Yan Qing wasn't too happy because no one had ever treated him as well as Ling Hua did. Even the Empress Dowager, after all, had her status to consider and would never do anything that did not fit her position. Even though she loved him, indulged him, and protected him, she always instructed her servants to carry out her wishes.
In short, it was always through the hands of others.
He knew his great-aunt cared for him deeply, and so, whether she took action herself was never of concern to him. Just having her old self think of him more and take care of him more than her own grandchildren was burden enough for him to feel already.
But Ling Hua was very different.
