"What do you mean they lack virtue and talent? The academy's disciple tokens were delivered to our home," Old Madam Xiang retorted.
"If the little girl hadn't written a letter to the headmaster, would he have let a worthless bum like Si Yan set foot on Lou Mountain? Hmph! Your son, Xiang Minghou, certainly doesn't have that kind of pull," Old Master Gu snorted.
"My son is a General! Who dares not show him some respect? What kind of pull could a little bastard have?" Old Madam Xiang's words were barbed whenever she mentioned Ye Qianning.
