After half a year away, Wu Lihong walked into his home again, feeling as if heaven and earth had swapped places. The task had been successfully accomplished, and it was surely worth a merit. Even if he didn't get an immediate promotion, it should count towards his achievements, and with some maneuvering by the end of the year, he might even advance a level.
He had been at the fifth rank for quite a few years, while his peers had long surpassed him. It was time for his promotion.
Hmm, he needed to talk to Madam Wang, asking her to pay more respects to Consort Wang in the palace. Perhaps, with a gentle pillow talk, his promotion would not just be one level, but two.
Wu Lihong was thinking in this manner, feeling a warmth in his heart upon seeing Madam Wang waiting at the second gate with a smiling entourage.
After being away from home for a long time, which man wouldn't want to see his wife and children waiting for him when he returned?
