The Young Master appeared not to be eating seriously. As Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan were preparing to leave, he put down his chopsticks and smiled at them.

Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan walked towards their wagon, but to their surprise, the Young Master caught up with them.

“Please hold on, I am Zhao Shu from Yangzhou, Jiangnan, and I would like to befriend Fifth Master. Can we be friends?” he asked, revealing that he had heard about them from Songshi.

Shao Yunduan’s expression turned serious as he calmly questioned, “You know who we are, don’t you? Are you here on purpose?”

Zhao Shu was unabashed and responded with an open smile. “Yes, Officer Shao, Madame Shao, it’s delightful to have a chance encounter in the snow and witness such a beautiful couple.”

Shao Yunduan continued, “What is it, Young Master Zhao?”

Zhao Shu maintained his smile. “This is not the right place for a conversation. How about we head into town and chat at a tea house? Please don’t misunderstand me; I have no ulterior motives. I simply admire the couple and wish to befriend you. As for anything beyond that, I genuinely cannot say!”

He understood that if he couldn’t befriend them, he had no right to ask for anything else.

Qiao Xuan displayed a half-smile. “Fifth Master’s reputation precedes him in the capital, so I’m not surprised that you admire him. But what makes you admire me? I’m quite curious.”

Zhao Shu appeared taken aback for a moment, then smiled, saying, “Please don’t hold it against me for what I said. I have inquired about you both, and I know that Fifth Madame Shao is no ordinary lady. She possesses remarkable capabilities, and your properties in Yuzhang province are widely renowned!”

Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan exchanged a meaningful look. “…..”

They had suspected that Zhao Shu and his servant came to the farmer’s home with them in mind. However, they were taken aback by the extent of Zhao Shu’s investigation. He seemed to know more about them than even the Tian Family, who usually paid little attention to the Yuezheng Family and their affairs.

The Tian Family had always underestimated them, believing Shao Yunduan came from a small village and had no significant connections. That level of knowledge was sufficient for them.

They couldn’t fathom how Zhao Shu could have gathered such detailed information. It seemed too meticulous and thorough for anyone to believe.

Even a three-year-old child would not believe that the man in front of him was so thorough in his investigation.

“You are so considerate!”

Shao Yunduan’s demeanor turned cold,

Zhao Shu appeared remorseful and tried to explain, “Fifth Master Shao, I truly meant no harm. Fifth Madame inquired about these matters, and I merely answered her truthfully. I don’t have any sinister intentions!”

Qiao Xuan’s smile remained, and she said, “I believe that to be true. Even if you had ill intentions, my Old Master wouldn’t be intimidated by you.”

Shao Yunduan glanced at Qiao Xuan with a helpless expression, as if knowing she was intentionally trying to tease Zhao Shu.

Zhao Shu chuckled awkwardly in response, “Of course, I never meant any harm…”

“Fifth Master Shao, Fifth Madame, why don’t we head into town first,” suggested Zhao Shu, trying to steer the conversation away from any discomfort.

Shao Yunduan agreed with Qiao Xuan’s earlier sentiment, deciding that Zhao Shu didn’t seem like a harmful person and thus lost interest in him. He saw no reason to waste any more time or energy on him.

“Alright, let’s go into town,” Qiao Xuan happily agreed.

Zhao Shu was delighted by their response. “Please, follow me!”

Shao Yunduan assisted Qiao Xuan onto their wagon, and Songshi began to drive. Meanwhile, Zhao Shu climbed onto his own wagon and motioned for them to keep up as they made their way into town.
