Lu Xingjian was amused by his words, and the pent-up anger in his heart dissipated considerably.
"You also have a wife and children, how do you make up with them after an argument?"
Gu Ziyu, seemingly unfazed, poured himself a glass of wine and drank it: "I won't coax you."
Lu Xingjian: "..."
You're just being stubborn.

Thinking of this, Lu Xingjian's heart stirred.
My father-in-law has been back in his hometown of Luoyang for a long time now.

Lu Xingjian frowned.
Gu Ziyu continued: "The eleven prefectures along the Yangtze River suffered from floods last year and are in dire need of food and drink, awaiting relief from the imperial court."
