The uglier Father Fan's face got, the happier Fan Ping was. Mother Fan looked thoughtfully at Fan Ping, who was pretending to be calm, and immediately spoke up for her son. "Ah De, our son isn't back yet. It's too early for us to come to a conclusion. Why don't we wait for him to come back?"
There were a few elders sitting in the main hall who hadn't spoken all this time. The great elder who usually doted on Fan Yin the most spoke up and advised Father Fan, "Mingruo's words make sense. Why don't we wait for Ah Yin to come back and ask about this? What if we wrong this child?"
Most of the other elders of the Fan family, who were dissatisfied with Fan Yin and couldn't wait for him to step down from his position as heir, could only keep quiet.
Seeing this, Fan Ping resented Mother Fan and the great elder for being biased, but he deliberately said, "Aunt and the great elder are right. Uncle, Elders, why don't we wait for Brother Yin to come back?"
