"Grandpa?"
"Well…" Old Master Nan thought for a moment and then said, "Do you know that the highest nobility title is basically duke, right? I was given the title of grand duke by His Majesty as an award for my contribution over the years."
The title was once taken away from Old Master Nan during the time when there was incident with his son. But afterwards, it was given back to him.
After all, Emperor Yang Zhou didn't really want to take this title away from him.
It was just to show the Imperial Family's stance during that incident and to let the other nobles see that the Nan Family would still be punished when they were wrong.
"Yes." Nan Hua nodded.
"The Xiao Family was also granted this title not long ago." Old Master Nan rubbed his forehead helplessly. "In normal times, the Xiao Family would stay low key and simply support the Emperor in doing their work. But the current Xiao Family had changed slightly."
