He Yan Pays a Visit

Gu Shan remained silent, evidently agreeing with his wife's words. He said, "I'll see. It seems I indeed need to make a trip to Daqing Village."

In Daqing Village, Gu Zi and the others began to tidy up the house and pack their belongings after returning from the red brick house.

Gu Zi looked at the cozy little home she had arranged, which was now gradually emptying. She felt a stir in her heart, "I originally thought I would stay here for a long time. I didn't expect to leave so soon."

Hearing her sentimental words, Su Shen also put down his work, swept his gaze over the furnishings of the house, and couldn't help but sigh, "I once thought I would stay here for a lifetime."

Su Shen disliked the deceitful officialdom and never wanted to participate in factional struggles. However, over the years in the army, as his military rank kept rising, he was inevitably drawn into the struggles.
