Chapter 606 - Admiring a Beauty
"You dare to have improper thoughts towards my daughter? You shameless little brat..." Fang Zizhen immediately stood up and looked around before he picked up a paperweight. He was planning on throwing it at Zhu Junyang.
Zhu Junyang hurriedly exclaimed, "Uncle Fang, please wait! This paperweight was given to you by Xiaocao, who especially picked it out for you. Regardless of how valuable it is, do you really think you can bear to break something that she's given to you ah?"
When he saw Fang Zizhen hesitate in his throwing motion, the prince continued on, "Uncle Fang, you've misunderstood me! Just think about it, I've watched that lass Cao'er grow up under my eyes, so how could I possibly treat her poorly ah? That being said, other than that maid Wutong, Chief Steward Su was also there keeping an eye on us. You don't know this yet, but Chief Steward Su treats Cao'er as if she was his own daughter in every possible way and he's extremely docile and gentle with her. From my perspective, it looks like he's trying to steal your daughter away from you!"
This guy was truly too much. In order to obtain his future in-law's trust, he was willing to crown himself as a 'beast'. As long as he was able to hug his little lass home, he was more than happy to have 'beast' as his name.! (Author: Royal Prince Yang, where's your integrity? Royal Prince Yang sends out a glare: What is integrity? Can that be eaten ah?)
Fang Zizhen's attention had been successfully transferred over to Chief Steward Su now. What? Chief Steward Su wanted to steal his daughter away? How could that be okay? Fang Zizhen really couldn't do much against his daughter's biological father. However, why did an eunuch also need to come into the mix? Did the guy want to steal someone else's daughter because he was unable to father his own?
Furthermore, that fellow wore all white every day of the year and had severe mysophobia. In addition, the other man's tactics at handling people was enough to scare children and his moods changed all the time. In all aspects, this guy was definitely not a good father, so he needed to make sure the eunuch didn't end up influencing his daughter in the wrong way! Not okay! In the future, he needed to prevent that fellow from getting too close to his daughter. However, Chief Steward Su was the head of the hidden guards and had a wide reach. Was he really going to be able to stop the other man?
"Uncle Fang, I truly have something that I need to see Xiaocao about. Can you be a bit flexible and let me see her? If you don't feel comfortable, then you can be present in the same room as us. That way you can see if I am improper in any way!" Zhu Junyang was willing to concede some things in order to win the overall battle as he truly wished to see the little lass. Argh! Why was it so hard for him to even see his future wife in person?
Fang Zizhen stared at Zhu Junyang for a long time before he finally curled his lip and waved a hand. He stated in a voice that showed he was conveying a great favor, "Forget it, I may not trust you but how could I not trust my own daughter? Go ah? I'm only giving you two hours and it's not negotiable. Don't even think of trying to cadge a meal from us!!"
Zhu Junyang's lips involuntarily twitched. He had originally wanted to spend time with the little lass at the noon meal. It looked like...he needed to work on Lady Fang on this point now!
"Master, are we going to Miss Yu's courtyard now? I'm not sure if that lass, Wutong, is here or at the Yu Residence right now." The second sentence that Hou Xiaoliang uttered was mostly for himself.
"Oh what? You're interested in that maidservant?" Zhu Junyang glanced at his own assistant. Ever since Dong Dali had been transferred over to the Xishan Barracks to take over leadership there, Hou Xiaoliang had been at his side. Perhaps the youth was of a tender age, but the fellow was not as steady as Dong Dali and had a livelier personality. However, he still managed to finish his tasks and assignments in a satisfactory manner.
