Chapter 51, Wife and Concubine_1

"Wenhui, what's happened to you?"

Yan Zhigao visited Shuangxin Courtyard as usual, and upon entering the courtyard, he noticed to his surprise that his beloved concubine did not greet him at the door as she usually did. He quietly stepped into the room and found his concubine lost in thought, completely motionless.

"The master has arrived!"

Upon seeing Yan Zhigao, Concubine Lin immediately put away her deeply troubled expression and greeted him with a smile.

Yan Zhigao took her hand and asked with concern, "What are you thinking about? Why didn't you even notice me coming?"

Concubine Lin shook her head, her face showing a touch of bitterness as she spoke, "I wasn't thinking about anything, just... just lost in some idle thoughts."

Yan Zhigao asked again, "What's really the matter?"

Concubine Lin hesitated, as if there was something she wanted to say but thought better of it.
