Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Doctor Shen untied the pouch that his wife had personally made for him and gave it to Jiang Yue and the others, asking them to hand it over to his wife. Once his wife sees the pouch, she will be more at ease and she will meet him soon.

When Jiang Yue, Xue Yan, and Xue Sihu passed by Jing Yue on their way back, they met up with Princess Jin once more. However, they only spoke for a short while. They did not go to Prince Ying’s residence. After that, they continued on their way back.

Emperor Hao received Duan Huai’s memorial. He was shocked and couldn’t believe it.

However, even if he could accept Duan Huai… Da Ling and the Northern Battlefront Army would not tolerate a general who killed his father and had an affair with his stepmother. This trend could not be allowed to continue. Therefore, the Emperor agreed to Duan Huai’s resignation as the Northern Battlefront General. However, since Duan Huai had contributed a lot to Da Ling, the Emperor did not punish him for any crime.

When Duan Huai received his edict, he learned that the merits and demerits were offset and that the Emperor was not going to punish him.

Duan Huai was even more ashamed of the outcome.

First, he thanked the heavens for their kindness. After thinking about it, he still felt that he had no face to live in this world. In the end, he committed suicide in front of his father’s grave.

If this was just a small rumor, not many people would believe it. The main reason it was believable was that Duan Huai’s youngest brother looked too similar to Duan Huai. Previously, everyone had never suspected this because Duan Huai was an upright and righteous person. Now that this matter had come to light, everyone naturally came to a realization and asserted that this was not a rumor. It was true.

Duan Huai’s stepmother could not defend herself and could not accept being shamed. Moreover, Duan Huai was dead. Duan Huai’s wives and concubines took this matter seriously and cursed her every day. In the end, she hanged herself with a white silk.

The poor son of Duan Huai was left alone to receive guidance from the others. Duan Huai’s wives and concubines would not treat him well at all.

Fortunately, Xue Yan and Jiang Yue left the Cloud Guards to deal with the aftermath. The child was innocent, so the Cloud Guards concealed his identity and sent him to a middle-aged couple who had no children and were extremely kind. The middle-aged couple’s family background was mild, and they liked the child at first glance. The child also liked the middle-aged couple very much, thinking that the middle-aged couple were good people. Others would only give him pointers, but the middle-aged couple only felt sorry for his innocence at such a young age.

In the future, this child would be the son of the middle-aged couple. The middle-aged couple would raise him. He was filial to the middle-aged couple and sent them off in their old age. The end.

Jiang Yue, Xue Yan, and Xue Sihu finally arrived at Pingan Town in Xinyuan County.

Previously, they had taken a carriage out of the house. Now that they were going back, it would not be good for them to ride back on a horse. They planned to return to the shop first and change into a carriage before going home.

He also wanted to tell Shen Yuxuan and Madam Shen that Doctor Shen was safe and on his way back. He also wanted to give the pouch to Madam Shen so that Madam Shen would feel more at ease.

From the time he left home until now, to make his family and Shen Yuxuan’s family feel at ease, Xue Yan would not only write letters to his family every few days, but he would also write letters to Shen Yuxuan to update him on the progress.

Naturally, Madam Shen had heard that her husband was safe and sound. However, no matter how many letters or words of comfort she received, they could not compare to the peace of mind she felt when she saw this pouch. Madam Shen held the pouch tightly and cried.

Shen Yuxuan was also very happy. His father was already on his way back. It would not be long before he and his mother would see his father!
