The number one spendthrift woman in the capital actually brings glory to her entire family?

In June of the 466th year of the Red Moon Calendar, after traveling for many days, the Minister of Works, his deputy, the chief strategist, and several members of the Imperial Guard finally arrived at the capital of the Great Yong Dynasty.

It was early summer, and the weather was a bit muggy. The group had changed out of their battle robes and armor and were dressed in ordinary clothes.

Sikong Jin was dressed in a moon-white brocade robe, her hair tied up with a silver crown. She had a handsome face, was dashing and elegant, and looked like a charming young master. The three people behind her, Zhu Si, were dressed as servants. The group was in a hurry to get there and were covered in dust from their journey.

"My lord, please give us back our meal money. I beg you. I've been in Malan City for more than half a year. I can't go home penniless, can I? My mother will use her powers. You know how angry she is."

The strategist, Fatty Zhu, pleaded pitifully.

Sikong Jin shrugged. "You even took my purse. That's all the money I have."

Deputy General Mei Ruhua frowned in displeasure and said coldly, "Sir, didn't you win a lot of money at Xiangrui Gambling House last night? Where did it go?"

"That's right! Sir, we've been following you for half a year now. If we go back with you like this, people will look down on you, and no one will be willing to follow you anymore!"

Meng Benbo pouted, his tone slightly resentful, "You always take advantage of us to extort money, sir. That's wrong of you, it'll only make you lose people's hearts!"

"Deputy General Meng, Deputy General Mei, Strategist Zhu! I didn't extort you back then. You yourselves said that if I didn't go, it would be disrespectful to you. If I were a wealthy man, it wouldn't be a problem for me to reward you with thousands or tens of thousands of taels of silver. The key is that I'm broke. All my salary was used to pay off that messy debt at Mingzhu Restaurant on Meng Benbo's birthday!"

Sikong Jin sighed and looked at the group with an innocent expression.

"No money? Then what are you carrying in your sleeve?"

Mei Ruhua stepped forward indignantly, but Sikong Jin quickly tightened his sleeves and looked at her warily. "What do you want to do? This is the imperial city!"

'Boom! '

Just as Sikong Jin pulled back her sleeves, a golden streak of light flashed past everyone's sight. Meng Benbo and the others were startled and subconsciously followed the golden streak of light to see that it was actually a glittering gold ingot!

"Gold ingot!"

Meng Benbo's eyes lit up instantly, and he rushed over without hesitation.

"Oh dear, my gold ingot!"

"Deputy General Mei, quick! He must still have some on him! Just say that the lord won quite a lot yesterday!"

"Ah! What are you doing... Vice General Mei, you are too presumptuous, how dare you lay a hand on me... Ouch, my gold ingots..."

Before long, Meng Benbo, Mei Ruhua, and Zhu Si each received a gold ingot and several silver coins from Sikong Jin. The three of them happily stuffed their spoils into their sleeves, each one beaming with joy.

Sikong Jin, his face dark, glared at the group, "Then consider it a loan from me, you have to pay it back, with interest..."

The group ignored him and walked straight through the tall and magnificent city gates of the imperial city into the city.

……

"The imperial city! We've finally returned!"

Zhu Da, the chief strategist, and his deputy Mei Ruhua lined up and threw their bags into the air. The group blocked most of the streets of the imperial city, almost causing a traffic jam. However, they were completely unaware of the strange and disdainful looks they received from passersby.

Sikong Jin looked up at the clean and wide street in front of her, where crowds thronged like the sea. The air was filled with the enticing aromas of various delicacies. The shop windows and shelves on both sides of the street were filled with all kinds of goods. The shouts of vendors, the laughter of passersby, and the cheers and applause of those watching acrobatics filled the air, creating a bustling and lively scene.

Just like the impression Sikong Jin had left in her mind, nothing seemed to have changed; the imperial city was still as beautiful and prosperous as ever. More than half a year has passed, and now, returning here, I wonder if Sikong Jin, who has gradually faded into the distance, would feel any comfort if she knew?

Regardless of whether she is far away, her responsibility and mission remain, and she will always do everything in her power to fulfill them.

Across the vast land, winds rise and clouds surge; who will rise and who will fall?

Through countless trials and tribulations, if we are to talk about heroes, let's look to today!

She has come back!

So, let's start from here.

Mei Ruhua turned her head, and for a fleeting moment, she seemed to see a sharp, cold glint in the adult's eyes. However, before she could see it clearly, the adult was already filled with astonishment—

"Ah, I'm finally back!"

……

'Da Da!'

The words had barely faded when the street ahead fell silent. A rapid clatter of hooves sounded, and the crowd parted to make way. A troop of guards dressed in the uniforms of the Sikong family galloped up and dismounted swiftly before Sikong Jin.

"Wang Hu, the third guard captain of the Sikong family, greets the Third Young Master! By order of the family head, I am here to respectfully welcome the Third Young Master back to the manor!"

A handsome man clasped his hands in greeting before Sikong Jin.

Sikong Shu?

She had only just arrived at the gates of the imperial city when he already knew the news?

The intelligence spread pretty fast!

Sikong Jin raised an eyebrow slightly, and a simple and grateful smile appeared on his handsome face. "I have just arrived in the capital, and my grandfather has already sent you here. It is truly kind of him to think of me. Captain Wang, how is he? Is he in good health?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Hu, the third captain of the Sikong family's guard, immediately clasped his hands in a fist salute and replied, "The family head is well, but he is a little worried about you, Third Young Master!"

Thinking about you?

Sikong Jin smiled gently, his eyes filled with deep gratitude. "I am truly grateful to you, Grandpa. I have been thinking of them constantly these past few days."

The smile was very faint, yet somehow it sent a chill down my spine, like an ice needle piercing my body, making me shudder involuntarily. But when I looked up at the speaker, I saw that he had a calm expression, and the gratitude and excitement in his eyes were hard to hide.

"Third Young Master, the Patriarch requests that you go to see him immediately."

Sikong Jin was taken aback, glanced at Wang Hu with some surprise, and then nodded, "Alright, but could I please settle my subordinates in first before I go over?"

"Alright, let's do it this way. I've been traveling all day and my stomach is still empty. Let's talk about it after I've settled things. Hmm, tell the head of the family that I'll be going back in a day or two. I need to have some fun for a day or two."

"Third Young Master, is he the head of the family...?"

Before Wang Hu could finish speaking, Sikong Jin had already crossed over.

"Sir, let's find an inn to stay in first. I want the best one; the inn is too chaotic!"

"Yes! We want to stay at the Hilton Hotel!"

……

Meng Benbo and his group couldn't wait to make their demands.
