Chapter 299: He May Not Come Back
The maidservant thought for a moment and said, "I don’t know. However, the servant is still waiting for Master outside."
The middle-aged man turned to look at his wife and said, "Madam, I have an urgent matter. You can eat slowly. You don’t have to wait for me to come back."
Without waiting for his wife to answer, the middle-aged man left in a hurry. The servant saw his Master coming out and said hurriedly, "Master, they are still waiting in the main hall."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man nodded, and the two of them hurried to the main hall. Not long after, they arrived. The middle-aged man waved his hand, and the servants in the main hall left. Before leaving, one of them closed the door of the main hall.
In the main hall, Chi Xiyou stood up when he saw the middle-aged man, and Chi Xinru also stood up. When the middle-aged man saw the two of them, he calmed down and asked, "Who are you?"
Chi Xiyou clasped his fists and said, "Greetings, Ceng Da Ren. My name is Chi Xiyou, and this is my younger sister, Chi Xinru. We have come to visit you since we came to the imperial capital city, and we also bring you our father’s words."
Ceng Baocheng walked to the main seat and sat down. He motioned Chi Xiyou and Chi Xinru to sit down and asked, "Are you two the son and daughter of Commander Chi?"
Chi Xiyou smiled and said, "Ceng Da Ren, our father has retired for a long time and is just an ordinary villager. Please don’t call him Commander Chi anymore."
Knowing that Chi Xiyou didn’t want anyone to know Chi Junheng’s secret mission, Ceng Baocheng sighed and said, "It must be hard for Brother Chen all these years. How is he doing now?"
