Chapter 140: I Want to Follow You

"I'm just going there to report back. I should return after a month," Shen Chengyao nodded and said.

"It seems odd not having to reside permanently in the Imperial Capital despite having a title, don't you think?" Mr. Shen found it strange.

"His Majesty has been gracious enough not to require us to live permanently in the Imperial Capital, just spend some time there each year," Shen Chengyao said, smiling at the thought. This pleased him the most.

"I see," Mr. Shen nodded. Wouldn't that mean his daughter wouldn't have her parents as support once she married into a family in the Imperial Capital? Given the distance, he wouldn't even hear if something were to happen.

His daughter had been coddled too much, and he knew she was both naive and guileless!

Thinking about this, Mr. Shen became hesitant again. A woman marrying off into a distant family would have nowhere to turn to when wronged!
