Ye Chongshan's wake lasted for seven days before the funeral procession. Zhu Ju was invited to attend and would not be leaving Hejian Prefecture for the time being.
"Don't leave."
On the way back, Luu Pu didn't ask why the Ye Family had asked him to stay. Instead, he said:
"I know you've had some good fortune in Leping County, but it's a small place, after all. It can't compare to the Prefecture City."
"Besides..."
"Here, you can also visit your sister more often."
"We'll see," Zhu Ju said, shaking his head. "My life in Leping County is quite good. I have no plans to move to the Prefecture City at the moment."
"Things are different now," Luu Pu said in a low voice. "You probably don't know the full extent of it, but the situation in Dazhou has changed. This area could be affected too. The position of Leping County Magistrate has been vacant for a while, hasn't it?"
Zhu Ju's gaze flickered. "It has."
It had been two years.
