This is where the cleverness of the Huainan Prince's son lies; first, he admits his official position is lesser, and then he uses the Prince's authority to make others yield.
Cao Ninger essentially shot himself in the foot, jumping into the pit himself; he can't blame anyone else.
Cao Ninger can only give way; as for those who died, each must deal with it themselves.
The Huainan Prince's son is aware that members of the Royal Palace were injured or killed, but at least the Royal Palace's dignity is maintained. Regarding the casualties, he can only opt to let it go and minimize the incident.
Offer more silver taels, otherwise, blowing the matter out of proportion is unfavorable for everyone, especially with the family banquet approaching. It's best to avoid magnifying the issue if possible.
The Huainan Prince's son is a wise person, seeing through things with extreme clarity.
Cao Ninger is, after all, trusted by The Emperor, moreover by the Empress Dowager. Caution is necessary.
