Don't Ask, Don't Tell, Don't Talk

When they returned to the town, it was already dark.

Wei Shilai sent Liu Sanniang back before returning to the government office.

Liu Sanniang only left a letter when she went out, so her family was very worried. When they saw her return, they were relieved.

No one in the family asked why Liu Sanniang went out. They had formed a tacit understanding of not to ask, say, or talk.

After dinner, Liu Sanniang returned to her room and continued embroidering. When Madam Wei came in, Liu Sanniang was embroidering under the candlelight. Madam Wei walked to Liu Sanniang's side. "Sanniang, the date of Yinniang's marriage has been set."

Liu Sanniang put down the needle in her hand. "When?"

Thinking of Liu Yinniang, who walked into the darkness with Liu Shun in her dream, Liu Sanniang sighed. After being reborn, she was different, and many things were different.
