"Moreover, it's their business that they are not short of money, and my duty to repay the debt is my own affair. How can these be equated?"
An Zixin also knew not to be too absolute in his words, to avoid raising Aunt Yang's suspicions.
"Alright, alright, alright, we'll do as you say! Once the warm set is knit up, I'll accompany you to visit Old Master Bai and thank him for his years of care for you, okay?"
Yang Mei then smiled contentedly: "Mmm."
Back at home, Butler Zhong came forward: "Miss Yueqing, the great-grandfather is still playing chess over there, and Miss Nuannuan has just sent word that Old Master Bai is keeping our master for dinner and will send him back later."
"No rush, it is only seven o'clock now, Nuannuan is sensible, she will probably be back by eight."
Butler Zhong also thought it was about time: "I will keep the lights on in the courtyard, the rain has made the roads a bit slippery."
