First, he cupped his fists at Xue Yan, the grandson of the Crown Prince, as a form of apology. Then, he stood up and walked out in large strides, blocking his second son who was about to enter the dining room at the door. "Stinky brat, come with me!"
With that, Duke Shao walked around his second son and left the dining room.
Before Shao Zhongxi could turn around and leave with his father, the High Duke's wife stood up and apologized. Then, she walked out and chased after her master. "It's not his fault. It's me."
"You?" High Duke Shao immediately stopped and turned around.
The High Duke's wife nodded and then walked into the courtyard. The husband and wife started talking in the courtyard.
Shao Zhongxi naturally went over as well.
They did not deliberately lower their voices. Jiang Yue and the others in the dining room could easily hear them.
