"Yes, Qian Fa was actually a very ambitious man. He hoped that his descendants would stand out and be successful. Every time the selection for the Independent State came around, he used his connections to sign up his sons, until the previous year's selection, when his last grandson was also sent to the Independent State..."
Reaching this point, Qian Gui sighed softly...
"Who would have thought it would be the selection for the Independent State that would lead to the ruin of his household!"
After hearing Qian Gui's words, everyone fell silent, even Wen Xin didn't know what to say. She hadn't expected that by simply telling the truth, she would hurt an old man with ambition.
While everyone was silent, an elder stood up from his place and walked over to Wen Xin. Without waiting for Wen Xin's permission, he placed his finger on her wrist.
Qian Meng and Mu Chengxi both wanted to intervene, but Wen Xin stayed seated, motionless, waiting for the old man to take her pulse.
