War is ruthless, reality is cruel, and the road ahead is full of dangers. They can only step on the thorns, leaving behind a pool of blood to paint the way forward for those who come after them.
A few hours later, daybreak arrived.
On behalf of the imperial court, Prime Minister Lu spoke some comforting words to the three thousand women.
Miss Lu said goodbye to Chen Wei and others with red eyes, holding her hand reluctantly.
"You must come back safely."
Chen Weihui held Miss Lu's hand.
"We will return safely. Please come visit Xiaoying's two daughters occasionally when you have time. I don't ask them to become rich and powerful, but I just hope they won't be bullied in the capital."
Miss Lu nodded solemnly, choking up as she said, "Don't worry, I've already discussed this with my parents and will adopt them as the Lu family's adopted daughters. No one will dare bully them from now on."
Shen Wei nodded.
Xiaoying was relieved and expressed her gratitude to Miss Lu again and again.
Qin Shuyu stepped forward and pursed her lips, saying, "I'll be waiting for your good news in the capital. If anything happens, please let me know. I'll do everything I can to help you."
"As for the martial arts school and the shop, you don't have to worry. With the Qin Mansion, the Xiang Mansion, and the Marquis Mansion protecting them, no one would dare to have any bad intentions."
Lord Lu looked at the sky, and although he couldn't bear it, he still reminded loudly:
“It’s time to set off!”
If we don't set off now, I'm afraid we won't reach the post station tonight.
Chen Wei said goodbye to everyone in tears and returned to the team.
Immediately afterwards, the team marched out of the city in a mighty procession. At a glance, the team looked like a flowing river, stretching from the end of the city to the city gate with no end in sight.
Behind the team was a long line of horse-drawn carriages, which were all compensation given by the court to the Huns. It made people angry but helpless at the same time.
"Daughter, take care."
"Daughter, why are you so stupid as to insist on going? Alas!"
"Sister, you must return safely."
"You're such a money-loser! I gave birth to you in vain..."
The people who were seeing them off spontaneously crowded on both sides of the road and watched from afar. Some were worried and frightened, while others were angry and cursing.
Chen Wei seemed to hear a sigh in the noisy environment, and seemed to hear someone calling her nickname.
But she didn't hear clearly, and just looked back subconsciously, but couldn't find anyone in the crowd.
Chen Wei shook his head and smiled, thinking that he must be hallucinating.
However, she did not notice that the prince was staring at her on the second floor of the restaurant behind her.
"Take care of yourself!"
The prince whispered something that only he could hear, and silently watched Chen Wei leave the capital until her back disappeared into a small black dot.
Only when he could no longer see him did the prince silently withdraw his gaze.
Many people followed them far out of the city. After Qin Shuyu saw the team leave the city, he took Su Zhu back to the marquis' mansion.
A trip back to the Marquis' Mansion.
Then I heard the servants report that Xie Yuchuan lost his temper again today.
Qin Shuyu walked steadily to see Xie Yuchuan. Before entering the room, he heard Xie Yuchuan's hysterical roar:
"Where's Qin Shuyu! Where is she? Let her come see me!"
"Have her come to see me!"
Hearing this, Su Zhu frowned unconsciously, wondering how the once high-spirited Lord Xie could become so incompetent and furious.
Su Zhu glanced at Qin Shuyu's back secretly, and saw that Qin Shuyu seemed not to hear anything, and walked in calmly.
These days, Qin Shuyu has rectified the family style of the Marquis' Mansion with swift and decisive measures, and quickly gained control of the entire Marquis' Mansion. Now he has become the person in charge of the Marquis' Mansion.
