Every morning, I went to He Mu Ge, House of Harmony, to pay respects to my adoptive parents. Yi Fu preferred not to look at me whenever I bowed low to them, but Yi Mu was always eager to invite me for tea.
Qin had asked around the house, and it was said that Yi Mu had always wanted a daughter. She bore three sons for Yi Fu, all of them contributing the nation in their own ways.
Han Yong, the eldest son, had already taken a Wife and lived in Han Manor's Hu Yue Ge (House of Leaping Tigers). He had gone to live with his Wife's family for the winter, to bring their two children to see their maternal grandparents.
The 34-year-old had yet to return, though the servants did say that they would be back by New Year's. He was a General under the Minister for War - newly appointed by the Emperor after how he had aided the people who were starving in the winters.
