Chapter 167: Chapter 151, Roasted Venison_1
In the pavilion, Xiao Yeyang carefully applied the medicine, while Daohua occasionally made a remark, and the atmosphere between them grew increasingly warm.
Outside the pavilion, everyone watched as Xiao Yeyang’s expression gradually brightened, and eventually, he even began to laugh and chat with Daohua. This caused a collective sigh of relief.
“It’s quite cold; let’s hurry back to the room to warm up!”
Dong Yuanxuan spoke with a smile, aware that it didn’t look good for so many of them to be standing around like this.
Yan Wenxiu came to his senses, promptly ushering everyone back inside, but he himself lingered a step behind and surreptitiously pulled out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Thankfully, the eldest sister had stopped the Little Prince; if they had let him storm off in a rage, the Yan Family would likely have faced considerable criticism afterward.
The Zhou Family’s old patriarch’s birthday celebration was marred by the Little Prince’s angry departure, resulting in gossip all across Xingzhou City; even the Zhou Family themselves couldn’t avoid it, much less theirs.
Thinking of the fourth sister from the second branch, Yan Wenxiu’s face flushed with heat.
He truly had no idea where the fourth sister had gotten the courage to openly ask the Little Prince for favors in front of so many people.

He had not expected that the fourth girl from the second branch would be so tactless, almost involving the entire Yan Family in the fallout. freēwēbnovel.com
If the eldest daughter hadn’t stepped forward, not only would their relationship with the Little Prince be jeopardized, but they might also have ended up courting disaster.
Yan Wenxiu was only concerned about facing criticism, but Yan Zhigao considered the matter more deeply.
Political affairs were always fraught with danger, and as the Prefectural Governor of Xingzhou, he knew all too well how many were eyeing his position, waiting for him to stumble so they could pull him down and climb up in his place.
His career had not been smooth sailing, and it was only in the last couple of years that he began to see some hope—now was not the time for a setback.
As for the second branch…
It seems he would have to strictly discipline this segment of the family in the future!
Inside the elderly matriarch’s room.
