Anning reached out to knock on the table, and only then did Madam Hui stop complaining.
She looked at Anning and asked, "Third Sister-in-law, what do you plan to do? We can't just let them handle us like this, can we? Third Brother is meant for great things, but if Old Master causes any issues and holds us back, the loss will be significant."
Anning thought the same, she could tolerate Old Master and Old Madam wanting some good food and drink, wanting to live well wasn't something she minded. What she feared was those two growing more muddle-headed with age, doing anything out of spite, and who knows when they might seize a chance to defect to the enemy. That would greatly impact Xiao Yuan.
Imagine, if such a situation occurred, just as Xiao Yuan leads troops into battle, his own father denounces him for being disloyal and dishonorable, cursing him in the enemy camp—his reputation would be ruined.
"Tomorrow, I'm making a trip to West Street, do you want to join me?"
