The Lin Family's Visit 1

編集者: Henyee Translations

Upon hearing Gu Chaoyan's words, Lu Jiming was overcome with fear. The consequences of his father losing his rank would be dire for their entire family. Without the rank, they would lose the benefits bestowed by the court, including their servants, and the chance of remaining in the capital would vanish.

Struggling and shouting in desperation, he pleaded, "Queen, you cannot treat us like this! Yes, we turned our backs on you in the past, but please consider our history together. We were once engaged! Release us. Allow us to live peacefully once more, I implore you."

"…."

"We don't ask for much, just a life in the capital as it was before!" Lu Jiming's voice rang out, resonating through the gate. However, the imperial army swiftly silenced him, preventing any further utterance.
