Shen Ningyu had displayed surprising audacity by addressing the Emperor directly, putting Qian Ziang in an uncomfortable position. Why hadn't he realized that Shen Ningyu would go to such lengths to embarrass him? It was evident that she hadn't considered his feelings at all.
However…
Despite the awkward situation, Qian Ziang had no intention of speaking.
The Emperor of Southern Mist was already beginning to find the situation rather perplexing. Why had Lady Shen brought up Young Master Qian's matter? What added to the mystery was the fact that Young Master Qian himself appeared entirely clueless about the situation.
"What is it that you wish to say?" Emperor Southern Mist inquired, his confusion evident.
"Your Majesty, there's nothing to address," Qian Ziang replied with remarkable composure.
Nothing?
Shen Ningyu's eyes widened in disbelief.
How could there be nothing?
