Nangong Xiaoxue said, "For the Yan family to produce a child as outstanding as Qianyi, it must be due to the good karma accumulated by your ancestors."
The implication was clear; it had little to do with Old Lady Yan.
Old Lady Yan caught the drift and defensively said, "Qianyi is so outstanding because she was well taught by me."
The two women, who had once compared and competed over a man, had never imagined that in their old age they would still be competing over their descendants.
Mu Yunlie sensed the atmosphere turning sour and quickly changed the topic, "The wedding between Qianyi and me should also be scheduled. Do you elders have any thoughts on this matter?"
Mention of the wedding piqued the interest of both Nangong Xiaoxue and Old Lady Yan, and even the usually silent Nangong Jie joined in the discussion with them.
All three shared the same opinions regarding the wedding, finally bringing harmony to the conversation and dissolving the awkwardness.
