"I must let Great Jin and the alliance be assured, otherwise how can we make them believe that establishing the Neutral Zone is solely for the relocation of the more than forty million people from the two prefectures? Very well, you may all leave!"
The four people bowed in unison. Hou Yuling and the other two left first. Only Hou Yuduan paused, his brow furrowing. He recalled Hou Yuxiao's first glance toward the back of the main hall, suddenly realized something, and halted his steps, turning back to look at Hou Yuxiao, his expression immediately complex.
"What is it?"
"Big brother, are you worried about sister-in-law?"
......
Hou Yuxiao's expression froze slightly; he didn't expect Old Fifth to notice even this.
He remained silent for a moment, then took a deep breath and said softly, "Of course, I trust Qingxue, but since it concerns the life and death of the Hou Clan, I cannot afford to be careless..."
Hou Yuduan said nothing. After a moment of silence, he left anyway.
