Chapter 311 - 310 Second Update
"Your Highness, please calm down; this is the new tea Xue Liu brought over yesterday. Your Highness, please have a taste—it’s a special reserve that the Commandery Princess set aside just for you," Cang Er scurried in, placing the tea in front of Zheng Haoyuan, Lu Hu sighed in relief; sure enough, Zheng Haoyuan did not pursue the matter any further and personally bent down to hold the cup of tea, which indeed seemed exquisite. The fragrance wafted toward him even before it reached his nose.
"It really is a fine thing—" Zheng Haoyuan said to Cang Er.
Lu Hu bowed his head, saying nothing; even if the Commandery Princess sent a simple leaf, you’d have called it fine.
"Someone has arrived—" a guard came in to report from outside the door. Upon hearing this, Zheng Haoyuan immediately perked up, having just been worrying about what to gift in return to his cousin.
Wen Ling entered the side courtyard of the Wen Family, which originally belonged to Wen Zan. Because the Fourth Prince was raising The Savage here, the place had become Fourth Prince’s territory. They had been on rotation duty here for a few days and had personally heard the low growls of The Savage.
"This subordinate pays respect to the Fourth Prince." Wen Ling immediately knelt down and respectfully performed a salute. He had not seen the Fourth Prince before, but Wen Ling was not nervous; for him, going from the Second Prince to the Fourth Prince was merely a change of master. The benefits and losses were concerns for those above—inconsequential to them.
Zheng Haoyuan was quite serious about getting a good look at the person before him, wondering what sort of brazen courage one must possess to dare lay hands on his cousin.
"Lift your head, let me have a look—" Zheng Haoyuan spoke slowly, while Lu Hu gave a cold glance at the person on the ground, uncaring of who they were. Today’s exit was irrevocably sealed; whether the Loyal Warriors of Wen Family would be implicated next depended on how slickly he could sever their connection.
