Yan Yijie's mother passed away when he was six years old. Now the Yan Mansion is managed by Yan Hai's successor, Madam Liu.
Madam Liu is a decent person, but she's too soft. She's bullied by those concubines every day and never fights back. She just cries and threatens to hang herself, but after hanging the white silk, she doesn't dare to stick her neck in.
This matter has almost spread throughout the Capital and has become the idle gossip among the people.
Yan Yijie sighed lightly, "That's my old man. Besides not being able to follow his example, what else can I do?"
Le Zhao chuckled, "If you dared to follow his example, I bet Magistrate Tang would immediately come to your house to break off the engagement."
Le Zhao gossiped, "It's strange, isn't it? Despite having so many concubines, your father doesn't have a single son or daughter. Could it be he's not capable?"
