One problem always remained alive on the page, breathing quietly where nobody wanted to look. Judge Xue read the next line and closed the book too fast. Then Aunt Lan looked at the altar and said, "Who invited that?" For a second, nobody moved. That was the cruelest part of the new world: everyone had learned to recognize the shape of bad news before it fully arrived. Then Judge Xue said, very softly, "That law has been used before."
