Marquis Dongxiang's proposal is impeccable.
The Emperor was prepared to agree.
Then Duke Chong stood up and said, "Your Majesty, taking care of the Old Duke is my duty, how can I trouble Your Majesty? I will bring my father back immediately."
The Emperor frowned slightly.
Marquis Dongxiang looked at Duke Chong and said, "The Chong Mansion is truly capricious, using the Old Duke as a pretext for the Emperor to help preserve your mansion."
"Accepting defeat gracefully, the Emperor only, for the Old Duke's sake, swallowed his pride to decree the division of your mansion."
"Now that the wall is repaired, you want to take the Old Duke again."
"So, do you mean that yesterday there was a risk to the Old Duke's life if he moved, but today it's fine?!"
"Is Duke Chong resentful that the Emperor didn't help you reclaim your mansion, or is he distrustful of those the Emperor sent to care for the Old Duke?"
The voice of Marquis Dongxiang was resounding.
