"I don’t know! How am I supposed to know if he really likes me or not."
That answer only made the situation more chaotic.
Meanwhile, Xi Wenzhe had remained silent throughout the entire discussion.
Unlike everyone else, he wasn’t focused on Zhao Mingyuan.
Nor was he focused on the Prime Minister’s son.
Instead, his thoughts had landed elsewhere.
His gaze slowly shifted toward the empty seat Su Yueqing had occupied earlier.
For some reason, he could already imagine what breakfast must have looked like.
The women sitting here, Su Yueqing eating peacefully and everyone else suffering emotional damage.
A strange expression appeared briefly on his face.
Across from him, Gu Zhen noticed it immediately.
Then he sighed deeply.
The sigh carried all the exhaustion of a man who had survived far too much before noon.
"This family cannot continue like this."
"I take back what I said earlier."
Everyone looked at him.
"Worst breakfast in the history of breakfasts."
This time, even Xi Jianyu nodded in agreement.
...
"Where is Su Yueqing now?" Xi Wenzhe finally said something.
The conversation paused.
Several people immediately looked toward him.
Xi Ronghua raised an eyebrow.
"Oh? You are actually asking about your wife?"
Xi Wenzhe ignored her.
His gaze remained on Lin Meiyun.
The Duchess calmly placed her teacup down.
"After breakfast, I had a maid escort her back to your residence."
Xi Wenzhe frowned slightly.
"My residence?"
Lin Meiyun nodded.
"I also ordered all the servants and maids working there to gather in the main courtyard so she could meet them."
The moment those words were spoken, Xi Yunchen suddenly sat upright.
His eyes widened slightly.
Then a strange expression appeared on his face.
"Wait."
Everyone looked at him.
Xi Yunhao immediately became suspicious.
"What?"
Xi Yunchen slowly pointed toward the direction of Xi Wenzhe’s residence.
"That means Sister-in-Law is currently meeting dozens of servants."
"Yes."
"And she was already upset about moving into Elder Brother’s residence."
"Yes."
"And nobody explained anything to her beforehand."
Lin Meiyun hesitated.
"...No."
Xi Yunchen immediately looked toward the sky.
Then he sighed dramatically.
"Then there’s definitely going to be drama."
