The powdered-faced young man was excessively overwhelmed by the crown prince's favor. He knelt down, nodding repeatedly while saying his thanks, "Yes, yes! Thank you for Your Highness's favor."
The crown prince nodded in satisfaction before turning to look at Qin Guilu. "Family Head Qin, call that maidservant over! Look at the state that she put the Marquis of Su'an's son into! How can this incident be dismissed so easily?"
Cold sweat beaded Qin Guilu's forehead, and he stealthily glanced in his two sons' direction.
Second Qin beckoned to a servant and instructed in a low voice, "Go bring the young lady over. Tell her that she doesn't have to be afraid. There's still me to deal with everything."
Qin Guilu let out a slight sigh of relief. He was worried that this child Second Qin's temper would flare up and butt heads with the crown prince on the spot, causing things to spiral out of hand.
