Jiang Weizhe stayed silent.
Old Madam became increasingly anxious with his quietness.
Jiang Weizhe tilted his head. "Lixue said to leave everything on us now. Before she left, she said this, right?"

He didn't respond.
"Going to Jiang Shan and sacrificing yourself is not the option."
It felt as if thunder struck her, and she rooted to her place. "J-Jiang Shan?" She wiped her forehead. "What are you saying, Weizhe? Why are you suddenly bringing him up? Don't you know that he is dead?"
"Jiang Shan is alive, isn't he?"
She clenched the stick in her palm.
