Huang'er's situation in the Yan Family appeared to enjoy the privileges of a lady of the house. Across the entire Yan Family, it seemed no one treated her with any disrespect.
Yet, this seemingly pleasant treatment carried with it a profound resignation.
Huang'er was fully aware that this wasn't because the Yan Family truly cherished her as one of their bloodline. It was simply because they didn't wish to push her to any extreme, fearing she might take her own life out of despair.
What the Yan Family was doing now—raising Huang'er, keeping her appeased—was only to prepare for the day they would deliver her to the Xiahou Family, to become Xiahou Zong's cultivation furnace.
This was the promise the Yan Family had made to the Xiahou Family years ago, and it was also a source of shame for the Yan Family.
