Mrs. Li was at a loss for words for a moment, then glanced at Xingzhi who was silently weeping beside her, thinking to herself that forced will can't make things better, and a twisted melon is never sweet. Since Sang Wan is already upset, and Xingzhi herself is unwilling, it'd be better not to pursue this issue. Otherwise, it might cause more trouble in the future, which wouldn't be good.
"So, how does Lady Sang Wan plan to handle this situation?" Mrs. Li then asked with a smile.
Sang Wan sighed softly and said, "That's exactly why it's difficult; that's why I asked you, elder, to come—hoping to discuss and get some advice! No matter what, she's my elder cousin by blood; I don't want to sever our relationship over this issue, as it wouldn't look good publicly and would be upsetting for both mother and the young master. But she has really gone too far this time, and Xingzhi is my right hand; I simply cannot let it go just like that!"
