When Yang Dingbang got home, he found the old madam sitting in a chair, waiting for him. He quickly recounted the whole affair to her and sighed, "Lin Lan was very brave."
"That bastard, Ye San." The old madam slapped the armrest of her chair. "Poor Lin Lan. She must have been scared out of her wits when she heard that thief break in! I'm going over to keep her company."
Yang Dingbang quickly steadied her. "Grandma, Lin Lan said she's fine. I think we should just let her have some peace and quiet. You can go over in the morning, alright?"
The old madam wiped away a tear. "Sigh! It's a hard life for a young widow. When something like this happens to a woman on her own, people will gossip. You have to help her! Don't let the Ye family show up at her door."
Yang Dingbang nodded. "Don't worry. I've already spoken to Brother Zhang. I asked him and his wife not to mention this to the team for now. We can talk about it after the case is closed."
