Before dawn.

Earlier, everyone felt quite friendly and chatty, but there was an underlying sense of formality. Now, after Qian Yan's incident, our relationships naturally grew closer.
Old Madam Qi's expression wasn't as impeccably cheerful as it was the first time we met. She sighed and vented to Chuxia and her mother: "You might think I'm somewhat lacking in judgment towards Yanyan.
But isn't everyone like this? Their mother and daughter pair have been the kindest to our siblings, and we've been the most sincere to them. Over time, naturally, we're closer than others.
As family, it's impossible to always be concerned only with right or wrong. To be honest, if I ever had to choose between you two and Yanyan, my choice would certainly be Yanyan. No matter how outrageous her mistakes are, I'd still choose her."
