Xiao Zhanrui watched Qin Liuxi enter the residence and ordered the steward to prepare what she needed, feeling so uneasy that he promptly went to report back to his parents.
Governor Xiao was still pondering how to entertain Heir Mu when he heard about this, and it reminded him of an even more important pressing matter in his house, particularly with Heir Mu being there, a tinge of gloom inevitably appeared on his face.
Firstly, he feared that Heir Mu would notice the mockery and spread it in the capital, bringing shame to the Xiao Family. Even if his daughter regained consciousness, she would only be able to live the rest of her life like a nun in a green dress.
If it came to that, they might as well have let Han'er succumb to her illness, rather than bring humiliation upon the family.
The more Governor Xiao thought about it, the more somber his handsome, bearded face appeared.
