The grandson nodded slowly.
"Oh… that does sound unfair."
"Exactly," Zhang Jufang said. "Even your Cousin Fu must work hard despite being the heir."
He shook his head in disapproval. "Recently, that boy has been making questionable decisions as well. Spending so much time with Xiulan has clearly influenced him."
Zhang Jufang's expression grew increasingly concerned. "If he continues like this, the future of the Zhang family will deteriorate once he becomes head."
The entire branch family nodded in agreement.
They were extremely proud of their aristocratic heritage. In their household, daughters married into the family while husbands joined the Zhang surname, preserving their lineage.
After a moment, Zhang Jufang's daughter-in-law spoke cautiously.
"Father, I heard Xiulan has been behaving much better recently. What if she has truly changed? Shouldn't we give her a chance?"
Zhang Jufang considered this.
"If she truly changed, that would be good," he admitted.
