The Li Family received a cold shoulder from Ye Qiu, and she felt that Ye Qiu was deliberately mocking her. Since Old General Lin had already vouched for him, why not make things clear once and for all? Why make her lose face?
She couldn't say anything, though; her husband's joyous demeanor made it evident that if she spoke too much, she'd face unpleasant consequences.
Watching her husband usher the bastard son inside, Li Family vented her anger on her own son: "All you do is grin foolishly. Your brother is being promoted and titled, what are you so happy about? What does it have to do with you? Aren't you ashamed? Your brother has Old Lin General as a matchmaker, but what do you have? In the future, people will say a legitimate son like you isn't as good as a bastard. Does that bring you pride?"
