Granny Sun said, "It's good that the young lady understands."
Because Liu was coming back, Xu had been acting too hastily in some matters recently.
Yan Zhili was unaware of the commotion that had erupted at his residence. He looked at his elder brother with a serious expression and said, "Those people still can't see the current situation clearly."
Yan Chao sneered: "It's not that they can't see the situation, it's just that they can't see their own position. Do they still think they're a high and mighty aristocratic family?"
Yan Zhili said, "Brother, the matter of ascending the throne cannot be delayed any longer."
Yan Chao nodded. These people kept nagging and complaining, just to annoy them or to suppress their momentum. The east wind can prevail over the west wind. If the brothers backed down, they probably wouldn't be able to stand up again. Those aristocratic families aren't as upright and honorable as outsiders think. Those people are like a pack of wolves, hiding in the shadows, always ready to come up and bite off a piece of flesh.
Seeing that his elder brother had a plan, Yan Zhili said no more.
Yan Chao asked, "Are Sister Bao and Brother Gui getting used to living here?"
Yan Zhili said casually, "Sister Bao likes hunting, so she might not be used to it. By the way, Sister Bao also gave me a white fox pelt, which she specially caught for me."
Yan Chao: "..."
Yan Zhili looked at Yan Chao and said, "Brother, do you think it's better to make it into a hand warmer or put it on a cloak?"
Yan Chao didn't want to talk to his younger brother. They were clearly discussing serious matters, so why did they suddenly start showing off their daughter?
“The Xu family are no pushovers,” Yan Chao said sternly. “You must protect your child.”
Yan Zhili was taken aback. He felt that something was off about Yan Chao's words, yet they sounded like ordinary words of advice.
By the time Yan Zhili returned to the mansion, it was already dark. Upon receiving the news, Madam Xu sent a maid to wait on the road, saying that Madam Xu was feeling unwell and wanted to ask Yan Zhili to come and take a look.
Yan Zhili asked, "Are you feeling unwell? Have you called a doctor?"
The maidservant, her eyes red, said, "No, we didn't invite you."
Did Yan Zhili like Xu Shi? He did like her somewhat, otherwise he wouldn't have brought her into the mansion in the first place. Xu Shi was not only beautiful, but also gentle and considerate, which gave Yan Zhili a great sense of satisfaction. However, no matter how much he liked her, it couldn't compare to his love for his wife and children: "Then go and invite her."
