Chapter 144: Winter Solstice

After yesterday's events, people from C City quietly began flocking towards the Capital.

And they acted in separate groups.

In the upper circles of the Capital, any slight movement is exceedingly apparent, and to those people, the marriage arrangement between the He Family and the Song Family seemed set in stone, without a chance of any unexpected occurrences.

However, on this day, the Ji Family began stealthily inquiring about the marriage arrangement between the He Family and the Song Family.

In mid-December, less than a couple of weeks away from 2009, it was during such a countdown that some in C City grew restless, starting to stir up trouble behind the scenes,

December 21st, Winter Solstice.

Old folks often say, if there's no rain on Winter Solstice, the winter will be clear.

On this day in C City, in the morning, the sky was clear, the sun was warm, and a gentle breeze brushed against the face, blissfully comfortable.
