Seeing the Qi family's posture, everyone began to discuss it with suspicion.
"What's going on at the Qi residence? Could it be that Qi Zhenhe is planning to take a concubine?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Everyone knows that no male member of the Qi family has taken a concubine. Besides, Madam Qi has only recently given birth to two more sons. The two should still be very much in love."
"Could it be that Old Master Qi Dong is taking a concubine? Or is Old Madam Qi pregnant?"
"To say that Madam Qi is pregnant is quite possible! Madam Qi is a spiritual cultivator, so it's possible that she could get pregnant at this time. It's more plausible than Master Qi taking a concubine."
The more people talked, the more outrageous their speculations became, and the rumors quickly spread. Fortunately, someone knew to ask the Qi family's servants about the situation.
The servants had been waiting for this question, and Qi Fu, beaming, said, "What kind of nonsense are you all speculating? This is a joyous occasion for our young master!"
"Could it be that Young Madam Qi is pregnant?" The person who came to inquire had unknowingly steered the conversation back to the topic of pregnancy!
Qi Fu replied with a "you wouldn't know this" look on his face, "What pregnancy or not? Our young master and young mistress both passed the entrance exam for the Yuansheng Academy! And they're even top-tier disciples in the inner academy!"
Butterfly Stone Town is not large, nor is it close to the imperial city. The people asking the question didn't really know what Yuansheng Academy was, and they all looked indifferent.
Qi Fu felt like he had played his tune for a cow! He was so angry that he snorted. He had clearly wanted to show off, but the other party didn't understand at all!
Qi Fu was still quite young and didn't really know what the Yuansheng Academy was; he'd only heard about it from the master and the family heads. He just felt it was an extraordinary place. But when asked to explain it, he couldn't articulate it clearly. He could only silently seethe with frustration!
Just then, someone nearby overheard Qi Fu's conversation with the person next to him and stepped forward to explain, "Twelve years ago, the Wu family moved to the capital. Do you remember that?"
This matter was quite a big deal back then. The person asking the question was in his thirties and naturally remembered what happened twelve years ago: "You mean the young master of the Wu family made something of himself and moved the whole family to the capital? I certainly remember that."
A passerby said, "That young master Wu was selected as an outer disciple of the Yuansheng Academy because he participated in the selection process! The Wu family will be moving away."
The man who asked the question asked in surprise, "If being able to enter the outer courtyard can help the family like this, wouldn't it be even more remarkable to enter the inner courtyard?"
Qi Fu was also surprised by this! He was immediately overjoyed: "That's truly remarkable! Don't you know whose young master he is!"
At this point, the passerby stopped listening to their conversation and left after saying what he had said.
Where no one could see, he shook his head almost imperceptibly. There were actually some things he didn't say: that Young Master Wu died during a mission two years after entering the Yuansheng Academy.
Without Young Master Wu's help, the Wu family's strength ultimately failed to gain a foothold in the capital, and they have long since moved away to who knows where!
The Qi family's festivities continued. Following the news of Qi Zhenhe, Qi Dong, and Qi Wantian taking concubines, and Si Yuan, Yang Yao, and Qiu Yuerong becoming pregnant, the news also spread that Qi Zhiheng and Yang Yitian had been selected by a prestigious academy!
Just then, Qi Zhenhe began preparing for the move!
