Bab 177: Spotted Bamboo
That lithe figure had already left the banquet hall, taking Wu Bin's heart and soul along with it. From the corner of his eye, he could see the disapproving looks his father was directing his way. His father had been trying all evening to facilitate mindless conversation between Wu Bin and some of the new court officials who had recently joined the fold in the latest imperial examinations but the old fool was blind to the disdain the others held for them.
What Minister of Rites Wu Shengqi refused to acknowledge, Wu Bin saw as clear as day. Old noble clan or not, the name of the Wu Family no longer carried the same prestige as it once did.

Queeniecat A/N: Thank you very much for reading and for the gifts, comments, power stones and golden tickets. <3
I won't bore everyone with further apologies as I've been doing this all year, it's just been one unfortunate circumstance after another. I lost most of the future chapter plans for this novel and took a long time regathering the research sources as well as rewriting those plans out. It was very disheartening and at times I considered giving up but understood that it would be very unfair to my readers. I was further encouraged by the illustrator of my novel cover, who presented me with a beautiful finished product. I cannot thank her enough.
I am hoping that this is the final time I have to thank you for your patience. My dear readers, I could not have found the will to continue writing without all of you.
