The whole affair was a ridiculous farce.
Once everyone had calmed down, no one said another word about Chen Yi.
In their minds, he already had a rock-bottom reputation—a rarity not just in the Xiao Family, but across the entire Shu State.
Verbally confronting a powerful general was exactly the sort of thing they expected from him.
Even Second Master Xiao Wang, a man known for his strict enforcement of family rules, was powerless against this live-in son-in-law after learning of Xiao Jinghong's stance.
So what could anyone else do?
Li Changqing, on the other hand, was a different story.
After that brief exchange, it wasn't hard for the crowd to discern his intentions.
Because of this, the First and Second Branches of the Xiao Family, as well as the more distant relatives and honored guests, all started looking at Li Changqing strangely.
This sort of thing would have been more acceptable before Xiao Jinghong was married. It could have been called "deep-seated affection."
