Ziche Min smiled faintly and suddenly spoke: "Patriarch Yan, the old duke requests a private meeting with Shao Yuan, if permissible? Rest assured, the old duke will not force affection nor impose anything against Shao Yuan's will."
Patriarch Yan understood that Ziche Min's request could not be declined.
"I will escort Lord Ziche," Patriarch Yan agreed with a nod.
"Please."
Soon, the group arrived at Yan Qingsang's residence.
Ziche Min frowned slightly, surprised at the Yan Family's negligence toward a genius like Shao Yuan. Such a remarkable talent did not even possess a private courtyard in the Yan Family but shared accommodations with Yan Qingsang. While the arrangements were not unduly cramped, the lack of consideration was evidently absurd.
"Patriarch Yan, the old duke does not intend to comment on the Yan Family's management, yet neglecting talents like Shao Yuan is truly regrettable."
Ziche Min sighed, shaking his head repeatedly.
