The dinner concluded in a lively manner.
Old Mrs. Chen sent the children away and accompanied Song Xian to sit in the main room. A moment later, Xie Liangchen and Xu Tingzhen followed them inside.
Chen Zigeng tidied up the courtyard. Once the gate was closed, silence descended.
Xie Liangchen served tea to everyone, and Chen Zigeng took the opportunity to sneak into the room and sit in the corner.
Xie Liangchen glanced at Song Xian. In the presence of others, General Song, as always, appeared righteous and authoritative. If not for the moments when he looked at her unabashedly when others weren't noticing, one might think that the conversation in the east room had never happened.
In this regard, Xie Liangchen greatly admired Song Xian. His skills were quite profound, showing no trace of abnormality.
Xu Tingzhen was the first to ask, "General Song, what about Cui He?"
