Chapter 594: Chapter 596: First Confrontation with a Big Shot_1

"Oh," Qin Kun stroked his beard, looking at Nan Feng again, "Not bad, there’s something to be feared about the younger generation indeed!"

"Thank you, sir, for your praise," said Nan Feng.

Every person here was a bit wary, but this one young lady, Nan Feng, was bold and candid. Qin Kun assumed it was due to her inexperience, so he began to quiz her, "Who wrote ’Business Morality’?"

"A respected prime minister from the previous dynasty," Nan Feng replied.

"Have you read it thoroughly?" Qin Kun asked again.

"I have read through it, but the prime minister’s profound and complex writing is hard for me to fully understand. I believe it requires further study," Nan Feng answered modestly.

Qin Kun rubbed his beard, "Indeed, it requires diligent study. You sit down, continue working hard, and your future will be promising, haha."

Nan Feng sat down, wondering what this "promising future" could be.

After some thought, she guessed it must mean using her wealth to help him ascend to the throne.

Then Qin Kun randomly picked a few others to answer questions, and not long after, he got up, took his bird cage, and left.

He truly gave off the vibe of a retired official leisurely hanging around, taking his pet bird out for a stroll.

...

Song Xiaoyue was preparing for her wedding.

Many people didn’t understand why Song Xiaoyue was in such a hurry to get married. Coupled with her previous unauthorized trip to the Capital City, some people guessed that she must have a lover outside, perhaps planning to elope with him.

One day, Song Xiaoyue overheard two maidservants gossiping about her in the garden:

"Did you hear? Our young lady is in love with someone else and plans to go to the Capital City to be with him."

"Yes, I heard. Young Lady grew up in the Capital City and she and him are childhood friends. It’s said that she wants to go there to join him."

"Our Young Lady is indeed brave."

"Brave? She’s downright foolish, completely disregarding her own reputation."

"..."

Song Xiaoyue turned her back and began to cry.

Honestly, she didn’t care about her reputation at all, only feeling an intense affection for Ye Ge. Sometimes her affection had been dampened by his cold demeanor, but whenever she saw him, it flamed up again.

Despite this, she hadn’t received any attention from Ye Ge.

She felt indescribably heartbroken.

And then, she began to feel resentment towards Ye Ge.

Not long after turning away, Song Xiaoyue ran into Wu Yang. Seeing her red eyes, he casually asked, "Young Lady, what’s wrong?"

At first, Song Xiaoyue didn’t respond to Wu Yang, thinking that a martial artist like him wouldn’t understand the thoughts of a young girl. However, after pausing for a moment, she turned back and said to him, "Do you think I’m foolish too?"

Wu Yang seemed to guess something. In the recent days, many people had come to ask him about Song Xiaoyue, asking where he found her. Being a discreet person, he simply told them he met her on the road and she was alone at the time.

However, the rumors within the mansion became more outrageous, particularly as Lady Song was rushing to marry off Song Xiaoyue.

Wu Yang didn’t understand Lady Song’s intention. If she hadn’t rushed Song Xiaoyue’s marriage, outsiders might have just assumed Song Xiaoyue was merely being naughty running off. But now, rushing her into marriage gave outsiders a topic to gossip about.

At that time, Wu Yang didn’t know how to comfort Song Xiaoyue, and could only say, "Young Lady, whatever you do, you certainly have your own reasons."
