章 29: No identity of his own [Bonus chapter]

Xianwu and Zhongshu stepped out of the carriage upon reaching the venue of the after-wedding feast. Prime Minister Jin Liang married off his daughter to a powerful minister's son, who was a commander in the Northern Provincial Army.

Xianwu hated such events where so many nobles and their families would gather only to ridicule one another. They would show who had how much wealth and in what positions they served the Emperor of the Empire. In truth, everyone wanted each other's downfall.

Zhongshu told Xianwu they should head to the main courtyard where they could meet their family.

"You should go ahead," Xianwu said, choosing not to be with his family tonight.

"Did you drink?" Yu Chen suddenly appeared before him and sniffed Xianwu's robes.

"A little," Xianwu replied.

Yu Chen rolled his eyes and quickly took out the bottle of the perfume he would always carry with him. He quickly poured its entire content on Xianwu's robes, making his eyes go wide.
