Chapter 280 - 132: The Rise and Fall of the Duke Mansion
After leaving Shang Kingdom, where to go next?
This is the big issue now laid before Yue Jinghua.
Logically speaking, Yue Jinghua’s home is in Dragon War Empire and she bears the blood of Dragon Battle, so returning there would be the natural choice.
However, considering that she and her mother came to Shang Kingdom years ago to avoid debtors, going back is not so simple.
Lie Rou originally brought Yue Jinghua to Shang Kingdom both to seek refuge at Lie Family Mansion, and because Yue Jinghua was engaged to Fa Xiaoyi, with the thought that after their marriage, having her husband’s support, Lie Rou could rest easy.
But who knew that Fa Xiaoyi would turn out to be a disaster with the ambition of a wild wolf, causing Lie Family Mansion to fall apart, and Lie Rou, being a woman with no firm resolution, was left unsure of where to go for a while.
The Duke Mansion in Dragon War Empire is steeped in debt, and among those creditors, many are extremely ruthless. Recklessly returning could lead to entanglement by the creditors. Yue Minzhi is currently still training at Dragon Rider Camp in the Imperial City, with no one to care for him; it’s not the best time to return to Wohua Imperial City.
The feeling of not being able to return home is tough to endure, Lie Rou thought of Yue Minzhi, who had been alone defending the Duke Mansion in the Imperial City for three years, her eyes dimming.
Seeing this, Yue Jinghua asked Hongling to first send her and Yue Chen back. Although the little boy was visibly reluctant, a glare from Yue Jinghua made him obediently leave with Lie Rou.
After sending Lie Rou away, Yue Jinghua then turned to Hongling and asked, "Exactly how much external debt does the Duke Mansion have?"
