Chapter 103: The Gao Family's Son-in-Law

Through conversation, Lv Fang learned that the maid's name was Xue'er, and she was the maid of the Gao family's eldest young miss. This time, they pulled him into the Gao family because they wanted him to be a son-in-law.

Originally, Lv Fang wanted to run away directly, but after thinking about it, was there some hidden reason for this?

Otherwise, which girl would be willing to pull a random person and make them a son-in-law.

"No need to rush for a moment."

Lv Fang could leave whenever he wanted. He wanted to hear what the Gao family's young miss's hidden reason was before leaving, and it wouldn't be too late.

After a wash and scrub.

Xue'er combed Lv Fang's long hair and said: "Young master looks like a weak scholar; I didn't expect your physique to be so strong. My young miss will definitely be very satisfied with you."

Lv Fang probed a few times, but Xue'er didn't know anything, only saying that he would know when he asked the young miss.

He simply stopped asking.

After tidying up, Xue'er left. Lv Fang sat in the room alone, waiting from noon to afternoon, and then from afternoon to night, before a maid came to call him to see the Gao family's young miss.

Gao mansion back courtyard.

In a huge boudoir, the sandalwood in the incense burner slowly rose, and the whole room was fragrant.

"Miss, the person has been brought."

The maid bowed.

Just by the window, a woman in her twenties was burying her head in looking at account books. Her black hair was tied with a green silk ribbon. When she looked up, her exquisite face was stunning.

Lv Fang couldn't understand how a woman like this would abruptly find a down-and-out scholar and want him to be a son-in-law.

As long as she opened her mouth, many people would surely be willing to marry her.

Gao Youyao looked at Lv Fang and nodded slightly: "Let's make a long story short. You become a son-in-law of the Gao family, and I can make sure you don't have to worry about silver for the rest of your life. However, we cannot have a real marriage."

"You also cannot find wild women outside."

"But don't worry, if you follow the rules, in three years, I will give Xue'er to you as a concubine to carry on the family line for your Fang family."

Lv Fang frowned: "Why do you have to do this?"

"You don't need to know these things." Gao Youyao continued to open the account book.

Lv Fang smiled gently: "That won't do. I must know why; otherwise, how would I know if becoming your Gao family's son-in-law will be dangerous."

Seeing Gao Youyao frown, Xue'er hurriedly said: "Young Master Fang, it's like this. The master only has the young miss. Recently, the master has fallen ill with a serious illness and wants the young miss to get married immediately."

"Just this?"

Lv Fang asked in confusion.

Finding a controllable down-and-out scholar as a son-in-law could indeed be understood.

Xue'er sighed: "Being so urgent is also to block the son of Magistrate Zheng who wants to marry our young miss. That playboy who is idle and has nothing to do just wants to seize the Gao family's business."

"It's because he let out the word that people in the local area, upon hearing about becoming a son-in-law of the Gao family, are all unwilling. We can only wrong you, Young Master Fang."

"There's such a thing?" Lv Fang raised his eyebrows: "What is that Magistrate Zheng's background?"

Xue'er said: "He is the magistrate of this county. The Zheng family has been high-ranking officials here for three generations, and their influence here is very strong. However, don't worry, as long as you don't run around, there won't be any danger."

Lv Fang asked in confusion: "It's so close to Jingcheng here; can a small county official be so tyrannical?"

"You have a big mouth, a small county official?" Gao Youyao said in a deep voice: "In Beicheng, Magistrate Zheng is the parent official. You want to go to Jingcheng to sue? People have connections there too. You tell me what I should do? Or what can I do?"

Lv Fang pondered for a moment and gave a bitter smile: "In that case, being the Gao family's son-in-law is even more dangerous than I imagined."

Xue'er hurriedly said: "The young miss's master is a Sixth Rank martial artist and will be coming to Beicheng soon. By then, I think Magistrate Zheng won't go too far."

Gao Youyao shook her head: "Xue'er, you've said too much today. Since he is afraid of danger and unwilling, then forget it. I see he is just a scholar with high expectations but low ability; otherwise, how could he have ended up like this."

Xue'er's face turned red, and she didn't say anything more.

Lv Fang nodded: "I didn't say I was unwilling. People are almost starving to death. Although it is very dangerous, I am willing to be a son-in-law."

He wanted to see how tyrannical the so-called county official under the Emperor's feet was.

Anyway, this Gao family son-in-law was just a formality.

"Hmm, you are willing, but I still have to consider it. Someone, take Young Master Fang down first and treat him well. But Young Master Fang, please rest assured, even if we don't choose you in the end, I will give you some silver as compensation."

Gao Youyao waved her hand after speaking.

After the maid took Lv Fang away, Gao Youyao looked at Xue'er without saying a word.

Xue'er pouted: "Miss, why are you looking at me like that?"

Gao Youyao rolled her eyes: "You little hoof, did you take a fancy to this Fang Lu? What attracts you to him? He's down-and-out, yet so arrogant, and his appearance can only be considered decent."

Xue'er twisted and shook her body:

"Miss, Young Master Fang is not as bad as you think. He is a gentleman, and there is a quality about him that makes people feel very comfortable when they are around him. I can feel that he is definitely not a bad person."

"So it's him?"

Gao Youyao asked.

She and the maid Xue'er grew up together, and their relationship was like family. This time, saying she was looking for a son-in-law for herself was actually almost like finding a husband for Xue'er.

She naturally had to look at Xue'er's opinion.

And Gao Youyao didn't dislike Lv Fang, but felt that this person had no self-awareness; he was down-and-out, yet still had the arrogance of a scholar.

But this was also good; at least there was no problem with his character.

The next day.

Lv Fang was reading the records related to Beicheng in his room when Xue'er knocked and walked in: "Young Master Fang, the young miss's master has arrived. The young miss wants you to come over and see the master together."

"Okay." Lv Fang responded and stood up to follow her to the back courtyard of the mansion. On the way, he asked: "What illness does Master Gao have? Is it very serious?"

Xue'er sighed lightly: "My master..."

Listening to Xue'er's brief introduction, Lv Fang learned that Master Gao was also a scholar, the kind with Haoran Zhengqi, but only a Ninth Rank scholar.

Before, Master Gao was in good health, but for some reason, three months ago, he contracted a strange illness, and his body became weaker day by day.

Until now, he was often in a coma and rarely had moments of clarity.

As for Gao Youyao's master, he was a friend Master Gao had made before, named Wu Feng. She had been apprenticed to him since she was a child.

During the conversation.

The two had already arrived at a courtyard, and Gao Youyao not far away was talking to a man in his forties.

Lv Fang sensed that the other party was a Sixth Rank martial artist and thought to himself, this middle-aged man must be that Wu Feng.

Gao Youyao made a gesture of invitation and said: "Master, you have traveled the world and are knowledgeable. Just help me see my father and see if he has been poisoned; this strange illness came too suddenly." ===== CHAPTER 104 =====
