The Secret He Kept
Xing was sitting in the Temple of the god of wind with her great-grandson who was two years old. She'd always visit the temple with her children often whenever she is in the capital city and this time only her great-grandson joined her.
She did it to let Fei Lian see her children even though she knew he can watch over them just from anywhere. She just would come here, offer him her usual sweet buns and would talk to him for some time before leaving.
It has been a year since the Emperor has passed away and Xing noticing Chenglei's saddened state, she urged him to travel with her and they visited their daughters who were living peacefully.
As Xing was thinking of consoling Chenglei, she didn't know his thoughts were entirely different and he was sad for another reason, entirely.
'If my brother left, it won't be far for my wife to leave me too'
