Chapter 101: Strength
Prince Duan looked at the man before him, having underestimated this hostage from Nanmen State, who apparently had such skills. Prince Duan suddenly recalled the last time he met Nanmen Yu, the slight fondness that had formed in his heart, and he even thought that such a down-to-earth, hardworking person, might indeed be able to...
What Prince Duan was thinking at that time was now slapping him in the face.
Nanmen Yu had been waiting for a long time and had not heard Prince Duan speak, vaguely feeling a bad premonition. What exactly about this family could be suspicious?
However, Nian Ru had always been in the palace, how could she possibly know the identity of these people?
Such a coincidence, even if he believed that Nian Ru had only happened to save this family, could it be that this family used some special means to catch Zheng Nianru’s attention, achieving their goal of entering the Imperial City?
Nanmen Yu then dismissed this thought, as he had personally dealt with this family from the beginning. Whether true or false, he could tell at a glance, and it seemed unlikely to be a deception.
Uncle Jingmen was flustered and unsure of what to do, wanting to invite someone inside but not daring to speak up.
"Cough cough cough cough—" A bout of coughing came from inside, and Uncle Jingmen nervously glanced inside but still braved his way toward it.
"Uncle Han—" Uncle Jingmen slowly aided the Duke of Jing Ci in bed, regulating his breath. Because he feared exposing their identities, Uncle Jingmen always referred to the Duke of Jing Ci as Uncle Han. After Tan Zong and others had arrived, they had received timely medical treatment and continuous nourishment from good medicines, and he was slowly showing improvement.
"What has happened outside?" The Duke of Jing Ci had not been unaware of the troubles these past few days, but having not involved himself in matters for a long time, now hearing Uncle Jingmen’s anxious voice and the disturbance the night before, he knew something had happened.
"Uncle Han—" Uncle Jingmen hurried to support the man. Uncle Zeng Han was their backbone; without Uncle Han, they would not have everything they have now.
