Looking at Tang Wan, who was hanging from the house beam, Guo Lingyun and Hou Jue sat in solemn silence, afraid that they had unknowingly offended the old scholar and would end up hanging there as well.
Though it wouldn't be fatal, it was extremely embarrassing.
Raising his head to glance at Tang Wan swinging like dried cured meat, Guo Lingyun sat up even straighter. He was still puzzled as to what Tang Wan had done to anger the old scholar, prompting him to abandon the reserve typical of a literati to personally hang her from the beam.
Unable to suppress his curiosity, Guo Lingyun quietly moved closer to Zhou Li and, seizing the moment when the old scholar and Hou Jue were discussing zombies, he whispered:
"Zhou Li, where did Miss Tang offend the old scholar? Was it a matter of etiquette? Or was there a slip in addressing him?"
"Ah..."
