Wen Qiliang spurred his horse and, upon his return to the Wen Family, arranged two matters without even catching his breath.
One was to dispatch a large group of the Wen Family's loyalists under his command as Family Head to intercept and kill Xiao Zhen; whether he was to be crippled or killed, he issued a death order that it must be carried out without fail.
Another was to send out two astute men to secretly investigate the task given by the Emperor on Ling Mountain.
After these two matters were handled, he began to prepare Wen Xirou's dowry.
Madam Wen had been bedridden for many days, assuming that Wen Qiliang would not heed her wishes and bring back Wen Xiyao, weeping every day to the point of being unable to leave her bed. To her surprise, upon Wen Qiliang's return, he actually brought back Wen Xiyao, who was originally never expected to set foot in the Wen Household again.
