"Grandmother, about the bride price...?" he asked, shaking the Old Madam again.
The Old Madam couldn't stand his shaking anymore: "My little ancestor, stop it. I'll talk to your father, alright?"
"Why bother father when you can just speak directly to Big Sis? Does she dare defy Grandmother?"
Situ Zhi knew the Old Madam didn't like Xuexue. He didn't know the exact reason, but it was a good thing for their siblings, at least the Old Madam stood on the same side as them, and that was enough to deal with Xuexue.
"Didn't Grandmother just say it? Xuexue's wings have grown hard, and she doesn't listen to me anymore. How could Grandmother persuade her? Better let your father handle it."
Before, Xuexue gave no face to her in public, and the Old Madam didn't have the confidence to control her. This girl, despite having wandered among commoners for over a decade, showed more of the demeanor of a legitimate daughter than any high-class young lady from elite society.
