Chen Shi returned to the Chen Mansion, but did not see Chen Tang, feeling a bit puzzled in his heart.
"Ever since my father stopped attending court, he seldom goes out, staying at home day in day out, constantly finding fault with me. How is it he's willing to go out today?"
He pushed his mother's wheelchair out to bask in the sun, helping her stretch and loosen up her body.
After trimming his mother's fingernails, Chen Shi moved on to working each of her finger joints.
Usually Chen Tang would do this, but when Chen Tang was not home, Chen Shi took over.
The boatman and his daughter had gone to the underworld and hadn't returned for over a month, which made him slightly uneasy, uncertain if they would be able to retrieve his mother's soul.
"Father and daughter are clever, they shouldn't encounter danger," he murmured softly.
