Chapter 235
War is ruthless, reality is cruel, and the road ahead is full of dangers. They can only step on the thorns, leaving 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 Shen Wei and others with red eyes, holding her hand reluctantly.
"You must come back safely."
Shen Weihui held Miss Lu's hand.
"We will come back safely. Please come and visit Xiaoying's two daughters occasionally when you have time. I don't ask them to become rich and powerful, but I just hope that they will not be bullied in the capital."
Miss Lu nodded solemnly and choked up as she said, "Don't worry, I have already discussed it with my parents and will recognize them as the adopted daughters of the Lu family. No one will dare to bully them in the future."
Shen Wei nodded.
Xiaoying was also relieved and expressed her gratitude to Miss Lu again and again.
Qin Shuyu stepped forward, pursed her lips and said, "I will wait for your good news in the capital. If anything happens, please inform me. I will 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 Hou Mansion protecting them, no one dares 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 I don't set off now, I'm afraid I won't be able to reach the post station tonight.
Shen Wei said goodbye to everyone in tears and returned to the team.
Immediately afterwards, the team marched out of the city in a mighty manner. 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.
"Go slowly, daughter."
"Daughter, why are you so stupid to go? Alas!"
"Sister, you must come back safely."
"You are 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 afraid, while others were angry and cursing.
Shen Wei seemed to hear a sigh in the noisy environment, and seemed to hear someone calling her nickname.
But she didn't hear it clearly, and just looked back subconsciously, but couldn't find anyone in the crowd.
Shen 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 watched Shen Wei leave the capital silently until her figure disappeared into a small black dot.
Only when he could no longer see him did the prince silently look away.
Many people followed them far out of the city. After Qin Shuyu saw the team leaving the city, he took Su Zhu back to the Marquis' Mansion.
Once 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 she entered the room, she 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 Lord Xie, who was so high-spirited at the beginning, could become so incompetent and furious.
Su Zhu glanced at Qin Shuyu's back secretly, and saw that Qin Shuyu seemed not to have heard it, and walked in calmly.
These days, Qin Shuyu has rectified the family tradition of the Marquis' Mansion with swift and resolute means, and quickly gained control of the entire Marquis' Mansion. Now he has become the person in charge of the Marquis' Mansion.
