"No, that’s a Yamen carriage, borrowed by Yege," said Nan Feng. She did not feel ashamed about using borrowed belongings as they were meant for public use.

"Oh, I thought Yege had bought it. After all, the Yamen’s salary is not much," Mo Wenxuan finished speaking and looked at Nan Feng, "You bought that large mansion a while ago, didn’t you? Why haven’t you invited me over? After all, we are from the same hometown."

"I’ve been quite busy lately...with it being year-end. Well, I’ll also be busy after the New Year. We’ll see," Nan Feng answered dismissively.

Mo Wenxuan then added, "I also plan to buy a large mansion, but my aspirations are not limited to the county town. I’ll see how far I can go. If I achieve success, I’ll buy one in the Capital City. If not, I’ll buy one in the Provincial City."

"Hmm, both are good options," said Nan Feng.

At this time, Yege had already arranged for the carriage and the coal stove, and came striding towards Nan Feng. She walked towards him happily.

"Fengfeng, it’s time to go in now," Yege looked at Nan Feng’s flushed face from the cold, could not resist fixing the fluffy fur on her cloak, "Let’s go, your face is all red."

Strangely enough, Yege did not greet Mo Wenxuan.

They say women have a perceptive eye, knowing who the two-faced hypocrites are with just a glance.

The same is true for men. Yege knew who had evil intentions and sinister motives at a glance.

...

The attendance at this New Year’s Eve banquet was noticeably larger. During Lady Song’s last birthday banquet, everyone sat at small tables. But this evening, the Magistrate of Song had arranged more than ten large tables in the Banquet Hall.

The seating at such banquets was usually arranged according to rank. For instance, guards sat together, bailiffs with bailiffs, and clerks together.

As soon as Yege entered hand-in-hand with Nan Feng, Wu Yang noticed them and quickly invited them over to take the seats he had reserved for them.

On the other hand, Song Xiaoyue saw Yege’s arrival, she wanted to greet him but hesitated.

Lady Song invited Master Liu’s young son to the banquet this evening. They had met a couple of days ago as part of an arranged meeting. Now, Lady Song invited him again to build a bond.

Master Liu’s young son was enamored with Song Xiaoyue. He thought she was more beautiful than most of the ladies in the county. Coupled with the fact that she was the daughter of the County Magistrate, he immediately expressed his desire to marry her.

As for Song Xiaoyue, feeling despondent after being rejected by Yege and after hearing Lady Song’s lecture, agreed nonchalantly to the proposal when he expressed his desire to marry her.

Her mother was right. At least, as a wife, she would have some status and her husband would have to respect her, as would her in-laws. But if she were to marry Yege, she would be left alone and desolate.

Her mother also mentioned that before marriage, a woman wants to marry the one she loves, but after marriage, she will want to be married to the one who loves her. After all, food, oil, and child-bearing constitute the true essence of life.

Though Song Xiaoyue thought her feelings had settled, she felt a pang of pain in her heart when she saw Yege holding Nan Feng’s hand as they entered, laughing and smiling, radiating love.

Everyone at Yege’s table was his subordinate. But Yege had never put on airs, so everyone felt at ease. Nan Feng took her seat in a confident manner, saying hello to the others at the table. Seeing fresh oranges on the table, she even picked one up and started peeling it.
