On New Year's Eve, while the family was eating dinner, Old Mu arrived.
It turned out that ever since the event of Lele being named prince the previous night, a thick scent of gunpowder had pervaded the Luo Residence. Old Madam Luo berated Ye Zi'an's mother for being unfilial, for doing meritorious deeds without informing the family, and for allowing Ye Zi'an to reap the benefits instead.
As she cursed, she also said Ye Zi'an was unfilial, just like his mother, unfilial for not visiting her after arriving in the Capital City, and his wife had even insulted her during the palace banquet, showing an utter lack of manners.
Old Mu, infuriated, insisted that he had forbidden Ye Zi'an from visiting and did not allow him to acknowledge the Luo family. In the Luo Residence, it was enough for Ye Zi'an to recognize only him as an uncle.
