What kind of apology was this?
As for compensation, they hadn't seen a single coin of silver. What did the two gift boxes contain? Just a few pieces of ordinary satin and a box of snacks!
This wasn't an apology; it was disgraceful.
The officials seethed with anger but had to suppress it. If news of their indignation spread, their families would become laughingstocks.
The Su family seemed shameless and thick-skinned. They didn't fear mockery, but they demanded respect.
Moreover, the Emperor had issued his decree, and the Su family was already in a precarious position. What good would causing a scene do? Could the Emperor still order their execution and seize their assets? It would only complicate matters for the Emperor.
Upon arriving at the front lines, the Su brothers would undoubtedly vent their frustrations.
Su Huai and his compatriots seethed with anger upon hearing this.
