At this time, Hu Feng saw the token in his hand, which has the word ‘Jinyang’ engraved on it. The design also only belonged to the county magistrate.
Hu Feng asked while walking towards A’ Si: “This prince asked you something, why aren’t you answering?”
A’ Si looked at the young man walking towards him step by step. He was tall and majestic. The panic and fear in his heart suddenly disappeared, and a wave of evil thoughts rushed to his mind. He was Prince Jin. If he dies, his master’s grand plan can be accomplished without any more twists and turns. At most, he will be buried with this person. His family can live. Especially his son who was only 10 years old!
Just when Hu Feng was only an arm away from A’ Si, Ah Si suddenly raised his arm and a dagger appeared in his hand, then he pierced Hu Feng’s chest.

On the 10th day of the Lunar Month
Pei Qinghan appeared outside the gate of Dongfang Family Mansion as soon as the sun appeared. He was wearing a blue brocade and a thin cotton robe. His hair was tied with a jade crown. Although he looked haggard, it still cannot hide his natural-looking handsome face.
He was reminiscing. At that time, when Pei Daren asked Dongfang Mu to marry their children, Dongfang Mu didn’t rush to agree. Instead, he discussed this matter with his daughter first when he went back. Dongfang Wan proposed to take a look at the person in secrecy and then decide. If he was a rough man, she will not marry.
So Dongfang Mu secretly inquired about several places Pei Qinghan often visited. Among them was a tea house where he met his poetry friends.
Dongfang Wan wore a man’s clothing and pretended to be a man, then went to the tea house with her maidservant. Coincidentally, she met Pei Qinghan at her first visit. Even though there were many n.o.ble sons in the tea house, Pei Qinghan’s appearance was still the most outstanding among them. And also has the most elegant posture.
After watching for a while, she and the maidservant intend to leave. But when they were about to leave, the maidservant realized that she had forgotten to bring the purse when she went out. The maidservant’s complexion immediately changed.
Although Dongfang Wan was dressed in a man’s clothing, she was only 16 years old at the time. She looked like a slender young lady. Anyone with discerning eyes could see that she was a young lady.
Because of her outstanding appearance, there were several n.o.ble sons who were willing to pay for their tea.
Pei Qinghan was among them. Who knows why, but she was more willing to accept Pei Qinghan’s help.
Pei Qinghan was flattered. After watching her disappearing back stupidly, he heard someone around him said that she was the eldest lady of the Dongfang Family, Dongfang Wan.
Since then, Pei Qinghan had fallen sick in love with her. But at the same time, there have been rumors in the capital that Dongfang Wan was going to enter the palace to be an imperial concubine, and most likely to be an empress in the future.
The idea of asking her hand in marriage disappeared. He could only stay inside the house thinking about her.
But who knows, not long after, his father told him that he had arranged a marriage for him. He will die soon, so he hopes to see him get married before he dies.
He didn’t think too much at that time. He simply thought that since he can’t marry the woman he loves, it doesn’t matter who he marries. He will just fulfill his father’s last wish.
However, when the matchmaker sent the other party’s birth date and eight characters, he discovered that the marriage that his father had set for him was actually the one he had been missing day and night.
It was the person he was dreaming of.
Pei Qinghan was so ecstatic that he couldn’t wait to rush into the Dongfang Mansion immediately and show his infatuation with her.
The marriage was originally scheduled after three months, but his father’s illness suddenly worsened. Dongfang Mu proposed to marry early, first, it was to make his friend happy. Secondly, he doesn’t want to delay the marriage because of Pei Daren’s death.
