"But why did Master keep these things from me?"
Ye Yushi was puzzled and couldn't help but ask.
Jian Qiuchi took a breath and continued, "After Hongzhu passed away, your father sat by your mother's grave day and night, emaciated and lost, it was heartbreaking to watch..."
At this point, not only Ye Yushi, but even Chen Tang sensed something unusual.
Reflecting on what Jian Qiuchi said earlier, the three of them traveled through the Ba Mountain Range together back then, perhaps both women had feelings for Ye Xuan.
However, later on, Ye Xuan had eyes only for Chu Hongzhu.
Jian Qiuchi said softly, "I naively thought that after Hongzhu's death, perhaps he and I could have a chance, and I hinted at him, only to be rejected."
Ye Yushi frowned, looked at Jian Qiuchi with a complex expression, hesitating to speak, "So..."
Jian Qiuchi's expression was one of shame, mixed with some regret, she opened her mouth as if to say something but ultimately turned it into a deep sigh and left.
