A middle-aged woman was standing in front of Mrs. Zhang, wiping her tears. Her eyes glistened with tears, and her voice choked with emotion.
"Fifth Sister, we haven't seen each other for many years. Although you said back then that you wanted to sever ties with your brother and have had no contact for years, after all, you share the same blood."
"This time, your brother came to help you as a relief envoy, only asking for a few rooms to rest. How could that be a problem? You must know that our whole family was impeached and demoted to the provinces because we were implicated in your exile!"
Faced with the woman's veiled accusations, Mrs. Zhang's expression was also unpleasant.
Although the severance of relations between the two families was a fact, it was also true that they were implicated.
Mr. Ruan, knowing his wife's predicament, kindly spoke.
"We understand that you need a few rooms to rest, given the long journey, which is extremely difficult."
