孟允峥 went out, yet Old Master Miao still sat there in place, gripping the wine cup in his hand, not moving for a long time.
The attendant looked at him with some worry. After a while, he heard his deep voice say, "After we return to the prefecture tomorrow, go to Piaoxiang Courtyard and tell Liu Ru to forget about setting up that Zhang fellow outside the city, let his daughter go."
The attendant, shocked, looked up. He knew well about this matter: that Zhang old man had offended the Lord. Upon seeing that the old man's daughter was quite beautiful, the Lord wanted to bring her to Piaoxiang Courtyard—first, for revenge, and second, to add a fresh face to the Courtyard.
Thus, they plotted against Zhang, attempting to make him owe gambling debts and use his daughter as collateral.
And now the Lord actually plans to give up on this matter?
The attendant softly asked, "Lord, is it because... of what Monarch Lu Xiang said?"
