Su Wen looked at Su Qing and Su Xiu. The two of them shook their heads, indicating that they did not know what Yao Fang was about to say.
These few days, Yao Fang would come to look for her sister from time to time. Every time, she would be sneaky, afraid that someone would see her. When they asked her what was going on, she refused to tell them.
Su Qing explained the situation to Su Wen in a low voice. Su Wen looked at Yao Fang from the corner of her eyes and could not help but be distracted.
"I'll go see what she has to say."
"Okay!"
Su Wen called out to Yao Fang and brought her to the place where the firewood was piled in the courtyard. There was originally a pomegranate tree here, but it was burned down when the fire was set. Now, Zhou Hengyang had planted a small pear sapling. The thin branches only had a single leaf in early autumn.
Sunlight shone through the leaves, forming mottled shadows.
"What's the matter? Say it!"
