Chapter 145: Muyang’s decision
"Great, I will start making the arrangements for your accommodation in the Emperor’s courts immediately." The minister squirreled away so fast before she could change her mind. The Emperor’s courts was a large estate where the most powerful, prestigious and protected families lived. One did not get to live there because of wealth, one earned their way into the Emperor’s courts by contributing greatly to the empire.
Turning to look at Muyang, she smiled contently. "Do you think it’s the right decision?" She genuinely wanted to know his opinion.
"I support it. To be honest, the elders and I have discussed it before but we had no way of approaching the subject with your family. My time in this city has always been temporary so eventually I hoped I would be able to convince you to move to the capital with me but I know you would never leave your family behind so I have been holding off on broaching the topic. It’s also good for us all security wise. In the capital, our home is surrounded by dozens of guards, no one can come easily and out the way that crazy woman who almost killed our daughter did. The schools there are great and the connections are the best in the empire. In my opinion, there is no loss incurred by you moving to the capital." He stated some of the benefits of moving to the capital.
"In that case, let’s go and tell the whole family the good news." She slipped her hand into his and together they went to meet the rest of the family where they were sitting.
Chi Zimo was the first to see them and he waved happily. "You guys missed the movie." He said. "Its super awesome, I am going to watch it again with my friends next week."
"Where have you been?" the old master asked.
Chi Wei looked at their united hands unhappily before looking away and sipping some soda.
"Well, we have some news." Chi Lian announced.
The old madam, He Weili and the Chi parents looked at the united hands and their eyes glimmered with hope. Was this the moment they had all been waiting for?
