Inside the old Fu residence…
Fu Chen held a white porcelain wine cup between his fingers and rubbed it with his fingertips as his ink-like eyes darkened.
Every time they mentioned the age gap between Song Fengwan and Fu Sinian, he felt as though they were talking about him.
An old cow eating young grass.
Fu Wan asked Song Fengwan a bit about her recent situation and chatted with Old Madam Fu while Shen Dongwen poured the Maotai wine for Old Master Fu. The two of them were drinking and talking about mundane politics and state affairs.
They finished the meal at around ten. Huai Sheng had long become sleepy, so Uncle Zhong brought him upstairs to sleep. Naturally, Shen Dongwen and Fu Wan stayed at the old Fu residence. Shen Jinye was unwilling to stay here, so he followed Fu Chen home, and the others returned to their own homes.
