"Speak freely."
"The eighth son has just become the Champion Scholar and has been appointed the Chancellor of the Central Secretariat. If the old lady were to... the eighth son would need to observe mourning for three years..."
Though the steward's reminder was disrespectful, it also reminded Ji Youyuan that if his mother truly couldn't hold on, the eighth's career path...
"This matter... if Ninth Sister returns from the palace, mention it to her."
"Ah..."
