"My lord!"
As Chen Donghe entered the family door, people on both sides called him "My lord." The title burned uncomfortably in his heart, but he could not bring himself to speak against it.
Before Chen Erniu died, they had met one last time. Chen Donghe sobbed, unable to utter a word. Chen Erniu grasped his hand and said hoarsely,
"From now on, act boldly. Father won't blame you. You're a smart child who knows how to conduct affairs. Guard the family well."
Chen Erniu understood Chen Donghe's inner conflict. Although marrying into another family was a mutual decision, Chen Erniu no longer cared about the surname. Had it not been for Li Mutian's father Li Genshui who had saved him, there wouldn't be a Chen Family to speak of today. Moreover, within the Li Family's territory, they didn't have the conditions to refuse.
