Madam Qi once said, “Most men’s weakness is not themselves but their family members. That’s why bold young men often become more timid when they start building a family. They will be more cautious, as they are always thinking about their responsibilities as a father and husband. In a way, they live for others.” 0

She also said that people with families to support were easy to manipulate. They would have no choice but to accept her terms, and they would not dare to offend her. On the contrary, most bachelors like Qi Xuansu, who only worried about themselves, were the real thorn in the side. They would do whatever they liked without scruples. Apart from using brute force, there was really no good way to deal with someone like that.0

At the moment, Qi Xuansu was still considered a bachelor. His relatively low status came with its own benefits. People might try to use him to threaten Zhang Yuelu or Madam Qi, but no one could use them to threaten him. After all, if someone truly had the ability to get at those two, they would not need to threaten Qi Xuansu. They could simply take him down directly.0

In a sense, Qi Xuansu had very little to fear, so he did not care if others played dirty. His only real weakness was his identity as a member of the Qingping Society....0
