Before he could even step into the courtyard, he heard Liu Zikang, dressed in a brand-new cloak, styled in his best impression of a young official – slick and polished – scurrying outward. He didn't notice him and collided directly with him.

"Halt! Where on earth are you dashing off to?"

Seeing this nuisance, Old Marquis Liu could hardly contain his rage and scolded him in a low voice.

"Father, you're back! You scared me. I was just on my way to meet some friends for some poetry discussion tonight!"

Having said that, he promptly manoeuvred aside and continued on his way.

But Old Marquis Liu quickly seized him!

"Where are you rushing off to? Poetic jamming sessions? Do you take me for a fool, not knowing what you do outside? Poetic jamming sessions my foot! I bet you're just mouthing verses over some woman's belly! Get back in!"

Old Marquis Liu was furious, and instantly flung a kick at Liu Zikang's leg, sending him toppling over.
