Old General Sun chuckled, pleased with himself.
"You're still young. There's much more for you to discover in the future, hahaha!"
The Sun Family, convinced that Shao Yunduan's downfall was inevitable, hadn't paid him much mind. They were content to sit back and watch the spectacle, waiting for his eventual demise.
As for the Second Prince, he believed Shao Yunduan was loyal but didn't immediately seek his allegiance due to his disdain for House Sun. Instead, he hoped Shao Yunduan would strengthen himself in Huaixi Province, becoming a powerful ally in the future without any strings attached.
In the Second Prince's eyes, Shao Yunduan was becoming increasingly inconspicuous, and no one dared provoke him.
Upon learning of Shao Yunduan's land acquisition, the Fourth Prince felt a twinge of apprehension. He had never underestimated Shao Yunduan, neither in the past nor now. However, being in the distant capital, he lacked the means to confront Shao Yunduan, even if he wished to.
