My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

"What kind of person is he?"

Upon hearing the question, Qing Luan thought for a moment before responding with a lowered gaze, "Princely Heir, Lin Yunzhen has a rather good reputation in the Capital city. He is known for his philanthropy and is also a scholar of the Great Zhou Academy. He\'s a renowned talent in the Capital, excelling in both poetry and essays, and is admired by many noble daughters of Capital families."

Cheng Guang found this puzzling upon hearing her words, "That\'s strange though. If Lin Yunzhen really is such a person, he wouldn\'t lack for female company. Why would he come to Ping\'an County and take a fancy to a woman he just happened to pass by?"

Cheng Guang\'s words, although a bit crude, were not without reason.

Qing Luan nodded slightly after hearing this, a hint of confusion in her beautiful eyes. She too did not understand.

"Could it be... that this girl from the Liu family... is extraordinarily beautiful?"

Cheng Guang frowned slightly. It wasn\'t a question of whether or not she was beautiful. Even if she were stunning, for a powerful elite of such status, beauty was never in short supply.

Rather, they would place extreme importance on status and family background.

Out of all the noble daughters in the Capital, Lin Yunzhen had not chosen any of them but instead, upon passing through Ping\'an County, took a liking to the third daughter of the Liu family and now sought to marry her.

Either something was off with Lin Yunzhen, or something was peculiar about the third daughter of the Liu family that attracted him.

Cheng Guang\'s gaze then settled on Li Mingtang and he said, "Prefect Li, you\'ve heard what\'s been said just now. Take care of this silver theft case when you go back."

Li Mingtang, upon being addressed by Cheng Guang, could no longer feign ignorance and hurriedly nodded in acknowledgement.

Apart from the backing of Lin Yunzhen, the son of the current Prime Minister, which made the county officials hesitant to act against the Liu Family, those officials within the county government who had hidden their actions from him and sought to curry favor with the Liu Family could not be spared.

Cheng Guang then looked towards Liu Hao, "Lord Liu."

That\'s all Cheng Guang said.

Liu Hao, upon hearing Cheng Guang calling him by name, suddenly became tense, standing stiffly in place like a child caught in a misdeed, nervously fidgeting with the hem of his robe, unsure of what to say.

He could only respond obediently and listen to Cheng Guang\'s directives.

Cheng Guang said, "That Zhang Shunlong, arrange for someone to wash and dress him, treat his injuries, and change his clothes. Later, I\'ll take him to the Prime Minister\'s Mansion to see your daughter."

The moment Cheng Guang uttered these words, Liu Hao, who had been very reserved, immediately realized that the esteemed Town-Nation Duke\'s Heir was likely intending to help Zhang Shunlong.

He planned to snatch his daughter straight from Prime Minister\'s Mansion.

Liu Hao became conflicted, too afraid to speak out. After hesitating for a moment, he cautiously said, "Princely Heir, this... this doesn\'t seem proper..."

"My third daughter has gone to Prime Minister\'s Mansion, and she seems to be doing quite well there. Mr. Lin is a renowned extraordinary gentleman in the Capital. It\'s already a social climb for my daughter to be able to marry Mr. Lin."

Liu Hao still couldn\'t let go of the connection to the high branch that was Lin Yunzhen.

Having his daughter married to Lin Yunzhen, these past days in Ping\'an County he had been basking in glory. Whenever he went out, regardless of whether others knew him, when they heard his daughter had married the son of the Prime Minister Lin Yunzhen, they all showed respect.

Compared to being the son of a lowly yamen runner like Zhang Shunlong, marrying into Lin\'s family was much better.

Hearing Liu Hao\'s words, Cheng Guang felt Liu Hao was naively optimistic and significatively said, "Do you really believe that your daughter is living well in Prime Minister\'s Mansion?"

As soon as Cheng Guang posed this question, both Liu Hao and his Liu Family entourage were momentarily taken aback.

In their eyes, marrying into Prime Minister\'s Mansion, even if not considered of high importance, was still entering the realm of the elite, ensuring luxurious living.

It couldn\'t be that bad, could it?

Cheng Guang shook his head helplessly, saying nothing.

From Cheng Guang\'s own understanding, an ordinary person could not possibly marry into a powerful and distinguished family.

Speaking nicely, the third daughter of the Liu Family had married into Prime Minister\'s Mansion.

Less charitably, perhaps she had been taken into the mansion by Lin Yunzhen, the son of the Prime Minister, to become a plaything.

There was a good chance she was a plaything without dignity.

Many days had passed, and what the third daughter, Liu Yuting, had become by now, Cheng Guang dared not contemplate, finding the situation extremely frustrating.

The elite of this world really didn\'t value human life.

A casual word could crush a commoner.

A simple gesture could determine the fate of an entire noble house.

With complex thoughts, Cheng Guang couldn\'t help but sigh and said, "Alright, I hope your third daughter is safe and sound. Go make the arrangements now, and bring Zhang Shunlong to me later."

Liu Hao, weighed down with heavy thoughts, agreed and quickly instructed a woman beside him to arrange things. They fetched Zhang Shunlong from the decrepit wooden house, and after cleaning him up and treating his injuries to some extent,

Liu Hao himself had originally thought that having Lin Yunzhen, the son of the Prime Minister, take a fancy to his daughter was like a pie falling from the sky – a stroke of incredible luck.

Yet after listening to this Princely Heir, it didn\'t seem like such good fortune after all.

Could it be that his third daughter truly wasn\'t faring well in Prime Minister\'s Mansion?

Liu Hao had a bad premonition in his heart.

A woman beside him seemed to realize something too, her eyes gleaming with unshed tears, as she tugged at Liu Hao\'s sleeve and said, "Master, come to think of it, Yuting has not written back since she was taken to the Capital by that nobleman."
