"Lan Ying, come out for a moment."
Li Guangyou called for his wife again.
"Guangyou, what is it?"
Li Guangyou's wife stepped out of the kitchen.
"It's nothing, you go back and help dad cook."
Li Guangyou casually dismissed his wife, telling her to return to her task.
"Crazy!"
Li Guangyou's wife muttered, but clearly this was spoken in jest.
Li Guangyou's face was extremely grave. When his father and wife each walked out of the kitchen earlier, he had observed that his wife's shadow was normal – dark, like Xiao Mu's, but his and his father's were much too faint, which was clearly abnormal.
"Mr. Mu, please follow me."
By now, Li Guangyou had no further hesitation and decisively led Xiao Mu toward the ancestral hall.
The Li family's ancestral hall was a separate building located in a corner of the courtyard, but despite its position, it was of extreme importance to the entire courtyard.
