His attitude was gentle, but he refused very decisively.
This made Liang Shangshu's expression feel a little unhappy.
He turned his head and looked at his daughter.
Liang Xiuwan was indeed full of gloomy eyes.
Shangshu Liang had no choice but to laugh: "There is no hurry to do these things, just give me a few instructions, so I won't even have to worry about eating."
"Although official duties are important, physical affairs are more important."
Qiao Xiuli refused repeatedly: "I am not hungry, thank you Lord Shangshu."
As a result, Liang Shangshu couldn't help but nod and let him go.
After Qiao Xiuli left, Liang Xiuwan sat down next to the meal with a little discouraged look.
Shangshu Liang closed the door and whispered: "Why not be happy? He is not the only one of the good men in the entire capital?"
"Although Qiao Xiuli is outstanding in ability and looks particularly handsome, he is six years older than you."

"He doesn't like you, so dad will find you a better husband's family, won't it be nice?"
Liang Xiuwan has been spoiled since she was a child. She is smart and beautiful, and no one likes her.
Besides, there are naturally many who are noble in their background.
But she just likes Qiao Xiuli's cold and serious appearance.
At the Liang Shangshu, she choked up aggrievedly and said, "I just like him, I don't want anything else!"
Since Qiao Xiuli came to the Ministry of Revenue, every New Year and Festival, the entire Ministry of Revenue bureaucrats would go to Liang Shangshu's house to greet him.
Among so many people, Liang Xiuwan suddenly saw Qiao Xiuli.
He is tall, has a cold temperament, and sometimes, he is as gentle as a piece of jade.
It is not an exaggeration to describe him as a crane standing out in the flock.
Liang Xiuwan liked her and was old enough to get married. She asked around that Qiao Xiuli had no family, and then begged Liang Shangshu to help her out.
However, she did not expect that Qiao Xiuli would not give her the opportunity to sit down and have dinner together.
Shangshu Liang felt sorry for his daughter and had to say, "Don't worry, when you go back, I will discuss with your mother and find a way for you."
Qiao Xiuli felt that he had been absent-minded all day, as if he was always thinking about whether Lan Lan could be happy at home alone.
After finally waiting for the time to step down, he hurriedly said goodbye to his colleagues and left the government office in a sedan chair.
My colleagues laughed and joked—
"If I hadn't known that Mr. Qiao hadn't gotten married, I would have thought he was in a hurry to go back to see his wife."
"Maybe it's a good thing that is coming soon. Only with the girl you like can you run so fast."
At this time, everyone just used it as an interesting thing to tease it, but they didn't expect that Qiao Xiuli's cold personality was really for a girl.
Qiao Xiuli hurried back to the mansion, and as soon as he entered the mansion, he asked the butler: "How is Miss Lan living today?"
The housekeeper laughed dryly: "Sir, Miss Lan has gone out and hasn't come back yet."
Qiao Xiu paused when he walked into her yard.
He turned his head and said, "Where have you gone?"
"I was taken to the old house by the old lady and the others." said the housekeeper.
Qiao Xiuli's thin eyes were slightly shocked.
Before he could tell his family about Lan Lan’s return, why did his grandmother and the others know about it first?
Qiao Xiuli immediately turned around, not sitting in a sedan chair, but rode his horse and went directly to the direction of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
When he arrived at the doorstep, the horse had already jumped down before he could stop.
"Young Master is back!" The concierge came to greet him with a smile.
Qiao Xiuli threw the reins to the concierge: "Has Lan Lan been here?"
The concierge smiled and nodded: "Yes, I'm talking to the old lady and the others in the main room!"
