Jih Heng looked at him, and a tear dropped onto Old General Jih's face.
No one had ever seen Jih Heng cry; it seemed as if she was naturally incapable of feeling sad, scared, or crying. Except for her utterly ignorant infancy, it seemed she would never cry again. Even Old General Jih had never seen her cry.
"Crying..." Old General Jih smiled faintly, "That's not like a man."
After Yu Hongye's death, Old General Jih had also made inquiries. The reason he didn't let Jih Minghan continue the investigation was that he felt it was the doing of someone in the palace, since Yu Hongye's body had inexplicably appeared at their doorstep after she had entered the palace. He feared Jih Minghan would act rashly and fall for someone else's trap, not knowing that Jih Minghan couldn't bear the insult and murder of his wife and was determined to find the real culprit, even if it meant breaking with his entire clan.
