The man nodded, saying just a brief "yes."
Then, seeing that Song Hong had no further orders, he silently withdrew.
Song Hong angrily slapped the table: "How did I end up with such a fool for a son! Trying to negotiate with a tiger, does he think his life is too long? Ever since the incident with Lady Wang, Duke Qiguo has held a grudge against our family. He hasn't been able to do anything about us, which is why things have remained peaceful for now."
"And this fool goes knocking on others' doors seeking cooperation! Hasn't he thought about how, even if the Wang Family helps him to become the princely heir, the act of betraying his own brother would be held over him by the Wang Family? In the future, they could manipulate him as they please!"
