Chapter 48 - 42: Escaping Danger
nσvel.cøm It was not until evening that Zhao Hanzhang arrived at the Fu Family’s door with Zhao Erlang. Fu Zhi had been waiting at the door early. As they kneeled, he stepped forward to support them, sighing, "It’s been hard on you two children."
He took a piece of hemp cloth and tied it to his arm, sighing softly, "Go back. Today, His Majesty has issued a decree for a grand funeral for your grandfather. People from the Ministry of Rites have also gone to assist with the funeral arrangements. If you have any requests, just let them know."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Hanzhang realized that things had progressed as Zhao Changyu had hoped, and the Zhao Family was safe.
She exhaled deeply and bowed deeply to Fu Zhi, "Thank you, Grandfather Fu."
Fu Zhi looked at Fu Tinghan, "Send Third Sister and Erlang back. As the grandson-in-law, you should fulfill your filial duties at the Zhao Family. No need to rush back."
Fu Tinghan agreed, stepping forward to support Zhao Hanzhang, whose face was pale. She had been walking all day, kneeling all day, and was hungry all day. No matter how good her health was, she couldn’t hold on.
"Let’s take the carriage back."
"Take my carriage, take my carriage," Wang Si Niang ran up from behind, pointing to her ox cart, "Take my cart, it’s stable."
Zhao Hanzhang thanked her, and with Fu Tinghan’s help, she got into the cart. Zhao Erlang followed in a daze, still feeling like he was in a dream.
He couldn’t help but lean towards his sister, squeezing her and whispering, "Sister, will I wake up after dawn?"
