"Perfect timing! I was thinking of getting some new clothes made. How about you come with me?"
At Zhou Wanting's warm invitation, Wan Qiqi boarded Zhou Wanting's carriage.
Wan Qiqi said apologetically, "Sister Wanting, I'm so sorry, I was really busy the past few days and I couldn't attend Sister Wanxiang's wedding!"
"It's alright, as long as your intention is there!" Zhou Wanting smiled, but her eyes flickered twice.
She smiled faintly, "It's quite good as it is now. Lord Xie has been promoted, and my status has also risen. I won't be looked down upon by anyone!"
Wan Qiqi didn't think Zhou Wanting was particularly happy, but she still replied, "Yes! Congratulations, Master Xie!"
"Qiqi, you're joking again! Didn't your husband also get promoted to county magistrate?" Zhou Wanting shook her head with a smile.
She said gently, "With Lord Xie as the county magistrate and Lord Chen as the county lieutenant, Yunhe County should be even better off in the future!"

“That’s true, but how many people study hard their whole lives and still fail to get an official position?” Zhou Wanting held Wan Qiqi’s hand and said earnestly, “Although Lord Chen did not take the imperial examinations or the martial arts examinations, he clearly earned his position through meritorious service. He has a bright future ahead of him!”
"Sister Wanting, why are you starting to make empty promises to me?" Wan Qiqi blinked, looking completely innocent.
Zhou Wanting was taken aback, smiled helplessly, and stopped talking about it.
