After reading Zhao Ting's letter, Zhao Dahe didn't delay and headed straight to the Duke Qi Mansion after a word to Qin Zheng.
He wasn't arrogant enough to think he could stand against the Grand Princess now.
Though his mother was currently a County Princess, the granddaughter of the Duke of Qi, and wife of General Zhao.
But to the Grand Princess, or to people in these noble families of the Capital City, these identities combined weren't intimidating. The reason being his mother appeared halfway, lacking solid foundations.
So, these people wouldn't truly place his mother and them on an equal footing.
"Nephew, aren't you a bit too weak?" Qi Yunye teased, "That's not going to work! How will you protect your mother and Xiaohua?"
Zhao Dahe felt a bit ashamed. Before coming to the Capital City, he had planned well; he was going to build his own power base and become a support for his mother. But since arriving, apart from befriending a few street people, he had made no progress.
