Grand Chancellor Zhao's words kept replaying in Xiang Ziwei's mind continuously as he stood by the door. Xiang Ziwei could barely look away from the Grand Chancellor.
He was shocked to hear this from Grand Chancellor Zhao. This was a man he had trusted and respected for decades. Even after he had discovered Zhao Ronglei and Xiang ziwei's betrayal.
Xiang Ziwei had assumed that his father-in-law was not aware of their shameful actions but Grand chancellor Zhao's words proved otherwise.
"Why", he muttered, searching the older man's face for a little insight or clue into the reason for his actions but found nothing. Death did not give him a sudden insight into the human mind.
These short minutes that he waited by the door had to be the longest 15 minutes of his life. He followed the grand chancellor into the Pavillion when the door was pushed open.
