"Lady Yu does indeed have audacity. Very well. I commend you for it. I shall send someone to transport the second batch of grain in seven days." Lord Hei suddenly burst into laughter, his tone implying increased admiration for Madam Yu.
"I do have some courage, but it’s also that my partner was courageous enough that I had the nerve to carry out this business." Madam Yu certainly knew how to flatter.
Lord Hei indeed laughed louder.
All things considered, Madam Yu fulfilled her wishes with this visit.
After Madam Yu left with her people, Lord Hei’s face turned even darker.
"My Lord, shall we act?" The man standing behind him made a gesture as if he were about to strike.
"Bear yourself with caution." Lord Hei briefly glanced at him, and the man immediately lowered his head, not daring to utter another word.
