Master is Angry, Second Watch (2)_1 No matter what, since she had spoken her words, he couldn’t insist anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pausing for a moment, he sighed helplessly, “In that case, I won’t push for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Wei’er, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, remember to seek me out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Wei laughed, “Of course, I already have a favor to ask of Young Master Huo!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is it?” Huo Yuan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Wei said, “I want to ask Young Master Huo to help me find an elderly man from Canhangli to oversee my business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as this person is modest and upright, it’s alright to offer him a higher salary.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Yuan pondered for a moment, and said, “There may not be an elderly person available, but there is a capable one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Wei’s interest was piqued at his words and she hurriedly asked, “Who is it, Young Master Huo?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please tell me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Yuan shook his head with a smile, “Listen to you, calling me ‘Young Master Huo’ all the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve been calling you Wei’er already, but you insist on keeping a distance from me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s really heartbreaking.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Wei was not a stickler for formalities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing his complaint, she cheerfully called out, “Big Brother Huo!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Yuan then nodded with a smile, and continued speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The person I want to recommend to Wei’er is the adopted son of Shopkeeper Situ from Canhangli in Bianzhou, named Situ Changge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite his young age of only twenty-one, he is remarkably astute, prudent and steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having been under the tutelage of Shopkeeper Situ since a young age, he has honed skills matching those of his father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was thinking of transferring him to be the chief shopkeeper of Canhangli in the capital, but since Little Sister Wei’er has requested, I guess I have to give him up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Cai Wei was overjoyed and thanked him profusely, “In that case, thank you for your sacrifice, Big Brother Huo!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Yuan looked at her playful demeanor and couldn’t help but laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve started calling me Big Brother Huo, so as your brother, how could I not make a sacrifice for my little sister?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coincidentally, I will be heading to Bianzhou in the next few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Little Sister Wei’er is available, I can bring you along to meet Shopkeeper Situ and take a look at Canhangli.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surveying the place firsthand would indeed be beneficial.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Wei’s smile instantly faded upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course she wanted to go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to go very much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But alas, she currently lived in a feudal ancient society.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if her parents were open-minded, they certainly wouldn’t be open-minded enough to allow their daughter to travel several hundreds of miles alone with a man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, her parents would not agree, and Huo Yuan’s plan was simply unrealistic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reflecting on this, she expressed her disappointment, “I really want to go, but how can my parents agree to this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sigh…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Yuan lamented, “That’s a pity then!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Wei also felt a pang of regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After mulling over it for a while, a spark of inspiration flashed in her mind, and then she was elated again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“May I know when Big Brother Huo plans to depart, when he will arrive, where he will be staying, and how long he will be staying?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Yuan replied, “I originally planned to leave today, but was poisoned yesterday and have to recuperate for a few days before I can travel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll probably set off on the twenty-eighth morning and arrive on the evening of the twenty-ninth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have a house in Bianzhou and will be staying there till the fifteenth, after celebrating the Lantern Festival, then I’ll return to the capital from Bianzhou.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, I see!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Wei bit her lip, nodding her head with a twinkle in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Although I can’t accompany Big Brother Huo, I might actually pay a surprise visit!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her sly smile resembling a little fox, Huo Yuan laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes softened, though he didn’t take her words seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he hoped she would visit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just the mere thought of parting from her for so long made him miss her already, even before they had parted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Bianzhou was at least three hundred miles from here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could Scholar Mu and his wife possibly let her go?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they were willing to let her, he was still apprehensive!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, at this moment…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Wei had already made plans for her trip to Bianzhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Bianzhou was several hundreds of miles away from Yushu County, to White Tiger, it was merely a three to five-hour journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could sneak out at night, meet Shopkeeper Situ at the Bianzhou mansion during the daytime, survey the workings of Canhangli, and then rush back under the cover of night!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon thinking about it, she felt both titillated and stimulated, her anticipation for the future journey to Bianzhou building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She even inquired Huo Yuan about the customs and practices of Bianzhou…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grandiose horse carriage moved slowly along the stone-paved roads of the county town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The horseshoes’ constant clip-clop echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Wei and Huo Yuan were engrossed in conversation, oblivious to the carriage’s direction until the coachman abruptly brought the carriage to a halt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only then that she thought to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where have we arrived?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The coachman lifted the carriage curtain and replied with utmost respect, “Master, we’ve reached Xuji Clothing Store.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please get off.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Wei exclaimed, “Big Brother Huo, are you buying clothes?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Huo Yuan was wearing a valuable sky-blue robe with an embroidered water pattern, complemented with a jade belt and a gold crown, enhancing his handsome and graceful demeanour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Yuan laughed, “Not me, you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Wei pointed at herself, somewhat bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Huo Yuan suddenly leaned over and grabbed her wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Wei, startled, tried to evade, but saw Huo Yuan lift her arm, pointing to an indistinct dried bloodstain under her armpit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said,”Yesterday I had no other option, had to rudely carry Little Sister Wei’er out of Li Mansion, and inadvertently ended up staining her clothes with my blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today I purposely brought you here to buy a new outfit for you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hope Little Sister Wei’er won’t mind.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei’er lifted her arm, looked at the black and red stain under her armpit and was reminded of the pain he had endured yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was somewhat moved and said softly, “Big Brother Huo, you are considerate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You saved me and I haven’t even thought about how to repay you, yet here you are planning to buy new clothes for me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am truly ashamed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Yuan laughed, “Once you called me ‘Big Brother’, it is only natural for me to buy you a few outfits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s no need for courtesy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking such formalities will only make us seem like strangers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Wei nodded, stood up and said, “In that case, I would rather obey with respect.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said that, Cai Wei and Huo Yuan alighted from the carriage one after the other and headed straight to Xuji Clothing Store.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A black silk horse carriage behind the Huo Household’s carriage also came to halt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the carriage,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was quiet; the air was cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man, as beautiful as an evildoer, sat with a gloomy face, leaning against a black ink fox fur chair, gazing out through the gap in the curtain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black shadow concealed him within the carriage, like a monster surrounded by Manzhushahua, coldly observing the enchanting figure disappearing into the entrance of Xuji Clothing Store.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luo Xue….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lazily began to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, master!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A stern-faced woman in green suddenly appeared, kneeling in front of the carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go, bring her to me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice inside the carriage was calm, without a ripple, making it impossible to decipher the speaker’s emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Zhui Feng and Zhui Yue, who had been with their master since childhood, could detect – their master was angry!\u003C\u002Fp>",1348,"2026-06-03T13:14:27.289Z","2026-06-03T13:14:31.392Z",1,"novelbin.me","a711826ae6898c3004726bd3f54bf00941a0468995319b09ca746bb0233f0fb2","transmigration-from-farmer-to-empress-chapter-307","transmigration-from-farmer-to-empress-chapter-306",2136,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftransmigration-from-farmer-to-empress-cover.jpg"]
