Suddenly, there were sounds of someone beginning to push open the door, and torchlight streamed in through the cracks!
Fu Zhen stood still, staring at Xu Yin.
Xu Yin stood for a moment, taking a deep breath: "Fine, you win."
He reached out and pulled down the sheer curtain hanging under the window eaves, barely managing to hide Fu Zhen behind it.
The bottom of the curtain was still swaying when the door was pushed open, and Mrs. Zhang led a group of guards inside. She was startled upon seeing Xu Yin: "Vice Minister Xu?"
Xu Yin clasped his hands behind his back: "Sister-in-law, what brings you here?"
Mrs. Zhang's eyes swept over the moving curtain behind him and settled on his face: "Why are you here, brother-in-law? Shouldn't you be with my sister?"
