Chapter 523 - 523 514 About the Law
?Chapter 523: Chapter 514: About the Law Chapter 523: Chapter 514: About the Law Chu Lingqi said, “Sister-in-law, you really are insightful. If you hadn’t woken us up, if we hadn’t been prepared in advance, the casualties would have been much greater.”
Captain Li also said, “Yes, the wind was strong last night. If we hadn’t been prepared, I don’t know what this estate would have been burnt to.”
Chen Afu quickly said, “Perhaps it was divine protection. I suddenly felt uneasy last night, always fearing that something would happen. Who knew, something really did happen.” He then asked, “How are the injured? Are any lives in danger?”

He served the court faithfully for many years, wearing himself to the bone. Yet his ex-wife, granddaughter, and so many other relatives were murdered and harmed time and again under the clear sky and in daylight… These people did not leave survivors, but everyone is not stupid. My father-in-law can guess who is behind this, and both the Emperor and the Crown Prince, who are even wiser, can guess as well … Moreover, my mother-in-law’s son, my husband, Chu-er’s father is still on the front line risking his life for the court! No matter what, my father-in-law will demand justice from the Emperor…”
