Jing Shuo joked, "I'm afraid they went to complain."
“Father’s words are law and have been clearly decreed; he cannot change them,” Jingyan said without worry. Before leaving, he simply instructed Jingshuo, “Remember what you have to do, and do not disappoint me.”
“Brother, you have done so much for me, I will do my best. I hope you will not let Jinglu get away with this either,” Jingshuo said with unwavering determination.
