Pei Yunzhao's face completely fell, but the Hu Family in the Capital City is considered a top-tier aristocracy in Ze Country, and holds its ground in the Governor's Mansion. However, Pei Yunzhao alone cannot represent the entire Governor's Mansion.
Although he holds an important position in the Capital, he only has a small amount of real power in his hands, whereas Hu Qiong is genuinely an aristocratic descendant.
If not necessary, he doesn't want to easily offend the people from the Capital City.
But this doesn't mean he is willing to let himself be insulted just like that.
"Hmph! I surely can't control how your Hu Family acts domineeringly in the Capital, but my Governor's Mansion is not yet so submissive to let others trample over."
