Although Li Gengyun, also known as Li Laoer, was utterly devastated, he couldn't bring himself to make a scene. He knew in his heart that this had nothing to do with Li Gengtian or anyone else in the village. Who could he blame? It was just bad luck that his daughter Yan was so young and pretty.
He fought back his grief, went forward, and pulled his wife to her feet to leave. Yan's mother's wails faded into the distance as they walked away. The people left behind all looked grim, but no one blamed her for being irrational. After all, anyone in her shoes would likely be driven mad.
Just then, Mr. Zhou came over and ushered Li Gengtian into the house, beckoning for Qingmu, Zhang Huai, and the others to follow.
Once they were all seated, he said to Li Gengtian, "There may yet be a way to resolve this."
Li Gengtian was overjoyed to hear this and hurriedly asked, "How can we do that?"
Li Changyu and the others also stared at him intently, hoping he would offer an ingenious solution.
