Pampering Big Cat Wife

Right prime minister's residence was searched and confiscated. The Yang family clan was sent to exile in the northern wasteland. There was no hope for them to ever return to the capital in their lifetime. Although the emperor already showed mercy to them again and again, after all murdering two important officials wasn't exactly a minor matter, however, when the Yang family left, their resentment towards Zhao Shi Cheng didn't lighten a tiny bit, especially Yang Wen Chang, he appeared to be in a state of insanity even more when he threatened to make the Zhao family die a violent death and so on. If it weren't for the fact that he sympathized that he was already downtrodden to this point and the Yang family was also going to leave, Zhao Zhong Shi would have already ordered someone to kill Yang Wen Chang.

Nevertheless, the imperial court's atmosphere eased up a great deal. When the enraged emperor saw how good of an influence it actually brought after Yang Wen Chang no longer held a position in the imperial court and it seemed to be even more beneficial in carrying out public affairs, he also gradually laid down his discontentment.

Zhao Shi Cheng continued to serve as the magistrate of the capital and Tang Wan also spent her life leisurely eating her fill and then sleeping, and then sleeping until she was satisfied and then eating.

Yet, today, Zhao Shi Cheng keep on feeling uneasy for some reason while he was in the yamen working. After he finished trying the last case, he walked back to the

official residence irritatedly.

As expected, the courtyard that was always brimming with Tang Wan and her maid's laughter was now abnormally silent and still. This caused him to be flighty and impatient. Although with Tang Wan's astonishing strength and the capital's defense currently, there shouldn't be any problems that could happen, but he still couldn't relax.

When he walked into the hall, there was still no one there. He quickly walked inside the room again. He didn't see Tang Wan, but he did see Xiao Chun sitting in front of the table, nodding off.

A bad feeling flashed through Zhao Shi Cheng's mind and he asked hastily, "Xiao Chun, where's young Madam?"

Xiao Chun woke up with a start. Yet, faced with her master's question, she stammered and was unable to say a complete sentence for quite a while.

"Young Madam, she, she..." When she saw his eyes slowly turn swift and fierce, she swallowed her saliva and then hesitantly said, "Young Madam, she...received a letter and then went out. She even said that I wasn't allowed to follow her."

"Who wrote the letter?" He wouldn't accept this kind of answer that focused on the minor details.

"Look, looking at that letter paper, it seemed to be, be the Lu family..." Xiao Chun lowered her head. In her heart, she secretly repented to Young Madam. Young Madam, it wasn't that Xiao Chun wanted to harm you, but it's important for me to keep my life.

Then it's Lu You! When he thought of this name, Zhao Shi Cheng knitted his eyebrows tightly. He knew Tang Wan well and also believed that she definitely wouldn't keep an appointment secretly for love. This was something fishy in it that caused her to have no choice but to go. It's no good, he had to go and see!

He asked again while keeping a straight face. "Did Young Madam tell you where she will go to keep the appointment?"

Xiao Chun shook her head, "Young Madam didn't say, but Xiao Chun sneaked a peek...it seems like they're meeting at Yue Lai inn."

Zhao Shi Cheng raised the tip of his eyebrow. Yue Lai inn was Yingfeng Pavilion's business rival. She wanted to go and eat their specialty dishes many times, but he stopped her every time. Lu You, that fellow, coincidentally arranged a meeting at that place. No wonder she secretly wanted to go to the meeting and didn't dare to let him know. This completely makes sense now. It's just because she was gluttonous!
