In Shi'en Hall, Xu Chongyi watched the chaos outside with a fluctuating expression, while Xu Chuanyin had already abandoned the mess and left.
He turned his gaze to Zhang Xia and Mrs. Zhang, speaking in a deep voice: "Are you outsiders intent on turning the Xu Family into the laughingstock of the Jiangnan scholars before you'll be satisfied?"
Zhang Xia stood behind Mrs. Zhang, calmly saying, "The Xu Family didn't just become a laughingstock today; it started when Xu Chuanxi and Xu Chuanyin couldn't measure up. If either of them could bear the responsibilities of the Xu Family, the Second Grandfather wouldn't have passed the position of Clan Leader to my uncle."
Xu Chongyi said in a solemn tone: "Nonsense! Your so-called incapable Xu Chuanxi is now the Minister of the Ministry of Justice and is about to enter the cabinet any day now."
