Chapter 28: 28. The sixth generation and 55 Kai
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After the demon fox was killed, the servants of the Hu Family scattered and fled, leaving not a single one behind. These people were all recently recruited by the demon fox and had yet to feel any sense of loyalty to the Hu Family.
The vast Hu estate was left with only the bedridden Miss Hu; out of over a hundred and thirty people in the Hu Family, she was the sole survivor, fortunate enough to have her life spared.
Perhaps she still held some utility for the demon fox, otherwise she would have been thrown into the cellar to be devoured long ago.
Fang Zhou could only bring this lady who had narrowly escaped disaster back to the Wang Family, entrusting her to the care of Wang Fulai, a longtime friend of the Hu Family. As for whether Wang Fulai would seize the opportunity to covet the Hu estate, that was beyond Fang Zhou’s concern; it was up to Miss Hu’s own fortune.
After returning to the Wang Family, Wang Fulai was extremely shocked to hear what had happened to the Hu mansion, but she did not immediately send people to take over the Hu estate. Instead, she decided to wait for Miss Hu to regain consciousness before asking her and then making further plans.
Whether Wang Fulai’s statement was sincere or just for show, it raised people’s respect for her.
After two more days staying at the Wang Family, Ling Xiaoyue and Fang Zhou prepared to leave.
The master and disciple had originally planned only to freeload in Qingde City and incidentally solve some minor troubles for the Wang Family, but they did not anticipate spending several days here.
However, the gains were significant, and Fang Zhou’s combat experience had also improved greatly.
Outside the gates of Qingde City, almost the entire Wang Family came out to see Ling Xiaoyue and Fang Zhou off, including Miss Hu who had just woken up not long before, arriving in a carriage to bid farewell to her life-saving benefactors.
