The Old Duke Chong showed neither anger nor joy.
He neither sided with Duke Chong nor favored outsiders.
So it remained unclear whether he was satisfied with Su Chong's attempt at compensation.
Recalling Mrs. Tang's advice to be respectful, made Su Chong's head ache.
He reminisced about coaxing his younger sister back at Qingyun Mountain after upsetting her.
Most often, he chased after her, coaxing her, sometimes even crying on the bed with his back to her.
But the Old Duke Chong was facing him, so the situation was different.
Regardless, he decided to give it a shot.
Su Chong sat at the bedside.
The steward of Duke Chong's Mansion's face changed, scolding, "Insolent! Who allowed you to sit so close to the Old Duke's bed...?"
Before he finished speaking, the steward of Duke Chong's Mansion swallowed his words.
Because he saw a shocking scene.
The Old Duke raised his hand.
Though it was only halfway, it fell back down with exhaustion.
