C177 (1/2)

Returning empty-handed once again, Hanxi walked on the busy streets of the capital alone. The streets were suffused with the fragrance of wormwood, and the young boys, girls and children were all wearing beautiful scented bags.

After the family case had caused a stir for a while, it soon disappeared.

It was as if in this place, there was no need to feel any emotions, be it happiness or sadness, because in just a few days, they would be replaced by other things. Even the Imperial Court did not want the people to be forever preoccupied with something.

Therefore, as Hanxi walked on the streets, there was no need to worry about losing face or being unable to lift her head. In the vast capital, only a few people knew her. Even if they were to wander among the young miss of an aristocratic family, they would still behave themselves and not humiliate them. Naturally, the current Bi Hanxi no longer had the qualifications to sit on equal footing with them.

When he returned to the Prime Minister's Estate, he actually shouldn't be calling her Prime Minister's Estate anymore. The emperor had remembered his grandmother's age, and his father had done meritorious deeds within the imperial government, thus he didn't take back this mansion. However, he heard the whispers of the servants at home, as if he couldn't stay here any longer.

Since the first time Big Brother brought Brother Xingye back, this entire house had never been better. She did not blame Brother Xingye for this, as she knew that this was something that his mother had done for himself.

”Bastard.” Suddenly, a berating voice came over. Hanxi trembled for a moment, and looked towards the direction of the voice, only to see her father and brother standing halfway there and talking.

Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi scolded her son angrily: ”You are the only hope of this family. Do you want to watch your grandmother get displaced and beg in the streets?”

Bi Zhenye asked his father, with the connections and wealth that he built up through dozens of years of immersion in the government, was his family really that destitute?

The Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi did not say a word and left angrily.

Bi Zhenye turned around, saw his sister, then went forward and asked: ”You went to see your mother again?”
