Chapter 427: Heading North (4000K)

For Hera@Qianlin+

Those two incidents, like the previous ones, were due to Chen Shiying's failure to manage his family and relatives properly. For sure, he would not be decapitated nor imprisoned; his fate depends on the Emperor and the court officials. Moreover, all necessary connections had been made, and all that needed to be done had been done, all that remained was to wait. There was no other way.

Just as the two were enjoying their conversation, General Lin in the hall spoke, "Mr. Chen, Mrs. Chu, it's time."

The two stood up, and tears welled up in Chen Afu's eyes again. She didn't know when she could see him again. Choking with sobs, she held onto Chen Shiying's sleeve and said, "Dad, you must take good care of yourself, me and our family in Dingzhou will be waiting for you. And don't think too much, too much worry can age you fast. Look at you, you already have white hair."
