Xiao Chen slowly rose from the bed, reaching out to take the robe beside him. Putting it on, he said, “Jing Yue, you don’t have to force yourself if you don’t want to meet this father and son from the Jing family. You can just stay in the w.a.n.gfu.”
“Who said I don’t want to meet them?” Jing Yue rolled her eyes, throwing Xiao Chen a despising glance before she turned around, going out of the room to have Yin Qiao help her dress up. Having heard Yin Qiao say that there would be a polo match at the festival this day, she specifically let Yin Qiao comb her hair into a simple and efficient style.
By the time Jing Yue finished dressing herself up properly, Xiao Chen himself was also ready. He stared at Jing Yue, who looked particularly different that day, and frowned, saying, “There will still be a ceremony in the palace later, let Xing Er send you to the race course first. I’ll be there as soon as possible.”
“Alright, alright~!” Jing Yue cheerfully answered. After having breakfast together, they parted ways in front of the fu’s gate. Jing Yue pondered in the carriage before deciding to first look for ShangGuan LingLan and Ning XiangYuan. She told Xinger Er to make a detour, “Let’s go to the General’s Residence first.”
Jing Yue went toward the General’s Residence. When she finally arrived in front of the General’s Residence door, her eyes were filled with admiration as she raised her head to see the gate which manifested a dignified atmosphere. Take a look at those two ‘General’s Residence’ words, they were simply written in exquisite calligraphy!
Jing Yue clicked her tongue and sighed in admiration. Just by looking at this door, she could feel a threat of mighty and powerful strength.

“Who are you?” Just as Jing Yue was staring at the door, a silhouette suddenly came from the side. Her mind went blank for a moment before she finally turned her head around, looking at the man. Within a glance, she already noticed a tall, st.u.r.dy and stately man walking in large strides towards her. He was wearing a soft armor on his body.
“I……” Jing Yue was a bit dumbfounded. She stared up and down at this man before her eyes. He had a striking appearance and wore military armor. Basing from the sword strapped on his waist, his status ought to be very high. If Jing Yue’s a.n.a.lysis wasn’t wrong, this man ought to be ShangGuan LingLan’s older brother!
“I come for…” Jing Yue started to smile, wanting to explain herself.
“Jing Yue!!” Jing Yue hadn’t yet finished explaining when a surprised shout interrupted her. She turned her head around and saw ShangGuan LingLan fleeing at lightning speed and stopping before her. She didn’t say anything and directly pulled Jing Yue, wanting to get onto the carriage.
“Quick, quick, quick……! Let’s go quickly!” ShangGuan LingLan pushed Jing Yue onto the carriage.
“What happened?” Jing Yue frowned and asked. ShangGuan LingLan’s action had scared her.
“Third older brother, you better not go in… the Old man was lecturing fifth brother but then everyone got pulled in. Eldest brother, second brother and fourth brother are now being lectured together!” ShangGuan LingLan stared at the man who seemed formidable a moment ago and said, “Fortunately I escaped fast, otherwise, I reckon I won’t be able to sleep on the bed today!”
“What!? Fifth younger brother has angered father again?” The man suddenly had a frightened appearance. Under Jing Yue’s stunned gaze, he turned around and directly ran away without even looking back. The swiftness of his escape left Jing Yue dumbfounded.
General Shangguan was known for his great military achievements. And now, she hadn’t even met the person, yet she already had to run away!
ShangGuan LingLan was looking at that gate of General’s Residence with fright. She promptly urged, “Let’s go quickly!”
Jing Yue was silent for a moment. She faced ShangGuan LingLan whose face was still showing panic and a doubtful look, and said, “Your family…… Is every day like this?”
“Don’t talk about it……” ShangGuan LingLan’s face had the expression of someone wailing at a funeral. She said, “How do you think the martial art in this body developed? Everything was forced out!!!”
“Pu (pffft)…… Ke ke ke (cough)……” Jing Yue almost burst out laughing. She coughed several times before asking, “How many brothers do you have in your family?”
