When Liu Chengzhi heard that the emperor had cancelled the draft, he felt suddenly disappointed.

After a lot of thoughts, he made up his mind, and shamelessly stepped forward to bow, smiling and flattering, "Congratulations to Lord Ning on your promotion."

The Ning family looked at him with contempt and disdain.

Ning Qingfeng asked, "Why haven't you left yet?"

"I will report you to the emperor tomorrow!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Chengzhi immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, "Lord Ning Hou, please forgive my mistakes. I spoke wildly before, so please show mercy."

Ning Qingfeng is now the Minister of War, a first-rank official, much higher than Liu Chengzhi's fourth-rank position as Shaoqing of the Ministry of Agriculture.

A higher-ranking official can crush a person to death. Even if he is not Liu Chengzhi's direct superior, he can still make him extremely afraid.

"Get out! Get out now! If I see you again, I will stab you to death with my sword." Ning Qingfeng kicked him away.

Liu Chengzhi was kicked back several meters, spitting blood. Seeing this, the Liu family immediately carried him away from Ning Mansion.

Ning Qingfeng felt relieved after letting out his anger. He laughed heartily, "Madam, let's have a banquet tonight to celebrate. My children and I are going to have a few drinks."

"Okay, we will celebrate tonight." Pei also had a happy look on her face and immediately ordered the housekeeper and servants to make arrangements.

When the sisters-in-law heard that their father-in-law had his title restored and the fourth young master had been promoted to the rank of fourth official, they were all delighted and were glad that they had not followed the short-sighted woman's example and complained and made trouble.

They were busy getting dressed and washing, waiting for their husbands to come back so they could celebrate properly.

However, after Ning Yuanbo was overjoyed, he suddenly felt that his previous ambitions seemed to be meaningless. His father and brothers were already high-ranking officials, and he didn't need another to bring honor to the family. He felt a little empty in his heart.

Ning Luo saw through his thoughts and tried to prevent him from becoming depressed and becoming a useless person.

He advised: "If Fifth Brother wins the first place in the imperial examination next year, our family will be rich and noble, and we will be able to bring honor to our family in the future. By then, I can watch you riding a horse and parading in the streets."

"By then, all the rich girls in Kyoto will envy me and compete to marry you. I guess Liu Yingying will regret it to death."

As soon as Ning Luo said this, Ning Yuanbo thought of the scene of wearing the top scholar's robe, riding a horse through Chang'an Street, with countless noble ladies flirting with him. His blood instantly boiled and he was full of fighting spirit.

He once again made a bold statement, "Luo'er, just wait for me to pass the imperial examination and bring honor to our family."

After saying that, he strode back to his study to study hard.

Ning Luo returned to her courtyard with a smile, and several maids came up to greet her happily, "Congratulations, Miss."

"Now you understand the meaning of 'prosperity together, prosperity together, and adversity together, adversity together', right?" Ning Luo pointed at them.

"We know. We are all the master's people and will always be loyal to him." The maids said in unison.

Guizhi was even more excited. As soon as she followed Ning Luo into the inner room, she couldn't wait to say, "Miss, the Regent is really good. He keeps his word. As soon as he was promoted, he helped our Marquis' Mansion. He is really a good person. If..."

I thought that if the young lady married the Regent, they would be a perfect match, with their talent and beauty.

But in the end I didn't dare say it out loud.

Ning Luo glanced at her calmly and said, "Don't think too much. Maybe the court needs talents and restored my father's title. Officials like my father and brother who are upright and honest should be reused, which will benefit the country and the people."

Guizhi immediately responded, "Yes, our master and young master should have been promoted long ago."

Ning Luo picked up a pen and wrote a letter, assigning her a task, "Go to Pei's house now and bring a letter to Miss Pei. Also, tell her the good news here."

"Yes." Guizhi put away the letter and went out immediately.

This time she was going to Pei Mansion, so naturally she didn't need to dress in men's clothes.

She walked out of the house with a happy look on her face and almost bumped into a man. He looked familiar, but she couldn't remember who he was. Thinking about delivering a letter, she turned around and avoided him, and hurriedly walked towards East Street, where the Pei Mansion was located.

Unexpectedly, someone followed me.

It was the man she had just met.

He is another guard beside Li Xuan.
