He did not want to burden his older brother, though, so he kept mum about this event.
Plus, with him being an upright and honest man, he was even more unwilling to mention it to his brother.
Only at this time, when Yun Yecheng had rushed back to his hometown to settle the funeral, did he learn about this matter. His heart was full of turmoil.
His younger brother had always been fulfilling his filial piety duties on his behalf for many years, yet he only learned about the former's condition after a whole year had already passed! When the latter saw the former lying paralyzed in bed and how his complexion had changed a great deal, he suddenly felt extremely guilty.
He felt as if he had let his little brother down.
After settling the funeral matters, he began to have thoughts of bringing his little brother back to the city!
With the limited years they had left, he wanted to treat his brother well.
