Chapter 75 - Supporting the Coffin and Proceeding

Chapter 75: Chapter 69 Supporting the Coffin and ProceedingThis time, the court’s escape involved many people, including the palace concubines, court officials, and the imperial guard protecting them. Additionally, there were officials and nobles’ families who heard the news and fled the city with them.

Therefore, the number of people was large and chaotic, making information collection difficult. Zhao Ji didn’t know that Mr. Chen, who fell behind, had been found and brought back with the Zhao Family’s retinue.

Moreover, Zhao Ji didn’t recognize Ji Ping and might not be able to identify him even if they met face-to-face.

So by the time Zhao Ji organized his people, Ji Ping had also bought provisions.

Early the next morning, Zhao Ji’s people set out first, while Ji Ping and his group, carrying provisions and newly prepared carts, quietly departed with this batch of provisions.

Mrs. Wang’s tears gradually stopped.

Qing Gu looked at Fu Tinghan with satisfaction, "It’s audacious to say, but how many can compare to such character and appearance as the son-in-law in this world? The second family benefited so much from our family; not to mention Second Uncle and Dalang, even if the great master had one-tenth of his filial piety, we wouldn’t be here."

"But after all, the great master is an outsider and shares your rank. How much benefit does his filial piety give you? So fate specially arranged the son-in-law, who is family, he’s filial. You, Third Lady, and Second Son now have reliance."

The retinue from behind watched Fu Tinghan walking with the coffin and felt moved, even Zhao Dian couldn’t help but contemplate. If Fu Tinghan became the master of the first household, staying with the first household might not be impossible.
