Xiao Yanyi naturally understood the Grand Dowager's meaning. If he was hesitant before about consulting the Second Madam, now he had no hesitation. Shen's child, Teng's downfall, including Xing's health, were all connected to this matter. Deciding the position of Princely Heir early on would make future issues easier to handle.
The Grand Dowager sighed and waved her hand, saying, "I am old now. I can't manage your affairs, but I have one point: no matter how you argue, you must not harm the child in her belly!"
Xiao Yanyi nodded: "I understand, Mother."
Xiqiu returned to the room with Min. Min sat on the rose bed, leaned over the tea table, and asked Xiqiu, "Mother, do you think Second Uncle thinks Xing is clever?" Xiqiu smiled and nodded, praising, "Yes, Xing behaved very well today. Our Min did a great job too."
Min relaxed and let out a happy smile.
Fourth Master Xiao strode in.
