The Empress’s rewards and decree were promptly dispatched, arriving at the Su House in Mingshui County and the imperial villa across the river coinciding with the Academy’s next holiday.

Su Ziqin and Su Zixuan accepted the Court’s rewards in place of their parents, and their humility and manners were once again praised by the Female Official who delivered the decree.

Meanwhile, in the Imperial Villa, lanterns were hung and banners were raised in a joyous celebration.

“Sect Leader, I won’t dare do it again next time!”

Ji Ziling gasped, taking the ancient book and ran off as if fleeing for her life.
