Si Yihuan's expression stiffened momentarily, then he said, "I was thoughtless; please forgive me, Uncle Master."
"Master barely eats, tea will suffice, Yihuan, you don't need to fuss, take a rest," Jiao Ling said, apologetically smiling at Si Yihuan, as it's common for older people to be a bit eccentric.
Si Yihuan quickly glanced at Bai Zepei, paid respects to everyone, and withdrew.
Bai Zepei knew his wife felt aggrieved, his heart uncomfortable, but the elder was indeed his aunt's master. When grandmother was imprisoned, he cared for and raised her, considering the hardships his aunt endured over the years, Bai Zepei couldn't directly disregard Liu Lao's face.
Moreover, Liu Lao didn't openly humiliate Si Yihuan, yet a few words and an outburst would render them disrespectful juniors, leading possibly to discussions of Si Yihuan's faults by outsiders.
