"Afraid that he might act recklessly and expose everything, our people would suffer a fatal blow."
"Thus, subordinate can only try to stabilize him first, make an agreement with him without showing that the lord wants to control him, and continue to interact as usual."
"This is the gift Wang Qianmao sent to the lord." Mr. Liu felt a bit embarrassed, noticing the hidden anger in Minister Qi's eyes, which clearly showed his displeasure.
But Mr. Liu was helpless; even if he had leverage over Wang Qianmao, the opponent also had leverage over the Qi family, and Wang Qianmao was smart. He didn't state things directly but hinted instead, and throughout, neither of them fell out openly.
At the same time, Wang Qianmao also stated that he was on the same side as the Qi family. Although he was somewhat upset by Elder Qi San's actions of keeping a mistress outside, since Qi San had no heirs, he felt embarrassed to intervene and only hoped Minister Qi would treat Third Madam Qi kindly.
