Capítulo 821: Chapter 345: Fan Jun (Part 1)


Xiang Wei didn’t care at all about Yueyao’s tease. Not eating when there’s food? That’s what’s foolish.


The next day at noon, Xiang Wei received news: “Miss, Lord Fan has arranged to meet you tomorrow at the Fairy Home Restaurant.” The Fairy Home Restaurant in the Capital City is also quite renowned, just slightly inferior to the Hongfu Restaurant and Drunken Immortal Tavern.


Yueyao was not familiar with the Fairy Home Restaurant, but upon hearing the name, her first impression was that it sounded too tacky: “Just the Fairy Home Restaurant, didn’t mention which private room?”


Xiang Wei laughed and said, “Once we get to the Fairy Home Restaurant, someone will naturally guide us. Miss, you need to be prepared, don’t get scared tomorrow?”


Upon hearing this, Yueyao immediately envisioned a ferocious, menacing figure in her mind. She shivered: “You must accompany me tomorrow, don’t leave my side.” Yueyao wasn’t confident she could face that person calmly when the time came.


Xiang Wei suggested a bad idea: “Miss, if you don’t want anyone to know you privately arranged a meeting with Lord Fan, we should best go in disguise tomorrow! I delivered a message in disguise a few days ago too, so even if we encounter someone, it won’t be an issue.”


Yueyao shook her head: “No need.” This was a meeting; there was no need for a woman to disguise as a man. Yueyao detested dressing as a man; last time was for painting, a young lady shouldn’t be wandering the streets, so she had to compromise.


Xiang Wei cheerfully said, “Miss, let me tell you some interesting news.” Seeing Yueyao’s indifferent expression, Xiang Wei found her unamused: “I heard that the Lady of Marquis Weiyuan is proposing her niece for An Zhichen.”


Yueyao simply responded with an “Oh,” and said no more.


Xiang Wei sneakily remarked, “Aren’t you worried, Miss? The Fang Family, which the Lady of Marquis Weiyuan belongs to, is a prestigious family; her two brothers are high-ranking officials. The young lady proposed this time is the daughter of the second brother, who is a second-rank Provincial Governor.” Xiang Wei was quite surprised when she first heard this news!


Yueyao smiled and said, “Worried about what? If the Lady of Marquis Weiyuan truly cared for An Zhichen, she wouldn’t wait until now to arrange a marriage. This young lady is definitely unsuitable.” Now that An Zhichen is to be adopted, the Lady of Marquis Weiyuan immediately pushing her niece forward clearly indicates ill intentions.


Xiang Wei laughed and said, “It’s not entirely unsuitable; just a bit arrogant. However, it’s said the young lady is as beautiful as a celestial maiden; who knows, An Zhichen might fall for her.” Xiang Wei thought Yueyao was too confident in herself and needed a sense of urgency to be more proactive in marriage matters.


Yueyao said nonchalantly, “If An Zhichen were someone easily manipulated, he wouldn’t have secretly run off to Haikou to seek out the Second Old Grand Master of the An Family back then. Had he been that obedient, he would surely be a good-for-nothing by now. The Lady of Marquis Weiyuan’s scheme is flawed.”


Xiang Wei was genuinely surprised now: “How do you know An Zhichen ran off to Haikou back then? I don’t recall telling you that, Miss?”


Recalling past events, Yueyao smiled quietly: “Because I happened to return to my hometown back then and ran into him. I even lent him two hundred taels of silver for travel expenses. Thinking back, he might have thought I was an easy target at the time.”


Xiang Wei suddenly understood why Yueyao viewed An Zhichen differently; they had known each other long ago: “Miss, don’t you think he was a bit of a rogue? Covering his bill was one thing, but to borrow money outright! The bigger issue is, Miss, you still see him differently.”


Yueyao thought further than Xiang Wei: “I think An Zhichen is someone who doesn’t conform to norms and won’t be bound by rules. I find that admirable.” It takes great courage to boldly ask a young lady for a loan.


Xiang Wei had a feeling that her Miss had taken a liking to An Zhichen. Thinking of this, she couldn’t resist slandering him a bit: “Miss, there’s something I haven’t told you. An Zhichen has a violent streak; in just over half a year back at the Marquis’ household, he’s killed four people and maimed two. Now everyone in the Capital City knows An Zhichen as a bloodthirsty demon who kills without blinking an eye.”


Yueyao listened and lowered her head, lost in thought.


Seeing Yueyao like this, Xiang Wei began to regret. It wasn’t easy for the Miss to find An Zhichen favorable; if she changed her mind again, finding someone else would not be easy.
