His eyes lit up, and he began to chat with Su Ruojin, his initial awkwardness completely disappearing.
Even as they reached the entrance of the General's Mansion, Su Ziyang was still chatting with some lingering interest.
Su Ruojin smiled and said, "Second Brother, I'll go in first. We can chat some more later."
As the commander of the Imperial Guards, Su Ziyang was responsible for the security of the capital and the palace, and had many duties to attend to, so he had to bid farewell to his younger sister.
Su Ruojin was thinking about when she would return to Yanyang and how she could ask her second master to forge a sword for her second brother.
Madam Su's injuries had improved considerably. When she saw Su Ruojin, she was happy to take her hand and examine her carefully. Only after confirming that Su Ruojin was alright did she feel relieved.
When they returned from the banquet that day, the Su father and son did not want her to worry, so they did not tell Madam Su about Su Ruojin's injury, and only said that everything was fine.
"Jin'er, now that the person has been caught and the young master has recovered, you should return to the General's Mansion as soon as possible. Your father and I have calculated the auspicious date, and the day after tomorrow is an auspicious day. How about you officially return to the General's Mansion the day after tomorrow?"
Madam Su looked on with great anticipation; this was something she had been looking forward to for over ten years.
Su Ruojin couldn't bear to see her mother like this anymore, so she nodded and said, "Okay, Mother, I'll go back to the General's Mansion the day after tomorrow."
"Excellent, excellent. I'll have people prepare and send out invitations right away. I want to welcome my Jin'er back to the General's Mansion in grand style."
The general's mansion was bustling with activity, but Wei Xuecheng, having been beaten up by Su Ziyang, dared not cause any trouble for Su Ziyang.
He is the commander of the Imperial Guards. Even my father would have to give him some respect. Wei Xuecheng is just a son of a concubine of the Duke of Dingguo. How could he expect his father to stand up for him?
"Let's go! To Chunxiang Pavilion."
Chunxiang Pavilion, the second most famous brothel in the capital, was where Wei Xuecheng was taken care of by Yue Niang. He finally recovered a bit and put his arm around Yue Niang, saying, "Yue Niang is the most considerate. Have a good drink with me tonight."
Moon Lady put away the bottle of medicinal wine in her hand: "Second Young Master, what happened to you?"
"Ugh, don't even mention it. I've got into a fight with Su Ziyang. You know Su Ziyang, right? He's the commander of the Imperial Guards. Don't let my appearance fool you, he's in a much worse situation than me." Wei Xuecheng said, raising his head with a smug look on his face.
Yue Niang chuckled and leaned in: "That's right, Second Young Master is truly amazing. How could Commander Su compare to you?"
"That's right, serve the master well and you'll be richly rewarded." Wei Xuecheng tossed over a silver ingot, which Yue Niang caught. "Thank you, young master. Yue Niang will serve you comfortably."
When Wei Xuecheng walked out of Chunxianglou drunk, it was almost the end of Xu Shi (9 pm).
The guards helped him into the carriage: "Young master, where are we going?"
After making money from the Beauty Pavilion, Wei Xuecheng bought a five-courtyard house outside, and sometimes he didn't return to the Duke of Dingguo's mansion.
"Let's go visit the estates on the outskirts of Beijing."
Just now, Yue Niang complained that she couldn't buy any lipsticks from Meiren Pavilion and asked Wei Xuecheng for some, but he refused.
Wei Xuecheng remembered Lin Wanqing's words: once something's status is lowered, its price can't go up.
Wei Xuecheng didn't understand what this meant at first.
When he later saw ladies and young women from prominent families in the capital coming to the shop to pay with large sums of silver, he understood and felt that Lin Wanqing was even smarter.
After drinking today, Wei Xuecheng was provoked by Su Ruojin and suddenly thought of Lin Wanqing.
They were all from the Yan Yang Lin family. If Su Ruojin dared to disrespect him, he wanted to see if Lin Wanqing would dare to do the same.
The carriage arrived at the estate, and a maid informed Lin Wanqing that the second young master had arrived.
Lin Wanqing's expression changed drastically.
Putting aside why Wei Xuecheng came back so late, there's still a menacing figure living in her room.
If Wei Xuecheng found out that she was hiding a man, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Under Lin Wanqing's secret care these past few days, Fei Molong's injuries have improved somewhat, but he is not yet old enough to set off back to Bei Li.
Xiao Yanchu is definitely still sending people to search for his whereabouts, so he doesn't dare to run around for the time being.
Wei Xuecheng's footsteps drew closer, and he called out, "Wanqing, I've come to see you."
Lin Wanqing looked at Fei Molong, who was half-lying on the bed, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
