In the King Song Residence, Lu Ting, the old butler, and Wang Chong were gathered together. Surprisingly, King Song wasn’t present.

Wang Chong had instructed Lu Ting in advance that if Consort Taizhen were to send any letter, he had to intercept it before anyone else and inform him. On top of that, King Song must not find out about it.

“Chong gongzi, what did you write to Consort Taizhen?”

Seeing the letter Consort Taizhen sent, Lu Ting and the old butler stared at one another.

“Why would the letter write ‘Lord, why has modesty replaced your arrogance’?”

The only content on this letter was this short sentence, which was filled with unembellished mockery. It wasn’t bizarre that Consort Taizhen would send such a letter to ridicule King Song.

Given King Song’s vehement opposition against her before, it wouldn’t be surprising even if Consort Taizhen were to send several pages worth of criticisms to berate him.

After so many matters had occurred, the relationship between the two couldn’t be any worse. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that they were archenemies.

Just the fact that Consort Taizhen was willing to write back was already beyond the expectations of the duo.

Without a doubt, Wang Chong’s strategy was working. They were curious to know what kind of method he used to reconcile the relationship between Consort Taizhen and King Song.

“Hehe, I didn’t do anything. All I did was to send Consort Taizhen a poem.”

Wang Chong chuckled, making use of this timely opportune to showcase the temper of a youngster. He didn’t want Lu Ting and the old butler to think that he was too mature.

“Poem?”

Lu Ting and the old butler stared at one another in confusion. They couldn’t understand what kind of poem Wang Chong could have written to wield such effects.

Unknowingly, even the old butler began to trust Wang Chong completely.

Even so, to send a poem to one’s enemy? This was something that no one could have thought of.

“However, why can’t His Highness know of this matter?”

The old butler asked doubtfully.

Wang Chong had said in advance to not let King Song learn of this matter. But at the same time, he wasn’t particularly stern about the matter either. The old butler found it hard to keep up with Wang Chong’s thoughts.

“You all have seen Consort Taizhen’s letter as well. If it is possible not to trouble King Song, it’s best to do so to lighten King Song’s burden. Thus, I decided to offer my services to accomplish this matter for him. After all, it is only normal for us to help him when he requires it, isn’t it?”

Wang Chong laughed heartily.

Hearing Wang Chong’s words, the old butler chuckled as well. For some reason, he suddenly felt a surge of goodwill for this child.

“We’ll do as you said then.”

The old butler had a skeptical personality, and he tended to distance himself from others. He didn’t even hold much trust for Wang Chong’s father, who was a close alliance mate of King Song.

But for some reason, he wasn’t able to raise any hostility against Wang Chong, and he found himself incapable of doubting him either.

This was just the feeling that Wang Chong gave him.
