To tell the truth, Jia thought in that moment that Fang Ze had been driven mad by the Sima family recently to have such wild ideas.
Of course, although this is what he thought, he certainly wouldn't say it out loud.
So, he smiled and advised Fang Ze, "My dear nephew, there's no need for that."
"I'm actually not very keen on spectacles. And..."
At this point, he paused, truly speaking from the bottom of his heart for Fang Ze's sake, "Each noble family has lasted so many years because they certainly have their own capabilities."
"There are some things we really shouldn't confront head-on."
"Harmony brings wealth, after all."
Upon hearing his sincere words, Fang Ze was momentarily lost for words, smiling wryly. He didn't press Jia like a child asking whether he didn't believe him, but instead, he simply retorted, "Then, uncle, can you accept the terms I proposed?"
