Anle grinned and said, "I'm just addressing the root cause. I've gotten to know my aunt's temperament after spending so much time with her. I know she likes things like fame and fortune, so I used those things to entice her. I painted her a big pie, and she naturally threw away the small pie from the Duan family."
