He was in pain.
She was in pain, too.
She felt sorry for herself, yet not so much for Dong Sheng.
"..."
She always thought that Dong Sheng from before was a very good person.
Warm and cheerful, always willing to help others, and he had treated her well.
But now, looking at him again, he was far from worthless.
He was steeped in infamy.
"I came to tell you that your master said you should go home to fulfill your filial duties, and I will go back with you!"
Dong Sheng suddenly looked up.
Shock and astonishment painted his face as he turned to Xiaoyuan, "What, what did you say?"
He was to go home to fulfill his filial duties.
Could he still return to the county town?
"Aren't you a dutiful son? Your father is ill, you need to be by his bedside. Get ready to go, I will come back with you!" Xiaoyuan said softly.
Her tone was gentle and flat, devoid of emotion.
