To behave so disrespectfully in public! Didn’t he realize he was trampling on their ruler’s dignity?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed he was relying not on his title as \"Emperor’s Envoy,\" but on his blood relation to Lord Shao!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shao Yunduan, ever composed, took Shao Liulang’s tirade in stride. Once the scolding was over, he calmly explained that Hangzhou City was currently lacking in officials and that, as a reception banquet, showing sincerity was what mattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guests should act with decorum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Continuing to criticize would only make them appear rude and uncouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The imperial envoy’s behavior was disgraceful to the Emperor, but Shao Liulang missed the point. With a haughty air, he retorted, \"What do you mean, ’guest’? We’re family, so you should treat me as such. I’m speaking out for the good of the Shao Family!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Wenshu and the others couldn’t help but twitch with irritation. They were at a loss for words at how shameless Shao Liulang was!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It became clear that Shao Liulang had made a spectacle of himself without any help from others. It was better if they kept their comments to themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shao Yunduan, maintaining his composure, invited everyone to eat and drink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shao Liulang, however, was determined to assert his importance. He stood up, raised his cup high, and called for a toast to the Monarch, insisting that everyone join him in honoring the Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was acutely aware that Shao Yunduan was effectively their ruler, even if he didn’t officially hold the title of King yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fourth Prince had executed a clever strategy by sending Lord Shao’s cousin. Even if he couldn’t achieve much, he was adept at making himself a nuisance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had certainly succeeded in being irritating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one was inclined to toast. Accepting the toast would be a significant and undesirable gesture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Wenshu sneered and said calmly, \"Lord Imperial Envoy, you might not be aware, but here we only honor our ancestors in such a manner. We don’t extend such respect to the living.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laughter erupted among the guests, who nodded in agreement with Zhang Wenshu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Zhang is right!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, that’s how it’s done here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since Lord Imperial Envoy is here, let’s treat him well. Lord Imperial Envoy, why are you dwelling on other matters? Just drink up and enjoy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the guests clamored and toasting continued, Shao Liulang was left flustered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was at a loss for words, his shock and anger palpable. How dare they speak so disrespectfully!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t believe they weren’t doing this deliberately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shao Liulang’s spirits sank. It seemed that while he was trying to test Shao Yunduan’s limits, he was also seeking to understand what he could gain from this encounter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shao Yunduan continued to address Shao Liulang vaguely, avoiding direct confrontation. While Shao Liulang was outwardly dissatisfied, he felt a surge of satisfaction and hope inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This implied that there was still a chance to sway Shao Yunduan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Shao Yunduan might be hesitating, Shao Liulang saw this as an opportunity. By pressing him further, he could make a stronger impression and assert his influence. Once he had Shao Yunduan’s full attention, he was confident he could convince him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shao Yunduan had never intended to rebel, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>",558,"2026-06-03T12:01:22.065Z","2026-06-03T12:01:26.022Z",1,"novelbin.me","03a461c6d362d2df0d829e0784701f41e53227fcf2c98fc9acfab0070f3604cc","springtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-chapter-2352","springtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-chapter-2350",2438,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fspringtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-cover.jpg"]
