Upon bringing up Xu Qiao, Su Changqing smiled bitterly.
Yes, in court, this matter was over!
However, in private, the feud between the two families had been formed.
Su Changqing sighed and said, "Xu Longcheng might have been humiliated, but Xu Qiao should know that I can make things difficult for him at any time after hearing the report from the royal court. I spared him just now, so he must have some misgivings. I don't think he will publicly attack Su Wen again. As for the rest, we can only take it one step at a time."
Emperor Zhou nodded in satisfaction. Neither side would be punished.
In his view, this was for the best. As for the internal conflicts between the officials…
It was not necessarily a bad thing.
On the other hand, Wu Kunhu and Xu Qiao walked out of the palace together.
The atmosphere was awkward.
To people in their position, this was a great humiliation.
