Let it be then, if we can talk, let’s talk more; if not, then let’s each wish the other well.

Ping Tong watched Daohua’s lightened steps and breathed a sigh of relief, yet also felt a tinge of regret.

Today’s incident was supposed to be a harmonious and joyful occasion: the young lady had shown filial piety, and the master had gained face among the other adults. But Madam Lin and her daughter just had to interfere.

It was truly disgusting!

The Madam had felt before that the eldest young lady wasn’t warm enough to the master; today, it had not been easy for her to take the initiative to deliver food, and yet Madam Lin and her daughter had caused such a commotion. In the future, the eldest young lady probably wouldn’t take the initiative to get close to the master again.

As she approached the main courtyard, Daohua heard footsteps behind her. Turning around, she saw Madam Li with a worried expression coming towards her.

“Mother, why have you also come back?”

Madam Li stepped forward to examine Daohua; seeing her spirits were much better, she finally relaxed: “You ate so little for dinner; I had someone make you some mung bean cakes. Come, let’s go inside and eat them.”

She said this as she led Daohua into the main courtyard.

Once mother and daughter entered the main room, a maid brought in the mung bean cakes.

Daohua picked one up, tasted it, and said, “Mother, the taste of these mung bean cakes isn’t as good as mine. Next time, I’ll make some for you to try.”

Madam Li smiled: “Then, Mother will be waiting.” After saying this, she looked at Daohua’s expression and added, “Today, your father even praised your noodle soup, saying it was delicious. It seems he wants more tomorrow.”

Daohua sneered: “Sending food once today has already made everyone unhappy. If I keep sending and more incidents like today occur, who knows how many in the family I would offend? I don’t want to do such thankless tasks anymore.”

Not just noodle soup, she didn’t plan to send any other snacks to her cheap father either.

Madam Li looked at her Daughter’s puffed-up anger and smiled: “Silly child, are you really angry with your father?”

Daohua turned to look at Madam Li and seriously said, “Can’t I be angry? Father favors Madam Lin; he can’t bear to see her and Yan Yishuang feel aggrieved, so he passes the grievance on to me. Must I just accept it?”

Hearing this, Madam Li paused in her expression.

The daughter has grievances against the master!

Madam Li took Daohua’s hand firmly and said, “Daohua, you must remember he is your father. You may disagree with what your father says in your heart, but you must listen to him obediently.”

“Like today, talking back to your father in public was very inappropriate. If we speak of serious repercussions, that is considered unfilial. An unfilial person, no matter where they go, will be spurned by others and will not be able to establish themselves in society.”

Daohua silently listened and after a while, she looked up and said, “Mother, don’t worry. I know how I should face my father in the future.” If there is no talk of kinship, then let’s just speak of interests.

Yan Zhigao was the head of the family; almost everything in the house had to receive his approval. To have a smoother life in the future, she could manage to greet him with a smile and flatter him appropriately from time to time.

Madam Li glanced at Daohua and knew she still held anger inside, but considering a child’s temper comes and goes quickly, she did not say more.

“As for Madam Lin, don’t take it to heart. Even if she has a Scholar for a father and brother, a concubine is still a concubine and cannot make too much trouble.”

As soon as Madam Lin was mentioned, Daohua felt a bit nauseous. Although she was prepared for this kind of house fight before her arrival, experiencing it in person made her realize that as a straightforward person, she really wasn’t a match for those pretending to be pure and innocent. Even if she could retort, it would just cause endless troubles.

“I would rather out of sight, out of mind, but they just keep popping up now and then, enough to disgust anyone!”

Madam Li stroked Daohua’s head: “Mother will take care of it. I will make sure she behaves.”

Daohua looked up at Madam Li, skeptical in her heart; her mother, whether in looks or figure, was much superior to Madam Lin, but she was just a little too dignified.

When it came to acting coy and cute, she really couldn’t beat Madam Lin.

And men, it seemed, liked that sort of thing. At least her cheap father liked that type.

Songhe Courtyard.

After Madam Yan had gone to bed, Yan Zhigao and the others left.

Yan Zhigao hesitated for a moment but finally headed towards the main courtyard.

Seeing this, the people from the second and third branches each returned to their own rooms.

The second branch.

“Look at how today’s matter has blown up!” Yan Zhiyuan shook his head, “I didn’t even get to eat my fill tonight.”
