367 Xiao Ge's Budding Romance
This indirectly confirmed what Ding Xiang had said: that she had a tough time at the Sun Family Medical Hall.
Thus, love-struck, Liu Yian sharply reprimanded his Aunt for being overly domineering, then left with "poor little" Ding Xiang.
Afterward, the name 'Ding Xiang' was no longer mentioned in their home.
Zhao Zhitong learned all this from letters. She felt nothing but contempt for Ding Xiang's ingratitude.
It seemed human nature wasn't always good.
Now, with Liu Yian as her backer, Ding Xiang was living a relatively comfortable life at Lingjian Villa.
...
After a peaceful night, morning came in the blink of an eye. When everyone gathered for breakfast, Zhao Zhitong noticed her Xiao Ge was missing.
She asked in surprise, "Eh, where did Xiao Ge go?"
Her Eldest Uncle, who was always up earliest, had seen Xiao Ge leave. "Oh, Zhao Yu?" he said. "He went out early this morning. Said something about buying an orchid."
