The next morning, Yao Zheyu paid a visit to thank Zhou Shuren for accompanying him on the trip back to Jinzhou Province.
Zhou Shuren took Yao Zheyu to the study, "Princely Heir, there's no need for a special visit to offer thanks. I merely conveyed your desire to return to Jinzhou to the Emperor, that's all."
Zhou Shuren truly didn't think much of it, so much so that after the Emperor wrote the decree himself, Zhou regretted it to death—for him, it was the worst business deal ever.
Yao Zheyu sensed Zhou Shuren's aloofness and smiled lightly, "While it may not matter to you, I cannot help but feel grateful. I must say, and don't laugh at me for this, but troubles never cease for me. Coming back with you this time spared me quite a few inconveniences."
