Late at night.
Torrential rain poured down in Kyoto Prefecture, bringing a biting spring chill, as the night wind battered the trees in the garden behind Duke Jingye Mansion, branches clashing with loud rustling sounds.
Accompanied by the pattering of raindrops on the pond, faint sobs came from the pavilion.
"Thirty-eight years, thirty-eight years..."
"My Zhou Family still has descendants!!"
Zhou Tiance, with tears streaming down his face, his wrinkled visage contorted as gnarly as an old demon.
Before the stone table, Chen Yuan sat expressionless, completely unaffected by him, quietly sipping wine.
Chen Ke sat beside the two, pouring wine for them while attentively looking after Zhou Tiance.
"Mr. Yuan, congratulations on inheriting the Marquis position," Chen Ke raised his cup with a smile.
"Damnation!"
Just as he finished speaking, Zhou Tiance cursed, saying, "What Mr. Yuan? Call him Marquis!"
