He Ma, who had lived most of her life, had always served her masters diligently and faithfully, almost never stepping outside the Li Family residence. Not just He Ma, but the other elderly servants too had long become accustomed to it. If there were to be a change, it wouldn't be such a simple matter.
Li Yan pressed his lips together, understanding the implication of He Ma's words, so he didn't say much more.
He didn't expect He Ma to necessarily correct herself, nor did he insist that she immediately adapt to the changing times.
The conversation moments ago was merely a probe; they were subtly exploring each other's true intentions, using words as a means of indirect communication—a give and take.
Li Yan smiled faintly, saying, "In name, I am an Eldest Young Master, but in reality, I don't understand the family's rules. Just as He Ma said, when something becomes a habit, it's hard to change."
