The Master was rendered speechless. 'I'm just trying to save you some face, you know.'
"Brother Mu, at least stay and listen to the Xiang Family's song before you go. What's so important about official business? If I don't say anything, who would dare say anything about you?"
Wang Guan continued.
Just as Su Mu was about to refuse again, a clamor suddenly erupted from outside.
"What's going on?"
Wang Guan's expression darkened. "Who dares cause a disturbance here?" he roared.
"My apologies, Sima. My subordinate doesn't know the rules. He broke the congratulatory gift meant for you, Sima. I'll throw him out right now."
A constable went out to check and quickly returned, leading a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man came before Wang Guan, bowed low, and spoke in a rush.
Wang Guan waved his hand impatiently. He couldn't be bothered with such trivial matters.
He turned back, about to continue persuading Su Mu to stay.
