No one was to blame; it was simply a regrettable mistake.
Emperor Xuan's expression softened. "Very well, let's put this behind us. Never speak of it again."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"You may go now."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Officer Tian let out a sigh of relief as he exited the pavilion.
That was a close call! He had felt utterly humiliated.
For the time being, he would refrain from taking any actions against Shao Yunduan. He would ensure that nothing would happen to him and that everything would go smoothly within a year.
Otherwise, the blame would fall on his daughter, and that was simply exasperating!
Officer Tian's annoyance grew, prompting him to change his plans. Instead of heading to the governmental office, he decided to go straight home to Madame Qiao.
