Watching Lian Gui leave, Duke An remained in melancholy contemplation for a long time; the children from the legitimate wife were indeed different from those born to concubines. If Xinyan were a boy with such courage and intelligence, what would Duke An's Mansion have to fear in the future? Just him alone could support the family's dignity and business for decades. Alas, his own son was disappointing. What could he do?
The Duchess had also been waiting for a while and, unable to hear the Duke speak, couldn't help but complain, "The letter Xinyan sent to Madam Yin also had instructions on how to make cheese. How could you just casually give it to her? And those two recipe books, if the desserts are as rare and delicious as those Prince Yu presented to His Majesty, opening a Pastry House in the capital could be a significant source of income. Even if you gave them to Madam Yin, there should be some logic to it."
