If he had not fallen out of favor earlier and been unable to curry favor with influential officials, do you think he would have endured until now?
Seeing that Young Master Dou would not easily let go of this opportunity to seize power, Manager Dou began to stall for time: "Great Chu is so vast, and now in chaos. It's not easy for the housekeepers from various places to come to the Capital. It's too rushed before October. How about we wait until the year-end for a big discussion? What do you think, my son?"
The words "my son" were uttered with such warmth that it almost made Young Master Dou want to vomit.
He looked at Manager Dou and said, "It's only the end of August now. There's at least a month until October. If Dou Family provides them with fast horses, and they still can't reach the Capital in a month even if they travel day and night, wouldn't they be useless? If they're useless, then we don't need to keep them. Just sell them off."
