The steward was waiting for Fan Tong to arrive.
Upon hearing that Fan Tong wanted to see Chief Historian Deng, he sneered, "You must have some nerve to even think you can meet with a man of such stature."
"Scholar Fan, the Chief Historian will not see you," the steward said, "You claimed the credit for saving the Chief Historian's life from Xu Po and her grandson. You deserve to die for such deceit!"
"But due to the Chief Historian's kindness, we've decided to only expel you from the mansion without pressing charges," he added.
Chief Historian Deng implied that dealing with a lowly figure like Fan Tong would only dirty his hands. Was Fan Tong worth the trouble for the entire Deng Mansion?
Though they wouldn't press charges, Scholar Fan was already socially dead in Shengjing, with no future ahead.
Fan Tong felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
Who were Xu Po and her grandson?
