Seeing that Shen Qinglan didn’t answer, Xuan Ying glanced at her mother and obediently didn’t ask further.

Duan Wenxuan and Feng Qishu stood silently by the side.

Shen Qinglan looked at Bi Chen and said, "Now that you’re going back, have you thought about how to deal with your father and your brother?"

Once Nanny Kong is gone, the other members of the Bi Family are likely to move out.

Bi Chen sighed softly and said in a low voice, "The Old Madam said they can continue living in the Luo Mansion, but they must not bring those scandalous people back."

Shen Qinglan continued asking, "If they cling to you again when you go back, what will you do?"

"They won’t!" Bi Chen replied firmly, "I have long severed ties with the Bi Family. They have no right to demand that I take responsibility for anything related to them."

She had done enough for the Bi Family over the years, repaying her debts long ago. The familial affection was exhausted when they insisted on sending her to be someone else’s concubine, disregarding her life and death.

"It’s best that you’ve figured it out!" Shen Qinglan said, "Xuan Ming and the others are here."

Upon hearing this, Bi Chen turned around and indeed saw Xuan Ming leading a carriage with Duan Yunfei walking over.

"Father!"

As soon as Xuan Ying saw Xuan Ming, she quickly broke free from Bi Chen’s embrace and ran towards Xuan Ming.

Xuan Ming, holding the reins in one hand, caught her with the other and said as they walked, "Be careful not to fall."

Xuan Ying stuck out her tongue and giggled, "I won’t fall."

Xuan Ming shook his head helplessly, and when they reached the mountain gate, he called out to Shen Qinglan, "Young Madam, and the two young masters."

The two of them quickly responded, "Uncle Xuan Ming!"

"By the way!" Xuan Ming looked at Shen Qinglan and Duan Yunfei and asked, "How are Xuan Ying and Young Master Le doing?"

Duan Yunfei shook his head slightly, "Uncle Le doesn’t compromise easily."

Xuan Ming paused for a moment upon hearing this and then said indifferently, "If that’s the case, we’ll be on our way first!"

The two nodded, "Take care on the road."

"Alright!" Xuan Ming nodded, quickly had his wife and child get in the carriage, and the coachman and attendants followed.

The two respectfully bid farewell to Duan Yunfei and Shen Qinglan before driving the carriage down the mountain.

Once the carriage left their sight, everyone turned their gaze back.

Duan Wenxuan asked, "Mother, isn’t Xuan Ying’s grandmother nice?"

Before Shen Qinglan could answer, Duan Yunfei frowned and said, "Why are you asking that?"

"Can’t I ask?" Duan Wenxuan earnestly retorted.

Watching the father and son confront each other, Shen Qinglan couldn’t help but giggle.

Duan Yunfei glanced at her, then looked at Duan Wenxuan and said sternly, "A man should not concern himself with such trivial matters, got it?"

"Why?" Duan Wenxuan was puzzled.

Feng Qishu said, "My father always said that a man should have ambitions for the world and shouldn’t involve himself in others’ family affairs."

Duan Wenxuan seemed to partially understand and nodded, "Oh!"

"Oh?" Shen Qinglan chuckled, "Did you understand?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"Nope!"

Duan Yunfei said, somewhat exasperated, "At least you’re honest."

On the contrary, Feng Qishu patiently said, "It’s okay if Wenxuan doesn’t understand now; he’ll understand when he grows up. I didn’t understand when I was young, either!"

"In that case, I’ll wait until I grow up to understand." With that, Duan Wenxuan clasped his hands behind his back and walked ahead.

His posture was like that of an old man, leaving Duan Yunfei and Shen Qinglan behind, both amused and exasperated.

Feng Qishu laughed as well, "Wenxuan must have seen the elder walking that way too many times!"
