Madame Jia, who had been lying on the ground feigning death behind Yi Zhonghai, surged to her feet. Before anyone could react, she rushed forward, grabbed Jia Dongxu, and roared at the top of her lungs, "Yi Zhonghai, don't you even think about it! My Dongxu is a member of the Jia family. Even if Old Jia hasn't come home—let alone if he were actually dead—Dongxu would still belong to the Jia family!"
In Madame Jia’s eyes, her son was her entire world; even Jia Fugui had to take second place. The spark of a scheme that had just ignited in Yi Zhonghai's mind was instantly extinguished, though it left a lingering crack in his thoughts. He needed to carefully consider his next move, but the most pressing question was: where exactly was Jia Fugui?
Ignoring the wailing Madame Jia, Yi Zhonghai turned to Qin Shuli and said, "Little Qin, Dongxu is a child of the Jia family. Don't say things like that in front of your Aunt Jia again."
