Chapter 661 - 660 Back then
Not a word of resentment or blame filled the pages.
Instead, it was as if an old friend had sent sincere blessings before drifting away.
Song Hong was nearly driven mad. Qi Huan was but a weak woman who had never left the house alone before, let alone while pregnant. Once she left the house, once she left the Capital City, she wouldn’t even know which direction to take. How could she possibly seek out her family?
Not to mention that the Qi Family had been exiled thousands of miles away. She was a defenseless beauty, and outside the door, she would be like a lamb to the slaughter.
Song Hong had all his men go out to search for her, yet he himself sat trembling in Qi Huan’s room, feeling as cold as the weather outside.
He dared not think what would happen if Qi Huan met with some misfortune outside.
He knew he had wronged Qi Huan, but the hundreds of lives in the Duke Weiguo Residence were his responsibility. The education he had received since childhood was that he was the future, the hope of the Duke Weiguo Residence!
The rise or fall of the Duke Weiguo Residence all depended on him!
Song Hong had grown up in the expectant gaze of his family, the responsibility ingrained deep into his bones.
Qi Huan was the woman he loved, but the Duke Weiguo Residence was his root, his responsibility, his everything.
If he neglected the Duke Weiguo Residence for Qi Huan, for the Qi Family, he would be unfilial.
