Chapter 258 Second Update
Even at night, Zheng Capital remained the most bustling city of Nanzheng State, lively and vibrant, especially as the Seventh Eve approached, both of its most bustling streets and the newly constructed river landscape teemed with merchants.
Usually, this had nothing to do with Prince Duan, but recently, the Governor of Zheng Capital had suddenly been stricken by his old illness. With the Empress Dowager’s birthday drawing near, preparations everywhere were in full swing, and there were simply no available hands to stand in for Governor Lin for a few days.
Zheng Congyuan thought of Prince Duan, who was the only one capable of taking charge swiftly at such a time.
Without any refusal, Prince Duan had personally taken his men for a tour around the two most prosperous streets on the first day. On the second day, after inspecting the riverside, and noticing the night was still young, Prince Duan suddenly glanced at the Goat Horn Lamp in his Attendant’s hand, pondering that an estate was near the South City River, and now having reached the southern side of the river, thought of those two people.
Although Prince Duan did not wish to go, he still felt some discomfort in his heart. After all, Nian Ru’s matters had been settled, and Prince Duan saw hope.
Nanmen Yu never really offended him from the beginning until now; after all that had happened, it was not simply a matter of avoiding meeting at all costs.
Therefore, Prince Duan intended to form an alliance with these two, considering that Nanmen Yu was in a neighboring country with an uncertain fate, not worth worrying about, but these two were different. If they were around and spread any harmful rumors about Nian Ru, wouldn’t all his efforts come to naught?
After sharing a word with his Attendant, Prince Duan sat in the palanquin and leisurely headed towards his estate.
In the cover of night, Prince Duan was not in a hurry, leisurely observing the passersby on the road. Although he was nearing the southernmost part of Zheng Capital, there were still pedestrians and carriages, with no sign of decay.
