Chapter 170 - 168: The Movement of Clouds
"Seeing this letter is like seeing you, my son. As you make your way in the world, do not worry about the home front. Your mother and I are eating well, sleeping soundly, and all is well. I, especially, have been aided by you and have achieved a breakthrough in my cultivation to the True Essence Realm during my middle years..."
As Ye Zhen read the family letter, his eyes became slightly moist.
The lines were either concerned with Ye Zhen or reassuring him that everything at home was fine.
The letter was lengthy and verbose, but to Ye Zhen, it was filled with his parents’ deep affection. When he reached the sixth page, Ye Zhen’s brows suddenly lifted.
Two months ago, the Imperial Court suddenly issued an Enrollment Order for his father, Ye Tiancheng, on account of his breakthrough to the True Essence Realm, appointing Ye Tiancheng as the County Magistrate of Gold City County in Wusan County, making him the premier official on par with the Prefect of Gold City County.
However, according to Ye Tiancheng, even the Prefect of Gold City County heeded his opinions.
From then on, the Ye Family had leapt to become a prestigious family in Gold City County, well-regarded throughout Wusan County.
It was only a few days later that the Prefectural Governor and County Captain of Wusan County, along with a prince named Zhu Changyu, visited. They bestowed thousands of acres of good farmland, numerous carts of gold and silver jewels, and even ten beautiful women.
However, all ten women, as beautiful as flowers, were rejected by his mother, Mi Jiangxue.
Reading this part, Ye Zhen burst into laughter, imagining his father’s initial joy and subsequent embarrassment, realizing his hopes of taking concubines might never come to fruition in this lifetime.
