The overwhelming sense of intimidation made young master Zhu feel as if a sword was hanging over his head, ready to drop at any moment.
None of the onlookers dared to make a sound.
After what felt like an eternity, Yu Yang finally spoke, asking Aqian, "Qianqian, how do you want to handle this?"
"Make them apologize to my grandparents!" Aqian insisted on her initial demand. "As for their current plight, it's their own fault!"
"Did you hear that?" Yu Yang asked young master Zhu.
"This humble one heard." young master Zhu hurriedly said, immediately ordering his brother and sister to apologize to elder Qiao and Madam Cheng.
They were reluctant at first, but a single glance from young master Zhu subdued them, and they promptly offered their apologies.
Elder Qiao said, "Let's put an end to this matter."
Even the Crown Prince was alarmed; he truly did not want to escalate the issue, lest it tarnish Aqian's reputation.
