At the residence of the wealthiest merchant in the imperial capital city, He Xuanren, the patriarch of the He Clan, sat at the round dining table and looked at his wife and children.
After a whole night of thinking, he had made his decision and said, "Madam, please make the preparations. We are leaving the capital today."
Hearing this, his wife asked with a hint of anxiety in her soft voice, "But husband, there is drought and disaster everywhere. Where can we go if we leave the capital?"
He Xuanren fell into silence for a few seconds and asked, "Madam, have you heard what happened last night in the imperial palace?"
Madam He nodded and sighed, "I have. Is this decision because of the imperial chef's execution last night?"
