After the system ran, I took off with my family

"Madam, I am Han Muzhi, a student of Bailu College in Fucheng."

Han Muzhi bowed and replied. His gentle and slightly low voice made the girls who were watching blush a little. Zhou Xue'e, who was wrapped in a cloak and hiding in Yu Tan's arms with a face full of shame and anger, couldn't help but turn her head to look.

"A student from White Egret Academy?"

Gao Yuting looked at him in surprise. It seemed that although this man was dressed simply, he must have some knowledge. You know, it would be difficult to be admitted to Bailu College without solid knowledge.

Just as she was about to ask more questions, Tang Yunci, Tang Wanchu and Lin Shuyue hurried over with an old doctor.

Tang Yunci and his sister, Lin Shuyue and the other two stood beside Liu Yufu, watching the old doctor take Zhou Xue'e's pulse with a calm face.

After a cup of tea, the old doctor took out a pen and paper, wrote a prescription and handed it to Yu Tan, saying, "This girl is fine, but her pulse is a little disordered, probably because she was frightened. This is the prescription for tranquilizer. Follow the prescription and take two doses of the medicine for a few days and she should be fine."

"Since there is no problem, Yutan, why don't you help Xue'e back home?"

Gao Yuting gave the order without question, then looked at Han Muzhi, who had a calm expression, with a hint of hesitation in her eyes.

After thinking for a moment, she said calmly: "Thank you Mr. Han for saving me today. When I go back to report to the master, the Jiang family will definitely give you a generous gift to thank Mr. Han for saving my life.

However, Xue'e has been frightened and needs to return home to recuperate immediately. I hope Master Han will forgive me."

Everyone present understood the meaning of Gao Yuting's words, including Han Muzhi.

Just now everyone saw the two of them hugging each other wetly, and they had already had physical contact. In this world that is very harsh on women, Zhou Xue'e has only one way to go, and that is to let Han Muzhi marry her.

But what Gao Yuting said clearly showed that she wanted to use a large sum of money to repay the life-saving grace and shut Han Muzhi up.

However, Han Muzhi was not displeased. He still looked gentle and said, "Madam, you are too kind. No matter if the person who fell into the water today is Miss Zhou or not, as long as I saw her, I would help her. It's just a small favor. I can't accept this generous gift."

His neither humble nor arrogant, calm and composed demeanor made many people present look up to him.

Gao Yuting had no intention of finding out whether what he said was true or not. Seeing that more and more people were watching, she just wanted to take Zhou Xue'e back quickly. After such a thing happened, she didn't know whether the master would blame her.

"Sister Fu, I'm going to take Xue'e back first. I'm really sorry for leaving in the middle of a meal."

She led Zhou Xue'e forward and said goodbye to Liu Yufu with full of apology.

Gao Yuting was filled with regret. Jiang Yi caught a cold yesterday and did not come to the banquet. And Jiang Li had been hiding in the yard and refusing to see anyone since she slapped her that day. The mother and daughter had been in a stalemate.

Therefore, she only brought Zhou Xue'e to attend the banquet today. Unexpectedly, this incident happened, causing shame for the Jiang family.

Zhou Xue'e leaned in Yu Tan's arms, raised her eyes slightly to look at Tang Yunci who was standing beside Liu Yufu in a cloud-gray robe, the resentment in her eyes almost overflowing.

Yu Tan said that Tang Yunci was wearing a sky blue robe today, so before falling into the water, she caught a glimpse of the edge of the man's sky blue robe behind her and thought that the person behind her was Tang Yunci. She never expected that it was someone else.

Could it be that Yu Tan betrayed her and lied to her?

No! It's impossible. Yu Tan's family is a family of Zhou's servants. Their lives are in the hands of the Zhou family. She can't betray herself. So, what is going on?

Unfortunately, until she left the Tang Mansion, she still hadn't figured out what went wrong and caused her to end up losing more than she gained.

Tang Wanchu looked at Zhou Xue'e's embarrassed figure leaving, and felt very happy. She actually dared to plot against my second brother, she deserved it.

"Alright, alright, everyone please go back and take your seats. The feast will start soon."

Liu Yufu asked the guests to leave.

"Brother Han, I'll let Yanshu take you to wash up and change your clothes."

Tang Yunci patted Han Muzhi on the shoulder.

Han Muzhi nodded slightly, "Thank you, Brother Tang, for bothering me."

After Yanshu led him away, Tang Wanchu turned to look at Tang Yunci, feeling a little uneasy, "Second brother, this Mr. Han doesn't look like the kind of person you said. Did we harm him?"

"You silly girl." Tang Yunci tapped her head with his fan. "You can't judge a person by appearance alone. Besides, if Han Muzhi was really a gentleman, he wouldn't be here by the lake."

It turned out that at that time, Tang Yunci was stopped by Lin Shuyue as soon as he left the East Courtyard. She pulled Tang Yunci to the corner and told him Zhou Xue'e's plan one by one.

When Tang Yunci knew that this was a trap, he had no intention of going there, but Lin Shuyue reminded him that if Zhou Xue'e failed this time, she would definitely keep an eye on him.

Instead of being on guard against her every day, it is better to take the initiative.

So, the two of them discussed it and decided that since Zhou Xue'e was so eager to get married, they should leave the opportunity to marry her to someone who was interested.

As for the candidate, Tang Yunci thought of Han Muzhi, who had a very good reputation in the academy.

Afterwards, Tang Yunci asked Yanshu to find two maids to hide behind the rockery beside the fish pond in the east courtyard and pretend to chat.

According to the young master's instructions, the two maids deliberately talked about Zhou Xue'e being alone by the lake, and praised Zhou Xue'e to the skies, saying that she was not only good-looking but also had a simple and kind personality and was the daughter of a high-ranking official in the capital.

Sure enough, Han Muzhi, who was watching the fish in the pond, heard it, thought for a moment, and quietly left the yard.

Coincidentally, the clothes Han Muzhi wore today were also sky blue, and then something happened by the lake.

As for why Liu Yufu and others arrived so timely, it was all thanks to Tang Wanchu who secretly returned to the guest house and asked Mother Yang to tell her about the matter.

Thinking back, Tang Wanchu hugged Lin Shuyue's arm and said gratefully, "Ayue, thank you so much. If you hadn't stopped my second brother in time, my second brother would have been successfully plotted today."

"Wanchu is right, Ayue, today is all thanks to you." Tang Yunci echoed from the side.

Lin Shuyue pinched Tang Wanchu's soft face and said with a smile: "Alright, why are you two being so polite? Let's go, the banquet is about to start. Aunt Tang will send someone to look for us later."

It was almost noon when the guests left one after another.

At this time, Tang Zhiwei's family and Lin An's family were talking in the flower hall in the backyard.

"Ayue, your uncle wants to thank you for what happened today, otherwise Yunci would have been ruined by that girl from the Zhou family."

Tang Zhiwei bowed to Lin Shuyue solemnly to express his gratitude. As he had to entertain other colleagues, he did not go to the lake, but the children had already told him the whole story.

Lin Shuyue waved her hands quickly, "Uncle, what are you doing? Given our relationship, there's no need to be so polite."

"Yes, Brother Tang, why are you so polite? You are being too polite." Lin An and Li also echoed.

Liu Yufu held Lin Shuyue's hand and looked at her with a smile. She liked her more and more no matter how she looked at her.
