[Chapter 24]

The pair of master and servant rode in the carriage down Tianlong Street, crossing through the west market, before they came to Qinghe Lodge. Qinghe Lodge was an establishment where dignitaries and the affluent partied. Built in the northwest of the city, it drew spring water from Mount Xi. As the moon surfaced, the song sung by the leading lady of a play resounded through the air of the clear and deep night. It made for a charming atmosphere.

When You Miao entered with his invite, the young lords inside the courtyard were laughing boisterously, rowdy and joking around.

An announcement at the front gates sounded, “Presenting Young Master You—!”

And the entire yard fell silent.

You Miao walked in through the arched entrance and showed his face—it was still the same appearance, one of a glowing and happy youth. He cupped his hands and greeted the crowd, smiling.

“I’m back.”

And the yard erupted in resounding laughter. Li Yan snorted and spat his wine while Ping Xi slapped his own thigh and fell out of his chair. The other rich boys all had their own hilarious reactions as they pointed at You Miao and howled their mirth.

You Miao was also incredibly amused, shaking his head and looking as shameless and cheeky as he had in the past. Li Yan waved him over, but when You Miao did so, Li Yan gave him a kick.

“You bugger! Ha ha ha ha ha!” Li Yan was convulsing with mirth in his seat, and he pulled You Miao into his arms, rubbing and squishing him. “Why do you look like that?!”

When You Miao only responded with a sigh, Li Yan prompted, “Who hit you? Tell us. Gege will get back at them for you.”

The young lords were all smiling, but no one spoke and only watched You Miao.

You Miao shook his head with a wry smile. “Don’t worry about it.”

“Three shots as punishment, three shots!” Ping Xi placed the wine cup in front of You Miao.

“No complaints there,” You Miao said amicably.

You Miao picked up the wine cup and quickly threw back three shots, and the heated social scene returned to the feast. The party today was held in honor of You Miao’s return, so the conversation didn’t stray from him very much. First, they asked after his estate in Jiangnan, then they asked about You Miao’s Jieyuan title. You Miao told them sheepishly that the title was one his dad had bought. The crowd didn’t look surprised at all.

Li Yan asked, “Got a teacher?”

“Yeah.” You Miao didn’t dare play the fool in this matter, since the truth would’ve come out sooner or later. He replied honestly, “His name is Sun Yu.”

Li Yan looked thoughtful, and someone else asked, “The Political Advisor?”

You Miao replied laughingly, “Let’s not talk about it! That old fart isn’t nice at all. He had me kneel in punishment and whips me, boohoo—!”

Li Yan draped his arm over You Miao’s shoulders and teased, “Come, you’re in the capital now. Your brothers have got your
