Tears streamed down Fan Ruyin's cheeks. "Mother…"
The Second Old Master Fan cast a brief glance at Fan Ruyin, but remained silent.
Despite his dissatisfaction, he couldn't bring himself to defy his mother, nor did he entertain the thought of sacrificing his sister.
The First Old Master Fan sighed heavily and nodded. "Sister, let it be. Do not involve yourself any further in this matter."
In essence, the burden of this issue would fall upon the First Old Master Fan.
Fan Ruyin, finally feeling a pang of guilt, murmured softly, "Thank you, Elder Brother…"
Though the situation seemed resolved, Fan Ruyin still felt a lingering unease.
With trepidation gripping her, she found herself unwilling to return to face the second-in-command and the others, and so she declared her intention to stay with her mother.
Old Lady Fan consented.
The First Old Master Fan pondered their predicament. He promptly instructed Fan Ruyin to return and pacify the others with some strategic information.
