But the First Young Madam Teng clearly did not accept the favor. Xiqiu wondered if she believed that because the Emperor ascended the throne smoothly due to the Teng Family's support, they held the same fatal weaknesses as the Dongchang Bo Mansion. The Emperor regarded the Teng Family highly because of this, and could they use this to leap over the dragon gate and restore their family prestige?
But why didn't she consider, the most unpredictable thing is the Emperor's will. Just as He elevates, He can suppress; in a moment, the cloud can turn to mud. If that time truly comes, the hundred-year-old Marquis Mansion would be their last reliance. Being in-laws, they could only attach themselves to the Marquis Mansion to possibly save their lives.
Always be prepared for danger in times of safety!
