"Otherwise, why would you still be just a Scholar to this day, not even equal to your third brother who grew up in our hometown?"
Yan Zhigao laughed in exasperation, unable to believe what he was hearing as he looked at Yan Yile, "Yile, do you really think this way? Do you think that all of what happened today is our fault?"
Zhu Qiyun discerned the deep disappointment in Yan Zhigao’s eyes and hurriedly spoke to remedy the situation, "Uncle, don’t be angry. Yile is just like this—reckless when anxious. Her words are not from the heart."
Madam Li scoffed, tired and numb from always hearing the second branch of the family make excuses for Yan Yile. She had already grown lazy in correcting them.
Yan Wenjie also quickly spoke, "Uncle, my aunt, please don’t take Yile’s words to heart. It’s all my fault. I failed to look after my younger sister properly."
Yan Zhigao, with a pained expression, closed his eyes. After a while, he reopened them, the clarity back in his gaze, "Wenjie, tell your uncle the truth, do you also believe that what happened today is the fault of the main branch?"
Yan Wenjie shook his head repeatedly, "No, no, no, Uncle, I’ve never thought that way. My parents moved back to the hometown because of my father’s mistake, and if I am still a Scholar, it’s due to my own ineptitude. Everything has nothing to do with the main branch; on the contrary, Uncle and Aunt have helped us a lot."
Zhu Qiyun took over the conversation, "Uncle, please believe us, my husband and I are truly grateful to you and Aunt. Without you, I wouldn’t have been able to marry into the Yan Family."
Yan Zhigao’s expression eased somewhat, and then he looked emotionlessly at Yan Yile. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Yan Yile lowered her head, realizing after her impulsive outburst that her words had been too harsh.
Yan Zhigao said, "Yile, if your uncle told you that the Feng Family doesn’t think highly of you and has no intention of marrying you, what would you do?"
Yan Yile froze, her eyes wavering, and after a long while, she said, "Feng Second Brother said he will definitely marry me."
Hearing this, Madam Li was speechless, "Yile, are you sure your Feng Second Brother can decide his own marriage?"
Yan Yile suddenly fell silent.
