"There's one more thing," Dubian Che spoke to Kiyono Youko.
"Hmm?" Kiyono Youko gestured for him to speak frankly.
"About you and Kiyono..."
"Which Kiyono? Me? Lin's aunt Kiyono Lizzi? Lin's young aunt Kiyono Wanzhi? Lin's..."
"I didn't realize you were so dense," Mrs. Jiutiao said sarcastically.
"Hmm~" Mrs. Kiyono mischievously blinked and teased Dubian Che, "Which Kiyono?"
"About you and Lin...."
"Hmm." Kiyono Youko nodded in satisfaction.
"About the promise between you and Lin, could you reconsider it?" Dubian Che paused before speaking, "To have Kiyono... Lin take over the Kiyono family, you must have tried all possible methods by now. This so-called half-year promise is just a forced attempt, with no real assurance."
Kiyono Youko remained silent, and Dubian Che continued to say:
"Since I was able to reconcile her with Meiji, I must be the person in the world most likely capable of having her take over the Kiyono family."
