Zhai Muchen also noticed the subtle changes in Old Madam Han's expression and understood that there was something wrong with the Han family, but he was neither a close relative nor a friend, so he couldn't ask anything. Zhai Muchen stayed at the Han family house for ten minutes, discussed a few things with Old Madam Han and then stood up on his feet.
Looking at his watch, he said to Old Madam Han, "I should get going now, Grandma. There are a few things that need my attention in the army."
When Han Ruochen heard his words, she almost rolled her eyes. Did this man not know that he was needed in the army till now? Looking at the man in front of her, Han Ruochen felt a bit torn. A part of her, one that she had inherited from her grandmother, still very much respected Zhai Muchen, but at the same time, the part that was still tied to her past made her feel rather wary and disgusted over Zhai Muchen's presence.
