Chapter 1384: Chapter 1384: Husband ProsperityOn the day of posting the gold list, Ming Rui went to keep watch over the list with several younger brothers.
Liufeng saw Ming Rui and the others, "Why have you all come?"
Ming Rui said, "We care about our brother-in-law and don’t want to wait at home for the news, so we came to accompany our brother-in-law to keep vigil."
