Zhang Yulan's Resentment

Unlike his sister who was showing a dark face, Zhang Ermu was calm and even had a smile on his face. He had already heard about what happened to Lin Muai and the reasons for her stay with Liu Piao. 

In fact, he had been expecting her to come and borrow his bullock cart. After two days with no word, he had assumed they wouldn't have any chance to interact, leaving him slightly disappointed. 

But now that Liu Pan had finally shown up, he felt a glimmer of hope in his heart. As long as he seizes this opportunity, he and she will still have a chance.

Standing up, Zhang Ermu greeted him politely, "Brother Liu, what brings you to my house today?"

Liu Pan hesitated for a moment, feeling a bit awkward. He was well aware of the tension between Zhang Ermu's family and his own, particularly due to the actions of his second uncle and his second wife.
