Not The Same Type of Person

For the rest of the time before the New Year, their life in the Imperial City was very peaceful. They didn't encounter any conflict or trouble.

Zhao Chuchu rarely went out. When she did, it was only to buy groceries.

She would usually buy several days' worth of groceries and store them in her carry-on space.

There was no one else at their place anyway. The royal palace had not sent anyone to surveil Xie Jun, and Xie Jun didn't usually care about what happened in the kitchen. So she could save a lot of trouble that way.

They have only met Xie Yan and Qiao Heting once since arriving at the Imperial City.

Qiao Heting knew very well what the Imperial City was like, so he never visited Xie Heng.

Xie Heng didn't socialize with the other scholars who went to the Imperial City for the examination either.
