"I truly apologize for the misconduct, not knowing that the family of Duke Zhen's Mansion was here."
Lord Tian was merely a Ninth Grade official, a rank considered insignificant. Seeing such a colossal entity like Duke Zhen's Mansion, he naturally showed utmost respect. What he thought to himself was that regardless of who from the Duke Mansion it was, they certainly had familial ties to the mansion, otherwise, they wouldn't have a card from the Young Master.
"Sir, look at this room..."
Lord Tian immediately understood Mrs. Gao's implications. How could the women from such a prominent family allow him to search the house casually? He was just a minor official, naturally, he dared not conduct searches recklessly.
"Oh! We only wish to search and see if there are any missed river bandits or possible internal accomplices on the ship. How could there be in the lady's room?" In reality, all the river bandits were caught, and searching the house was merely a formality.
