Mr. Zhao watched helplessly as Lu Xuan was chased away like a stray dog, and despite his contempt, he developed a bit of respect and fear for the young Commandery Princess.
Someone ruthless enough to be harsh to her own father is not to be easily provoked.
Mr. Zhao's attitude visibly became much more courteous.
Jiang Shaohua smiled and exchanged a few pleasantries, then invited Mr. Zhao to settle down for a rest, casually instructing, "These days, let Qiu Dianshan accompany Mr. Zhao and make sure he feels at home. If the hospitality is lacking and Mr. Zhao is displeased, I will hold only Qiu Dianshan accountable."
Qiu Yuanshang wished he could slap himself.
Why did you speak out of turn just now! You made the Commandery Princess unhappy, and immediately got stuck with this hot-potato task!
Eunuchs have capricious and unpredictable temperaments; they're not easy to serve.
But with the Commandery Princess's command, there was no room for negotiation.
