Li Hongyuan's favoritism towards Lingzi was clear as day.
Out of his three children, Li Tingqian, Wenzan, and Lingzi, Li Hongyuan looked fondly upon Li Tingqian, favored and even spoiled Lingzi, and was overly strict with Wenzan.
Maybe this could be explained as a father's higher expectations for his son, but his excessive indulgence towards Lingzi, in Jiang Ning's eyes, had already gone too far.
He carefully selected a precious little red horse for Lingzi, but did not give one to Xiaoqian and Wenzan.
Xiaoqian's horse was one he had picked out for himself at the Imperial Horse Stable.
Wenzan did not have a horse of his own.
Although Wenzan was young and didn't necessarily need his own horse, when compared with his siblings of the same age, Lingzi had a horse while he didn't.
Was this okay?
Either everyone gets one, or nobody does.
Jiang Ning felt strongly against Li Hongyuan's actions, which was why she slightly favored Wenzan in daily life, finding him pitiful.
