Ye Wenjie ran off with joy and was nowhere to be seen!
Upon hearing his brother-in-law's words, Hongji paused and glanced at the maid who had just reported.
Mrs. Li snapped out of it after listening to Li Zhihao and then asked the maid, "Did the guard mention if the Old Lady and the Second Lady, along with the young Lady, have returned?"
"Madam, the guard only said the Old Lady has returned and didn't mention the Second Lady or the young Lady!" the maid confirmed with certainty!
The excitement Hongji felt a moment ago was suddenly doused with cold water. He exchanged a glance with Mrs. Li and realized that the return of the Old Lady would likely bring them unrest, not just today but perhaps in the future. Although they had bought a house, the blood ties would inevitably lead to conflicts!
Since we refer to ourselves as the Old Lady, they cannot refuse entry, as it would be unreasonable and make them seem illogical. At this moment, whatever they do is wrong.
