The two of them sat chatting under the camphor tree, with Du Di telling Wen Nuan about the Long Family's history, the origins of the Long Family's curse, the relations and longstanding grudges with the Du and Miao families, along with the stories of the Long Family Heir he knew, laying out everything for Wen Nuan to hear.
She listened quietly, as if hearing a captivating tale. Recently recovered from a serious illness, her complexion wasn't good, looking haggard and pale with little expression on her face. Du Di tried to pick Long Family stories that could lighten the mood to tell Wen Nuan, but he rarely mentioned the stories of her biological parents. Wen Nuan only knew that her father had died at 27, his death untimely.
It seemed that the sons-in-law of the Long Family could not escape that fate either.
