Young Master Gao? Call me Little Grand Secretary!

Gao Zhao looked at Feng Sanniang, whose face was as cold as ice, and suddenly smiled, "I am a little happy! But mainly it's because I saw my sister again, especially seeing her jealous of me!"

Feng San Niang was furious and cold. The last time she encountered such a shameless person was also the last time, and it was him!

He deceived himself, then abandoned him after starting the affair. Now that he's met his victim again, he's so calm and collected, acting like nothing happened!

She just couldn't understand why a normal person wouldn't feel ashamed when faced with such a situation.

How could he feel no shame at all, and instead force himself...twice!

Recalling the scene just now, she was filled with rage. In broad daylight, under the open sky, he hadn't even entered the house; he was right there in the courtyard...

Moreover, at the crucial moment, he even called that little maid in. At that moment, she was so ashamed and angry that she wanted to smash her head against a tree and die!

Even now, just thinking about it makes my heart race and fills me with unbearable shame.

"Sister, aren't you happy to see me again?" Gao Zhao suddenly sat up and pulled Feng San Niang into her arms.

Feng Sanniang was furious and wouldn't tolerate his insolence, so she immediately started struggling.

"If you move again and ignite my anger, you'll be responsible for putting it out!"

Gao Zhao reached out and put his arm around her waist, whispering something in her ear. Feng San Niang didn't dare struggle; her face flushed red as she glared at Gao Zhao and spat, "Bastard! Shameless! Vulgar!"

Gao Zhao didn't care at all, and simply put his arm around her, saying, "It seems that what I did back then really hurt you, sister! But it's never too late to mend things. Now that you're back by my side, it must be fate!"

"Bah! Even if we're destined to be together, it's a tragic fate!" Feng Sanniang slapped away his Lu Shan-like hand and angrily rebuked his frivolous words.

"What kind of talk is that? Even a karmic entanglement is still a karmic entanglement, and a lover is still a husband!" Gao Zhao put the hand that had been slapped away back on her thigh, and seeing Feng San Niang's eyebrows furrowed, he quickly changed the subject.

"By the way, how did you end up working at the Commander's Mansion, sister?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Sanniang became even angrier. She glared at him coldly and gritted her teeth, saying, "It's all your fault! My reputation is completely ruined! I was originally planning to find someone else to marry so I would have a place to settle down in the future, but once people find out that I went to Kaifeng Prefecture to sue Sun Yuan, who would dare to take me in!"

Gao Zhao suddenly realized, then asked in surprise, "Then why did you have to come to the General's Mansion to work as a servant? Didn't I leave you some money back then?"

Feng Sanniang sneered repeatedly: "You did leave me some money, but do you think a woman like me dare to produce that pawn ticket? I'm afraid the moment the money is exposed, it'll be stolen! I might even lose my life!"

Gao Zhao chuckled awkwardly upon hearing this. He hadn't really considered the details back then. Giving an ordinary person so much money was not helping her at all; on the contrary, it was her death warrant.

"Sister is right, I really didn't think things through!" Gao Zhao admitted her mistake, then turned around to get the clothes, pulled out a stack of money vouchers, stuffed them into Feng Sanniang's collar, and said with a smile, "Sister, take this money and buy yourself some clothes!"

Feng Sanniang pulled out the money note, clutching it tightly in her hand, and said angrily, "What is this? Payment for prostitution?"

Gao Zhao, seeing her constantly speaking like this, immediately became angry and frowned, scolding, "What nonsense are you spouting? What do you mean a prostitute's fee can be so high!"

When Feng Sanniang saw that he actually compared her to those prostitutes, she felt wronged and turned around to fight him.

Gao Zhao quickly grabbed her hands and said angrily, "You're such an unreasonable woman! You said it yourself, and now you're blaming me!"

"So what if I'm being unreasonable!" Thinking of her current helpless situation, Feng Sanniang couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with sorrow. She broke free from Gao Zhao's hands, squatted on the ground, and began to cry bitterly.

"Why are you crying again?" Gao Zhao had no choice but to comfort her again, patting her back and saying, "Now that you know my identity, you will stay by my side from now on. I will never treat you badly! I won't say you'll live a life of luxury every day, but it will be much better than before."

As Feng Sanniang's sobs subsided, she couldn't help but start to ponder. Although this young master was no good, he was indeed very generous.

Now that I've fallen into this predicament, I have nowhere else to go!

It's better to save more money, so that even if he gets tired of you in the future, you'll have a way out!

"You're a habitual liar, and you're trying to fool me with that again!"

Upon hearing his tone, Gao Zhao knew that he had given in, so he squatted down and used sweet words to persuade Feng San Niang to turn her anger into joy and scold him.

"Don't worry! I won't abandon you from now on!" Gao Zhao stood up, patted his chest, and declared confidently, "Even if I go to another place in the future, I'll take you with me!"

"You're just saying nice things!"

Feng San Niang gave a coquettish cry and was about to stand up when Gao Zhao suddenly pressed his hands on her shoulders.

"My sister just said she went on a blind date? How could you do that! I'm so angry, I'm furious! What do you suggest we do?"

Feng Sanniang raised her head and looked her up and down, immediately understanding. Her pretty face flushed again, and she slapped the woman lightly, scolding her playfully, "Always such a shameless person!"

……

Gao Zhao spent most of the day at home, but instead of feeling the warmth of family, he was extremely tired. When he left, his steps were unsteady.

Shi Qian was dumbfounded. Could there be a monster in the palace that sucks away people's life essence?

He was full of energy when he came back this morning, how come he's turned into this state in such a short time!

However, Gao Zhao didn't say anything, and he didn't want to ask. He just waited until the person got into the car before driving away.

When Gao Zhao returned to the Biyong, it was still bright daylight. He staggered back to his dormitory and saw Su Mian and several other students being surrounded by a group of people who were talking eloquently about something.

Gao Zhao had no interest in paying attention, but as he passed by, he vaguely heard words like "girl" and "admiration," as well as the lewd laughter of a group of students.

He was dismissive of this. These young people were in the prime of their lives, full of youthful vigor and restlessness. But did that mean they could indulge their desires?

We scholars should restrain ourselves and return to propriety!

Is such lewd laughter in accordance with the rites of Zhou? Is it in accordance with morality?

Look how pure and detached I am from worldly desires!

Without even this much willpower, you can't achieve anything great!

Back in his dormitory, Gao Zhao saw that his brother was still studying diligently, and he couldn't help but feel a deep respect for him. This was the spirit that a Confucian scholar like himself should have!

One should remain completely unmoved by external things!

Just as he was feeling sentimental, Fan Tong hurriedly walked in. Upon seeing Gao Zhao, he was overjoyed and dragged him toward the furnace pavilion.

Seeing his smiling face, Gao Zhao couldn't help but ask curiously, "What? Did you succeed?"

Fan Tong chuckled and said in a low voice, "I've rented a house today and arranged for someone to clean it. I spoke to Miss Xiangnu about it today. The last two days of summer will be the end of the hottest period of summer, and I'll go pick her up then. Brother Gongming, would you like to come and have a drink with me then?"

"Haha, definitely!" Gao Zhao said with great enthusiasm, "I will definitely attend this wedding banquet!"
