The Clan Chief's wife felt embarrassed. In the scholarly, agricultural, and business world, business was the lowest in terms of hierarchy.

It was true that there was Madam Xie's help, but their statuses were different, and their backgrounds were worlds apart. Even though the Yu Clan was polite, when facing the Xie Residence, they still carried a sense of superiority and aloofness.
