The elders in his family were too nervous about him.

Speaking of in-laws and older generations, it’s easier to get along with someone like Concubine Jing, who is relaxed and at ease.

Jiang Ning glanced at He Tang and found that he was still wearing that purse.

Anyway, it wasn’t a gift from her, so she didn’t feel awkward at all.

“Is there anything important for your visit today?” Jiang Ning asked, “My Third Brother went to the Imperial Academy early this morning. How come you have time to be here?”

“Oh, yes, I almost forgot. I just happened to be out for something, and your Third Brother asked me to come and see you on the way, to tell you that the matter of the Prince of Yu has made progress.”

“What progress?” Jiang Ning’s eyes followed Lingzi, who was running about, while her ears pricked up to listen to him.

He Tang said: “His Majesty has ordered Prince of Yu to kneel and worship the Ancestral Temple for three days without eating or drinking, and to copy filial piety scriptures for reflection and repentance.”

Jiang Ning said: “Hasn’t he been punished with kneeling before?”

“That time is completely different from this one. This time, the punishment of the Prince of Yu is in full view of everyone, with no eating, drinking, or sleeping for three days and nights, continuously copying scriptures.”

Jiang Ning frowned: “His Majesty has confined the Prince of Yu for three months and still wants to punish him with kneeling for three days without eating and drinking. Not eating is one thing, but who can bear not drinking water? Is he trying to kill his own son by torturing him?”

He Tang said: “The Prince of Yu has been disobedient and harmed the Crown Prince. Such punishment is already very light if not for the circumstances.”

“Is there any other news?”

“Other… Let your Third Brother tell you when he comes back. It’s not appropriate for me to say more.”

“Thank you for coming to tell me personally.”

“Ah Ning, don’t be so polite with me. Although… we have no fate in this life, I’ll treat you like my younger sister, and I’ll help and take care of you whenever you need anything.” He Tang said earnestly.

Jiang Ning laughed: “If you need any help from me, don’t be polite either.”

“Then, I’ll leave first.”

“Take care. Huang Ying, please have someone send off Mr. He.”

“No need, no need, I can find my way out.” He Tang smiled and said, “Ah Ning, have you forgotten? You’re the one who is directionally challenged, always forgetting your directions when going out, and it’s me who always guides you.”

Jiang Ning laughed: “Yes, you’ve always taken good care of me.”

He Tang’s face reddened slightly when their eyes met, and quickly looked away, saying “Take care” before hurrying off.

Although their statuses are now vastly different, they had been childhood sweethearts for over a decade and it wasn’t easy for him to forget about her.

After leaving the Prime Minister’s Mansion, he went to the bookstore to look for ancient books, finished his business, and returned home to see his mother sitting with a stranger. He couldn’t help but feel annoyed.

“Oh, our Literary Arts Star is back!” The woman stared at He Tang, sizing him up from head to toe, making him feel uncomfortable.

He Tang ignored her and walked away.

The woman’s face turned red with embarrassment.

Mother He quickly laughed it off: “Don’t mind him, he’s been in a bad mood lately because of his busy workload.”

“Yes, men’s matters outside the home are more important. Speaking of which, the Cui Family girl I recommended is a truly gentle and considerate person who can manage a household well and will never cause trouble for her husband.”

“Oh, I love such girls,” Mother He’s eyebrows raised in a smile, “Sister, you must help me make a good match. My son is already twenty, has established a career, and should settle down. I am eager to hold my grandchildren.”

“Don’t worry, sister, your matters are my matters, and I will make sure everything is arranged properly for you..”
