Yan Zhigao went to his government duties as usual, while Master Qin was summoned by Madam Li’s maid to the main courtyard. Now, every household knew the result of the matter.

Shuangxin Courtyard.

“Mother, didn’t you say Father would punish big sister?” Yan Yishuang asked with a disappointed face. Just thinking that Daohua would not be punished made her lose all appetite for breakfast.

Concubine Lin also furrowed her brows deeply.

At this moment, her heart was somewhat in turmoil. Knowing Yan Zhigao as she did, she was certain he would have punished the eldest daughter. But the outcome was different from what she anticipated, and this gave her a sense of things slipping out of her control.

“What on earth did the Old Madam say to Father?” she wondered. His rage was palpable when he left; how could his attitude have changed after just one visit to the Old Madam’s quarters?

Yan Wenbin, seeing both Concubine Lin and Yan Yishuang looking so crestfallen, shook his head, “Mother, Third Sister, what exactly are you worried about? I say, there’s no need for you to keep such a close watch on big sister.”

“Before, we worried that once big sister arrived, she would divide Father’s love for us. But she has been here for so long, and Father’s affection for us has not diminished. Since that is the case, why bother upsetting Grandmother?”

At these words, both Concubine Lin and Yan Yishuang turned their gazes toward Yan Wenbin.

His words were a wake-up call, and Concubine Lin looked at her son with sheer delight.

Ever since the eldest daughter arrived, seeing how outstanding she was, Concubine Lin felt a sense of crisis, fearing that Yan Yishuang would fall behind and that her Father’s love would be swayed by favoritism towards the Madam of the main courtyard.

But now she thought about it, though Father was also fond of the eldest daughter, he could not compare it to his love for his own children.

Moreover, bluntly put, given the eldest daughter’s audacity to openly defy her elders, Father might not favor her. At first, taking pity on her rustic upbringing, Father might tolerate it for a time, but as days passed, without her having to lift a finger, the eldest daughter would grow increasingly out of favor with Father.

She had indeed been confused during this time, needlessly incurring the Old Madam’s displeasure while her son saw things much clearer.
