"Thank you, madam, for protecting my elder sister," said Fu Shinian.
Madam Xiao wasn't surprised that Fu Shinian would consider this aspect; even if Fu Shinian didn't say it, both parties understood tacitly.
After all, that matter wasn't glorious.
"This matter isn't worthy of thanks," Madam Xiao said. "It happened in my mansion, and it was the dirty scheming of an unfilial son from my mansion. No matter what, he belongs to my mansion, and I have a responsibility."
Fu Shinian shook his head and said, "Madam, you could have chosen not to intervene. Besides, everyone knows Xiao Fengxing has nothing to do with you."
The old Marquis Changping was known in the capital for favoring his concubine and neglecting his wife.
At that time, Aunt Liu was quite an influential figure in the Marquis's residence.
Xiao Fengxing naturally grew up under Aunt Liu's care.
What good could come from being raised by Aunt Liu?
