Upstairs, in Old Master Li's study, Old Master Li found himself almost unable to raise his head under Li Yanchen's intense gaze.
Finally, with an angry glare, he said, "Fine! I know this was your Second Aunt's doing. Although she didn't participate, she condoned it. Let's call it even!"
"As long as Grandfather is willing to admit it, that's good."
Old Master Li said gruffly, "Just this once, and never again! We'll let this issue go. I, your grandfather, am above using such lowly methods to go against a little girl... It's only your Second Aunt who could be so cruel... as if it were nothing...
To be so hard-hearted towards herself and her own children is one thing, but to be that cruel to others, the thing I regret most in my life is having your father marry into the Lan Family!
It's just harmful to everyone!"
