Ye Yueying smiled faintly. "Grandmother, I've grown used to such things long ago. Please don't be upset on my behalf."
Madam Weng moved her lips slightly, then sighed deeply. "Yingying, from now on, just take care of yourself. As for your uncles, consider them as if they don't exist."
Ye Yueying looked at her frail, aging grandmother and felt deeply saddened. She appreciated her grandmother's defense of her, but regarding her uncle's family, she indeed felt no attachment.

On the third day after the Lantern Festival, the Great Grandson summoned Ye Yueying and Master Weng for an audience.
Master Weng dressed in his official attire and, before leaving, pulled Ye Yueying aside to coerce and bribe her, warning her not to speak recklessly before the Great Grandson.
