Chapter 680 - 679: Going Home
Yongzhu would probably be satisfied too.
Thinking this, Chongjin became restless, the matter had already ended, and he needed to go back and tell Yongzhu the good news.
So he got up and took his leave from Zhu Haoran.
Zhu Haoran didn’t try to detain him, only admonishing Chongjin to continue his studies diligently and if there were anything he didn’t understand, he could write to him. He also gave him a name card, instructing that if Chongjin ever came to the Capital City, he must let him know.
Chongjin thanked him, took the name card, and was sent home by someone arranged by Zhu Haoran.
Accompanying him home were several boxes of thank-you gifts.
Seeing Chongjin return, everyone crowded around. They hadn’t been able to leave the house in days and all wanted to hear what the situation outside was like.
Chongjin briefly recounted the outcomes for Wang Yongan and Gao Jin. Wang Yongping was the first to breathe a sigh of relief. Although Yongan was irredeemably bad, after all, he was a brother from the same mother. That he was spared his life was fortunate enough. As for being stripped of his title and honors, to Yongping, that was nothing more than a little silver and grain once a year.
Wang Yonggui frowned slightly, feeling that it was letting Yongan off too easily. The man had killed his own father and almost harmed his sister, yet was merely stripped of his title—that was too lenient, wasn’t it?
Old Granny Zhang was full of discontent: "That beast killed his father and was involved in that mine, yet he’s not locked in prison for ten or eight years?"
This didn’t make sense, did it?
