"What?"
Peng Yao’s face drained of color. "Why on earth is he surrounding our estate? This is his home! Even if there were some petty thieves about, he shouldn't be making such a spectacle, such a scene. What will people think of the Peng Family? Go, bring him to the study."
Seeing Peng Yao’s fury, Madam Cao stepped in to smooth things over for the sake of her own son. She smiled and instructed the steward, "Go, speak to him gently. Tell him I will talk to his father and that his father won’t punish him. Tell him we can discuss anything like reasonable people, and he should withdraw his men at once. Having guards surround his own family home is simply unseemly. Tell him to just come inside for a meal; this behavior is entirely uncalled for."
