Chapter 600: Brother 1 (1/2)

When the man’s rough bellow faded from the parlour, everyone turned their attention the entrance.

Chu Lian turned in a slow, stunned manner, only to be met with the sight of a bearded middle-aged man. He was dressed in a commander’s silver armour with a sword at his waist. His figure was tall and buff, like a miniature mountain.

He Ying was equally stunned. It took a long moment before she finally called out in a tiny voice, “Brother…”

The stern expression on the matriarch faded away, replaced with unconcealed joy. She reached out to the side and Senior Servant Liu quickly supported her and helped her up.

Before she had even walked up to the middle-aged man, the old matriarch’s eyes had already turned red. She sounded on the verge of tears as she said, “My son, you’ve finally returned.”

Chu Lian finally realised that this middle-aged man who had suddenly appeared was her very own father-in-law.

She had to say that Eldest Brother resembled Count Jing’an the most…

Whether it was his figure or features, it was He Changqi who looked the most like Count Jing’an.

A rare spark of respectful admiration shone in He Changdi’s eyes when his gaze fell upon the count. The worry that Chu Lian had held for He Dalang disappeared after she saw Count Jing’an.

The novel had mentioned Count Jing’an before, and in that brief mention, Chu Lian knew that the count was a smart, level-headed person.

He had passed this trait down to He Changdi.

While Eldest Brother He Changqi was sensible when it came to external problems, he became irrationally stubborn in matters concerning the family or relationships.

Now that Count Jing’an was back, with someone pressuring He Dalang, perhaps only then would the Jing’an Estate finally recover its peace.
