The Cloud Feather of the Red Chamber: A Marriage Arranged with Gong Yuanzheng at the Start

A cold glint flashed in Gong Yuanzheng's eyes; the man's gaze filled him with deep disgust.

I even felt a little nauseous.

This was the first time in his life that someone had dared to look at him like that.

After receiving no reply for a long time, Master Xue hesitated and glanced at the carriage beside him.

Yes, it's the mark of the palace gate.

Looking at Gong Yuanzheng's attire, it is almost identical to that of the legendary Palace Master of Zheng Palace.

He hesitated for a moment, then asked again, "Are you perhaps the young master Zheng from the palace gate?"

Gong Yuanzheng remained expressionless, his cold gaze sweeping over Xue Pan. "Get lost."

Concise and to the point, straightforward and efficient.

Master Xue was taken aback, never expecting Gong Yuanzheng to have such an attitude.

They showed absolutely no mercy to anyone.

But at the same time, he was certain in his heart that this person was definitely Gong Yuanzheng.

His eccentric personality and bizarre behavior are exactly as rumored.

As imperial merchants, and backed by the Jia and Wang families, the Xue family wielded immense power in Jinling.

Although the Xue family's status in Jiangnan is not as high as that in Jinling, they are still a prominent family in the business world.

For Master Xue, being humiliated like this by a junior was a first in his life.

But times have changed. The Xue family has fallen on hard times, and since Master Xue needs something from others, he naturally dares not show any displeasure.

He suppressed his frustration, coughed a few times, and then said weakly:

"Our Xue family is also related to the Jia family, so in a way, we have some connection with the palace..."

"Don't you understand human language?"

Gong Yuanzheng interrupted Master Xue directly. He looked at Qingyu's puffed-up little face and didn't even glance at the Xue family father and son.

"If you don't know how to shut up, I can help you shut up."

The extremely calm tone of his voice sent a chill down Master Xue's spine.

Having been in the business world for so long, he was adept at reading people's expressions and naturally knew that Gong Yuanzheng was genuinely impatient.

He immediately swallowed back all the words he wanted to say.

There are plenty of opportunities to build connections, but if you lose your life, it's all in vain.

Madam Lin is also at the Jia family's house today. He should first establish a good relationship with the Lin family before seeking help from the palace.

He couldn't show his displeasure to Gong Yuanzheng, so he could only smile awkwardly and politely, give Xue Pan a look, and then turn and walk towards the Jia family.

Looking at his father's back and then at Gong Yuanzheng, Xue Pan felt a little regretful. Why didn't his father say a few more words about such a beautiful woman?

He naturally heard what Gong Yuanzheng said.

It's normal for a beautiful woman to have some temper.

Just coax her a little, and she'll eventually calm down.

Moreover, the more fiery a woman is, the more irresistible she is to him.

After walking a few steps with his father, Xue Pan finally couldn't help but turn back to look at Gong Yuanzheng.

In that instant, one could see Gong Yuanzheng bowing his head and smiling gently, coaxing the child in his arms.

The corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and her white teeth were faintly visible.

The beauty who was just moments ago as cold as ice is now as gentle and lovely as a spring breeze.

Unable to contain himself, Xue Pan walked towards Gong Yuanzheng, "Good brother, come with me into the mansion!"

"Brother Bao, do you have any top-quality rouge? I'll get you a few boxes!"

"Pan'er!"

"stop!"

Two voices sounded at the same time.

Master Xue was furious and terrified, while Qingyu looked disgusted.

Gong Yuanzheng looked at Xue Pan with some confusion. This relative of the Jia family, like the Jia family members, had a brain ailment.

Why would a grown man like him need rouge?

"Pan'er! Come here right now!"

Master Xue was so angry that his hands were trembling, but Xue Pan was even more reluctant to part with him.

She truly is a beauty; no matter her expression, whether she's smiling or not, she's always captivating.

He couldn't help but take two steps closer to Gong Yuanzheng, but Qingyu angrily shouted to stop him: "You're not allowed to come any closer!"

Xue Pan then noticed that Gong Yuanzheng was holding a little boy in his arms.

The boy looked somewhat familiar, and after a moment's thought, Xue Pan immediately remembered him.

Isn't this the little fairy boy beside those two pure and innocent young masters that I met in Jinling?

Xue Pan instinctively covered his right arm and shivered.

My arm, which had just healed last month, has started to ache again.

That snow-white beauty looks weak and vulnerable, but she is actually the most ruthless!

Just thinking about those fair and smooth wrists...

Xue Pan felt that he hadn't been wronged by the beating he received.

It's just a pity that I couldn't get to enjoy her beauty.

Looking at Gong Yuanzheng again, the evil thoughts that had just dissipated instantly returned.

Those who appear kind on the surface are often the most ruthless.

So, is this seemingly fierce person actually the easiest to bully?

He smiled kindly at Qingyu, "Little fairy, are those two young masters Xue here from last time? I have some misunderstandings with them, and we need to clear them up as soon as possible."

Qingyu's voice betrayed her disgust, "Brother Xiaoxue doesn't want to see you! Stay away from us!"

Xue Pan tried to get closer to him again, but Master Xue was already sweating profusely.

I know my own son's character.

If it were anyone else, he would have done whatever they wanted.

With the Jia and Wang families around, he can naturally be kept safe and sound.

But the person in front of us is no ordinary person; he is a true nemesis.

Was Xue Pan afraid of living too long, or was the Xue family living too well, by provoking him?

Ignoring all etiquette, Master Xue strode forward, grabbed Xue Pan, and headed towards the Jia family home.

Even though Xue Pan was very bold, he didn't dare to push away Master Xue and could only follow him.

As they were about to enter, Xue Pan's regret reached its peak.

He's just a few steps away. If he can win over the little fairy boy, he might just be able to get close to her.

It's alright, though. Fortunately, he knows the beauty's identity, so there will be plenty of opportunities to visit her in the future.

Before stepping through the gate, he couldn't help but turn back, his eyes filled with a flirtatious gaze as he looked at Gong Yuanzheng.

"My beautiful lady, I will come to your residence to find you tomorrow. Wait for me!"

Gong Yuanzheng felt a buzzing in his head. He slowly turned his head to look at Xue Pan, his murderous intent in his eyes undisguised.

Okay, very good. Since you're so eager to die, then he must grant your wish.

Gong Zishang spat out all her tea, and after a violent cough, she burst into the loudest laughter she'd had in over twenty years.

Good heavens! She actually witnessed Gong Yuanzheng being harassed in her lifetime!

That's Gong Yuanzheng!

"Hahahahahahahahahahaha! Yuan, Yuanzheng, little brother! You've been teased! You've been teased by a man! Hahahahahahahahaha!"

Gong Yuanzheng's face turned red with anger. He wished he could immediately draw his knife and kill that Xue fellow!

What audacity! How dare they...

There is no need to endure it anymore!

The tea table where Gong Zishang had placed fruits was smashed to pieces by Gong Yuanzheng's palm.

The surroundings quieted down a bit, but the suppressed laughter of the guards and servants still lingered.

Gong Zishang made a shushing gesture, but her trembling shoulders and smiling eyes could not hide how happy she was at that moment.

Gong Yuanzheng was furious.

A quick glance revealed that Young Master Xue was also covering his mouth to suppress a laugh, and Gong Yuanzheng suddenly curved the corners of his mouth into a smile.

"Judging from Qingyu's words, that Xue fellow must have done something bad to you too."
