「Le City Prefect's Office」
The moment Housekeeper Wu saw their guest out, Prefect Nan's expression darkened.
"This is outrageous," Prefect Nan slammed his hand on the table. "That Tian Zhuang is nothing but a merchant, yet he dares to tell me what to do."
Just then, Lady Nan emerged from behind the screen. "What are we going to do? We're caught between a rock and a hard place.
It would have been so much better if everyone had just compromised. Did things really have to get this confrontational?
Right now, neither Minister Huang nor General Zhou are people we can afford to offend."
Prefect Nan looked at his wife. "What do you think I should do?"
Previously, because of the note from the Minister's Mansion, Prefect Nan had released Tian Zhuang and hastily closed the case.
He had assumed that the new Prefect of Lv City, Ancient Wenheng, would just swallow his pride and not dare to offend the Huang Mansion. He figured the matter would be over and done with.
