"Zhili, he is..."
"He is your child," said Yin Zhan gently, "For all these years, I have taught him well; he is outstanding, although he is a bit too soft-hearted. This is a disadvantage," a hint of vexation appeared on his face, "For the things he has to do in the future, this soft-heartedness is an obstacle."
"Why are you telling me this," the Empress Dowager sneered, "Even if he is my... child, he must remain out of sight. Since you have remarried, you should just live out your days in peace."
"So this is why you are angry with me," Yin Zhan smiled as if pleasantly surprised. If any member of the Yin family, Madam Yin, or Yan Ze from her side saw this expression of his, they would be greatly shocked. He was determined and rugged, free-spirited and unbridled, but never tender. It turns out he reserved all his tenderness for the person before him.
