The servants, smiling, announced, "The Prince of Yonghuai has arrived."

The room was instantly filled with joy.

After being busy for half the day, Pei Jue showed no signs of fatigue upon entering with his attendants. His gaze was piercing, and his tall stature suddenly made the spacious room feel cramped.

Everyone quickly inquired after him, and Pei Jue didn't say much, simply presenting Feng Jingteng with the fine wine his attendant had brought. "Your son-in-law is late; I ask for my father-in-law's forgiveness," he said.
