Yuan Wei's Quick Travel

Chapter 285 The sister of the control group in the imperial examination

Yuan Feng stood alone in the pavilion quietly, gazing at the carp playing in the pond, and unknowingly fell into deep thought.

Not long ago, Master Cheng, who was always strict and rigid, found an excuse that seemed reasonable but was actually far-fetched, and hurriedly left this place temporarily.

Yuan Feng naturally knew that this was Master Cheng's intentional act, with the purpose of creating an opportunity for him to meet the girl alone.

Sure enough, not too long passed before two graceful girls slowly walked over from the end of the path.

As they gradually approached the pavilion, the maid who was following closely behind them stopped tactfully.

The girl in the lead continued to walk slowly towards the pavilion with graceful grace.

When Yuan Feng heard the footsteps, he subconsciously raised his head and looked over.

The moment his eyes met the girl's, both of them seemed to be struck by an invisible lightning at the same time, and they saw an unconcealable look of amazement in each other's eyes.

A gleam of light flashed in Yuan Feng's eyes, and then he performed a standard scholar's salute to the girl in front of him.

"Thank you for your courtesy, young lady. I am Yuan Feng. I was waiting for someone here today. I didn't expect to disturb you so presumptuously. I hope you can forgive me for my rude behavior."

"Pfft..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a clear and sweet laughter like a silver bell from the other side.

Seeing Yuan Feng being so polite and a little nervous, Liu Wenxi couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"You are different from what sister Wei'er said."

Liu Wenxi walked into the pavilion confidently, looking at Yuan Feng with a smile on his face.

"You...are 'Sister Liu'?"

Yuan Feng looked at the person in front of him with astonishment.

Liu Wenxi smiled slightly and said softly, "I am not worthy of being called that by your Excellency. Please just call me Miss Liu."

The sound was clear and pleasant, like the sound of a yellow oriole singing in a valley, which made people feel moved.

Yuan Feng was stunned at first, then he laughed dumbly and said, "Miss Liu."

These three simple words came out of his mouth, but they carried a special sense of intimacy.

Liu Wenxi smiled and responded, "Young Master Yuan."

The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time. The originally tense atmosphere instantly became relaxed and joyful.

However, this relief did not last long.

After a while, Liu Wenxi suddenly put away his smile, looked at Yuan Feng seriously, and asked directly:

"I just wonder what Master Yuan thinks of this marriage?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Feng's smile gradually faded, replaced by a look of deep thought. He was silent for a long time before slowly raising his head and bowing deeply to Liu Wenxi.

He said solemnly, "I am naturally overjoyed to marry a woman as gentle, virtuous, and beautiful as Miss Liu."

"However, I am truly curious as to why such an outstanding person as Miss Liu would choose to marry me. I hope Miss Liu can enlighten me and tell me a few things."

After saying this, Yuan Feng stood there quietly, staring at Liu Wenxi, waiting for her reply.

After listening to this, Liu Wenxi lowered his head slightly and said nothing, as if he was thinking about something.

Seeing this, Yuan Feng quickly added:

"Of course, if Miss Liu feels that this matter is inconvenient to tell, you don't have to tell me."

Liu Wenxi shook his head and looked at the pond outside with deep eyes.

"I want to see you, sir, just to tell you in person. Why can't I tell you?"

There are so many people who know about it, it’s impossible to hide it even if I want to.

Moreover, she never felt that she needed to hide those things.

Liu Wenxi slowly told his story without any emotion.

That calm look was as if he was talking about someone else's business.

Yuan Feng listened quietly to Liu Wenxi's narration, and after listening, he had only one feeling.

"Are you Minister Liu's biological daughter?"

"Huh?" Liu Wenxi stared at Yuan Feng blankly, not knowing why he would think of this after hearing it.

"You were pushed into the water at a party and finally managed to climb out. But just because a man claimed to have saved you, your parents gave up on you?"

"Is this really a biological child?"

Yuan Feng was very curious. "They don't trust you, but trust outsiders? They won't help you clarify the truth?"

"Do you believe me?" Liu Wenxi looked at Yuan Feng with sparkling eyes. He was the first person who believed her without any hesitation after hearing about this.

Well, my sister Wei'er should believe it too, but I just haven't told her.

"Why don't you believe it?"

Yuan Feng was even more surprised than her.

"How can you throw dirty water on yourself in this kind of situation?"

"Besides, even if you were saved by that man, it's okay. Just thank him for saving your life. What else do you want?"

"Heh...you're right. He saved my life. I should just thank him. What else do you want?"

What's more, that person didn't even touch me, but he wanted to marry me based on this "merit"!

A fierce light flashed in Liu Wenxi's eyes. Was he someone who would compromise so easily?

Even though the person behind the scenes was fanning the flames, the man kept shouting that he would take responsibility, causing the rumors to grow more and more intense.

Everyone believed their words and gave up on themselves.

Even though her parents knew that she was innocent, they were unwilling to make the decision for her.

What I always think about is the family honor and the future of my brothers.

Her mother also advised her to be patient and not to deal with the man for the time being.

Otherwise, at this critical moment, if something happened to that man, others would immediately know that it was their Liu family's fault.

It's too easy for people to find fault with you.

Liu Wenxi was so angry that he almost laughed.

Not only did they not help her, but they also didn't allow her to fight back.

What's the point?

Then I can only take action myself.

So what if others guessed it?

I guessed that it was the Liu family's responsibility to deal with the aftermath. Didn't they want to get involved?

Liu Wenxi forced them to help her clean up the mess.

"Thank you."

Liu Wenxi let go of the last bit of depression in his heart and thanked Yuan Feng with a smile.

Thank you for letting me know that I was doing the right thing and thank you for believing in me.

"What's there to thank me for?" Yuan Feng looked at Liu Wenxi, whose smile was as beautiful as a flower, and looked away uncomfortably.

Liu Wenxi looked at his ears which were red as if they were about to bleed, and the smile on her face deepened.
