"What's wrong with that one? It's not often I see you show such dislike for someone . " Shen Tianyu asked as her eyes swung briefly to his face before staring back at the lights of the gla.s.s lamp . 'Though we haven't known each other for long,' she doesn't add .

"She's a pain . " He spat before he continued to introduce the person anyways . Because his wife was more important than his hatred for that person . He took in a breathe and tried to talk about her in the most factual tone he could . "A Junzhu from Zhandi called Zheng Xiu . Arrogant and likes to boss around those with a lower social status than her . Deadset on marrying one of us, my brothers and I . "

"Well, she's not a complete fool at least . Zhandi is a complete mess right now, so even if it's in a harem, she'd have a better life in Rikui than Zhandi . " Despite her companion's curt introduction, this was the one she decided to comment on .

"She doesn't understand her own position . Even if she's royalty now, Zhandi is a mess and might even become a subordinate state to another country, yet she orders people from our country, the second most powerful one, like she owns the d.a.m.n place . Her cultivation isn't even that high, just enough to pa.s.s the exam . Who does she think she is? There are even common children with a higher talent in cultivation . " Rong Jian ground his teeth as he complained .

Shen Tianyu just laughed at seeing his reaction . "Alright, alright, let's not talk about her . Rather, I'm more interested in the sibling pair you first mentioned . Lun Chang and Lun Aoman was it?"

"What about them?" Rong Jian visibly brightened up at not having to talk about someone he hated . Not to mention the new subjects were people that he had a somewhat high opinion about .

"You said the brother was arrogant, how bad is he?"

"Well . . . he's certainly not as bad as that other woman . He more or less flaunts his status as the son of a rich merchant but he tries to not offend big name figures like other royalties and n.o.bility . "

"I see . . . I understand now . " She covered her mouth with her hand, stifling a yawn . "It seems it's quite late already, let's go to sleep . You go back to your courtyard . "

"I can't sleep here?" Rong Jian asked with sad eyes .

"No . Your residence is so big, why would you need to sleep here? Hurry up and go already . " Shen Tianyu replied as she got up from her seat and headed towards the gla.s.s lamp .

"Alright, I'll go back . . . after I help you clean up . " He also got up from his seat and followed her .

"No need to help me here, I can handle this just fine . You only need to bring the tray of tea back to where it belongs . " She answered as she lifted the lid with her hands .

"Okay . . . " He replied in a dejected voice as he put their cups and the teapot back onto the tray . Then, he lifted it up and walked outside . "Goodnight, Wifey . Sweet dreams . "

"Mm . You too . " She answered as she tucked the night pearl back into her Cos...o...b..g and went behind the screen to change . The door closed with a wooden clack as she took off her casual robe and wore the night clothes the maids had already prepared for her and collapsed onto the bed .

The day of the entrance exam for the Chengyuan school quickly arrived . Before the gates were a continuous flock of carriages decorated in various designs . Some were completely plain, signifying they did not belong to one of the students but were perhaps driven by people trying to do some business . In addition, many were standing in front of the gates, creating a large crowd . They were there to send their relatives off to the entrance exam and to give them some last encouraging words . One carriage in particular caught the eyes of the crowd, who began gossiping, raising the noise volume higher and irritating the guards at the door even more . They looked over to see who was making such a scene when they caught sight of the dragon painted on the carriage . A seven-clawed dragon signifies the Emperor, a six-clawed dragon signifies the crown Prince, and a five-clawed dragon represented a Qinw.a.n.gye . And in this country, there are only three with the t.i.tle of Qinw.a.n.gye . The irritation immediately disappeared from the guards' faces and they even stood up straighter .
