"This... Eighth Young Master, this is my family's affair. If you recklessly intervene, it might not be appropriate, don't you think?"
Xie Zian braced himself to speak to Ji Youze.
Ji Youze remained silent, his face expressionless as he stared at him.
He neither spoke nor moved.
Xie Zian felt his confidence waver under that stare. He turned towards his wife and shouted, "Foolish woman, what have you done?"
Lady Xie looked at Xie Zian in surprise, inwardly cursing this useless man. She had thought calling him back would provide some backing, enough to drive these people away. She hadn't expected him to be such a coward.
"My lord… what could I have done? I am in my own home, disciplining my own servants. What's wrong with that?"
Lady Xie commented with a cold snort.
