The clansmen of the Xu family were all quite astute.
When the Feng Family came knocking, someone had already run to the elder branch and third branch to notify them.
Xu Zhiqin, being young with nimble legs, arrived a bit earlier.
While the patriarch and Old Madam were a bit delayed.
Initially, Xu Minruo wanted to come with them, but Old Madam forbade it.
In a world where filial piety supersedes all else, there lay Mrs. Feng; what could Xu Minruo do if she went? She would undoubtedly be grabbed by the Fengs who'd make all sorts of demands.
Anning spoke earnestly with Xu Minruo about some matters, and Min Ruo then dismissed the idea of going over.
However, the child's feelings were complicated.
In her view, her disregard for Mrs. Feng seemed somewhat unfilial.
But the things Mrs. Feng had done left her unsure how to respond.
Should she really just watch as Mrs. Feng took all the money Xu Zhiyong earned back to the Feng Family while her own family starved?
