Ji Hao fell silent for a moment before asking, "How is Ying Wenhai?"
He had asked about his family after he regained consciousness, but his grandmother had only told him to rest and recover, not to worry about external affairs; in truth, he felt too unwell to inquire further.
Wei Ting perked up, looked around, and seeing that the only other person in the room was an old maid trusted by Old Madam Ji, he didn't avoid her and whispered, "The trial began today. You don't know, but his stepmother... she's really something..."
He then described the court proceedings in detail; Ji Hao was gobsmacked and finally said, "The incident at Spring Breeze Pavilion was really instigated by his stepmother? That's not right, why is there even a trial? Shouldn't this be something our two families discuss and resolve together?"
Wei Ting looked at him with disdain, "You almost lost your life; how could it have been resolved privately between the two families?"
