On the way home, Xia Zhi asked, "What did Grandpa talk to you about in the study?"
Jinnan replied, "Some words of encouragement, saying he's going to start relying on me more, told me to avoid arrogance and rashness. Other than that, just inquiring about you and the baby."
"Did you act all surprised and flattered?" she teased.
Jinnan chuckled, "Not really, just acted very happy and obedient."
"What about the eldest brother, has Grandpa completely given up on him?" Xia Zhi asked.
"Grandpa hasn't taken back all the power from the eldest brother, but he's beginning to feel wary of him now. It's just a matter of time before he retrieves all the power."
"You can't let your guard down, either. He knows you're the one pulling the strings behind the scenes. He must be holding it in, looking for an opportunity to strike back. When I saw the way he looked at you walking with Grandpa earlier, it was as if he wanted to tear you into pieces. He will surely seek his revenge!"
