Chen Danyan hurriedly sniffled and wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
Yun Jinnian watched her, feeling particularly heartbroken.
The two walked out of the room together, entering the vast courtyard of the elder Chen. When the old Madam Chen saw Chen Danyan, she knew that the girl had been crying.
Being advanced in age and having witnessed much, including white-haired people sending off those with black hair, Madam Chen knew that the condition of Elder Chen meant his days were numbered.
And in that moment, Chen Danyan's red and swollen eyes, along with her distraught appearance, further confirmed Madam Chen's suspicions.
Taking a deep breath, "Jinnian, you go in alone!" she said.
"Yes!"
Yun Jinnian gently pushed the door and entered the room.
Elder Chen was reclining alone on the Arhat bed.
Seeing Yun Jinnian coming in, he beckoned her over. When Yun Jinnian approached, he pointed to the embroidered stool in front of him, "Sit!"
Yun Jinnian carefully sat down.
