Even if he was not married, had no wife, and had no children, didn’t he have a mother and a younger sister? He had just been brought to the Imperial Capital a few days ago, and the Minister’s wife had naturally sent an invitation to invite Madam Pei and Pei Fufu to attend the banquet.

Madam Pei couldn’t wait to talk to the wives of high-ranking officials. She felt that it would make her image look good. Once she was invited, she immediately brought her daughter, Pei Fufu, along.

Pei Dongyu was only 21 years old. Ever since he became the top scorer, many people in the Imperial Capital wanted to take him in as their son-in-law. However, because Pei Dongyu was engaged to the daughter of Mister Zhang, the dean of Shengming Academy, and because Mister Zhang only had one child, he naturally wanted to keep this daughter by his side for another two years. Therefore, even if Pei Dongyu wanted to marry her, he had to wait. Those who wanted to take him in as their son-in-law naturally gave up.

Naturally, no one would bring up the idea of betrothing their daughter to Pei Dongyu.

Someone politely asked Pei Fufu about her age and whether she was married.

“I’m seventeen years old, yes.” Madam Pei smiled.

Just then, the Ministers wife walked over. When she heard this, she stopped and asked politely, “Which young master will she be marrying into from the

Imperial Capital?”

“Not from the Imperial Capital. He’s from our hometown.” Madam Pei smiled.

When the Minister’s wife heard this, she only smiled. When the other madams heard this, their expressions were also very subtle.

Madam Pei was afraid that she would be laughed at and unable to raise her head. She quickly smiled and said, “Although he is not a young master, he is currently in the southern military camp and is being personally taught by the Duke.”

Duke?

Da Ling only had a few dukes. Wasn’t that only the Empress’s father, the current Duke Shao?

The other madams naturally looked up to Madam Pei. Many of them were even flattered, “Then your future son-in-law must have a bright future.”

Madam Pei’s face was naturally flushed, feeling extremely proud.

Unfortunately, Madam Pei still did not know that the Imperial Capital was deep and that there were factions in the Imperial Capital. This Minister’s wife was Marquis Ji’s niece.

She was Consort Yi’s cousin.

When the Minister’s wife heard this, she smiled and flattered, “”To be able to receive the personal guidance of the High Duke, in time, Madam, your future son-in-law will definitely become a great person.”

Internally, she was very disgusted.

“What is the name of your future son-in-law?” If she knew his name, she could tell her cousin and uncle so that they could investigate this person.

There was actually someone who was personally taught by Duke Shao. This person was definitely not simple.

Madam Pei naturally would not say that her future son-in-law was called Xue Sanfu. She had always felt that this name was too unpresentable. It just so happened that her future son-in-law had a new name in the military camp because he had studied and learned to read. It was her son who told her that Duke Shao called Xue Sanfu this way. She smiled and said, “Xue Heng.”

When the coming-of-age ceremony was over and all the guests had left, the

Minister’s wife asked for a sedan chair to be prepared. She went to her cousin’s house, which was Marquis Ji’s house.

When Marquis Ji heard this, he muttered, “Xue Heng… I’ve never heard of this name before…

“Do you want to tell your cousin about this?” The minister’s wife asked with a smile.

“You’re very thoughtful.” Marquis Ji said with a pleasant expression. “Let’s not tell her about this for now. It’s the same if I send someone to investigate.”

After settling this matter, he sent people to investigate this person called Xue

Heng.

He planned to tell his daughter after he had investigated the matter.

This was easy to investigate. In Pingan Town, many people knew that the sister of the top scholar was betrothed to Xue Sanfu of Locust Village..
