Nan Hou Xiang has become numb by now.
There was no point in concerning about this matter because the more he thought and pondered about it, it would only cause more pain in his heart.
And over the years, Nan Hou Xiang learned to accept it.
Accept that his life was no longer the same as before and that he had to live by himself without anyone caring for him.
Because if Nan Hou Xiang couldn’t accept it, he would only be full of grievances, hatred, sadness, and even madness. What kind of life could he have with such heavy feelings burdening in his heart?
It was definitely not a good one.
And Nan Hou Xiang had no energy or time to plan for the so called revenge.
What kind of revenge does he want?
Destroy the Nan Family?
How many years did he have to work hard for him to be able to reach their height?
Or should he destroy his own future for the so called revenge?
No.
Nan Hou Xiang didn’t want to.
The main reason why he continued going was for the sake of his dream, to become a capable official.
As for his family’s name and so on…
Nan Hou Xiang had no time to care about it in the slightest bit.
His father’s name had been smeared so badly that there was no good point left. Perhaps, only he could think that his father was not that bad because he had been given favor by his father when he was young.
But by now, Nan Hou Xiang could barely remember any of those things.
His parents had never been present in the following steps of his life and Nan Hou Xiang didn’t think that it was necessary for him to do anything to cleanse his name. Because if it was possible to cleanse his name, his grandfather would have done that many years ago.
His own grandfather gave up on his father.
And it was only after learning various etiquette and ethics lesson in the academy that Nan Hou Xiang realized why his grandfather chose to give up on his father.
A person who could kill his own wife…
What kind of person is he?
Nan Hou Xiang tossed the thoughts away from him.
Becoming an official should have been someone full of virtue but the reality was the complete opposite. No matter how polite and good they looked like, the reality was that they were all scheming b*stard who only knew how to take advantage of others.
While some of them did their work properly, some others only wanted the power they could get from this position.
Nan Hou Xiang had met with several officials when he was in the academy.
And the short interaction with them told him the true nature of these people. But even if it was that way, Nan Hou Xiang still wanted to become an official.
For his dream and for his own life.
"When will the result announced?"
"It should be in a few more days. Are you sure about your result?"
"I will definitely pass!"
As Nan Hou Xiang walked out, he heard the conversation of the people around him. He looked around for a moment before turning his head away and slowly made his way back to the academy.
Once the result came out…
He hoped that he could finally go.
…
<Song Family Residence, Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua’s side>
Along the way, Song Chuan told Long Qian Xing about the few things that he knew. But if Song Chuan had to be honest, he didn’t spend that much time with his son because of his work. He could only spend more time with his family when he was done with his work.
The one who knew how to take care children more was definitely his wife and not him.
"How many children do you have?" Long Qian Xing asked as they reached the Song Family Residence.
He remembered that Song Chuan has more than one children, but he forget the specific number. After all, he didn’t pay attention to Song Chuan and his family all the time.
"I have three children so far," Song Chuan replied with a helpless tone. If it was possible, Song Chuan didn’t really want to have so many children.
"Your first son is already 10 years old?" Long Qian Xing asked.
"11 years old," Song Chuan corrected. "My second son is 4 years old this year and the youngest daughter was born a month ago. Ah, my wife is in her confinement, so it won’t be convenient to see her now."

"It’s fine." Long Qian Xing nodded.
He knew that the medical situation in this era was still very bad. For these women who had given birth, they had to stay in confinement for a period of time to recuperate. Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to be healthy.
It was hard for them and Long Qian Xing didn’t want to make things even more difficult.

Anyway, he could talk with Song Chuan.
"I’ll call the two children to play with you." Song Chuan chuckled. "The two of them are learning to become a scholar, so they might not like childish games."
Childish games?
Nan Hua looked at Song Chuan and then glanced at Long Qian Xing. Considering that she was now pregnant… there were many activities that she couldn’t do either.
But how adult like could these children be?
They walked inside and Song Chuan said to his butler, "Call Song Yi Liang and Song Yi Nan."
"Song Yi Nan?" Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows at this name. The pronunciation was the same as his wife’s surname.
"It’s the same Nan," Song Chuan said as he motioned for them to sit down on the courtyard. "My wife comes from the south, so she wishes her son can have this name."
"I see." Long Qian Xing nodded in understanding.
Nan Hua blinked her eyes.
That was a unique reason.
