Zhu Cheng felt a complex mix of emotions upon hearing Zhu Yu praise his second son, Zhu Feng.
"You need not persuade me; my mind is made up. This matter is of great importance, and I absolutely cannot trust Zhu Jie with it. I must take the journey myself," he sighed slowly, waving his hand at Zhu Yu.
Zhu Yu seemed inclined to keep persuading him, but Lu Qing pulled her aside: "No need to persuade him further. Though your concerns for your father's safety are filial, your father-in-law's considerations are not without reason."
He looked at Zhu Cheng: "If you are willing, Father-in-law, I can accompany you on the journey, both as a witness and to affirm that the instigator of these troubles was the Pang Family, having no connection with you."
"That would be excellent!" At this moment, Zhu Cheng was, instead, free from worries about these matters, eager for Lu Qing to accompany him and assist, agreeing without hesitation.
