Bai Que was shocked.
"Otherwise, how would he have paintings by the Hermit of Cold Mountain? Upon learning that I like them, he offered to give me a few. These scholar-officials pride themselves on their integrity yet also fancy themselves as romantic, relying on righteousness but often acting like butchers. They forget favors and are mostly bookworms. How many of them are genuinely good?" Mrs. Han said with a sigh.
People like Yun Qi are truly dime a dozen.
Self-righteous and cowardly, full of themselves yet disregarding others.
A man who can even neglect his own legitimate daughter, what kind of real man is he?
Bai Que fell silent.
Mrs. Han took Bai Que to the largest jewelry shop in the Capital City and bought two sets of gemstone headwear.
"Is the madam getting these for Miss Ruan's dowry?"
"With Jinnian not around, I can only make this trip myself. I wonder how they are doing now?"
"They will be safe on their journey!"
Mrs. Han nodded, "I hope so!"
