He also felt that the whole mess was stirred up by Xu Erya, and that Mrs. Feng, truly was a culprit of squandering the family wealth.
He slammed the table furiously, "Mrs. Feng, you and your daughter go back to your room. You are forbidden from eating today."
"I..."
Xu Erya was fuming with rage, her face ashen as she yearned to argue with the Old Master, but Xu Zhiyong quickly held her back, "Didn't you hear what your grandfather said? Hurry back to your room with your mother."
Anning has been grieving for the deceased Xu Zhiwen, making it difficult for Xu Zhiyong to pull her away.
He really had no choice at this point. If he sided with Mrs. Feng and Xu Erya, people would surely say he couldn't tolerate his widowed sister-in-law.
But he also knew that Mrs. Feng and Xu Erya were not at fault, the blame was solely because Xu Erya misspoke, and thus invited such trouble.
