Even Fan Siwen had become much gentler to Fan Zijin after the latter had been conferred the title of Duke. Of course, this was how everyone except for Fan Zijin felt.
Fan Siwen very much wanted to ease his relationship with Fan Zijin, but he couldn't help but flare up every time they met.
He took a deep breath to calm himself down. Seeing that Madam Xia did not ask Little Madam Xia to stay, he waved his hand angrily and said, "Up to you. Now that your wings have hardened, you wouldn't listen to your parents."
Seeing that Fan Zijin only snorted and didn't retort, Fan Siwen got even angrier. If such a scenario played out in someone else's home, the son would long have knelt down and apologized in fear.
Having lost his appetite, Fan Siwen simply pushed his bowl and chopsticks away and stood up to leave.
