The next day, everything was calm as usual.
It was as if nothing at all had happened within the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
The most noteworthy thing was that as soon as Shi Xing'an took the Lord Thousand Households position, he started frantically amassing wealth, lining his own pockets to the extreme—almost to the extent of plucking feathers from flying birds.
One knows his own affairs best.
Shi Xing'an was well aware of what he had sacrificed to earn this Lord Thousand Households seat.
He'd practically sold off everything he owned, giving it all away as bribes.
Fortunately, he'd succeeded in rising to the position, so of course he had to seize every opportunity to make money; otherwise, he wouldn't even have a place to stay.
Of course.
But a Lord Thousand Households pocketing money wasn't unusual at all in the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
