She Became A Downfall Noble Lady

Jinrong lifted his eyes, his face beaming as if bathed in the spring sun. He smiled, lifted his cup of wine, and towards Guan He, he raised it, saying, "Brother Guan is a lucky man, carefree for so many years. In the end, not only can he settle down here and continue his carefree life, but also do so with such peace and stability, truly making us all envious."

Guan He responded by lifting his cup, sneering, "Saying one thing and meaning another." Then he drained the wine from his cup in one gulp and continued, "Speaking of which, Sixth Master is the truly lucky one. Originally, Yuanfan was demoted to serve as the magistrate of Qingyuan County, which was a demotion. Yet, he could bring so many benefits to Sixth Master. The advantages he gained from this demotion are something even you two, who have had smooth official careers for many years, could probably not imagine."

"That is indeed the case," Jinrong said sincerely, then smiled at Jiang Yifan, "Yuanfan, this demotion of yours, is it a blessing or a misfortune? Or is it a case where blessings and misfortunes are intertwined?"

Guan He refilled the cups for Jinrong and Qi Younian and poured himself a full cup, saying, "Given this young man’s energy, perhaps it is all good fortune. What’s so great about staying in the capital? It’s nothing more than vying with those old foxes who have been in the bureaucracy for years. It’s far less meaningful than doing some real work in the localities and not wasting the hard efforts of his master who took him on so many tours over the years."

Jiang Yifan, from beginning to end, did not give Ye Xinyan a glance, but he nodded in agreement, "The benefits have been substantial."

Ye Xinyan truly did not join them in conversation, and after finishing a bowl of noodles, she pulled Zhou Biyao to the back courtyard.

The Second Miss Zhou, who was reluctant to part with the roasted meat, managed to persuade Nanny Liu to give her two pieces of roast and several slices of cheese before leaving, saying she could roast them over the warming brazier and have a feast at dinner.

After resting for two days, Jinrong, with the two others and Guan He continued their leisurely ways, passing the time. Jinrong also took time to discuss with Jiang Yifan matters mentioned by Ye Xinyan, waiting until after the new year to gather the manpower and elaborate further.
