The little attendant was really petty.
When the strategist worked for Prince Changshou, he had come up with a scheme to frame Huang Song. Huang Song was probably furious about the blame that appeared out of nowhere. If Huang Song knew that he was the one who came up with the idea and instigated Prince Changshou, how could he not bear a grudge?
This was not taking refuge, but seeking death.
Although what he said was penetratingly harsh, his tone was somewhat cheerful and funny. One would think that he was not angry about the attendant's pettiness.
The boy servant attending to his studies understood his master's temper. He knew even better that he would not be mad at something like this. His master would even itch for a try.
He said, "Your astuteness and resourcefulness are unparalleled. If Mr. Huang is really as good as you describe him to be, he won't blame you."
