บท 39: Chapter 39 The Saying of the Eldest Family's Patriarch

After the family had dined, Ye Xinyan cleared and washed the dishes, while Qi Congming fell asleep on the heated brick bed, soothed by the Princely Heir's whispered consolations.

Qi Younian, who sat beside Qi Congming, saw Ye Xinyan enter and beckoned her to sit down. He asked, "Before dinner, did you hesitate to speak because you were afraid the child might hear something inappropriate? Please, discuss with us. Now that your Great Uncle is coming, how should we negotiate with him? Otherwise, we could also involve your Great Uncle, give him a talking-to, and keep the child here for the time being until his injuries are healed."

Nanny Jin also looked at Ye Xinyan with concern. The child was too pitiful; they couldn't let him go back to that home. It would be best if he could stay permanently.
