Chen Taixing scrutinized him closely, saying enthusiastically, "You've grown taller and even more handsome. You are truly the seed of our Chen Family, haha..."
"If your brother heard this, he'd be ready to smack you one."
"Your Highness is too kind, haha..."
At this moment, Chen Yi turned to look behind him and only then noticed that not only was Chen Taixing present, but there were also carriages bearing the flags of Prince Zhenbei and Duke Xing.
Duchess Xing, Zhu Yu, leaped out of the carriage and upon seeing Lin Xueru among the crowd, her eyes immediately reddened:
"Ru Ru!"
"Mother!"
Lin Xueru, disregarding everything else, ran over to her.
And Duke Xing, Du Qing, came in person. As soon as he made an appearance, all the guards outside the city gates knelt down.
"Greetings to Your Highness!"
Even the onlookers around knelt down, except for Gu Tiangang and Cao Abao, who stood aloof, unaffected by the affair.
