ch 555 - Crux of The Problem; An Embarrassed Person 3 (2/2)

“Housemaster, your duty is to ensure that the Cheng’s will carry on. That is the first and foremost. I urge you to give this proposition serious consideration.”

“……” Cheng Yutang wasn’t moved by his words at all, as though he didn’t care about the lives of those in his group.

The two elders exchanged a look and were able to see the resignation in each other’s eyes.

Finally, Fifth Elder thought about it for a bit and finally said, “Housemaster, you should know that Madam Housemaster is still alive. If we are right about it, she was saved and taken away by Cheng Biyuan and his daughter. Do you not want to go look for her, Housemaster?”

“……”

Cheng Yutang, looking downward, seemed to finally has a change in his emotions, but he still didn’t say a word.

They’ve already brought out the trump card and it the person in front of them still wasn’t moved.

All they could do other than sighing was to smile bitterly.

And if they have to leave Capital City, they needed a new place to stay. So, the question was, where could they settle down in for some resemblance of a peaceful life? They had been talking about it for a long time and had yet to figure something out.

Not that they couldn’t think of any places, but more they knew what kind of troubles they would face in the future.

Everybody had heard about what had happened to the Cheng’s. As much, they would probably receive very little help no matter where they went. Contrarily, many would try to take the opportunity to take advantage of them. Their days would be difficult no matter where they went.

Not to mentioned that they only have several hundreds of taels remaining between all of them. How’d that be enough to for them to settle down at a new place? Several hundred of taels wasn’t even enough for them to get a place to live in. Not to mentioned that they wouldn’t last much longer with their expenditure on room and board recently.
