With Sheng Lu and Su Fu leaving with their people, the Sheng Family Manor returned to its usual tranquility.
After the previous events, Yuan Shougui became more enamored with Sheng Xueyi. He felt that in his current state, if he didn't change, he would never be worthy of Sheng Xueyi, let alone stand up for her.
After much thought, Yuan Shougui made up his mind.
He found the village head of Shiqu Village and decided to sell all family assets.
The superior lands that the Yuan Family had originally purchased, along with a hill of reclaimed lands and their house, were all sold by Yuan Shougui.
Then, Yuan Shougui made an incredibly bold decision; he joined the military.
Having never studied well, and lacking the talents of Yuan Yindi, military service seemed to Yuan Shougui the only way to rise—through military exploits and ranks.
With two uncles like Yuan Wangdi and Yuan Laidi, Yuan Shougui had some martial skills.
