Chapter 1042 - 014 Drunken shrimp, the most ridiculous!_2
If Wu Jiangtao is a vile character, then Wu Zhengqing is a consummate hypocrite, a hypocrite to the marrow.
"What Young Master Wu says is true. His Highness handles matters impartially, and we naturally dare not harbor any dissatisfaction," Chen Ruochu said in a bland manner. It was an utterly common statement, but it sounded exceedingly harsh to the listeners.
Chen Ruochu sneered inwardly and stood up with a salute, "His Highness gathered our two families from Jiangnan here to dissolve the generational grudges between us. Unfortunately, I fear I must disappoint His Highness. I’m but a humble concubine’s son of the Chen family and can’t decide on behalf of my father. I hope for Your Highness’s understanding."

I will not stay longer with Your Highness and the two young masters of the Wu family today, kindly permit me to take my leave first."

"Since Young Master Chen is unwell, then I won’t insist. Someone, see Young Master Chen out."
Immediately, a young servant at the door opened it and invited him out.
"This way, please, Young Master Chen."
Chen Ruochu glanced somewhere, then said, "I feel somewhat uncomfortable and would like to use the restroom first."
The young servant hesitated, then changed direction, "Then please, Young Master Chen, this way."
