"Why isn't Little Lin here?"
On this day, Zhong Wen was drinking with Zhangsun Wuwei and others when he noticed that Lin Chaoge, who was usually very active at the drinking table, was conspicuously absent.
"These days, Little Lin is dealing with a lot of family troubles; he has no time for leisure," Shu Yun sighed.
"What happened?" Zhong Wen asked, puzzled.
"Forget it. Brother Zhong here is always with the princess in the mansion, probably not very interested in the affairs of the capital," Zhangsun Wuwei said with a mischievous smile.
Zhong Wen smirked. After some persistent efforts, he had finally succeeded in "practicing" in Lady Shangguan Junyi's room last night, so Zhangsun Wuwei's words weren't entirely wrong.
"The situation at the border isn't favorable. Lin, the Minister, is facing accusations daily. At this rate, he may lose his official position," Zeng Xiaoxian said, looking concerned.
