Chapter 740 - 222 Visiting_2
"These are all trivial matters, Zhili, don’t be disheartened by them," Yin Zhan said, "The Jiang Family’s failure to keep their word will naturally come at a price. Our urgent priority is to remain in Yanjing, and once we’ve stayed in Yanjing City, the first one we must deal with is Duke Su, Jih Heng."
Yin Zhili opened his mouth, wanting to ask why, but ultimately fell silent. He had actually asked Yin Zhan this question before, but Yin Zhan wouldn’t tell him, and Yin Zhili could only let it go. Even if he were to ask today, he wouldn’t get an answer. He could only numbly agree.
When he walked out of Yin Zhan’s house, Yin Zhili’s footsteps were incredibly heavy.
Behind him, the lights in the study were bright, as if they would burn all night until dawn. Yin Zhan was such a person. He had endless official duties to attend to, even when he was in Yunzhong, where many people ridiculed him as a hollow general who would never return to Yanjing City, Yin Zhan remained the same. As a child, Yin Zhili was very puzzled, not understanding how in Yunzhong, so far from the emperor, Yin Zhan could still have so much to do every day. When he grew up, this puzzle remained unsolved, but Yin Zhili had learned not to ask, perhaps out of habit.
He walked very slowly, step by step. Unconsciously, he found himself outside Yin Zhiqing’s yard.
When he came to his senses, Yin Zhili shook his head, turned to leave, when suddenly, a voice stopped him: "Yin Zhili!"
Yin Zhili turned around and saw in the courtyard, Yin Zhiqing sitting at the stone table, looking at him with sadness.
In everyday life, she called him "Brother," but in private, she always called him by his name. Yin Zhili had indulged her, and seeing Yin Zhiqing with her face full of tears, he sighed and walked over. He looked left and right, and not seeing Madam Yin’s figure, he asked: "Mother?"
"I said I wanted to sleep and sent her away," Yin Zhiqing replied.
