Ru more.
Perhaps because of Xiao Ze and Liu Ruo accompanying him, after the boring period of time, Nangong Waner gradually recovered a lot of color, and his spirit had also recovered quite a bit.
In the afternoon, Xiao Ze told her a few interesting cases of the Ministry of Justice on and off. Nangong Waner and Liu Zhe were people who liked gossiping, so they had no resistance towards these kinds of gossips and storytelling.
Xiao Ze was at least able to tell a good story. Nangong Waner was really satisfied more and more, and looking back at Liu Zhe's intoxicated expression, "Worthy of death," Nangong Waner despised Liu Zai in his heart.
The Assistant Minister’s Residence prepared dinner, and Madam Yang came to Nangong Waner's room to call for people to eat.
However, Madam Yang was extremely passionate, "Wan Er has been unhappy ever since he returned to the Assistant Minister’s Residence, and he even fell sick due to anxiety. It's all thanks to you two that he recovered, and stayed back to eat some food. Maybe with more people, Wan Er would be able to eat two more bowls of rice." When Madam Yang said this, he was mainly looking at what Xiao Ze said. Xiao Ze had always been polite, so it was not good to stubbornly reject him. Too enthusiastic.
