Prince Residence looked at Xiao Yechen, stayed silent for a moment, and said, "That damned temperament of his has been the same since he was little. When he was smaller and couldn’t beat you, he’d still pick a fight with you, not to mention now that he has grown a bit more capable. You know how he is—stay away from him in the future."
Madam Ma was taken aback, her crying ceased, evidently not expecting that Prince Residence, who would normally fly into a rage at the mere mention of Xiao Yeyang, would say such things.
Xiao Yechen struggled to sit up and said with downcast eyes, "Father, I understand. I will try to avoid Second Brother in the future. The conflict today arose because I couldn’t bear it when Second Brother took the initiative to speak of the adoption matter so unfilially."
Prince Residence’s expression eased a lot, and he patted Xiao Yechen’s shoulder, smiling, "Father knows you are good. If that damned one had half your sensibility, Father wouldn’t have to worry so much. Alright, take good care of yourself."
Seeing that Prince Residence didn’t mention a word about punishing Xiao Yeyang and walked away, both Xiao Yechen and Madam Ma frowned unconsciously.
Xiao Yechen lay back down in bed, "Father... after all, still cares about Xiao Yeyang."
Madam Ma’s face lost its softness, and she said indifferently, "After all, they are father and son connected by blood, which is thicker than water. But even so, there’s only so much caring to go around. Once that little bit of affection is used up, it’s gone. Today, Father was just stunned by Xiao Yeyang’s remarks. Once this passes, aside from making Father feel ashamed, nothing will change."
Xiao Yechen remained silent, his mind replaying his recent encounter with Xiao Yeyang over and over again.
He hadn’t expected that, years after their last meeting, he would lose so miserably.
Xiao Yeyang really had changed; those mocking and sharp eyes were like a sword thrust deeply into his heart, one he couldn’t pull out no matter how hard he tried. frёeωebɳovel.com

Duke Residence.
Each time Duke thought of his grandson he had seen today, a smile never left his face, "Previously when the eldest wrote to tell me how excellent Yeyang had become, I didn’t believe it. But now that I’ve seen him, I think the eldest was too modest."
The Guo Family exchanged words for a while, then dispersed.
Once everyone had left, Madam raised a question, "Father, about your earlier suggestion regarding Yeyang and Xueming’s matter..."
Duke fell silent for a moment, "Naturally, I hope our families could become even closer through marriage, but I’m afraid it won’t be so easy."
