Yesterday, Jia Heming had complained that this person was arrogant, condescending, and annoying. When he first entered Huaixi, he must have been even more insufferable. It was no wonder that Wu Guan couldn’t help but beat him up. He looked like someone who deserved a beating.

Out of kindness, Jia Heming had warned Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan, saying that Sun Hao had a foul mouth. He advised that if Sun Hao said something offensive, it wouldn’t be easy to punish him. He suggested that Madam should be careful when she met him, and be ready to interrupt before he could say anything disrespectful.

This was sound advice.

After all, Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan wanted to avoid any conflict with the Second Prince.

However, when Sun Hao arrived, he was still relatively polite.

Qiao Xuan asked him to take a seat with a smile and said, “Our Lord is recuperating. General Sun, if you need anything, just tell me.”

Sun Hao didn’t think much of it and revealed his intent. “Madam Shao, we can only discuss our general’s business with Lord Shao himself. Please make an exception. It’s just a meeting. I don’t think it will disturb Lord Shao’s rest, right? Hehe…”

Qiao Xuan suddenly understood why Jia Heming had complained and why Wu Guan had beaten him up.

“What a coincidence!” Qiao Xuan said with a smile. “Why don’t you go back and come back after our Lord recovers?”

Sun Hao: “…”

Ever since they stepped into Huaixi province, they had faced constant rebuffs. Everyone here seemed so unreasonable. Indeed, unruly people came from poor mountains and rivers!

Sun Hao felt that he had restrained himself enough, but these people were pushing their luck.

“Madam Shao, are you sure you don’t care about our old general at all?”

Qiao Xuan’s face changed, and she sneered. “I want to show respect, but did Sun Pu show any respect when he attacked Huaixi twice? I am warning you, do not show me any disrespect! No one in Huaixi dares to disrespect me! Do you believe that you can’t go back?”

“You!”

Sun Hao’s heart trembled. He was angry and aggrieved.

He was genuinely a little afraid.

After all, in their eyes, women were ignorant, willful, and petty. Madam Shao had risen in status and must be used to being sought after because of her husband’s power. If she did something to them in a fit of anger, there would be no way to reason with her.

He had really lost all his face.

Forget it. Losing face in front of a stupid woman wasn’t losing face. It was just bad luck. No one could do better than him.

Sun Hao completely lost his temper.

He had to humble himself. “… What happened before was all a misunderstanding. Since you can make the decisions, it doesn’t matter if I tell you. I heard that a man named Zheng Sangge is with Lord Shao. Is that true?”

Qiao Xuan replied, “No!”

Sun Hao panicked. “Why not? That’s impossible!”

Qiao Xuan snapped, “If you already know, why are you still asking? Speak up.”

Sun Hao was furious. He kept repeating to himself that he wouldn’t argue with an ignorant and stupid woman.

Taking a deep breath, he said calmly, “General Zheng Sangge is the savior of our old general. The old general specially asked me to bring him some gifts. Moreover, the old general mentioned that the Imperial Court is in need of capable people now. He asked General Zheng to come over and be his helper, making a contribution to erase any negative karma.”
