Yan Chao knew Mr. Li; Mr. Li was very talented, but inflexible and rigid. He had wanted to keep Mr. Li in the court, but Mr. Li had firmly refused. He also knew that Mr. Li was later invited by Yan Zhili to be a tutor for his nephew and niece, but he was unaware of the matter with the Luo family.
Yan Shujin said, "If he doesn't pay me back in a day, I'll beat him up."
Yan Chao asked, "What if Luo Zhengyao doesn't go out at all?"
“Then I’ll beat up his family.” Yan Shujin said matter-of-factly, “His family knows about this.”
Yan Chao smiled and said, "Why don't you have your aunt speak directly to the Luo family?"
Yan Shujin said seriously, "Uncle and Aunt are busy with important matters. You can leave this to me. If things get out of hand, you can say that the child is young and doesn't understand."
Yan Chao said, "Okay."
Yan Shujin said, "Uncle, you're not allowed to get involved in the Luo family's complaint."
Yan Chao readily replied, "I don't care."
Yan Shujin said coquettishly, "As expected, my uncle loves me the most."
Madam Yan said, "He is your uncle, so naturally he will side with you." In Madam Yan's view, this was just like when her own child was fighting with someone else's child, so she would definitely side with her own child.
Yan Zhili had lunch with his mother in the palace with his two children before taking them home. In the carriage, Yan Zhili asked, "Why do you think your uncle agreed so easily?"
"Because it aligns with what Uncle wants to do." Yan Shujin felt it wasn't just because he doted on her, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Father, I know."
Yan Zhili then stopped saying anything.
Yan Qiyu looked at Yan Zhili and then at Yan Shujin. He felt that his father and sister were discussing something very important, but he couldn't understand it.
Yan Shujin said, "Then Father, don't forget to give me guards."
Yan Zhili said, "I can't forget it."
Moreover, Yan Zhili also understood Yan Chao's attitude towards those aristocratic families, which was the most important thing.
Yan Shujin looked out the car window at the scene outside and found it very interesting. Her uncle wanted to test the aristocratic families' attitude towards the royal family, her father wanted to test her uncle's attitude towards the aristocratic families, the aristocratic families wanted to test the royal family's attitude towards them, and Li Yue became the most innocent person.
What will happen to Li Yue if Yan Shujin and the others don't get involved in this matter?
How far will Mr. Li go for his daughter?
Ultimately, Li Yue is still the most innocent party.
When they got home, Yan Shujin and Yan Qiyu went to Mr. Du's place for a lesson. Mr. Du said, "Why don't we discuss the Luo family's affairs today?"
Yan Shujin asked, "What family matter does Mr. Du want to discuss?"
Mr. Du said, "What do you think Luo Zhengyao is really after in this affair with Miss Li?"
Yan Shujin thought about what she had discussed with Aunt Yu yesterday. She felt that she didn't need to know what the Luo family was after, but judging from Mr. Du's question, it seemed that she did? Was she wrong?
Yan Qiyu asked, "Is the Luo family a prominent family?"
"Yes," Mr. Du said, "However, their family background is very shallow, they are considered the lowest level."
Yan Qiyu scratched his head: "So it's because their family thinks they're a prestigious family, and other prestigious families look down on them?"
Mr. Du said, "Yes, it's just like the difference between a very wealthy family and a moderately wealthy family."
Yan Qiyu nodded: "I understand."
Mr. Du asked, "So why did the Luo family do this?"
A family like the Luos could have any kind of concubine they wanted, yet they resorted to such methods to threaten the Li family, especially after Mr. Li sided with Yan Zhili. Even if Mr. Li doesn't hold any official position now, the Luos shouldn't be able to humiliate him like this.
Yan Qiyu said, "Is it to test your uncle and father's attitude?"
"Besides that?" Mr. Du said, "And it's just a small matter."
Yan Qiyu was unaware of this and looked at Yan Shujin.
Yan Shujin then said, "Precisely because it is a small matter, if my uncle or father were to retaliate against the Luo family over this, it would seem like an overreaction, and the Luo family could directly punish Luo Zhengyao."
Mr. Du said, "And then?"
"It's just a disgusting tactic that doesn't hurt anyone," Yan Shujin said with some dissatisfaction. "Sister Li is so innocent."
Yan Qiyu nodded in agreement.
Mr. Du said, "Do you think the Luo family did this on purpose?"
Yan Shujin and Yan Qiyu both thought so.
Mr. Du smiled and said, "I think they are just going with the flow."
Yan Shujin was stunned.
Mr. Du said, "You've got the whole thing backwards. If Mr. Li's family hadn't entered the Prince's Mansion, there might not have been the incident where Luo Zhengyao made things difficult for Miss Li. The Luo family would have just pretended that the marriage never happened. They would have wanted to make a scene even more than anyone else."
Yan Shujin suddenly realized that, in the end, the Luo family knew that Mr. Li's family had entered the Prince's Mansion, so they used this matter to test the waters. Or perhaps the person in charge was not from the Luo family, but someone who knew about the marriage agreement between the Luo and Li families and also knew that the Li family had entered the Prince's Mansion, so they sent the Luo family out to test the waters.
That family could only be a prestigious family, and one that the Luo family could not refuse.
