455. Princely Heir's Arrival (5k)

"Congratulatory gift" naturally means to celebrate and congratulate, but to send it to a family holding a funeral is akin to saying: "Well done on the death"?

"Brazen youth, how dare you..." An elder of the clan's beard trembled.

"You are not welcome here!" Someone else loudly echoed.

The Shen family, as the head of the aristocratic family, though akin to local emperors, still harbored fear and respect for the rising Junior Guardian Zhao.

But Zhao Douan pointing at their noses and cursing immediately infuriated these clan members with a strong sense of honor and disgrace.
