Today, Ye Zao found Fourth Master particularly pleasing to the eye.
Although she always knew he wasn't blindly filial, today when he forbade the children from reading such rubbish, she thought he truly was an enlightened and visionary Emperor.
One must know that filial piety is also a tool for the Emperor. Used well, it can control many things.
But he would not teach his children to be fools.
In this way, how could Fourth Master not appreciate Ye Zao's sentiments?
He felt happy, but his joy was tinged with heartache.
It was truly heart-wrenching.
This fox, back in the mansion, was always careful and cautious due to her low status. Only after Fourth Master's ascension to the palace did he gradually realize how often she put on an act.
However, Fourth Master was not angry; he understood how difficult things were for her back then. How else could she survive?
Later on, Fourth Master found this fox's true nature was truly exasperating yet utterly beloved.
