After breakfast, Kang Chen said to Ming Mei, "I'm going out today; I'll be back for lunch, and in the afternoon, I'll take you to visit Old Mr. Qin and the Old Lady."
Ming Mei nodded, "Alright, you go ahead."
Kang Chen lowered his head and kissed Ming Mei's forehead.
After leaving the house, he had the driver go to the palace first.
Qi Jiu guarded the palace like a fortress, impenetrable.
Upon meeting, Kang Chen first noticed a bruise on Qi Jiu's left cheekbone, "Did you get hit?"
Qi Jiu touched it and said nonchalantly, "My dad beat me."
The reason for it didn't need to be explained; everyone knew it.
Qi Jiu secretly helped Kang Chen, which actually meant he was going against his grandfather and father. Now that Kang Chen had won, naturally, his grandfather and father were furious.
In their fury, they took it out on Qi Jiu. Going home and getting beaten was unavoidable.
