From the tavern's upper floor, County Magistrate Lin Shou watched the scene unfold. He subconsciously reached for a jade flute, raising it toward his lips, but then he remembered Chen Sheng's prior warning and lowered it again.
Still, a hint of envy flickered in his eyes.
Madam Yang had found the man of her heart.
But he... he had been abandoned by the man in his heart. A sudden, strange melancholy washed over him.
"Stop staring. She's Captain Chen's woman now."
Suddenly, a hand clapped Lin Shou's shoulder. He turned to see County Captain Wu Kuang and immediately shook his head.
"Don't be ridiculous. That's not what I meant at all."
"Then what did you mean?"
Wu Kuang was a little surprised.
He had just seen Lin Shou staring intently and assumed the man was still nursing some regrets.
Lin Shou shook his head, unwilling to explain.
Although Wu Kuang knew a little about his situation, it was still too embarrassing for him to say it out loud.
