Since this was Shen Qing's order, Liu Zhao had to comply.
He acknowledged the order and turned to leave. But when he saw Song Xingzhi sticking close to Shen Qing, his brow twitched. "Brother Song," he said, "if you have nothing to do, stop hovering around Her Ladyship."
Song Xingzhi had just witnessed Shen Qing achieve a resounding victory and was filled with boundless admiration for his senior. He heard Liu Zhao's words and retorted indignantly, "Why not? Miss Shen is my friend. Can't I even talk with her?
Besides, Miss Shen must be lonely all by herself here. I'm just the person to keep her company."
"You... Ugh!"
Liu Zhao desperately wanted to crack open this guy's blockhead to see what was inside. In the end, he could only say with a deadpan expression, "Miss Shen is, after all, the wife of Prime Minister Yu. Prime Minister Yu will not want to see a man constantly hovering around his wife. If you're not afraid of offending Prime Minister Yu, then by all means, continue."
