Adopted Husband.

Summary

"Four people returned from the north. The houses along the street were lit, and sounds of children and animals filled the air. Ning Yi and his companions walked through Zhang Village, discussing Tang Min Jie and another woman, Luo Ye's sister, who had suffered greatly. After inquiries in Hanzhong, Tang Min Jie confessed to his actions, which stirred conflict between the eastern and western courts. The four were separated for escort back to Chengdu, where Yu Shui Nan and Wei Su were placed under protective house arrest. Peng Yue Yun revealed that Tang Min Jie seemed to desire death, a stark contrast to the tough men in the Huaxia army. The Han lady had sent a message for Tang Min Jie to live, but without proof of her intentions. Ning Yi reflected on the complexities of the situation, feeling anger and sadness over the sacrifices made and the lives affected. As they continued their journey, Ning Yi advised Peng Yue Yun to propose to Lin Jing Mei. He planned to investigate Tang Min Jie’s case upon returning to Chengdu. The narrative shifted to Ning Yi's family, with his children having left home, leaving only daughters behind. After bidding farewell to his family, he traveled to Chengdu, contemplating the challenges ahead, including the meeting about the conflicts with the Jin Kingdom. In Chengdu, Ning Yi prepared for meetings on various pressing issues, including the situation in Liangshan and the strategic layout concerning Jin Province. He noted the potential problems arising from the lady in Jin Province backing Zou Xu, which could hinder support for their troops."
