Shen Shi poured a cup of tea, "Mr. Zhou, today we set aside our titles and merely engage in idle chat, please enjoy the tea."
Zhou Shuren mentally scoffed, as if he would believe that. After taking a sip of the tea, he remarked, "Good tea."
A hint of amusement appeared in Shen Shi's eyes, "Mr. Zhou, as you know I have a precious daughter whom I truly dote on. She's now engaged to Princely Heir Yao. Knowing that you and Princely Heir Yao have worked together for many days, I, as a father, would like to inquire, what do you think of Princely Heir Yao?"
Zhou Shuren put down his teacup and refilled it, "Mr. Hou, you already have an idea, don't you?"
Shen Shi leaned back in his chair. Indeed, he knew, and knowing too much made him realize that the Shen family's influence had already made the Emperor apprehensive.
