"This Yi family wasn't originally from around here. They say one of their ancestors is an elder at Danxia Palace. Back when the Bai family met with disaster, they were sent here to take charge.

"That Lord Yi has two major vices: first, he loves money, and second, he loves women. Not to mention how the Bai family's properties gradually fell into his hands; if he took a fancy to another family's assets, they mostly couldn't keep them either. Normally he is tightfisted to a fault, and even drove several of his brothers to move out and set up their own households."
