Loyalty in the Time of Tyranny Chapter 155

There was a candle burning in the study.

Adrian Tang never liked reading at night because the light was too poor. He would feel sore eyes after reading for a long time, and it would even affect his vision. After developing glass, he asked Mason Yao to lead the workers in the workshop to blow out glass lampshades using the glass blowing method. Although the light of the glass kerosene lamp made in this way was still not as bright as that of later generations, it was much brighter.

At this moment, he was holding a letter and reading it carefully under the kerosene lamp. After reading the contents of the letter, Adrian Tang opened the glass lampshade and brought a corner of the letter close to the candlelight. With a snap, the letter began to burn from the bottom. The dim candlelight reflected on Adrian Tang's face, making him look uncertain.

Not long after, the housekeeper came to report: "Sir, the master has returned home."

Adrian Tang quietly cleaned up the paper ash that had fallen on the table, but he stopped halfway through, leaving some on the table. He walked out the door and happened to see Ethan Wang walking in from outside the courtyard. The two of them met in the moonlight and both paused for a moment, both feeling guilty.
