Chapter 756: As Sweet As The Beginning

Xin He smirked and said, "You're just realizing now that you're living a blissful life? Look at how you are with your son on a daily basis!"

Marquis Mu seemed to recall something and smiled lightly, "Well, I may not be as capable as Duan Lan who, in the past two years, has gathered a handful of women in his harem. I hear the Emperor recently conferred him the title of Marquis, not to mention, one of his concubines just gave birth to a chubby little boy, quite a double celebration."

Xin He smiled faintly, "The Emperor has no choice but to depend on Duan Lan now. I wouldn't be surprised if he was given the title of a prince, let alone a marquis. As for the women he has married, they all seem to be of importance. Marriage alliances are indeed the best way to win over courtiers."

It seems that for Duan Lan right now, the allure of power far exceeds any familial feelings. Maybe... this can be considered letting go?
