Shen Tingshu had been living with the Zhou family for three years before she finally met the second master of the main branch, the man everyone talked about, on the eve of the Lantern Festival. He was the Vice Minister of War, renowned for commanding military affairs across the empire's three border regions.
Shen Tingshu had met him before, but she was terribly afraid of him.
Later, she ran into Vice Minister Zhou in the garden. With nowhere to hide, she had no choice but to steel herself and step forward to pay her respects.
Vice Minister Zhou glanced at her and said, "You've lived in the Zhou household for years. Is this how the Zhou family taught you to treat the person who saved your life?"
