Qi Xiaomian immediately yawned several times; after the long journey, he was tired and on the verge of falling asleep. When leaving, he didn't forget to drag along Huo Qi and Silly Beast, ignoring their objections. Two grown men staying at a girl's house—what kind of situation was that?
In the following days, the Court was indeed in an uproar over this matter. The noise was loud but the impact was minimal. At first, Qi Xiaomian cooperated out of courtesy, but when he grew impatient with the commotion, he seized the opportunity to let others bring up evidence against the Right Deputy Censor. This not only shifted everyone's attention but also allowed him to settle personal scores.
The Right Deputy Censor was apprehended during a session at his office and was interrogated in The Office of Censors. On the day of his confession, he couldn't hold out and died just like that. With his death came a flurry of rumors; everyone could see that Qi Xiaomian was about to rise in rank soon. Various parties spread rumors that were annoying yet not overly offensive.
Qi Xiaomian paid no mind to this irritating buzz. Huo Qi entered Jingjing City as if he were a fish in water. This was thanks to his past experiences in court and the recent controversies that had summoned him back to the palace. After a fierce debate with various scholars, he managed to win over several officials from the Court.
Moreover, his identity as Yongxin Marquis provided significant assistance. When he went out to socialize, he sometimes carried two treasures—one in each arm—boasting endlessly about them. Silly Beast naturally felt jealous; the sourness of his mood filled the entire Small Tavern.
Huo Qi knew how to stroke Silly Beast's ego, calling him "brother" with every breath. While working in Small Tavern, Silly Beast was full of energy, constantly muttering about how he had grown up and become a big brother who needed to earn money to support his younger brother, master, and little treasure.
Once Qi Xiaomian finished dealing with all matters related to the Qi Family, Sang Qingxiao handed him a list with a smile. Qi Xiaomian read it seriously from start to finish, taking an entire tea session to do so. He nearly thought his eyes were deceiving him and confirmed it once more before asking, "Are you sure their expenses have been this high these days?"
Sang Qingxiao nodded. "Yes, I didn’t make any mistakes. I even gave you an 20% discount based on auction prices."
"I didn’t include Yin Can’s expenses in your account. Although you want to train him as your companion sword, the contract on him is mine and I oversee him; thus, his expenses are on my tab."
"During these days, whenever your father, brother, or Xiao Ye received goods at Small Tavern from the demon clan, they would first sort through those items and keep what they found appealing. Your father said all of it would be recorded under your name. I know the amount is large, so I didn’t bother you while you were busy; now that you have some free time to sort things out, let’s clear it today."
With such troublemakers at home who occasionally surprised him with big surprises, Qi Xiaomian felt a headache coming on. After hearing this, he carefully examined the bill again. He recognized each name of the demon clan items listed but couldn’t identify what they were collectively. Judging by their prices, they must have been rare items; well, if they bought them then so be it—at crucial moments, they might come in handy after all.
Having spent this money, yet not even catching a glimpse of the items, I must teach those extravagant ones at home a lesson. I will also make sure to inspect everything that has been bought, create a record, and keep it safe. They cannot be allowed to waste things carelessly again.
However, putting other matters aside, why does this last page list Golden Basin, Silver Basin, Ceramic Bowl, Jade Basin, and Agarwood Basin? Who needs dozens of basins for what purpose?
