"Refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit, no matter what, you're still our princess's third uncle. Now it's good, you've completely destroyed that last bit of family affection. Hmph, see the outcome? Even if there were good things, I'd feed them to the dogs rather than give them to you!"
Gu Wu was infuriated, being scolded by Gu Youyou was one thing, but this was merely a servant by Gu Youyou's side, who was she to scold him?
But he was too hungry to fight back with any retort.

As for Prime Minister Zhang, he already felt something was off on the way back.
