Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability Chapter 2978: Paving a New Path for Himself

In other words, should they turn out to be completely unapproachable, he could leverage a few extra visits to the manor as a pretext to build a small tie between the Le Family and the City Lord Residence.

The true presence of any link holds no importance; the crucial aspect is the view held by outsiders regarding the bond between the Le Family and the City Lord Residence.

"Yes, Family Head."

Old Jing replied and then lifted his eyes toward the Head of the Le Family.

"Family Head, Steward Zhao offended that pair and Young City Lord Bai today. Should we offer some kind of amends?"

At these words, the Head of the Le Family considered the matter briefly and gave a nod.

Were it another person bold enough to mistreat members of his Le Family, he would never spare them lightly.

However, since the offender hails from the City Lord Residence, the situation changes. A conciliatory action is essential, or resentment could build. Forget gaining favor; they'd count themselves fortunate to avoid backlash.

The Head of the Le Family drew in a sharp breath and, hands planted on his hips, swore: "That useless instigator!"

Old Jing gave a casual shrug. Doesn't Steward Zhao's overbearing behavior beyond these walls stem partly from the Family Head's indulgence? Pointing it out at this stage changes little.

Starting as a mere servant, when such a one stirs up issues outside, the response must fit the deed—be it discipline, dismissal, or worse.

Still, under the Head of the Le Family's watch, certain individuals have drawn unwelcome scrutiny to the Le Family.

With merely a routine errand, they've provoked others and even pulled in the City Lord Residence. They truly invited this mess upon themselves.

"Instruct Steward Zhao to gather a lavish present, and have him... No, have the young masters go with him to the City Lord Residence to offer apologies to that pair."

The Head of the Le Family directed.

Considering their position, sending him solo means Steward Zhao might not even cross the threshold of the City Lord Residence.

Thus, his son should join as a fitting emblem of the Le Family.

"This... Very well."

Old Jing parted his lips as though to speak further, but ultimately sealed them shut.

He had hoped to urge the Family Head to join personally. Such a move would allow an encounter with the couple and pave the way for later interactions without undue strain.

Yet, it was evident the Family Head refused to humble himself that much.

Old Jing refrained from pressing, aware that should the Family Head face poor treatment at the City Lord Residence, the fault would land squarely on his shoulders.

As a mere advisor, he wouldn't stake his entire being for the Le Family. Preserving his own way out remained vital for his well-being.

"I will seek out the young masters at once."

He hoped that haughty young master wouldn't escalate the trouble.

No, he needed to brief the young masters thoroughly, lest any mishap occur and he bear the blame for inadequate guidance, shouldering the consequences yet again.

Exiting the courtyard of the Head of the Le Family, he gazed at the clear blue sky and let out a soft sigh. It appeared that lingering with the Le Family offered no long-term prospect; he had to chart a fresh course for himself.

In White Lion City, his reputation as the Le Family's advisor was well-known, making extended stays in the city untenable.

"What a pain."

He muttered while massaging his forehead.

Even a proper young miss from the Le Family could unravel it all. The Le Family had decayed through and through. No matter his skill, he couldn't salvage those determined to court their own ruin.

He called over a member of his group.
