Capítulo 718: Chapter 718: Took the Blame_1

Duke Ning began, "I've been wanting to meet you two young men for a while, but I have been recuperating; thank you both for what happened that day."

Chang Lian was somewhat shocked; he hadn't expected the Duke to personally say thank you. He hurriedly said, "Anyone passing by at that time would have lent a hand, my younger brother and I just happened to be there, and moreover, the Duke Residence has already sent a gift of thanks. Your gratitude makes me feel ashamed."

Rongchuan also quickly added, "We were merely doing what we should."

Duke Ning grew fonder of Zhou Shuren, thinking if Zhou could raise his sons so well, no wonder the Emperor held him in high regard. Of course, most importantly, Zhou's family had taken in Rongchuan. "Look at you, standing up again as you speak. Please, sit down, there's no need to be so formal."
