Zhao Yun couldn't resist his mother and aunt, so he got on the carriage with his cousin. He was urged to go to Jinxiu Villa.

On the carriage, Zhao Yun looked at his cousin who was constantly adjusting her clothes and kindly reminded her.

"Alan, you still need to be mentally prepared and don't have too high hopes."

"Taking you there, I don't know if the Marquis will be angry with me."

Alin, upon hearing this, lifted her head, a look of suppressed tears in her eyes.

"Brother, you don't have much faith in Alan, do you"

"I, I truly adore the Marquis."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun was filled with astonishment.

"Huh You admire the Marquis"

Arlan nodded, and the tears in the Hou Ye's eyes stopped instantly. A blush appeared on her face.

The Marquis is a renowned martial artist, unparalleled in his prowess and bearing. He is a hero without equal throughout the world. It's not strange that Alan admires him.

Zhao Yun chuckled softly and said nothing in response.

"I only agreed to take you to the mountain lodge with my mother. Once we're inside, you mustn't run around or talk out of turn."

"Don't just talk to the Marquis randomly!"

"If the Lord takes a liking to you, I will help you find out his intentions. But if he doesn't, you should obediently return with your aunt."

No matter what Zhao Yun said, Arlan just nodded repeatedly, as obedient as could be.

Zhao Yun saw that she was still obedient and didn't say anything more. In a blink of an eye, the carriage arrived at the gate of the manor.

When Chang He saw Zhao Yun getting out of the carriage, he hurried forward to greet him.

"General Xiao Zhao, how are you feeling"

Zhao Yun smiled and nodded as he got down from his carriage.

"Much better now, thanks to the various medicinal herbs and supplements sent by the Lord and his wife. Look at me, I've gained quite a bit of weight after recovering from my injuries."

Chang He chuckled and said, "Not fat at all. General Xiao Zhao is still as handsome and dashing as ever."

"Haha, Chang He brother, you really know how to talk."

"I am here today to thank Lord and his wife with a gift."

Long He's gaze faltered, and he saw the woman behind Zhao Yun. He asked in confusion:

"General Xiao Zhao, who is this young lady behind you"

"Oh, she's my cousin Alan. She came to the capital city for a few days of sightseeing but didn't know where to go, so my mother asked me to take her around."

"So it's your cousin, Miss Alan. Welcome to our Jinshiu Mountain Villa."

Their mountain villa's scenery is quite nice.

Though Chang He greeted with enthusiasm, Arlan ignored him and even looked at him with slight disdain. Chang He had followed Fang Jinxiu for many years to learn the business, so he'd met all sorts of people and immediately sensed that this girl might not be as easy to get along with as she seemed.

He smiled and retracted his gaze, no longer paying attention to Alin.

"General Xiao Zhao, please come in."

Zhao Yun didn't pay attention to these details at all. He told his servant to bring the things and followed him into the mountain villa.

"As he walked, he asked, 'Is Yu Ge at home today'"

"In."

"He's fine, Brother Yu is home, so his sister-in-law must be at home too."

Upon hearing that the Lord was home, Arlan's heart leaped with joy and she hurried after him.

After entering, Alan's eyes scanned the place frequently, and his face occasionally showed excitement.

Once she became the concubine of the Marquis, all of this could be hers!

"Arlan, what are you daydreaming about Hurry up and catch up!"

Zhao Yun and Zhang He were talking when Zhao Yun turned his head to see his cousin staring at the scenery of the manor. He helplessly called out to her loudly.

His aunt has always lived in the countryside, and his cousin also grew up there, so they are not very worldly.

Uncle and Aunt weren't the kind of people who cared about wealth, so he felt comfortable bringing his cousin. It didn't matter if she embarrassed him; as long as he could fulfill his mother and aunt's expectations, that was all that mattered.

"Oh oh, here it comes."

Alan quickly restrained her expression and followed him. Changhe led her to the living room.

"General Xiao Zhao, Miss Alar, please wait here for a moment while I inform the Marquis."

Before leaving, Chang He had his servants bring the two of them a variety of tea, snacks, and fruit.

