The reactions of the Hu Family's Three Brothers did not go unnoticed, and sighs of sympathy rippled through the onlookers.
The Wei Family was also a military family. They raised their children with strict discipline, producing many talented individuals. Wei Ting's military genius had been apparent from a young age, transforming him from the slender, green-robed youth who once roamed the Imperial City to the young general guarding the Northern Border. Wei Ting was the center of attention and the object of countless people's envy.
The Wei Chi family was similar to the Hu Family, yet also different.
They were similar in that Wei Chi Lianping's father's generation had also died a tragic death, a fact he dared not forget for a single moment. Bearing the earnest hopes of his elderly grandmother, he had come to Lin'an to claw his way up. He had risen from a mere Colonel guarding the city gates all the way to becoming the Prince Consort to Princess Hua Chang.
