Seeing their hesitation, Chu Shuo, hands on his hips, angrily declared, "Are you trying to get sick on purpose so you can avoid work?"
The servants quickly denied it, terrified Chu Shuo would dismiss them. They hurriedly distributed the winter clothes and cloaks, wrapping themselves up tightly.
Grand Lady beckoned Chu Shuo over, her gaze warm with a hint of a smile. "Chu Shuo, don't belittle yourself every day. You have your strengths."
Chu Shuo looked at the storm outside the cave, unable to cheer up. "Grandmother, I wish I were stronger. Then, I could be with Father and Brother, helping them return to the capital."
He had escaped, but what about the Lu family? What about Yanyan? His heart was filled with worry.
Not just for his fiancée, but for the many friends and brothers he had in the capital, including shopkeepers and waiters--now their lives hung by a thread...
And all of this was because of that secret agent!
Thinking of this, he shot the agent another fierce glare.
