After untying his apron and hanging it up, he finally walked over to the two men and asked coolly, "What do you need me for?"
The series of actions was so practiced and natural that Sun Heng suddenly felt he was the one making a big deal out of nothing.
'As expected of the Lord Xiao Shen he so admired. Not only could she lead the common people, she could even keep the lofty Prime Minister Yu completely in line!'
