Grant's Fall from Grace and Rise to Power Chapter 18

After meeting the emperor, Owen You returned to the scholar's residence. The housekeeper said that a guest had come to visit. When he entered the room, he saw that it was Miles Ling. When he saw Owen You, Miles Ling bowed and smiled so hard that people's scalps tingled: "Hello, Lord You." Owen You smiled back and pointed to the room: "Lord Ling, please come in." Miles Ling waved his hand and said: "This humble official is just here to pass on a message."

Owen You nodded in understanding. Miles Ling said, "Master Zhongtang said that since we are all on the same saddle, there is no need to be on guard." Owen You smiled and said nothing more. Miles Ling thought for a while and said, "In early September, Master Chang will celebrate his sixtieth birthday." Owen You said, "Zi Wang will send someone to deliver a small gift."

"Sure enough, Lord Chang was right. Lord You will not go. But there are many people in the court, and rumors are easy to spread. Lord Chang can understand." Miles Ling leaned close to Owen You's ear and whispered, "Lord You is indeed a wise man. He did not choose the wrong person." Owen You smiled and said, "Thank you Lord Ling for your praise."

After Miles Ling left, Owen You returned to the living room and sat down, thinking for a long time. The housekeeper came over and said, "Master, I thought there was no good-looking person in the court except you. I didn't expect that Lord Ling is also very handsome, but a little arrogant." Owen You didn't seem to listen and took a sip of tea.

The housekeeper smiled and said, "However, the most interesting person is the one who came to congratulate you on your promotion but kept standing at the door and didn't come in." Owen You came back to his senses and looked up at him, "Are you talking about Ethan Ji?" The housekeeper nodded repeatedly, "Yes, that's Master Ji."
