"You're not going about this the right way. As the saying goes, 'no discord, no concord.' Since you're a friend of Young Master He, even if you offended my cousin before, you shouldn't make things too difficult for him. How about this, as long as you apologize to my cousin Fengting, we'll let it go. From now on, you'll stay by Fengting's side and obey his commands," the Fifth Prince said, his eyes twinkling with a new idea.
This person knows He Qingwei, so he should show He Qingwei some respect and not dishearten those who follow him. But if he lets him go just like that, Qu Fengting would feel disheartened. Having him apologize in public satisfies He Qingwei's pride. Even if Qu Fengting is still a bit unhappy, keeping him around to follow Qu Fengting's orders means he can still trample on him as he pleases, and he would surely be content.
When word gets out, others would say the Fifth Prince is magnanimous and tolerant, gaining both face and substance.
