"Situ Xuanye, get over here!" After Hua Qingcheng left, Situ Luoyun, who had no appetite, called Situ Ye to the study and criticized him harshly, feeling disappointed with him.

Situ Ye touched his ears which were itchy from being scolded, and smiled bitterly.

If possible, he would certainly prefer to be with Hua Qingcheng forever. However, he himself is a latecomer, and he is grateful that his elder brother has allowed him to settle down in the Hua family and treats him like a brother. Moreover, Tianlang and Mu Lige had a close relationship in their previous life. This... maybe it is fate!

As for Hua Qingcheng, who had left the Prime Minister's Mansion, she was heading towards the Binyue Inn in the city. It was lunchtime, so she stopped into a random restaurant on the way. Unexpectedly, this restaurant was quite unique. The furnishings were elegant and pleasant, but despite being in a busy area and lunchtime, the restaurant was sparsely populated.

Sitting in front of the counter, a woman in her thirties who looked very charming looked at Hua Qingcheng who walked in, with a look of surprise in her eyes.

She wore a blouse embroidered with butterflies and daffodils, a satin skirt embroidered with hundreds of golden butterflies and adorned with flowery clouds. Her hair was styled in a bun, topped with a hollowed-out peony-shaped red coral headpiece. Not only did she possess a breathtakingly beautiful face, but her every gesture exuded an air of elegance and ladylike grace. While she was beautiful, she couldn't compromise on proper etiquette.

Then, the charming woman said with a smile on her face: "Miss, we at Yiqiyan don't welcome every guest. You have to pass the test before you can enter."

"Assessment?"

Hua Qingcheng was struck by the mystery. Could it be that the people of the capital had gotten so involved? Even eating required a talent test?
