Hung Chi-hsing's eyes widened, then she sprang to her feet with incredible speed. The astonishment on her face instantly transformed into anger. In Tang Hao-ching's injured gaze, she bowed respectfully. "Greetings to Lord Nan Yu."

"Seven Stars..." Tang Haojing wanted to help her up, but he saw Hong Qixing instinctively take two steps back, dodging his hand.

Tang Haojing took a deep breath, "Are you really going to do this?"

Hong Qixing bowed his head, "My mother always said that I was like her, not following the rules, and I would suffer great losses in the future. She was lucky to meet my father, but I may not be as lucky as her, so it's better to follow the rules, lest I suffer bad luck later."

"I am not an outsider."

Hung Chih-hsing remained unmoved.

Tang Haojing was just preparing to go see her this afternoon when she arrived herself. Before she could say anything, a man's voice came from next door.

"Qixing, where are you? We're leaving."

Hong Qixing replied with a grunt, completely ignoring Tang Haojing's furrowed brows, as if he had seen a ghost and ran away.

The family next door is the Fu family. To be so good friends with Qixing, it must be Fu Tian'guan.

Tang Haojing still knows.

"How did you get to the next room?" Fu Tian Guan saw Hong Qi Xing, "Do you know that Nan Yu Wang has arrived?"

"How could I possibly know?" Hong Qigong vehemently denied. "It's you, he came and you didn't even tell me."

"You didn't ask me either, did you guys see the face?" Fu Tiangan inquired curiously.

Ke Hongqi Xing obviously didn't want to talk much, "Brother Tian Guan, hurry up, you've already wasted half an hour. Why are you dawdling like a young lady?"

Fu Tian'gan had never been called like a young lady before. He grew up with his tough father, mostly in the military camp, tougher than anyone else. Now, he's being treated like a little sister, that's how it goes.

"Alright, alright. It's all my fault. I was wrong. How about I grill you some rabbit later to make amends?"

Hong Qixing glared at him, "Did you bring any fruit?"

"Got it."

Hung Chih-hsing laughed, "Then I won't be angry. I was going there to pick fruit anyway. Who knew he would choose to live there instead of the palace?"

Fu Tian'guan was not a reckless man, he was both brave and intelligent. How could he possibly not know why Nan Yu Wang Tang Haojing chose to live there?

However, looking at Qi-xing's current state, it seems her anger won't be so easily dispelled. He didn't dare to advise her any further, lest she ignore him completely.

Tang Haojing here, knowing that Hong Qixing and Fu Tian'guan are close, it's fine. If it were some other kid from the Fu family, he would be somewhat worried.

It's still best to pack up your things.

"Your Highness, where should we put this snake?"

Tang Haojing looked at the steamed buns the servant brought up. Inside was a snake that looked exactly like Xiao Ai, but he also knew, Xiao Ai was dead. Even if it looked the same, it wasn't Xiao Ai.

And the little sweetheart was also killed by him.

He closed his eyes, his thoughts racing. "Just leave it here," he murmured.

I don't know if she will accept it again.

It's not just Nan Yu Wang who came to the capital. The parents of Wei Jia and Wei Ling'er's younger brother, Wei Yun Feng, are also here.

At this moment, a family of four is in a remote, small courtyard. Wei Ling'er's mother, Zhao shi, glances at the cramped house with some disdain.

"Ling'er, didn't you pass the imperial examinations and become a top scholar? Why do you live in such a dilapidated house? Shouldn't officials who hold high positions live in spacious mansions with numerous servants? Honestly, I think it's even worse than our old house back home."

Wei Yunfeng, in his teens, was going through puberty and his voice was a bit strange. "Sister, how can you live like this? It's even worse than ordinary people! Didn't mother say that after you passed the exam, I would be the young master, with maidservants to attend to me? What's going on?"

Both the mother and son were disgusted, Wei Guang was the same too. He just didn't want to upset his daughter's face. After all, he was a man and thought more deeply. "Just bear with it for now, Li Er isn't she just newly appointed? Then in the future, there will be plenty of benefits! Li Er, how much salary do you get each month?"

“Right, right, right. These two years I haven’t worn new clothes to afford your education. If I don’t wear them now, I’ll be old. Ling’er, your parents only hope that you will succeed. Tell me, whose parents are as good as mine? They worked so hard for your future. Girls your age would have been married long ago, you should really respect your parents.”

Wei Guang smiled and nodded, no need to reply, what was he fussing about anyway?

Wei Yunfeng also looked like Wei Ling'er owed him money, "Sister, get me someone to serve me quickly."

Wei Ling'er sighed, "My salary isn't much right now, and it hasn't been paid yet. This is the money I saved to rent a place. You can stay here for a while. The most important thing is that we are all together as a family."

She grew up living with others and all she longed for was a happy family reunion.

She imagined it should be like the Fu family, a harmonious and united family who weathered storms together. Even during times of hardship, every member remained close at heart.

However, she thought so, but the three closest people to her in this world didn't think so.

"The salary isn't much, so come up with a plan! There's no such thing as a stingy official!" Zhao glared at Xiaoruanzi, displeasure etched on her face. She kicked something near her feet in disdain. "We came to the capital to enjoy ourselves following you, but next month we're moving out of this courtyard. At most, we'll endure until then."

She ignored Wei Ling'er's expression, her own daughter, she wanted to say whatever she wanted, "Also, you need to look decent, and your studies have to be good, that's enough. As for what official position you'll hold, I heard that the previous two top scholars got married well, you are not inferior, so you will definitely marry well too. Mother has already said this beforehand, we don't have dowry anymore, it was all spent on your education, but the betrothal gifts can't be less, you are a top scholar after all."

"Mother, I want to become an official..."

"Oh, dear, when it comes to government work, that's a man's business. Just prove you have the ability. Finding a good husband is the real deal. You need to be careful and avoid gossip. Focus on those in high positions. Their age doesn't matter. I'm only saying this for your own good."

Wei Guang smiled and nodded. "Lin'er is so clever, she understands all of this. She's a top scholar, after all, she wouldn't marry just anyone, at the very least she should marry someone high-ranking, right?"

Wei Ling'er's brows were tightly furrowed, more than anything else, it was disappointment. "Father, mother, are money more important in your eyes?"

"Isn't it because you have the ability to say that? Besides, we've been struggling for years so you could study. You should be filial and give us more money, shouldn't you?" Zhao said.

Then came a string of complaints about the small size of the yard, and she felt it was necessary to hire several servants to attend to it.

"Mother, I want a beautiful maidservant." Wei Yunfeng wasn't very old, but he already had many thoughts in his head.

Wei Ling'er looked at her father, after all, he was still different from her mother's short-sightedness, "Father~".

“Haha, Ling'er, I think your mother is right. We are just taking some benefits and marrying a high-ranking official. You are the biggest beneficiary, right?” Wei Guang laughed, also thinking to himself if he should find a concubine too, after all, his wife was too coarse, now that their status was different.
