Chapter 20(part 1)- The Good Show

───※ ·❆· ※───

After having a fight with Ban Heng, Ban Hua dragged him to go shopping with her, with the excuse of exercising his body. As soon as the siblings walked to the door, they heard some noise outside.

The two saw that two young men were helping their father get out of a carriage. Their father was so drunk that he needed other's help to even walk.

"Sister, has our mother gone out?" Ban Heng glanced behind the door. If his father's appearance was seen by his mother, he did not know whether his mother would be angry or not.

"No, mother just said she was going to take a nap." Ban Hua glanced at Ban Heng sympathetically. As she was about to go forward with Ban Heng to help Ban Huai, another person walked out of the carriage.

"Princess, heir," Rong Xi straightened his robes, and apologetically said, "I was next to Hou Ye for a meal and accidentally let him drink a few more glasses of wine. I'm really sorry."

"The Lord has sent my father back," Ban Hua felt that this matter could not be blamed on Rong Xiao. She knew how bad her father's liquor capacity was. The only thing she didn't expect was that her father would be able to get together with Count Rong. It was like a cat and a swan playing together. It made people feel awkward. "My father is not good at holding alcohol. If he said something offensive, Count, please don't take it to your heart."

"Junzhu speaks seriously, Hou Ye has done nothing to offend," Rong Xia saw that Ban-Huai had been escorted into the sedan by the manservant, and said, "Since Hou Ye has safely arrived, I shall take my leave. "

"Bo-Ye, it's better to stay for some refreshments before leaving," Ban-Heng came over and suggested to Rong-Xia, "Bo-Ye, please."

"How can I disturb you again....."

"Rong Bo-ye", Ban Huai, who was sitting in the sedan, stuck his head out of the window and said drunkenly," I am sure you are our friend!"

"Cough," Ban Heng coughed dryly, and said, "Yes, Bo-Ye, you are welcome!"

Ban Hua covered her face silently, turning her head, she signaled the servants to carry her father into the inner courtyard as soon as possible and leave the rest to her mother to worry about.

Rong Xia followed the siblings into the house. This was the first time he entered the Ban's house. The appearance of Ban's house was similar to what he had imagined, but there were still many differences. The mansion was luxurious and exquisite, with famous flowers and trees, carved beams, and painted buildings. If you wanted to enter the second gate, you had to pass a Jiuqu Bridge. (1) Under the bridge was a clear pond. The golden kois in the pond,swishing its tail leisurely ,looked fat and lazy.

However, the subordinates of the Ban family turned out to be more disciplined than he thought. Unlike some people who had a relationship with the royal family, but could not even manage the subordinates despite their status.

It was Madam Hou's credit that it was this way. It was said that the princess liked Jingting Hou Furen so much that she specially asked someone to arrange marriage for her son. Fortunately, although Jingting Hou didn't accomplish anything and lived idle, he was very good to his wife. Rong Xia had also heard that Jingting Hou Furen was very smart and beautiful when he was young.

He glanced at the Ban sister and brother. This pair of sisters and brothers might be considered more casual?
