As for Xue Manyu herself, he was rather helpless. After all, his father was above him. If he acted 'too harshly,' Xue Manyu could just complain to their father, and then he'd be the one getting reprimanded again.
He was indeed very helpless.
"It seems that Sect Master Xue is quite fond of this Third Miss," Qian Jiyun remarked coldly.
Facing his remark, what could Xue Jue say, anyway?
"Xue Manyu bears some resemblance to my late grandmother, and my father was extremely fond of my grandmother," he said.
An Jiuyue: "..."
So Sect Master Xue spoils his daughter this much because he's such a filial son?
Would Elder Lady Xue rise from her coffin and scold him for being unfilial if she knew her own son couldn't distinguish right from wrong, and indulged his daughter in her wrongdoings for the sake of his filial piety?
"That's quite good, actually."
She smiled, withholding her opinion.
