Pei Huaian saw the silent person and continued, "As for the Shao Family, Shao Zhengru is being troubled at every turn in the court. His anticipated promotion is now hopeless, and Shao Mingyang is detained by the Ministry of Justice, currently so busy he's at his wit's end."
After listening to his words, Shao He nodded in satisfaction, only her expression still gave away no pleasure.
"That, uh, I..."
"It's getting late. Xiao Linzhang also needs to rest. The Fifth Prince should leave as soon as possible." Shao He directly reached out to take the child from his hands, her cold voice giving no room for rebuttal.
"Okay, okay..." Pei Huaian sullenly withdrew his hand, not daring to linger any longer.
Now that there were some signs of her finally forgiving him, he couldn't afford to be set back to square one.
Shao He took the child back to the room, and only after Xiao Linzhang fell soundly asleep did she open the door again.
