Chapter 253: The Heart of a Child, Clearly Visible (4th Update)

As people dispersed, the night had deepened.

A waning moon hung on the treetops, casting an eerie, hazy glow.

Chen Xiuhe stepped out of the An Family's residence, looking back at the banquet hall still lit with lanterns.

He knew the military personnel were inside discussing matters with Xue An.

As for those domineering noble families that came with the intention to strip the An Family bare, they had already slinked away in defeat.

Moreover, Chen Xiuhe knew that tonight in Zhongdu, many would be sleepless.

"Grandfather, what's wrong?" Chen Rushi asked when she saw her grandfather standing still.

Chen Xiuhe cracked a faint smile, "Nothing, I was just suddenly struck by some thoughts! Let's go!"

As the Chen Family departed.

Xue An was seated on a sofa in the banquet hall, his slender fingers tapping lightly on the armrest, watching the group opposite him with an amused gaze.

"Mr. Xue, the item you acquired from Country E, could you hand it over to us?" General Wang said.
