Chapter 444: The Scholar's Daughter Who Was Drained of Everything and Died Tragically (1)
"Hey, I haven't seen you for so many years. Brother Yaozong has grown up so much?"
When Hou Yaozong came in, Liu Yufei's expression immediately changed.
Hou Yaozong bowed respectfully to Liu Yufei, "Madam!"
There was no trace of Hou Yaozong's angry expression when he ran out of Liu Yufei's house.
"Hey, we're all from the same hometown, there's no need to be so polite, please take a seat!"
Liu Yufei warmly entertained Hou Yaozong, "Come on, serve tea!"
Soon, a maid came up with tea.
"I wonder what business it is that Brother Yaozong is visiting me for this time?" Liu Yufei asked with a smile.
Seeing Liu Yufei's gentle attitude towards him, Hou Yaozong felt a little relieved. It seemed that the Li family still cared about their fellow countrymen.
Hou Yaozong immediately told Li Fan about his trip to Beijing to take part in the Spring Examination and his plan to visit him.
Liu Yufei listened with a smile throughout the whole process, but in the end she said apologetically, "Oh, Brother Yaozong, I'm so sorry. My master is doing an inventory at the Ministry of Revenue recently, and he has been going home almost late at night these days. So, he may not have time to receive you, Brother Yaozong."
When Hou Yaozong heard that Li Fan didn't have time to see him, his face suddenly turned ugly.
When Liu Yufei saw Hou Yaozong's expression change, she snorted in her heart, this man is still the same as before!
However, Hou Yaozong still remembered that this was not a place where he could act rashly, so he quickly suppressed his displeasure and said with a cupped hand, "That's really a pity."
Liu Yufei still smiled and said, "That's not the case!"
Then the two chatted for a while about their hometown, and Liu Yufei served tea and prepared to see them off.
But Hou Yaozong was still thinking about Li Linlang, whom he had just seen. He even had the nerve to ask Li Linlang, "I saw your young lady when I entered the mansion just now."
Fortunately, Hou Yaozong remembered not to call Linlang "sister" in front of her mother.
When Liu Yufei heard Hou Yaozong mention Linlang, a hint of murderous intent flashed in her eyes, but she didn't show it. She just smiled and said, "Ah, this girl is going to get married soon, but she always wants to go out and play. It's all because of our master's spoiling. You know we only have this one daughter, and our master treats her like the apple of his eye. He lets her do whatever she wants and even said that everything he has worked hard for in the future will be left to his daughter. He is really spoiled to the point of being unbearable to look at."
Hou Yaozong looked at the smile on Liu Yufei's face and knew that she was not really complaining about Li Linlang, but rather seemed to be showing off.
When Hou Yaozong heard Liu Yufei say that everything Li Fan had would be left to Li Linlang, he thought of Li Fan's extensive network of contacts and couldn't help but feel intense jealousy towards Li Linlang's husband in this life.
He now urgently wants to know who will be the bride of Li Linlang in this life.
So, he asked directly, "I wonder which family your young lady has made an engagement with?"
Liu Yufei glanced at Hou Yaozong in surprise, as if she didn't expect him to ask this question. That look made Hou Yaozong feel very uncomfortable.
However, Liu Yufei did not intend to hide it and said directly, "Oh, it's the eldest son of the Minister of Personnel. Come to think of it, he also participated in this year's Spring Examination!"
When Hou Yaozong first heard that Li Linlang's fiancé was the eldest son of the Minister of Personnel, a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes. But when he heard that the eldest son would also take part in this year's spring examination, a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. After all, in his heart, this year's top scholar must be him!
Liu Yufei had been observing Hou Yaozong's expression carefully. When she saw a hint of satisfaction on his face, Liu Yufei chuckled secretly and said, "Let's see what happens next."
Hou Yaozong insincerely praised Li Linlang's fiancé and then said goodbye.
After leaving Li's house, Hou Yaozong looked back at the tall gate and the large courtyard, clenched his fists, and whispered, "Just wait, sooner or later, I will be above all of you!"
This scene was naturally seen by Liu Yufei who was watching the surveillance camera. She sneered and said nothing.
After leaving Li's house and returning to the inn where they were staying, Hou Yaozong remembered that Li Linlang was already engaged, and he felt melancholy again.
Originally, he was thinking of marrying Li Linlang after high school, just like in his previous life. After all, Li Fan's current achievements were not comparable to those of the Minister of Justice in his previous life.
But since Li Linlang is already engaged, he has to win over his wife in his previous life, the eldest daughter of the Minister of Justice.
In his previous life, he and the eldest daughter lived in harmony with each other, but unfortunately he was unlucky and died because of her. However, that will not happen in this life. He has the memories of his previous life, and his spiritual achievements will definitely be more brilliant than in his previous life!
