Chapter 88 - 82 Inquiry
Zhao Hanzhang returned fully loaded, and many people came to see them off.
It was clear that Zhao Changyu had considerable prestige in the clan and was well-liked. Although he had passed away, his legacy could still protect them.
Many people held her hand and cried, asking her to find time to take her mother, brother, and fiancé to visit home.
Zhao Hanzhang agreed to each of them, then took the twenty-nine new servants she had acquired, along with various chests and boxes gifted by the clan members, and left.
In the end, they did not choose to leave but decided to follow Zhao Hanzhang.
They were caught without cause, and when under Zhao Hu’s supervision, they constantly thought of escaping, but upon reaching Zhao Hanzhang, when she truly offered them a chance to leave, they hesitated.
Leaving meant they could be captured and sold at any time again, and the next owner might not possess Zhao Hanzhang’s character.
Indeed, although they had only exchanged a few words, they were convinced Zhao Hanzhang had integrity, at least treating them as human beings.
Hence, after discussing with their families, none of the eight families chose to leave.
Zhao Hanzhang, accompanied by servants and assets, headed imposingly towards Shangcai.
Oh, and Zhao Ming, given the chaos outside, although it’s close from Xiping to Shangcai, Zhao Song was uneasy, so he assigned Zhao Ming to escort them with guards, ensuring that they safely reach the estate in Shangcai.
