Young Master Gao? Call me Little Grand Secretary!

The next morning, Gao Zhaoxing rushed to the Lin family's house. When he knocked on the door, the old man he had seen that day came out.

"Young master, what brings you here today?" The old man was as wary as ever. Now that his son-in-law was in jail, what was this playboy doing coming to see his daughter?

Don't do anything outrageous and ruin your daughter's reputation!

"Greetings, Instructor Zhang!" Gao Zhao cupped his hands and said, "I came to see Instructor Lin a few days ago, but I heard that something had happened to him. He's been confined to his studies at the Imperial Academy these past few days and hasn't been able to leave. I've finally found some free time today, so I've come to visit him!"

Upon hearing this, Instructor Zhang's expression softened slightly. He shook his head and sighed, about to speak, when he heard light footsteps behind him.

Gao Zhao peeked out and saw Zhang Yunniang walking briskly towards him. Today she was wearing a swirling skirt, and when she walked, she was as graceful as a fairy in the heavenly palace. She wore a plain silk jacket, as light as smoke, and underneath she wore a plain silk bodice, which was full and bulging.

Today was different from usual. With Old Zhang beside him, he only glanced at her three or four times before looking away and giving a slight bow, saying, "Greetings, sister-in-law!"

"Young master, how is my husband's situation?" Zhang Yunniang rushed over, not even bothering to bow, and hurriedly asked.

Gao Zhao looked around, sighed softly, and said, "Let's talk inside!"

When Instructor Zhang saw that he had indeed come for the matter of his son-in-law, he stepped aside to make way for him.

The three entered and took their seats in the hall. Zhang Yunniang hurriedly asked, "Young master, is there any way to save my husband? He must have been framed!"

As Gao Zhao looked at the glimpse of white skin revealed on her chest when she leaned forward, soft and smooth like steamed cake, he couldn't help but feel an urge to take a bite!

"Young Master!" Zhang Yunniang was so worried about her husband that she didn't notice him. Seeing that he didn't respond, she asked again.

Gao Zhao then withdrew his gaze and said seriously, "Instructor Lin's matter is very troublesome! I already asked my father yesterday, and even he is powerless to help!"

"Ah! Even the Grand Commandant can't do anything about it!" Zhang Yunniang exclaimed, her expression dejected.

Instructor Zhang sighed, saying dejectedly, "I've been running around these past few days, spending money and asking for favors, but all to no avail. I never imagined even the Grand Commandant couldn't help me!"

Hearing the disbelief in his words, Gao Zhao said, "Things are different now. The Prefect of Kaifeng was impeached by the Censor a few days ago for privately selling children from orphanages. Although no concrete evidence was found, he was still thrust into the spotlight. Now, the eyes of the world are on Kaifeng. Who would dare to break the law? My father naturally doesn't want to cause trouble at this time!"

"Oh! What should we do!" Zhang Yunniang was anxious and couldn't help but shed tears.

Instructor Zhang sighed repeatedly. He had heard about this from the officials in Kaifeng Prefecture. At first, he thought it was just an excuse to make him spend more money. But now that Gao Zhao said this, even Gao Qiu didn't dare to get involved. It seemed to be true!

Gao Zhao looked at Zhang Yunniang, who was crying with tears streaming down her face, and felt a tingling sensation in his heart. How could this person be so beautiful even when she was crying! It's just a pity that there was an ungrateful old man named Zhang in the room, otherwise, I would definitely have comforted her properly!

"Sister-in-law, don't be sad. Although my father can't get involved in this matter, it's equally difficult for others to do things that are done under the guise of public office. As long as there is evidence, we can definitely clear Instructor Lin's name."

Zhang Yunniang immediately stopped crying. She believed that Lin Chong would not do such a thing, but then she thought, where would she get the evidence for this? Isn't it all just a woman's word?

It was that day she acted like that with this young master in front of her... In short, no one else could possibly produce any evidence!

