Ye Xizhao represented the future of the Ye Family. With his death, the future path of the Ye Family became difficult, though many appeared to mourn, they likely felt secretly delighted.
The Xu Family might be the biggest beneficiary.
Facing the aggressive Ye Family, the Xu Family finally breathed a sigh of relief, even the internal conflicts temporarily subsided.
Those among the Xu Family who supported the marriage alliance between the Xu and Ye families also fell silent. The person for the marriage is dead; surely, they wouldn't send Xu Qixi to become a widow?
This is unacceptable even to ordinary families, let alone a prestigious family like the Xu Family, especially since there wasn't any formal engagement between the two families.
Mourning clothes were everywhere in the Ye Family.
The people coming to pay their condolences were endless. Even Wan Bin, the inspector from the Imperial Pharmacy sent by the court, personally visited, which was no small honor.
