Chapter 994 - 226: The Death of Lady Yu_2
Zhao Xiaochen had gone on a northern campaign with Mo Heng this time.
Last time, Mo Heng arranged for Zhao Xiaochen to stay behind while he himself infiltrated Wa Ci to scout the enemy, which resulted in him being surrounded and in trouble. Later, he sought refuge with An Liefeng, leaving Zhao Xiaochen on the border, unable to earn significant military honors alongside Mo Heng and Pei Qin.
Madam Zhao regretted more than once that her son would be at risk on the battlefield, but this time she didn’t worry, and had Zhao Xiaochen follow Mo Heng early in the morning. Now a general, Mo Heng had powerful artillery and grenades to protect him, which wouldn’t jeopardize his life. Only by accompanying him could her son earn respectable military honors and also be bestowed the title of general to honor the family!
Fang Li was most discontented. He had insisted that Mo Heng ensure Dalang’s position was reinstated before leaving, yet he had departed without addressing it, resulting in his eldest son not only losing his position but also being investigated by the Ministry of Justice.
Old Scholar Fang and Grandma Fang were terrified when the Ministry of Justice came for Fang Liuming, fearing Fang Li’s actions had implicated Fang Liuming. They immediately came to Pei Qin to discuss countermeasures.
Pei Qin didn’t have the audacity to believe that the Ministry of Justice would heed her, "Mo Heng is leading troops outside now; the Imperial Court wouldn’t use this time to strike down his brother-in-law."
Grandma Fang was still uneasy, "Qinqin! The Ministry of Justice is said to be managed by the Shen family’s Elder Shen. If he finds out, he will release Dalang, won’t he?"
Pei Qin slightly frowned, "It should be just a routine investigation, I will have someone inquire about it."
