Shi Nian'an had interacted with Zuo Xingyun before and always felt that he wasn't that kind of person, "But Zuo Xingyun has really been beyond reproach when it comes to you. Because of you, he's been good to those around you too. Like when he offered us the space for our shop, I benefited from it. And there's the matter with my brother's family; we owe it all to his reminder. By comparison, I don't understand your Uncle Lu, and I'm more inclined to favor Zuo Xingyun. I find it hard to believe that someone like him would seek revenge on your father because of troubles he brought upon himself. Before seeking revenge, he would've had to consider breaking ties with you, right? So why is he still being nice to you?"
