Taehyung was invited to admire the flowers by Fu Tianci
The seventh concubine that she spoke of is Du Haitang. Du Haitang was anxious when she heard it and quickly defended “Lord, there’s no way, Taehyung is timid since he was small, where would he have the courage…”

During these past few years in Fu mansion, she was still unable to bear Lord Fu’s child. Taehyung was able to pass the imperial exam at a young age and is also very filial to her, unlike his heartless father.

Du Haitang looks forward to seeing him achieve scholarly honour (or official rank). Fortunately there’s someone that she can rely on for the rest of her life. After all, you can’t depend on men, but there’s still some hope in a son.

"Enough, all of you shut up! Fugui, you say it, what happened today?”

Lord Fu who was already holding backing anger was bothered by those two ladies to the point of annoyance. He slammed the table, and with eyes full of anger, he first caught the little servant for interrogation.

”Master, this servant will say it, this servant will say it. Today, the second young master made this servant go invite  little young master Du to go to the Lihua Garden to drink and make friends. Who knew that not long after young master Du entered, a ruckus happened inside. When this servant went in again, the room was already a mess. The second young master was not in sight and little young master Du was also missing. Also don’t know when they left the door, this servant was always waiting outside the door….”

The little servant was frightened to the point of trembling, how could he dare to hide what happened. He immediately said everything, and in order to protect his own life, he spared no effort to push the matter to Taehyung.

Each word and each sentence always expressed the meaning of, “Master, this does not involve this servant, this servant has always been guarding outside the door, and does not know anything!”

Listening to the words of Fu Gui, Master Fu’s expression was getting more and more ugly.

Second Young Master Fu’s mother’s crying became more and more unhappy.

Taehyung followed suit and in his heart he laughed more and more evilly. He already long knew that this dog-like servant would pull on him, but luckily he already made preparations.

He waited until the Master slammed his hand on the table and bellowed, “How dare you disgrace have the impertinence to set up and harm my son!”
Taehyung sucked in a breath of air and forced his face to pale by a few shades. His face exposed an expression as if he wanted to cry, and only then did he start to ashamedly explain.

“Master, how would i dare to disrespect the Second Young Master? In any case,i bears the scholarly honor of one who has passed the imperial exam, if you only rely on the account of one lowly servant to determine my fault, is it not too arbitrary? Our Kingdom has a law, where an official must determine whether a scholar has committed a crime or not. If you condemn me here, will you not still have to go through an authority? Master, please also listen to my explanation…”

When he heard these words, Master Fu paused, what Taehyung said made sense. Their Kingdom really did have such a law.

Ordinarily, Taehyung was shut indoors and didn’t speak much, adding onto his appearance of being easy to bully, only after he said it did everyone remember he was a scholar.

Thus, in their Kingdom, even if a scholar was guilty, they still had to deliver them to an official to make the decision. He was also not allowed to be punished in private.

Today, the scandal is of her son’s, how could they just deliver it to an official and make it public? The anger in Master Fu’s heart was smothered, with him using great effort in order to repress his rage, his shining gaze staring tensely at Taehyung when he spoke.
