My family has been wielding knives for generations, but now it's my turn to wield a pen!

"Relationship?"

Upon hearing Jiang Xiaobai's words, Li Bingzhang paused slightly, then shook his head and said, "This... I've never heard of it."

"However, I can have someone investigate."

"Hmm, let's investigate."

Jiang Xiaobai nodded gently.

Some time ago, Zhao Bintian sent people to kill him on the street.

This time, Zhao Sheng tried to pin the issues of "On Teachers" and "On Horses" on him again.

If there is any relationship between these two people, then it is enough to show that the hand behind their backs is likely the same hand.

"good!"

Li Bingzhang naturally understood Jiang Xiaobai's meaning, and his expression became more serious: "I will give the order regarding this matter."

Jiang Xiaobai nodded slightly, then, as if remembering something, looked at Li Bingzhang again and asked, "Father-in-law, was the person who wrote this also a young man?"

"Um?"

Li Bingzhang looked at Jiang Xiaobai: "Why are you suddenly asking this?"

"Oh, it's nothing, I'm just a little curious."

Jiang Xiaobai leaned back in his chair and said with a smile, "After all, someone who can write should have some skills, right?"

"The person who wrote this should be a little older than you and Zhiwei."

Li Bingzhang said, "As for ability, hehe... those people in the Green Robe Society can't just randomly push someone out to be the writer."

"That's true!"

Jiang Xiaobai smiled and agreed. After exchanging a few more words with Li Bingzhang, Jiang Xiaobai stood up and said, "Father-in-law, I'll head back now."

"Um."

Li Bingzhang also stood up and looked at Jiang Xiaobai, saying, "You should prepare well these next two days. I think things won't be too peaceful at the Lanting Literary Gathering."

"I know."

Jiang Xiaobai laughed and said, "However, if things are too peaceful, it won't be very interesting."

"Ha, you..."

Upon hearing Jiang Xiaobai's words, Li Bingzhang couldn't help but shake his head, his tone filled with helplessness.

"Father-in-law, farewell!"

Jiang Xiaobai smiled and cupped his hands in greeting, then looked at Tang Ningshuang and Zhang Xinnian: "Let's go."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Zhang Xinnian responded.

Tang Ningshuang didn't say much, but simply followed Jiang Xiaobai outside.

Li Bingzhang did not escort them too far.

Standing under the corridor, watching Jiang Xiaobai and the other two figures gradually disappear into the distance, the smile on his face slowly faded.

After a moment, Li Bingzhang raised his hand, and a servant quickly walked over, bowing respectfully: "Prime Minister."

"Um!"

Li Bingzhang said calmly, "Go and investigate whether there is any relationship between Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bintian."

"Yes."

The servant nodded immediately, turned around, and quickly left.

After everyone had gone far away, just as Li Bingzhang was about to leave, a gentle voice rang out: "Father!"

Li Bingzhang turned around and saw Li Zhiwei walking over from outside the corridor.

She was still wearing a veil, and her dress was simple and elegant, making her look very graceful.

"Wei'er?"

When Li Bingzhang saw his daughter, a smile immediately appeared on his face. He then said with a smile, "You're a little late."

"If we had come a little earlier, we might have seen Xiaobai."

"I...who...who wants to see him!"

Li Zhiwei paused slightly, her voice softened, and a hint of shyness flashed across her face as she looked away.

"Alright, alright, I'm not here to see him."

Seeing Li Zhiwei's reaction, Li Bingzhang couldn't help but laugh twice: "You just happened to be walking this way, right?"

"Oh, Father!"

Li Zhiwei's voice was tinged with shyness.

"Ha ha!"

Li Bingzhang laughed even more heartily.

His daughter was intelligent and steady from a young age.

Let alone looking like this, even under normal circumstances, it's not easy to see her panic.

But now?

Whenever Jiang Xiaobai is mentioned, the girl's shyness becomes impossible to hide.

That's really strange.

After laughing, Li Bingzhang looked at Li Zhiwei and said, "Taking care of him last night, you didn't get tired, did you?"

"without."

As Li Zhiwei shook her head, her ears felt slightly hot again.

Did you have a hard night?

It's certainly hard work.

Jiang Xiaobai was very drunk, sometimes frowning and sometimes talking nonsense.

She wiped Jiang Xiaobai's face and stayed by his side, barely closing her eyes all night.

But she didn't find it annoying at all. In fact, when she saw Jiang Xiaobai sleeping soundly as dawn was approaching, she felt an inexplicable sense of peace.

She had never felt this way before.

Of course, she couldn't possibly say these things to her father.

"It's good that you're not too tired."

Seeing Li Zhiwei with her head down, Li Bingzhang's smile deepened, and his voice softened: "You should also make preparations these next few days."

"The Lanting Literary Gathering will surely attract many important figures. Since you are going, you must not tarnish your reputation as the most talented woman in the capital."

"My daughter understands."

Li Zhiwei nodded gently.

"Um."

Li Bingzhang said, "The reopening of Lanting Tower this time may seem like a literary gathering, but it may not actually be just that."

"When the time comes, observe and listen carefully. If anything is wrong, you can discuss it with Xiaobai."

"Yes, Father."

Li Zhiwei replied again, "Father, then...then I'll take my leave."

"Go."

Li Bingzhang nodded.

Li Zhiwei bowed and turned to walk outside.

He had only taken a couple of steps when Li Bingzhang's voice came from behind him again: "Heh, you still say you didn't come to see Xiaobai."

Indeed, Li Zhiwei rarely comes here unless she has something to do. The fact that she left after only a few words speaks volumes.

Li Zhiwei paused, but instead of turning around, she quickened her pace.

The figure looked somewhat like it was fleeing in panic.

Li Bingzhang watched his daughter's departing figure and couldn't help but laugh again, but a moment later he felt an indescribable sigh.

He always felt that his daughter had too high standards.

That's right, he doesn't even look at ordinary talented men, nor does he consider the sons of high-ranking officials and nobles.

Even when faced with renowned scholars, Li Zhiwei would only respond with a faint murmur.

But who could have imagined that one day, it would be Jiang Xiaobai, the one with the worst reputation in the capital, who would enter his daughter's heart?

Thinking of this, Li Bingzhang shook his head slightly again.

Sometimes, things in life are truly unpredictable.

Fortunately, Jiang Xiaobai is indeed not as rumored.

Otherwise, his old father would also be worried!

With a smile, Li Bingzhang turned and left with his hands behind his back.

……

Outside the Prime Minister's residence at this moment.

Jiang Xiaobai boarded the carriage first, and after putting on the armor, he let Tang Ningshuang come up.

"You actually wore it?"

After Tang Ningshuang got into the carriage, she looked at Jiang Xiaobai and said.

"Hmm, I must say, this soft armor fits really well and is quite comfortable!"

Jiang Xiaobai nodded and said, "Besides, wearing this soft armor makes me feel much safer!"

As he spoke, Jiang Xiaobai glanced at Tang Ningshuang's sword.

Tang Ningshuang gave Jiang Xiaobai a cold look and said, "That soft armor is indeed quite nice, but precisely because it's a treasure, you might have to take it back someday!"

"impossible!"

Jiang Xiaobai said, "Brother Mo, you're a grown man, how could you possibly take back what you've said!"

"Oh……"

Tang Ningshuang gave a mocking laugh and then fell silent.

At that very moment, a scream suddenly rang out in the previously quiet room on the tenth floor of Tianjifang.

"ah!!"

"Where's my soft armor?!"
