The palace servant stood by the side. He felt like weeping but was unable to cry.
Although these were Xing Lou's directions, he did not dare allow the nation's grand tutor to sit in an obscure corner. That would be suicidal.
Xuan Wei who was standing by the side, saw that the palace servant had tried several times to speak but hesitated. He coldly said, "This is the grand tutor's wish. You should just obey."
The palace servant had no choice but to obey. He immediately ordered someone to remove all the original table settings and replace them with uniformly gold-plated utensils. Even the tablecloth was changed for a dark one embroidered with a silver thread.
The original unassuming table in a corner suddenly seemed much more attractive.
The members of the fallen aristocracy who had fled the table from fear of being implicated by the Lei family, now stared in anguish at Xing Lou, who was seated at their table.
