"You can't be too soft on your son! Now you can see how he behaves in front of the elders, right? He even dared to embarrass me in front of so many people!" The Empress Dowager immediately scolded her son after her grandson drifted away from her with his lover.
As Wu Jinhai had said, he and Bai Chen only formally congratulated the Empress Dowager on her birthday before finally leaving the area where the banquet was to be held.
Currently, only Wu Shun, Wu Jingguo, and the Empress Dowager were still standing there after Wu Jinhai and Bai Chen left them.
"Maybe it's also your fault, Mother," Wu Shun replied. "You shouldn't say such things to Crown Prince Bai Chen. He is the next ruler of Dong Lang, and if he takes offense at what you said, it might break our good relationship with Dong Lang in the future, Mother."
