"Grandmaster Miao, you're overthinking it. I simply find it unfamiliar to have such a person at my side. I have no ulterior motives. Please convey my gratitude to Lord Liu for his kind gesture when you return. Let him know that I am grateful!"
Grandmaster Miao's expression shifted.
He hadn't realized he was reading too much into it.
Shao Yunduan wasn't offering excuses; he genuinely disliked the idea of having such a person in his household.
And his wife would undoubtedly share his sentiment.
How could he bear to see her unhappy because of this?
However, Grandmaster Miao perceived Shao Yunduan's refusal as a deliberate attempt to distance himself from Prefect Liu, refusing to heed his counsel.
Why else would he reject such a tempting offer?
Wouldn't he benefit from having such a beautiful and refined woman in his home? Even if he didn't fancy her, he could have relegated her to the background.
But Prefect Liu hadn't compelled him to dote on such a concubine.
