Tang Mei was first stunned, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and then slowly relaxed.
"Ah, it's all grandma's fault for dragging you into this. Those people might be afraid... of the secret being leaked, so that's why they... but from now on..."
She hesitated, her words faltering.
Tang Xiaowan bit her lower lip, quietly watching, waiting, and stifling her emotions.

"Grandma, are you keeping something from me, trying to think of the right words to deceive me, is that it?"
Those eyes seemed to penetrate everything with a fiery intensity that made it hard to look directly at her.
Tang Mei cleared her throat, scolding, "Nonsense, why would grandma lie to you! Alright, no more talk, go to sleep, it's so late, it's almost dawn."
With that, she yawned greatly.
Her voice was very loud—if someone had been outside the door at that moment, they certainly would have heard it.
Tang Xiaowan pouted, staring at the ceiling.
