Si Ning had been trying to check the report Chen An left for him but he was unable to concentrate because he kept thinking about what Qiu Bai told him.
Thinking about Xiu Zicheng taking another wife and making her the Empress was also the reason Si Ning was unable to enjoy himself after he made up his mind to enjoy himself at the XiXi tavern when he made the hint of welcoming more company which made Qiu Bai called all the women that left them earlier to talk privately.
Seeing as how four of them quickly jumped to his side was all Si Ning wanted and he felt like it was heaven. Kissing a pretty girl next to him, his hands fondling her breasts making her moan but in the middle of making out Si Ning discovered he wasn't enjoying himself that he had to deepen the kiss trying to concentrate yet his mind kept drifting to what Qiu Bai told him.
