Though her reaction was swift, First Old Master Fan had already grasped the truth. A chill settled over his heart.
Under his stern interrogation, Fan Ruyin reluctantly admitted her mistake. With Old Lady Fan unwilling to intervene, she found herself caught in a vicious cycle. "Since you've asked, we're family after all. I might as well tell you! We need to find a solution to this. We're in this together, for better or worse!"
Old Lady Fan remained silent, leaving Fan Ruyin to explain.
Initially hesitant, Fan Ruyin stumbled over her words as she tried to deflect.
Facing First Old Master Fan's relentless questioning, she had no choice but to come clean.
