Although there were unpleasant disputes with Old Mrs. Qin and others, at least the air was cleared, and Qin Liuxi obtained the benefit of not having to attend the daily morning and evening rituals, which made her very satisfied. She was originally annoyed by such conventional rituals, and now not having to deal with them daily, the troubles were out of sight, which made her very happy.
This satisfaction was such that she was still humming a tune when she returned to her own courtyard.
Qi Huang laughed and said, "Others panic when they talk back to their elders and get scolded, but you seem overjoyed."
"I am naturally happy. I no longer have to adhere to those worldly, cumbersome customs regularly. Doing this wicked thing is quite worth it."
"You still need to take it easy. After all, Old Lady is getting on in years and her health is declining. If she really gets upset to a severe extent, this karma will inevitably fall on you," Qi Huang gently reminded.
