Jinrong pointed at the receding figure of Ye Xinyan, first casting an incredulous gaze towards Guan He, finding no empathy there, then she turned to Qi Younian.
Qi Younian quickly stepped forward, putting on a smile and said, "Ye Zi isn't the kind of child without manners. It's freezing out, and she's been outside for the better part of the day—she must be terribly cold, probably rushing back to get warm. Please, forgive her rudeness, Sixth Master."
Is this what they call defending one's kin? Jinrong glared at Qi Younian and huffed, "Your granddaughter—how could we not know whether she has manners?" She's not ill-mannered? In the entire world, there's no woman more lacking in manners than her.
Old Master Qi is a good man in many ways, but he is overly protective. His grandsons and granddaughters can do no wrong in his eyes; all are perfect in every way.
