"Uncle-in-law, aunt, elder cousin brother's not to be blamed," Lu Yurong said.
"Hm?" They turned and looked her way.
Leng Ying also looked over in curiosity, her eyes wide.
Lu Yurong said, "Those friends he has are all good-for-nothing sons from wealthy families who listen to anything he says. Everyone in the Fairy's Capital gives uncle-in-law face, so they tend to regard him reverently and respectfully. His personality has yet to mature, but already he's been treated as if he was more powerful than the Emperor himself. You still wonder how he would end up like this?"
King Jing nodded thoughtfully. "You have a point, Yurong. I have been negligent!"
His focus had always been on the affairs of the imperial court, so he barely paid any attention to Leng Feng. He left all these responsibilities to the princess instead.
