Shen Wuzheng glanced at him and then said, "My sister had people escort us to Duke Sheng, and during these days, we have also been under the care of the Duke's people. I thought, going over there empty-handed seems a bit inappropriate."
Yu Wenye's eyes narrowed slightly.
Shen Wuzheng's words were very polite and tactful, but as a noble family's descendant, he understood the meaning behind them—
Although Duke Sheng holds a high position, and Mr. and Mrs. Shen have long been deposed and exiled, clearly incomparable; however, after all, the two families are considered old family friends, and while official ranks may differ, personal relations should be equal; but now, with Mr. and Mrs. Shen going to seek refuge with Yu Wenquan, they are at a complete disadvantage, even if Duke Sheng doesn't mind, there is inevitably some disparity in the minds of Mr. and Mrs. Shen.
If left unattended, over time, the Shens' hearts would surely be very tormented.
