Chapter 593 - 591 Hurry Up
Qi Younian was shocked and flattered by the favor when he came to pay respects to Duke An daily, a blessing unimaginable to the common folk. It was dignity granted by Duke An himself, and as a family elder, he had to embrace it.
"The two children have caused quite a bit of trouble for the Mansion before. I’m fortunate that the Duke does not despise them, and I’m truly grateful beyond words. If the Duke needs anything in the future, just command, and let these two come to serve at any time."
"Hahaha, that’s good to hear. I will remember your words, Younger Brother Qi, and you can’t go back on them. Come, come, sit down, Younger Brother Qi, let’s talk while seated."
Duke An had Qi Younian sit in the guest seat, while he took his place in the host seat. "Yuanfan, you and the two youngsters sit too."
Ye Xinyan observed the formality of the room and voluntarily walked over to stand behind Duke An. Yet in her heart, she felt stifled, for who asked her to be a woman? Who asked for women in this world to hold such low status?
Duke An, seeing Ye Xinyan come over to stand behind him, couldn’t help but smile. After all, she was his granddaughter. Look at her, such a dear child.
"Younger Brother Qi has done well with home education; these children are so well-taught, truly enviable," Duke An remarked as he looked each child over with a sigh.
Qi Younian hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Grace is too kind. It’s only because of your guidance that my granddaughter has brought great benefits to my family. Without Ye Zi, these two boys would merely be ignorant, wild lads running around the countryside, lacking knowledge and awareness. Even I owe Ye Zi for leading and assisting me to accomplish a few things."
