Since Xie Liang was able to feel sensation in his legs again, his confidence has grown stronger, and he has been diligently working on his rehabilitation every day.

However, due to years of leg problems, even with daily massages, the muscles have atrophied, and standing up again will not be a matter of a short time.

Xie Liang's condition wasn't urgent, so Azhen decided to treat him slowly. Anyway, with her there, he would definitely be able to stand up again.

The imperial physician's diagnosis was over, which was, of course, good news.

Mr. and Mrs. Xie were very happy to hear that things were getting better day by day.

However, Xie Liang quickly thought of his sister's health condition. Unfortunately, there was no prescription in the ancient remedies passed down in Ao Kingdom to help his sister regulate her body.

He secretly asked the imperial physician, who said that although his sister's condition had not worsened, it had not improved either, and he was very worried, but he had no solution.

The various sculptures of Grey King, the mascot of the Kingdom of Ao, were put out for sale and were indeed very popular. These sculptures ranged from expensive to very cheap, making them affordable for almost everyone.

Sheno bought the most exquisite pieces and placed them in her room.

Aside from studying at the Imperial Academy, she usually spent her days going out with Ji Churong.

Originally, Yun Qinglan, who was afraid of being exposed and stayed at home, couldn't just stand by and watch Xie Nuo and Ji Churong go together every time.

At that moment, Xie Nuo didn't think too much about it. For her, it was just about having fun, going out to see all sorts of things, and having two good-looking boys by her side. She even found it pleasing to the eye.

The three sisters each have their own activities in their spare time.

Given their status, they are always flattered wherever they go, and they hardly ever have any troubles.

Sheno liked to wander around and see strange things.

Xie Ping prefers refined pursuits, and her favorite place lately is Wen Ao Pavilion for reading.

As for Xie Kui, she would either go to the training ground to crack her whip, study the military strategies that Azhen had given her, or go hunting with a few close friends. When she caught any prey, she would excitedly send it to Azhen in the palace.

Recently, everyone's attention has been focused on the underground palace of the Ao Kingdom and the plagiarism of the Zhou family ancestors, and everyone has forgotten about other things.

As things gradually calmed down, people realized that all parties had secretly begun to act again.

The Zhou family remained quiet. After all, such a shameful incident had just occurred, and they didn't want to appear in public for several months. It was better to keep a low profile.

Even so, Zhou is still frequently mentioned, and people with differing opinions still argue about Zhou Wenling, sometimes even to the point of breaking off their friendship.

On his day off, Xie Nuo slept in.

She was told by her maid that Xie Kui was waiting for her outside when she got up.

When she has nothing to do, she likes to sleep in. Maybe she was a poor working person in her past life who had to get up early every day to catch the subway. She especially likes this state of sleeping until she naturally wakes up when she has nothing to do.

The whole family knows about this, and unless it's something serious, they would never bother her.

Xie Nuo tidied himself up a bit and went to see Xie Kui while yawning.

"Second sister, I heard you've been waiting for me for a long time. What's wrong? If you're in a hurry, just have someone wake me up."

"It's nothing urgent," Xie Kui said, the silver dragon whip still tucked into her waistband. Judging from her military attire, she was probably going hunting. Xie Nuo was a little puzzled, glancing outside. The sun was already high in the sky. On her usual days off, her second sister would go out to play before dawn, and she was clearly planning to go out today as well. Why was she here?

Second sister shouldn't have any worries, right?
Xie Kui waved to Xie Nuo, and the two moved closer before she heard Xie Nuo say, "Haven't you noticed that my older sister has been acting a little strange lately?"

Xie Nuo was taken aback; she really hadn't noticed.

The Imperial Academy usually has a five-day work week with two days off, which she is quite satisfied with, as it perfectly matches the study rhythm of her previous life.

During holidays, everyone is busy with their own things. Recently, she made a new friend and is getting along very well with her, so she hasn't paid attention to what her friends are up to.

"What's wrong with my older sister?" Xie Nuo asked in a low voice.

“On her recent days off, my eldest sister only goes to Wen’ao Pavilion. She even leaves the flowers and plants that she loves to tend to to her people. This is not right. She loves those flowers and plants the most, especially those orchids, which she takes care of herself.”

"But for the past month, every day off she's had, she's gotten up very early, done nothing, and gone straight to Wen'ao Pavilion." Xie Kui looked puzzled. "Do you think that's normal? Even if the books in Wen'ao Pavilion are very attractive to her, it shouldn't make her forget about the flowers and plants, right?"

"Not only that, I also noticed that she would sometimes space out and giggle, which was very strange."

Hearing this, Xie Nuo suddenly realized that her older sister must have someone she liked.

"Second sister, are you going hunting again today?"

“It’s already this late, and I’m not going? I’ve already told everyone else that I’ll stand them up today and go tomorrow. There’s still one day left, isn’t there? I came to find you because I wanted to find out what’s going on with my older sister. You’re always so full of tricks,” Xie Kui said.

"Alright, if we want to know what happened to our eldest sister, why don't we go to Wen'ao Pavilion and find out?"

Xie Kui smiled and said, "That's exactly what I meant."

The eldest sister always goes to Wen'ao Pavilion; the secret must be hidden there.

“This man named Chen Fangjin is indeed exceptionally talented. He became a child prodigy at ten, a county-level scholar at thirteen, and a provincial-level scholar at sixteen, always ranking first. He came to the capital early this time to adapt to the environment and await the spring imperial examination,” Yuan Qi said. “He is from Qingzhou, and his family is quite well-off, with generations of scholars. In addition, besides him, there were two other provincial-level scholars in his ancestors.”

"The Chen family has a good family tradition. They strongly condemn going out to drink and carouse, and have a rule that unless a man is forty years old and still childless, he is not allowed to take a concubine. Even in such cases, his wife must not be mistreated. The Chen family also values ​​their daughters who marry out; they are not like typical pedantic scholar families. They once took in a daughter whose husband's family was not doing well." As Yuan Qi said this, a hint of admiration appeared in his eyes, showing that this family was very open-minded.

"Chen Fangjin has been too dazzling along the way. Countless people in the area want to marry him. If it weren't for his great reputation and wealthy family background, some people would probably try to force or entice him to marry him. Since he came to the capital, those who are well-informed have arranged for people to contact him. Even the Prime Minister wanted to take him as a student and marry his youngest daughter to him. However, he refused."

Yuan Qi observed Azhen's expression and continued, "He recently met Princess Ping at Wen'ao Pavilion. He didn't do anything out of line and was very polite. The two of them mostly discussed the books in Wen'ao Pavilion. But it's clear that they have feelings for each other."

His Majesty had been arranging for people to protect the princesses, but just ten days ago, he suddenly mentioned Princess Ping and asked if anyone had appeared by her side.

She arranged for someone to investigate and learned everything about Chen Fangjin. Moreover, Princess Ping also liked him, and the two seemed to be a good match.

“Arrange for another person,” A-Zhen said, “to protect Chen Fangjin.”

Yuan Qi was startled and somewhat puzzled, but she agreed to the order first.

If nothing unexpected happens, A-Zhen believes that Xie Ping and Chen Fangjin should be able to get together, as they seem to be a good match.

Having inherited the client's memories, she sensed something amiss when she witnessed Xie Ping and Chen Fangjin's affair. Coupled with Xie Ping's subsequent unhappiness, she became even more convinced that someone had set her up. (End of Chapter)