Seeing him alternate between crying and blushing, Gao Zhao found it amusing and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'll think of another way. I'll definitely save Instructor Lin's life!"

Both of them knew that these were words of comfort and could not be taken seriously, so they could only express their gratitude!

Gao Zhao said a few more words, but with Instructor Zhang by his side, he felt uncomfortable being so secretive, so he got up to take his leave, intending to go and scare Lin Chong, otherwise how could he let him know how great the young master's kindness was!

After seeing Gao Zhao off, Zhang Yunniang had just closed the door when she turned around and saw her father staring intently at her with a serious expression. Surprised, she quickly asked, "Father, what's wrong?"

"What is your relationship with this young master?" Instructor Zhang asked in a deep voice.

Zhang Yunniang panicked and hurriedly said, "No, it's alright! It's just that my husband is familiar with him and brought him back for drinks once..."

Coach Zhang, being an old and shrewd man, could easily see the panic and guilt in his daughter's expression. He sighed softly and turned to walk forward.

Just when Zhang Yunniang thought she had gotten away with it, Instructor Zhang suddenly spoke up: "My son-in-law is currently in prison, his fate unknown. Even if you have other ideas, you should wait until everything is settled before considering them!"

"Oh! Father, what are you saying!" Zhang Yunniang's pretty face first turned bright red, and then turned deathly pale.

Instructor Zhang turned around, looked at his daughter seriously, and said, "I've seen how Lin Chong has treated you all these years since you married him. You can't bully him now!"

"I...I didn't..." Zhang Yunniang choked back tears, feeling wronged and ashamed, "I really didn't have such thoughts!"

"That Gao Yanei has a terrible reputation in the capital; he's definitely not a good person! Don't be fooled by his sweet talk!"

Unmoved by his daughter's tears, Coach Zhang continued, "If you truly do something despicable, I will not forgive you!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yunniang cried even more bitterly, collapsing to her knees with a thud, sobbing uncontrollably, "Father, I truly have no feelings for him whatsoever! If my husband hadn't been framed this time, I wouldn't have even spoken a single word to him!"

Seeing him cry like this, Instructor Zhang's heart softened. He sighed and said, "Alright, that's all I have to say. You understand! I'll have your sister come and stay with you for a few days, so you'll have someone to look after you!"

Zhang Yunniang stood up, her heart filled with bitterness. She knew that her father still didn't believe her. He had sent her younger sister to keep an eye on her and prevent her from doing anything shameful!

She felt wronged, but she couldn't say anything and could only nod silently in agreement.

Meanwhile, Gao Zhao had already fled to the Kaifeng Prefecture prison!

Strictly speaking, a serious offender like Lin Chong is not allowed to be visited in prison, but Gao Zhao paid for it!

That's a perfectly valid reason!

Thinking about how many days I've been working so hard for Lin Chong, yet this is the first time I've come to visit him in prison, I feel quite embarrassed!

"Instructor Lin, you're out of your mind! How could you do such a thing!"

Upon seeing Lin Chong's ashen face, Gao Zhao immediately looked heartbroken!

"Young Master!" Lin Chong was both surprised and delighted that Gao Zhao was the first to come to see him. He quickly struggled to his feet and said in a sorrowful voice, "Young Master, I have been wronged..."

Gao Zhao raised his hand to interrupt him, and said in a deep voice, "It's useless to say any of this now. You're in big trouble this time. I've asked around, and you might be executed. Do you have any evidence to prove your innocence?"

Lin Chong also looked desperate, shaking his head and smiling bitterly, "No, I was drunk that day, and when I woke up I was tied up..."

Upon hearing this, Gao Zhao frowned, paced back and forth in front of the cell door a few times, and suddenly whispered, "If there's no evidence, I'm afraid there's only one way! I'll send someone to break into the prison, hack all these guards to death with a few strokes of the knife, and you can escape in the process!"

The jailer leading the way: "..."

You're discussing such important matters without keeping them hidden from others?

Say it to my face!

They're not treating me like a human being at all!
