Seeing this, Lady Gao rushed to the Prime Minister's side.
"Whatever the cost of the horse and carriage, the Prime Minister's manor will not short you a single coin." Though furious, Prime Minister Gao saw he had no choice but to protect his wife.
"Prime Minister Gao is most generous." The middle-aged man bowed and stepped aside.
Lady Gao was fuming.
Prime Minister Gao grabbed her and roughly dragged her before the Crown Prince of Xi Yan.
"Your Highness, this is all my wife's fault. I beg for Your Highness's forgiveness," Prime Minister Gao said with a bow.
Xiliu Yuan ignored Prime Minister Gao, turning instead to Ye Qianning. "I have misunderstood you, Miss Xiang. I will be sure to visit tomorrow to offer my formal apologies."
Prime Minister Gao's expression turned ugly. But since the Crown Prince of Xi Yan was showing Ye Qianning such deference, he knew this matter wouldn't be resolved if he didn't soften his tone.
