At that time, Chen Pu, who was slightly older, had hidden Chen Benshuang, who was only nine years old at the time, while he alone went out to face those enemies. He was tortured severely by those enemies, who forced him to disclose the whereabouts of Chen Benshuang, but Chen Pu endured steadfastly.
In the end, when the Chen Family found Chen Benshuang and returned with her, Chen Pu was already on his last breath. Moreover, in order to force him to reveal the whereabouts of Chen Benshuang, the enemies had even castrated him.
Although Chen Pu was rescued back to the Chen Family, their lineage was essentially finished.
However, because he had saved Chen Benshuang, he had established some merit and was taken back to the Chen Family of the Capital. For some time afterward, he followed closely by Chen Benshuang's side, essentially becoming a sort of servant to her.
