Chapter 915: Let's Go Out
Early the next morning, Tang Shijing left the estate with several shopkeepers.
They were all veteran shopkeepers of the Tang family, some having already risen to the rank of steward. Though Tang Mingjing was unusually strict with him, he never skimped on matters like this. Everything Tang Shijing needed was fully prepared, including his escort, which boasted a good number of Seventh- and even Eighth-Rank martial artists.
This trip was a matter of life and death.
Tang Mingjing felt gratified, but more than that, he was worried.
That night, Tang Shijing's mother—a concubine Tang Mingjing had taken later in life—threw a fit. She absolutely refused to let Tang Shijing go to that place. It was in such chaos; who knew if he would ever come back once he left? What if he threw his life away for nothing?
Tang Mingjing merely replied calmly, "He isn't young anymore. He has caused plenty of trouble growing up. Are you hoping he causes some world-shaking disaster I can't save him from before you finally teach him how to behave? Besides, I didn't force him to go this time. He begged me for it."
Faced with these words, Tang Shijing's mother let out a helpless sigh. "Alas..."
She said nothing more.
"Get some rest," Tang Mingjing said.
