Yue Lan also knelt before Lord Yue's bed.
Leaning on the pillow, Lord Yue asked him, "The house was in chaos before and I forgot to ask, you mentioned a friend of the Second Lady came to visit on the day Fu Wenhua arrived, who was this old friend?"
Yue Lan's wounds on his face had just gotten better, and he had been through much turmoil recently. Now he answered with extra caution, "The visitor's name is Zhou Man. I did not know before, only thought she was a doctor. Only later did I learn that she was the Second Lady's close friend from her youth."
Lord Yue felt a headache coming and asked, "Besides her, was there also a Young Master that came along with her?"
"Yes, a man named Bai Shan. He said he was a student at the Imperial Academy. I wanted to make his acquaintance, but I didn't expect that Fu Wenhua would come that day, leading to a conflict and making us the laughingstock..."
So, the next day, he didn't have the face to show up.
