The curtain of the carriage opened.
A red-robed woman stood out.
"I'm the daughter of the great scholar Cai Yong."”
It was none other than Cai Yan.
? Zhao Feng looked at the woman in red and was stunned.
This was because the woman in red was simply too beautiful.
He was about seventeen or eighteen years old.
She had a small oval face and was very delicate.
Her eyebrows were like willow leaves, her mouth was small, and her nose was slightly wrinkled. She looked very cute.
The most special thing was her eyes.
It was very spirited and ethereal.
Zhao Feng's first impression of her was that she was full of spiritual energy.
"Young lady, you don't look very pretty in this red dress.”
"You should wear light blue or pink to match your temperament.”
Cai Yan was slightly startled.
He thought to himself, How did this person know my favorite color?
Cai Yan's face reddened as Zhao Feng stared at her.
? But he still stubbornly looked at Zhao Feng and didn't give in.
But the slightly trembling fingers indicated that Cai Yan's heart was not calm.
"Why do you care what I wear?" Cai Yan said proudly.
Zhao Feng looked at Cai Yan's red dress and realised that it was a wedding dress.
"Young Lady, are you getting married? Are you going to marry someone from the Wei family?"
"So what?"
"Young Lady sure is bold, admitting it just like that? Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?"
"Hmph, it's better to kill him. I didn't want to get married in the first place, so I might as well die.”
The little servant girl hurriedly knelt on the ground and said anxiously,"Please spare my life."
"My family's young miss didn't want to get married in the first place. It was the master who forced young miss to marry into the Wei family.”
"Just like you, we hate the Wei family to the bone.”
"Oh? Could it be that Grand Scholar Cai married the girl to an old man of the Wei family?”
"No, it's not that. It's Wei Zhongdao. He's only twenty years old and is the son of the Wei family."”
"According to the matchmaker, he's a handsome man who's proficient in the four arts. He even said that he's very likely to be the next head of the Wei family.”
"Who is it? Wei Zhongdao?"
"That's right."
After the servant girl finished speaking, Zhao Feng and the others were trying to hold back their laughter.
?" Haha!"? Zhao Feng laughed.
The others couldn't help but laugh.
Even Xu Huang's previous fury was swept away as he shook his head and laughed.
"What are you laughing at?"
Zhao Feng smiled and said,"Does Grand Scholar Cai really only care about the books of the sages and ignore the outside world?"”
"You don't even know the other party's background, and you're in a hurry to marry your daughter?”
"That Wei Zhongdao is a well-known figure in Hedong County.”
"A few years ago, because she seduced a married man, it caused a huge commotion.”
"She was caught in bed and was not even given clothes. Her legs were broken and she was thrown on the street.”
"The Wei family felt embarrassed and did not even step forward.”
"This Wei Zhongdao crawled home on his own.”
"It's not over that his legs were broken, but Wei Zhongdao's interest is still undiminished.”
"He is often carried to brothels on a stretcher by servants. He goes there every two or three days.”
The more Cai Yan listened, the greener his face became.
When she heard the last part, she gritted her teeth like an angry lioness.
Actually, the Cai Family knew that they were suffering.
Cai Yong was indeed one of the greatest Confucians in the world.
His reputation was illustrious, and his attainments in Confucianism were also quite impressive.
However, there was a huge problem. Although Cai Yong was recognized as a great scholar, he did not have an official position.
Moreover, Cai Yong was so proud that he didn't want to charge a fee to become a disciple.
He was talented, but he couldn't earn much.
Cai Yong had also held official positions, such as a doctor and a counselor.
However, because of the party ban, Cai Yong was also affected.
Not only did he lose his official position, he almost lost his life.
On the way to exile in Shuofang, he was rescued.
He had fled to Jiangnan for twelve years, and his life was very difficult.
With the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Uprising, Liu Hongcai relented to the party members who had been imprisoned, allowing Cai Yong to return to Luoyang.
By marrying Cai Yan to Wei Zhongdao this time, Cai Yong even felt that he was climbing up the social ladder of the Wei family.
After all, the ancestor of the Wei family was Wei Qing.
Even if it was declining now, it was still much stronger than the Cai family.
Coupled with the matchmaker's exaggerated words.
Cai Yong agreed in a daze.
No one would have thought that the once prominent Wei family could actually nurture such a thing.
……
Zhao Feng looked at the furious Cai Yan.
He sighed in his heart. This was also a pitiful woman.
In other words, he met them.
What if they didn't meet?
Cai Yan's life from now on could be imagined. A fine young lady was considered to have fallen into a fire pit.
"Miss Cai, you know what Wei Zhongdao is like. Why don't you…"
Zhao Feng originally wanted to say that he should hurry back to Luoyang with the maids and guards.
Even if she broke off the engagement, it was still much better than marrying that lecher Wei Zhongdao.
But at this moment, the system's voice sounded.
"Ding…System Quest: Persuade Cai Yan to follow you back to Mount White Wave. System Reward: 3 lucky draws.”
Zhao Feng was a bit surprised by the system's mission.
However, he immediately changed his mind and said,"Why don't Miss Cai follow me into the mountains? Although you're a bandit, you can live a carefree life."”
"How can that do? After all, I am Cai Yong's daughter. If others knew about this, wouldn't I become a laughingstock?”
Zhao Feng said calmly," I have nothing to say since Miss Cai cares about her face. Although Wei Zhongdao is a lecher and a cripple, Miss Cai thinks that he is a good man. Marrying him might be better than being a bandit."”
"I don't want to marry over. I want to return to Luoyang. I want to cancel this marriage.”
"Does Miss Cai have the final say in this matter?"
"Don't you know that it's the order of parents and the words of a matchmaker?”
"Since Grand Scholar Cai is a great scholar, he will definitely pay attention to the word integrity. Would he break off the engagement because of your one-sided words?”
"Next time, Miss Cai will probably be sent to the Wei family.”
Zhao Feng's words made Cai Yan's face pale.
He thought about it again.
It was indeed as Zhao Feng said.
Cai Yong paid the most attention to his own integrity.
Wei Zhongdao was a cripple and a lecher.
Cai Yan even felt that even if Wei Zhongdao was a fool, Cai Yong would still fulfill his promise and marry her.
This era was like that.
For a promise, he could even give up his life, let alone the happiness of his children.
Thinking up to here, Cai Yan's face could not help turning even paler.
At the same time, he hesitated.
She was considering whether she should agree to Zhao Feng's request.
Go to the mountains to hide first? Wait until his father relented and the matter was resolved before returning to Luoyang?
