"What's with you holding grudges like this? You were the one who started mouthing off to your mother and sister first, can't they teach you some manners? If you marry off like this, acting without propriety, people will laugh at us." Hearing Xia Xi's words, Xia Linsong immediately began to lecture her.
With that said, nobody really knew why, but everyone in the room fell silent. They didn't say a word, simply casting their silent gazes towards Xia Xi.
"Whether I marry or not, isn't for you to interfere in. The reason I returned to the Xia family home is because my master ordered me to. You don't have the right to try to control me." Xia Xi sat straight, looking seriously at Xia Linsong as she continued, "I call you 'father', but it's simply because we are related by blood, not because I actually want to respect you."
Xia Linsong almost fainted from the anger engendered by her words.
