Cheng Wenhong has been overwhelmed with issues recently, so busy that he's at his wit's end. The people around him knew about the incident at the teahouse but dared not trouble him with it.
It wasn't until the next day on the court, when Zhu Jueyuan, filled with righteous indignation, reported him that Cheng Wenhong learned about the teahouse incident from the previous day. Instantly, he was ablaze with anger, wishing he could strangle Lady Cai, who was no help and even dragged him down.
The Emperor, in front of all the civil and military officials, scolded Cheng Wenhong again, implicitly suggesting that if he couldn't even manage his family affairs, he should not hold his official position.
Cheng Wenhong listened with cold sweat breaking out, and this time not even the Crown Prince hinted at speaking a word in his defense, causing Cheng Wenhong's heart to sink to rock bottom.