Zhao Yun often came to Jinxiu Villa, happy to see the tea, snacks, and fruits, and even invited Alan to share them.

"Arlan, you try some too, sister-in-law's tea here is delicious, it's not something ordinary people can get to eat."

After Arin sat down, she didn't even look at him and just pursed her lips.

"It's just some snacks, I've eaten plenty in town."

After arriving in the capital, my aunt also took me to many places. There's a restaurant called Yuba Food House, where the tea snacks and fruit drinks are simply divine! And they aren't cheap either.

When A-Ran was speaking, Zhao Yun's hands and mouth never stopped. He ate and nodded at the same time.

Hearing my cousin mention the fruit tea at Yum Bar, my gaze shifted from the teacup in my hand.

"You're talking about this fruit juice, right"

He handed her the freshly poured fruit tea, and Arlan was taken aback.

"This, this is the fruit drink from Yu Bar Restaurant!"

Alan lifted his teacup and took a sip. The taste was exactly the same, even richer and more flavorful here somehow.

"Hmm, Yu Ba Restaurant... no wonder it sounded familiar."

"The current owner of this restaurant is your sister-in-law."

"I'm telling you, Arlan, when you see Madam Hou later, you have to be respectful. She's a good person, just don't say anything out of line."

Arlan was holding her teacup, enjoying it quite happily. As soon as she heard the words "Madam Hou," the smile on her face immediately faded by a few degrees.

"Oh, I see, cousin."

Looking at the tempting snacks on the table, Alan suddenly lost his appetite.

In a short while, Fang Jinshu and Zong Yu arrived together. Zhao Yun immediately stood up and greeted them as soon as he saw them.

"Brother Yu, sister-in-law."

Fang Jinxiu walked over with a smile, she had naturally noticed Zhao Yun bringing along a strange girl.

"Has General Xiao Zhao recovered"

Zhao Yun nodded vigorously, "It's all good now, sister-in-law, look, she's so healthy and strong!"

To make sure Fang Jinxiu believed him, he even raised both arms repeatedly, almost jumping up and down to show how healthy his body was.

"Okay, okay, it's fine now."

Zhao Yun laughed and said, "This is all thanks to the medicinal herbs and tonics sent by my sister-in-law. Look, I've gained some weight."

When the two were speaking, Arlan had been staring at Zongyu since he entered the room, her eyes never leaving him. She gazed at him with infatuation.

She was acting way too obviously, her gaze so blatant that even after Zhao Yun pulled at her sleeve to signal her to tone it down, she still blushed and looked shy, occasionally sending longing glances towards Zong Yu.

Fang Jinshu smiled and didn't take it to heart.

Given Zhao Yun's character, he wouldn't casually bring a woman with ulterior motives to the estate.

This girl has two points of resemblance between her eyebrows and him, she might be a relative, such as a cousin. Zhao Yun was probably forced by his family to bring this girl here.

"Have a seat."

Whenever Zong Yu was at home, he hardly ever left Fang Jinshi's side. He would follow his wife everywhere she went.

Except for the time spent on official duties and attending court.

After Zhao Yun recovered, Zong Yu finally spoke the first words since he had arrived.

"Very good, since you're healed, come to report for work tomorrow."

At this time, Zhao Yun still didn't know what Zong Yu meant by those words, nor did he know how many official documents had piled up in the newly opened study that Zong Yu had created.

At that time, the Lord couldn't bear to be apart from himself, deeply feeling how important he was to the Lord.

He nodded vigorously with a silly grin.

"Of course, I'll report to the city defense camp tomorrow morning."

Zong Yu shook his head. "There's no need to go to the city defense camp, just come to the manor."

Zhao Yun was stunned, “Oh.”

But why would the report come to the manor He didn't dwell on it, anyway, if the Marquis ordered him to do something, he just did it.

When they were discussing official matters, Fang Jinshu would never interject casually. However, Alan suddenly spoke up.

"Cousin, the Marquis must have had his reasons for inviting you to the villa. Just obey him."e one day.If Zong Yu died and Fang Jinxiu became a widow, would he have a chance if he proposed to take her as his concubineHe didn't mind that she was married before, Fang Jinshi couldn't possibly be...
