As they walked along, Li Yuan saw that the Xia Family relatives' attitudes were truly worlds apart.
Some were very supportive, while others were filled with disdain.
Perhaps because Li Yuan came from an ordinary background, the disdain in those people's eyes was utterly undisguised.
They could not even be bothered to hide it, openly displaying their dissatisfaction for Li Yuan to see.

Xia Cheng pointed at the attendants carrying the items.

To be honest, the things those two attendants carried were indeed
