Ye Chutang remained at Feiyun Temple with Xiao Wu. After coming up empty-handed and waiting in vain, Ye Shixian had no choice but to return, filled with resentment.
'If I wait any longer, no one will think Ye Chutang is being unreasonable. They'll just think I'm the one pushing things too far.'
'After all, what could be more important than one's own parents and older brother?'
When she returned to the small, remote, and simple courtyard, Mrs. Gao was surprisingly still awake, waiting for her in the yard.
"Xian'er!"
Seeing her return, Mrs. Gao immediately perked up. She rose and hurried forward, her expression urgent,
"How did it go? Is she willing to help?"
Ye Shixian was exhausted and couldn't even be bothered to humor her. Her expression was indifferent as she remained silent.
Shaoyao couldn't help but purse her lips. "Madam, you'd best not ask. Miss went all the way there today and didn't even get to see her!"
