5th elder then recollected he had received some gifts early that week from Mo Ai. He thought she was trying to curry their favour in case she would marry his nephew. Who would have thought that these ones were already married.
"You already got married? How did we not know of it? Why wasnt there a ceremony?" He looked over to 1st elder to say something.
"This...I already knew."
"Brother..." 5th elder whined. "Am I the only one left in the dark?"
It was rare for 5th elder to adress 1st elder as brother. He only said that whenever he needed support or something important from 1st elder.
"Its only common sense." 1st elder countered.
Xiao Ai jumped into the talk. "Its my fault. I should have come to visit personally." She looked down at her hands and spoke in a sullen voice. "I have been so busy with work but I shouldn't have taken this matter lightly. I am sorry. I will do better next time."
