Perhaps the old man was thinking about Zheng Ersao, so he kept her behind. Zheng Yuanjie said to herself as she walked out, but there was always doubt lingering in her heart.
After learning that Zheng Yuanjie and her daughter had left, Zheng Auntie's body, previously facing away from the door, turned back.
The old man couldn't eat anything and could only drink some water. Zheng Ersao got up and poured some water for him.
Zheng Auntie waved her hand and asked the two of them, "Did you go to see the Bai Family tonight?"
Upon hearing the old man's question, both Zheng Ersao and Zheng Da Aunt looked troubled. On one hand, they probably knew Zheng Auntie's temper. If the old man found out that everyone left her here while they went to cozy up to the Bai Family and invite them to dinner, the old man would throw a fit, thinking they had neglected her.
Zheng Auntie perceived her authority in the family as very significant and despised being kept out of the loop.
