The news about Qi Xiuying being Ying Yue's musician spreads out in the capital right after the banquet that even those in the streets can almost re-tell what happened during their performance. Even though she is now known as one of the ladies that excels in arts, Xiuying still play songs in Ying Yue though it was reduced to once a week and can be seen talking with the children and elders passing by their residence and establishments earning more admirers. However there was no line of proposals in their residence as along with the news of her being an expert musician, the news of her being pursue by Jun Wang spreads out thus scaring the families who wants Xiuying to be married to their sons. No one wants to provoke the war lord of Great Yan.

"Ying'er why don't you rest for a bit you have been helping out in our family businesses aside from managing Ying Yue..." Xi Hui nags the subject of the news seeing her daughter yawning while reading the account books of Ying Yue.

"Mother don't worry too much about me I can still manage besides after this we can have a month to travel to the countryside..." Xiuying smiles at her mother before going back to reading and writing some notes for Manager Ba.

"Fine I'm going back now to rest. Xue'er, Xiao Hua don't let your young miss to stay up too late. Make sure she will rest after an hour." Xi Hui strictly gave her instructions to the two before leaving Xiuying's courtyard.

Meanwhile in Long Fu, Guanting is outside his grandfather's study. Housekeeper Ji looks at the eldest young master of Long Fu waiting for the latter to speak up, he heard about the news of this man's former fiance and can't help but compare to the woman his master's grandson married. Qi Fan although was known as virtuous and talented lady before she was married, after spending almost a year in Long Fu Housekeeper Ji can see through her facade. For him Long Guanting still needs to be trained by his master as this eldest young master simply don't have skills to see through ones intentions and character making him to be one that is easily influenced by others.

Not hearing any words from this loyal servant of his grandfather, Long Guanting opens his mouth to speak but immediately closed it realizing that he doesn't know how to start asking his grandfather about Xiuying.

"Ji let him in..." a stern voice is heard by the two waking up the two from their own thoughts. Housekeeper Ji immediately step aside and opens the door for Guanting. Guanting hesitated to step forward at first but what he was feeling since the banquet the other day pushed him to decide to step inside the study.

"Sit down." Patriach Long didn't look up and continued on reading the reports when he ordered Guanting. He knows his grandson will look for him after what happened in the banquet. Patriach Long finally raised his head and look at Guanting after not hearing anything from him.

"I'm surprise you didn't look for me right after the banquet..." Patriach Long started he knows why this grandson of his had to wait for another day before speaking to him.

"Grandfather have you long known... who she is? Is that why you... you said I should give up?" Guanting asked hesitantly, not looking at his grandfather. He feels ashamed for what he has done. He almost killed her... if only I can turn back the time. To be honest he wants to go near her after hearing her name. She... who is far from what the rumored lady he knew.

"Do you remember when I got back from Xiangli? I told you I almost passed out due to hunger when I reach the city gates..."

"Yes you said you meet a young miss eating cakes and she gave you few of them even chatted with you..."

"Yes... yes that's the day I met Xiuying. I noticed after awhile that her carriage has the insigna of that old man Xi and realize she is your fiance. Only to hear upon reaching my home that you almost succeeded killing such wonderful lady."

"I... grandfather..." Hearing the story, Guanting look at his grandfather but can't find the right words to say.

"I am not disappointed at you as a person but your actions let me down Ting'er." Patriach Long stared straight to his grandson's eyes.

Feeling more of his guilt Guanting look down again. "You have the capability but you became muddlehead once your heart was caught by your now wife. The future patriach of my fu shouldn't be someone to decide solely based on feelings that is simply being blind Guanting. Let this be a lesson for you..."

"Grandfather is it possible..."

"I've said it before and I'll say it once more... The road you took grandson is a road without any way of going back. Do not covet someone who you almost destroyed. You can leave."

Guanting didn't know how he returned to his courtyard that afternoon. However as soon as he arrived he was awaken from his thoughts by a maidservant from Qi Fan's courtyard who hurriedly informed him that his wife fainted.
