"Don't kneel, kneeling won't get you any New Year's money!"

...

Shen Jiao and the tyrant returned to the palace ahead of time, unaware of what happened at the Marquis Anbo's residence.

It wasn't until Liang Heng finished his work and entered the palace that he heard his vivid and detailed speech.

Shen Jiao's expression was excited.

That cheap father of Anbo Hou is a real character; he's all talk and no action!

He really slapped me!

After Liang Heng finished telling the story of the commotion, he added, "Chen Yu has definitely gone to seek refuge with Cai Qinshi now. Cai Qinshi is just a fighting rooster, and she likes to look down on people. Now, the whole royal city knows about her apprentice's grotesque tastes. I think she'll be so angry that she'll vomit blood this time."

"If that's the case, Shen Yu's reputation is currently in ruins. Will Cai Qinshi still allow her to participate in the Four Flowers Banquet?" Shen Jiao asked curiously.

"Yes." Ji Yan's voice was soft: "Cai Qinshi has placed all her hopes on Shen Yu. Shen Yu is the only knife she has personally honed. She has no other choice."

Even if she wanted to replace him, how could someone who came halfway through compare to a dog that she had personally trained? Tsai Chin-shi simply didn't trust him.

Liang Heng nodded and said, "That's right. The Four Flowers Banquet is a competition of strength. As for reputation, as long as it doesn't get completely rotten, it's fine. Anyway, if you can make it to the end, you can clear your name."

The top three finishers at the Four Flowers Banquet are all highly skilled contestants. They might be noticed by masters from the four arts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. If they are lucky enough to be accepted as disciples, it wouldn't be difficult for them to resolve some rumors and gossip.

"Since Shenyu has severed ties with the Marquis of Anbo's mansion, she can no longer take up a spot from the Marquis of Anbo's mansion when registering, right?"

Shen Jiao rested her chin on her hands, her chubby cheeks revealing soft flesh, making her look quite charming and innocent.

Liang Heng said, "That's natural."

Shen Jiao raised an eyebrow: "Can she accept it?"

“Of course not.” Ji Yan stretched out her finger and poked the hamster’s bulging cheeks.

It is very soft and has a great feel.

Tap it again!

Liang Heng's lips twitched, and he turned his head away, thinking sourly.

He shouldn't be here; he should be under the table!
