Chapter 401
"What does a re servant like you know?" Hearing his words, Zhang Zifu glared at the young servant angrily. She was extrely dissatisfied, seemingly thinking that acting this way would sohow lessen her humiliation.
The servant said nothing, only giving Zhang Zifu a look that told her to figure it out herself.
He had seen these Zhang siblings quite a few tis already. Previously, this Miss Zhang had even tried to find excuses to enter the Li residence.
However, he had blocked all those attempts. The servant was highly on guard against these two.
The servant assud that Zhang Yanchu was harassing the young lady of the Wen family simply because he could not get into the Li residence.
Little did the servant know, Zhang Yanchu had long considered Wen Xiu as sothing already in his pocket.
Given his own circumstances, he really could not find another noble lady with better qualifications than Wen Xiu.
Back when he had just ranked third in the imperial examination, quite a few officials wanted him to marry their daughters. However, he despised those officials for their low family backgrounds and looked down on them.
He was just waiting for high-ranking nobles to approach him.
But he waited and waited, and nothing ca of it. Only then did he beco anxious.
At that ti, while out and about, he happened to run into Wen Xiu.
After making careful inquiries, he found out that Wen Xiu had an older brother who was General Pingxi.
It was also at that mont that Zhang Yanchu set his sights on Wen Xiu.
He even instigated Zhang Zifu to go to the Wen residence to cozy up to Wen Xiu, striving for opportunities to get close to her.
Unfortunately, Zhang Zifu was shallow and greedy. Whenever she saw Wen Xiu's fine belongings, she could not tear her eyes away. After a few tis, Wen Xiu was no longer willing to be taken advantage of.
Thus, Zhang Yanchu's path of using his sister to get close to Wen Xiu was cut off.
Left with no other choice, Zhang Yanchu decided to take matters into his own hands. He figured that if he orchestrated a few more chance encounters with Wen Xiu, he might just achieve his goal.
Unfortunately, Wen Xiu rarely left her ho, and every ti she did, she was extrely guarded against him.
Recently, because Wen Xiu had befriended Li Zhiwei, she went out much more frequently. This was why Zhang Yanchu thought of coming to intercept her.
Unexpectedly, he was driven away by the servant halfway through, leaving him too embarrassed to continue blocking the door.
After finally waiting for his sister to return, only to see her mocked by the servant, Zhang Yanchu hid behind the door, shooting a vicious and ruthless glare in the servant's direction.
This dog of a servant was truly too much of an eyesore.
"Don't you leave!"
Seeing that the servant was about to return to the estate and ignore her, Zhang Zifu grew unhappy.
She thought about the last ti she went to the Li residence. She had never forgotten how magnificent and splendid it looked. Could she use the excuse of this servant's disrespect to go inside and have a good look around again this ti?
"Does Miss Zhang need sothing else?" the servant asked, looking at her with dissatisfaction.
"You insolent dog of a servant! I must find your master and have a good talk about this!" After saying this, Zhang Zifu tried to force her way into the Li residence.
"Miss Zhang, what are you doing? Without the master's permission, are you trying to force your way in?" Seeing Zhang Zifu's actions, the servant hurriedly blocked her path.
"You dog of a servant, you have offended . I will definitely have your master punish you properly!" Zhang Zifu said smugly.
"What is all this noise about?"
When Xu Heming arrived, he saw the scene of Zhang Zifu trying to enter the Li residence while the servant blocked her.
He was instantly very displeased.
"Your Highness!" Seeing that it was his family's future son-in-law, the servant quickly went up and bowed.
Zhang Zifu was originally annoyed, but when she turned around and saw the handso and elegant Xu Heming, she completely forgot to react. She thought to herself, This man is far too good-looking, isn't he?
"Th-this gentleman, who are you looking for?" Zhang Zifu hurriedly put on a shy and coy expression as she looked at Xu Heming and asked.
"Who are you?" Xu Heming frowned, not understanding who this person was or why she was causing a ruckus outside the Li residence.
"Greetings to His Highness Prince An. This is my younger sister!" Seeing Xu Heming arrive, Zhang Yanchu hurriedly ran over from outside the door and said.
Xu Heming looked at Zhang Yanchu. He did not recognize him, but seeing that he had co from next door, he guessed that this person probably lived there.
"This is the Li residence!" After saying this, Xu Heming stepped forward and walked into the Li estate.
The servant quickly followed behind him.
Seeing such a good-looking man, Zhang Zifu's heart pounded wildly, and she wanted to follow him inside. But just as she reached the Li residence, the servant slamd the door shut heavily. Zhang Zifu's nose was almost caught in the door!
"You dog!" Zhang Zifu yelled in anger.
"Enough, let's go back." Zhang Yanchu took a glance at the Li residence, then grabbed Zhang Zifu and quickly pulled her back next door.
"Brother, why are you pulling ? I want to go next door!" Zhang Zifu said in dissatisfaction.
Whenever she thought of that handso and elegant man just now, her heart surged with excitent. Only such a good-looking man was worthy of her.
"Enough! Do you even know who that man was just now?" Zhang Yanchu scolded as he asked.
He had seen Prince An from afar once before. Prince An was ruthless in his actions; he was not soone a small, insignificant family like theirs could afford to provoke.
"Brother, who was that man?" Zhang Zifu had not paid attention to what Zhang Yanchu had said when he bowed to Xu Heming earlier, so she quickly asked.
"That was Prince An! You better not provoke him, or you won't even know how you died," Zhang Yanchu warned Zhang Zifu.
"Prince An? Not only is he good-looking, but he also has great status. Brother, I want to marry him!" Upon hearing this, Zhang Zifu excitedly grabbed her brother's hand and declared.
"Are you crazy? Do you know what you're saying? That is Prince An!" Zhang Yanchu said angrily. He was very well aware of his own family's circumstances, and he did not believe that their family's status was enough for Prince An to marry his sister.
To put it bluntly, his sister was not even qualified to be Prince An's concubine.
"Then what was he doing next door?" Zhang Zifu did not care what her brother said. In her mind, she was already calculating what she needed to do to marry Prince An.
"The eldest Miss Li next door is the Princess Consort of An, personally bestowed by the Emperor." Thinking of this, Zhang Yanchu also felt a bit sour. After all, if it were not for this reason, he felt that Li Zhiwei would have been a better match for him.
After all, Li Tianyou was the Vice Minister of Revenue, and previously, he was the wealthiest man in the Lannuo Kingdom. He only had one daughter, Li Zhiwei. In the future, all of the Li family's wealth would belong to Li Zhiwei and her children.
If he married Li Zhiwei, all that wealth would beco his.
However, Li Zhiwei was the future Princess Consort of An, so he did not dare to act rashly.
"What? Isn't the Li family just of rchant origins? On what grounds can a daughter of the Li family beco the Princess Consort of An?" Hearing this, Zhang Zifu beca very displeased.
"Whether she can or not, that is the Emperor's will." Zhang Yanchu was also extrely jealous of Xu Heming in his heart, but he had no way to compare himself to the man.
He could only think about it in his mind.
"No, brother, I want to marry Prince An!" Zhang Zifu looked at Zhang Yanchu and said firmly.
"Wake up!" Zhang Yanchu thought to himself, He still wanted to marry Li Zhiwei!
"Therefore, brother, you have to help !" Zhang Zifu felt that since her brother was the third-ranked scholar in the imperial examination, she should be able to take her pick of any man in the capital.
