"This…"
Several veterans of the Archives Department looked at Chu Tianxiong, who couldn't wait to leave, with wide eyes.
They pulled Mr. Zhong, who was standing beside them, and started to complain.
"Oh, Zhong, look at this. What kind of attitude is this from our Lord? Is this the attitude to discuss important national matters?"
"It's outrageous! We are from the Archives Department. As high-ranking officials, we are not as important as his granddaughter. What kind of reasoning is this?"
"Recently, Lord Chu has completely lost his mind. He's completely enchanted by his little granddaughter."
Feeling helpless, Mr. Zhong could only console them repeatedly: "Everyone, please calm down. Don't get angry, don't get angry."
"I have served in the Lord's residence for a lifetime, serving the Lord for decades. Speaking from the bottom of my heart, in all these years, I have never seen the Lord so happy, so delighted."
He sighed with emotion and said, "The Lord is exhausted. Please let him rest for a few days and enjoy some family time. I beg you all."
"You all have children and grandchildren, a house full of descendants, but the Lord, his son, is still on the frontlines, shedding blood and killing enemies."
These words silenced the veterans.
They felt a mix of sadness and complexity and felt ashamed to say anything. They just shook their heads and sighed before leaving one after another.
"Farewell, sirs." Mr. Zhong respectfully saw off the ministers of the Archives Department.
He turned around and looked toward the study, where Chu Tianxiong, accompanied by Duo Duo's joyful play, constantly smiled. He still stood tall, but white hairs were growing on his head.
He was no longer the Lord Chu, the legendary guardian adored by billions of Donghua citizens, who stood above everyone else.
He was just an ordinary old man, a man who had carried loneliness for decades and moved forward with burdens and nothing more.
"If Master Feng could see this scene, how wonderful would it be?"
