章 645: Burden on my Heart

Jian Guozhi finished the wine jar and stood up. The words of Huo Jin reverberated in his mind. He wavered a little but balanced himself. Eunuch Long had lit the lanterns earlier, so the room was well illuminated. However, he walked out of his chamber.

Though he never discussed this to anyone, his nights had turned sleepless after her death. In everyone's eyes, he did the righteous thing– first, punished his own mother and then his first wife. But deep inside his heart, he still was not able to cope with their loss.
