Zhan Hui's eyes were red. It turned out that both his grandfather and father had borne such a heavy burden.
After Zhan Beicang and Zhan Xinzhang left, Zhan Hui bowed to his ancestors' tablets.
He stood up and left, heading to the back yard to knock on Zhan Lan's door.
Zhan Lan was getting ready to go to bed when she heard Zhan Hui's voice.
"Fourth Sister, can I talk to you alone?"
Zhan Lan put on her clothes, got up, and opened the door.
When she saw the redness in Zhan Hui's eyes, she was startled and then followed Zhan Hui to the old house.
There was no one in the old house, so the two of them found a pavilion to sit down in, the candlelight in the lantern illuminating their faces.
Zhan Hui began, "Fourth Sister, I really don't know who else to talk to about this."
Zhan Lan looked into Zhan Hui's eyes and said, "Are your worries because of Chu Yin, or because of General Mansion?"
