Hearing Rao Shou's words, Tang Wanli nodded with a smile.
He said, "At first, when you supported Old Lei and Old Hu, I thought you had dementia."
"Those two play politics too much. They think they can use tricks to handle Qiu Tu."
"But we know, Qiu Tu is not someone who can be manipulated."
"They think Qiu Tu is a loyal minister who will play by the rules with them. Yet, they don't understand that Qiu Tu never likes to play by the rules."
"With Qiu Tu's personality, if the Sanctuary really tries to control him, he's likely to leave with his people and land, either to join another Sanctuary or establish his own."
"That's why I looked at you in surprise at that time."
Tang Wanfeng's tone changed as he said, "However... seeing how you decisively supported Old Lei and Old Hu's proposal afterwards, I felt something was wrong."
"So, I thought it over and guessed your intentions."
Rao Shou smiled and responded, "But... you know Hu Jie is very suspicious."
