"What can Second Brother possibly do?" Xiangyu had little hope for Zuo Ziteng.
"Although it was the Old Madam who spoke to Third Sister about this matter, it surely had Father's approval." Zuo Xiangning analyzed, "Even though Second Brother doesn't hold much sway in front of Father, he is a son, and his words naturally carry more weight than ours. Plus, three cobblers add up to a Zhuge Liang."
Xiangyu had Yu Tao quickly go find Zuo Ziteng.
After a while, Yu Tao ran back, "The Second Master is not in. The people in his courtyard said that these past few days he's been leaving early and returning late. He might not be back until midnight, and even if he does come back, he's often so drunk he's unconscious."
At a critical time like this, there's no one to rely on!" Xiangyu lay on the table, sobbing again, "If only my maternal aunt were alive, how wonderful that would be? She would definitely help me think of a solution."
Zuo Xiangning let out a light sigh.
