Xiao Hen and Second Master Jing had just returned all the books to the Qilin Palace when Duke An's conversation with Gu Jiao was nearly at its end.
Second Lady had recently fallen ill today, so Second Master Jing needed to leave early and, pushing his elder brother's wheelchair, bid farewell to Xiao Hen and Gu Jiao.
In the corridor, Xiao Hen watched the two brothers depart and remarked, "Though they are not born of the same mother, their relationship as brothers is still quite good."
Second Master Jing wasn't very astute, and his wife was gentle and virtuous. For Duke An to have such a brother and sister-in-law was indeed fortunate.
Of course, it was also lucky for the young couple to have a magnanimous brother like Duke An.
A united family is, in fact, more precious than any wealth or honor.
Seeing that Gu Jiao remained silent, Xiao Hen stepped into the room only to find Gu Jiao sitting in her wheelchair, quietly staring into the Courtyard, lost in thought.
