Chapter 27: Grace
In the depths of Zhao Estate, in a small building, the Seventh Young Master stood behind heavy curtains, lowering his head, not looking at the Madam on the couch, standing a full yard away from her.
No one spoke.
The maid beside the couch barely breathed, and the young girls who had been playing soft tunes in the corner had already quietly left.
The only sound came from the wind moving the curtain, causing the jade rings hanging from it to clink with a soft, rhythmic sound. Other than that, there was no noise.

The Seventh Young Master remained silent, not speaking or lifting his head.
