The entire court, especially Xie Yun, was so angry that his hair almost turned white in an instant, and he seemed to have aged ten years. This was a real fiefdom! It included a fiefdom! Many collateral branches of grandmasters didn't even have real fiefdoms.
Even the Duke of Ningguo was not as angry as the person involved.
Marquis Zhiyuan was so overjoyed to be hit by such a huge windfall that he almost fainted from happiness.
