Finally escaping from the doting of his biological parents, Cui Yanjin was able to return to his residence and change his clothes before heading off to the Ministry of Works.
Once he put on his sixth-rank official robes and went to the Ministry, Liao Yuying said to Cui Yuanbin: "Our son is truly handsome."
Cui Yuanbin nodded, "Mm, handsome."
Liao Yuying added, "He looks great in those official robes."
Cui Yuanbin agreed, "Mm, they look great indeed."
Liao Yuying gave him a look, "You are nowhere near your son."
Cui Yuanbin didn't like the sound of that, "How am I lacking?"
"You've never dressed in official robes," Liao Yuying explained.
Cui Yuanbin stared at her, "Wasn't it because you feared the Imperial Court's reprisal against the Evil Ghost Sect that we had to stay hidden, and I refrained from becoming an official? Otherwise, when I first fell for you, I had every intention of earning an imperial decree for you."
