Joy of Life - Chapter 719

Such oppressive tension and ripples did not take long to spread to the street in the south of Jingdou. Countless noble families lived on this street. Everyone’s fearful and suspicious gazes were focused on one family: the Fan manor.

The Fan manor was as usual. There was no panic, sorrow, or tension. Those meant to boil water, boiled water. Those meant to prepare food, prepared food. The results of Fan Xian’s negotiation with the Emperor in the Palace was clearly not reflected in the manor. The mistress of the manor, Lin Wan’er, did not take her family and leave the capital to return to Danzhou during this short period of time with the Emperor’s implicit consent. She continued to remain in the manor in a somewhat terrifying silence. She sat in the Flower Hall and waited for the return of her man. If he didn’t come back, what purpose was there in her leaving Jingdou?

“Why is Ruoruo still not up?” Lin Wan’er smiled warmly, but there was a faint sorrow in her smile. She looked at Sisi, who was feeding a child, and asked, “Did you call her?”

As she spoke, the young lady of the Fan family, who had just been released from the Royal Palace last night, walked in slowly from outside the hall. She was as clean as usual with the usual coldness between her brows. The shoes on her feet were stained with a drop of snow. She looked at her sister-in-law and smiled. She then sat down by the table. Picking up her chopsticks, her hand holding the chopsticks was steady and did not tremble at all.
