Li Nuo and Song Jiaren walked into their own courtyard.
Song Yiren followed them in.
She couldn't understand.
Why couldn't Song Jiaren do the things that a husband and wife should do together, couldn't bear offspring for the Li Family, yet he still favored her—was Song Jiaren really that great?
Li Nuo turned his head to look back and asked, "Is there something you need?"
Song Yiren, with her hands clasped behind her back, replied, "Nothing really, this is my home, can't I just look around?"
Li Nuo shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course, you can."
This place belonged to the Song Family, and the wife was like a daughter married off; speaking of which, it was Li Nuo and she who were the outsiders.
Li Nuo returned to his room, unfolded some rice paper, and planned to paint another portrait for his wife.
The previous masterpiece had been deceitfully taken by Song Yiren; he wanted to paint another one for his wife.
