Chapter 693 - 691: My Own Child Is Not Wrong
Yin Xiaocheng took the list and looked it over, managing only a bitter smile, yet what he said was a complaint about the Han family’s girl, "Prime Minister Han’s granddaughter really is clueless. Not to mention the Xinyan of today, but even in the past when Xinyan wasn’t using her head, where could she get any advantage over Xinyan? When she gets into a dispute with Xinyan, aside from taking losses and getting angry, what else could there be?"
An old servant who came in to refill the tea couldn’t help but twitch his mouth upon hearing Yin Xiaocheng’s words. Their Miss Cousin was famously unreasonable, and here the general was blaming the other young lady for being clueless, as if she had admitted defeat before even beginning the fight.
Yin Long put down his hand from massaging his temples and urged, "Alright, Xinyan has just gotten her marriage settled, we should still push this matter aside for the time being. You aren’t in the position to intervene in this matter, so first thing tomorrow morning, have Zhao Gang pay a visit to Duke An’s Mansion, and ask Xinyan about what happened. This list obviously looks excessively inflated, are our two families really in such need of her silver that she’s allowed to go on this wild goose chase? If the child hasn’t suffered any losses, just tell her to let it go and not pursue it further."
Having said this, Yin Long snorted heavily, apparently believing that the impudent girl wouldn’t be at a disadvantage. Otherwise, why would she simply present such a list and consider the matter closed?
Yin Xiaocheng shook the invoice, smiling as he said, "Father, just be content. No matter what, Xinyan has matured. At the very least, she didn’t engage in a verbal spat, nor did she rush forward to fight with the young lady herself. I reckon she hasn’t suffered any losses. This compensation list is probably just to give the Han family a bit of discomfort and is not to be taken seriously."
As Yin Xiaocheng was leaving, Yin Long added from behind, "Don’t mention this matter to your mother and your wife; we can avoid their nagging if they don’t find out."
Yin Xiaocheng chuckled, nodded in agreement, and turned to go find Zhao Gang.
