Xu Di was the eldest grandson most valued by the Marquis of Yongning. Among all the grandchildren in the mansion, Xu Di was the one with both ability and talent. In the eyes of the Marquis of Yongning, the other grandsons were somewhat mediocre. In other families, this might be considered quite gratifying, but in the Marquis of Yongning's mansion, with Xu Di as a shining example, the other children were really not up to par.
Xu Di pondered that it was probably because his grandfather favored him that he became so domineering. In this society, many times the focus is on the entire family, not just the individual. Moreover, in this society, whether one can go further often depends on the entire family. Very few people can succeed by going it alone.
The more Xu Di thought about it, the more he felt he should go and talk to his grandfather. Looking at the sky, it was almost midnight, and he wondered if his grandfather was already asleep.
Xu Di is the type of person who will resolve issues on the spot if they can be resolved immediately, and generally doesn't let things linger overnight. After hesitating for a moment, he turned around and walked towards the front courtyard.

Xu Di asked in a low voice, "Has Grandfather rested yet? I suddenly remembered that there are some things I want to discuss with Grandfather."
Qingfeng whispered, "A shopkeeper came to see the Marquis before curfew, and they're still talking in his study right now."
Upon hearing this, Xu Di immediately became alert. The fact that the shopkeeper could come over in the middle of the night meant that something had happened that he couldn't handle. A shopkeeper with the backing of the Yongning Marquis's mansion still had some influence in the capital. It seemed that this matter was no small thing.
