Like the scales beneath a dragon's throat, everyone has a sensitive, crucial, precious spot. And for Lin Tianrong, it was his study. Because it was the place where he had meetings with guests and discussed politics.
In other words…
The study was the heart of the Eastern Palace.
If a random building was burnt, Lin Tianrong would only lose some face. But with his study being burnt down, it was totally different. He felt as if someone had slapped him in the face.
Most importantly, the building's furniture and decoration could be bought again, but how would he purchase the books, the letters from different people, and the memorials previously in his study?
Ping Yang understood this clearly.
Hence, she did not torch his study. But never did she expect Fang Zhengzhi to target precisely that.
Wen Dabao was also dazed.
