"Grandfather, Father, Uncle, I want to know what's going on, and I have the right to know," Shangguan You's cool voice declared. Why did Shangguan Hao have such a pained expression? Why? Could it have to do with her mother? But that mother… she had almost no memory of her at all. Instead, her impressions of Ouyang Xuan were deeper. What exactly was going on?
"Yes, Grandfather."
"Stop. When it's time for you to know, you will be told. Now, go out," Shangguan Zhi cut them off, his tone authoritative. "Qing, take You for a walk in the courtyard. Mingle with some old friends. Go on."
"But, Grandfather," Shangguan You began, puzzled. It involved her; why couldn't she know?
"You, my dear, go on. These matters don't concern you. When it's time, you'll be informed," Shangguan Hao said gently, ruffling her hair.
"Go on, be a good girl. Shangguan Qing, take You out now," Shangguan Yu urged, his words indicating they were still unwilling to divulge the truth.
