With nothing left to do at the bottom of the cliff, a few of them returned to the Zhang Family. The Zhang Family not only granted them great freedom but also embodied respect in every way.
As night deepened, Liang Family Head and his wife had arranged for someone to wait outside the small hill. Upon seeing their figures, the messenger immediately reported back, and only then did the couple appear. Noticing that Sang Qingxiao and his group showed no signs of fatigue, they tentatively invited them to sit for a while.
Arriving at someone else's home without first paying respects to the host would be quite rude. Although Li Cu had mentioned beforehand that women from the martial world were carefree and wouldn’t mind, it was still necessary to exchange a few pleasantries to show respect.
Sang Qingxiao sincerely apologized and expressed gratitude, leading to a polite exchange between both parties. Liang Shangshan invited them to a refined pavilion, which was open on all sides and surrounded by a small stream. Delicate lanterns hung in an artful arrangement throughout the space.
This place was indeed perfect for conversation and enjoying the scenery. Sang Qingxiao praised its charm. Lady Liang happily remarked that her rough husband often complained about her fanciful decorations.
However, this wasn’t mere fancifulness; most women from the capital’s noble families lacked such creativity. Before I married, I traveled extensively with my family for business. This kind of arrangement isn’t particularly extraordinary; it’s just that I have a broader perspective and have seen more things, haphazardly blending them together. There are bound to be elements others haven’t encountered before, which may seem interesting simply because they are novel.
It is rare for a lady to possess such insight. Where else could you find so many knowledgeable individuals?
Lady Liang tried to lighten the atmosphere, while Liang Shangshan appeared somewhat burdened. Their cooperation was surprisingly harmonious.
Liang Shangshan poured wine for Qi Xiaomian, who covered the cup with his hand and said it was late and that they should skip the wine. Liang Family Head sighed a few times in front of me, suggesting that if there was anything to say, he should just say it directly.
Was there any news about changes at the banquet?
Qi Xiaomian genuinely didn’t know. He had been staying at Qi Family's guesthouse and hadn’t seen Qi Hao in days. Liang Family Head didn’t need to probe so much; if there were any changes, it wouldn’t concern him, nor would he think to inform him.
Liang Shangshan frowned and suggested it would be better to inquire further. Surely Liang Family Head had some informants within Qi Family?
Liang Shangshan chuckled awkwardly, saying, “Well, how should I respond to that?”
It's just eyeliner, and we both know it well. Why should the Liang Family Head hide anything? If you want to inquire about the situation, you can do it yourself. If I manage to find out something, I will surely pass it on to you.
Sigh, within New State City, the Qi Family's guards are everywhere, all operating under the guise of protecting New State. They are expanding little by little, with their presence felt both in the light and in the shadows. These days, the Qi Family's defenses have become increasingly strict, and I haven't dared to investigate further.
Surely the Liang Family has its own guards as well?
Yes, but the Liang Family only cares about its own territory and never interferes in others' affairs. Within New State City, they have only set up a few hidden sentries to keep an eye on movements around them, unlike the Qi Family, which has become brazen enough to operate openly.
Qi Xiaomian remained silent as Liang Shangshan continued, "If things were still as usual, that would be one thing."
At a birthday banquet, the number of Qi Family guards in the city has almost multiplied several times in plain sight.
This morning, all the noble families in the city received a new announcement from the Qi Family stating that Chen Yan's birth had been moved up. Isn't that ridiculous? They had already set a date for his birthday; how could it possibly be changed at any time?!
Is this really how he wants to celebrate his birthday? It's as if he's blatantly telling everyone that he has ulterior motives—significant ones at that—setting a trap for us that we have no choice but to fall into.
