"Haha… I can't believe that you actually dared to refuse the offer from the Third Prince. You sure are brave!"
Steward Li's smile faltered, barely masking the anger simmering beneath the surface.
As the steward of a prince, he was accustomed to maintaining his composure, but the idea of being slighted by a clan as insignificant as the Feng Clan made it difficult for him to hide his frustration.
Wang Yifan watched the scene unfold with a mix of surprise and disbelief. He never expected Feng Chen to have the audacity to reject Steward Li so openly.
In his mind, accepting the steward's offer was the obvious choice. Most people, in their ambition to expand their power, would overlook any potential disadvantages.
As long as they could gain the influence of a prince, they would eagerly seize the opportunity, especially smaller clans and families without a strong backing.
