452: Eat when it's time to eat, drink when it's time to drink

"Could First Mrs. Li really accept all this?" Su Xinyi doubted it was likely. Considering that First Mrs. Li still controlled the Li Family's central affairs even after Li Ji was exiled, she did not seem like someone to concede easily.

"Of course she couldn't," Zhu Chanyi scoffed. "But First Mrs. Li also has children."

Noting Su Xinyi's expression, Zhu Chanyi continued, "First Mrs. Li could never have anticipated that the tactics she used to control the children of the second branch would now be used against her. Only she can understand the taste of her own medicine."

Su Xinyi then said, "So First Mrs. Li has compromised?"

"It's still not clear because First Mrs. Li hasn't come forward to confess, but with Li Ji unable to return to the capital, Second Mr. Li breaking with the Li Family, and First Mrs. Li's only reliance being the aging Empress Dowager Li, my grandfather said she must be quite aware that she doesn't have many options left," Zhu Chanyi explained.
