Chapter 554 Go Back To The Imperial Capital (Part Two)

"Tomorrow," Matthew answered on Harper's behalf, then asked her, "Will that be good enough?"

Harper nodded and thought to herself, 'I'm almost done here in the River City. All the embroiderers are doing a good job. As long as they follow my instructions for the design and construction of those garments, I will arrange for Pearce and his wife to promote the sales. Since I don't need to monitor the business full-time, there's no need for me to stay here. I can simply have Rufus manage things in my absence.'

"Prepare a room for him so that he can freshen up. We will set off tomorrow and return to the imperial capital," Matthew then said. The situation in the imperial capital was calm then. The emperor must have been feeling guilty that Francis was seriously injured in order to protect him. He would try to compensate Francis as well as he could. Francis was his son, after a

the imperial capital. Yet he still couldn't figure out who was the real murderer of his son.

Pearce was puzzled. Jason, who was hiding outside the city, was also puzzled. He had planned to leave the River City because it would do him no good to encounter Matthew. However, when he saw Owen appear in the River City, dressed up in disguise, his curiosity held him to the spot.

Owen was a close manservant to Francis. Now that he appeared here, it could only mean that Francis was there, or that Francis sent him there, but in either case, Owen's appearance at that spot was extremely weird to Jason.

The next day, when Matthew's carriage left the official inn and headed for the imperial capital, Jason was still confused. 'Why is Uncle Matthew going back to the imperial capital with Owen at this moment? Is the situation in the imperial city already cleared up?' he pondered.
