"As the Seventh Princess Consort said herself, one should refrain from meddling in the affairs of other families," the amiable Old Princess Consort spoke during the tense atmosphere between Xia Yixiao and Lin Jingxian.
The husband of the Old Princess Consort was a brother of Emperor Xingwu. Although he had passed away, the Old Princess Consort still held some prestige among the royal kin. Besides, she was generally known to be kind and just, so Xia Yixiao had no intention of opposing her.
She merely chuckled and replied, "Imperial Aunt is right. We shouldn't meddle in others' affairs, regardless of whose they are. It's only proper for a legitimate son to inherit the family business. Fifth Brother is also considering his two children before he appoints a Princely Heir and a Commandery Princess. He's not really confused. We all just find Heng'er so clever and adorable that we can't help but dote on him a bit more."
