Bao Mingyuan grinned awkwardly, "Nothing can be hidden from the old lady."
After much consideration, he said, "The old lady must be aware of today's events. Ruanruan is quite capable!"
The old lady lifted her eyelids, "What are you scheming now?"
She said fiercely, "One moment you want her to match with Gu Ze, the next you want to betroth her to Mu Jiu. Do you think I don't know about these things?"
Bao Mingyuan blushed with shame, "Your son has been foolish."
He gave a signal to Gui Zhi by the side.
Gui Zhi smoothed things over, "Previously, Mingyuan didn't recognize the true value."
"I knew Aunt Gui would understand me," Bao Mingyuan laughed.
The old lady slapped her son, "Glib-tongued!"
Bao Mingyuan restrained his smile, speaking earnestly, "This is what I think! After me, Jingyan will undoubtedly inherit the reins of Di Jing, but the family... Jingyan's disposition is too resolute, I'm afraid Ziqi and Jingyuan will have no standing in the future."
