Lu Fangzhi had been in the Shen family for three years, serving tea and water, kneeling in the ancestral hall, and sleeping in the utility room.

The door didn't let him in.
Lin Chen stood at the foot of the steps, with withered grass growing in the gaps between the green bricks under his feet, and his cloth shoes were wet with morning dew. He raised his head and glanced at the lintel
