This matter has blown up so much, the impact is extremely bad. Even if it's just to save his old face, Grand Preceptor Zhuang will certainly go to the emperor to lodge a formal complaint against Marquis Xuanping.
But is Marquis Xuanping afraid of his complaints?
Memorials to impeach Marquis Xuanping pile up like mountains in the Imperial Study Room, his shameless deeds are almost too numerous to document. He hasn't committed arson or murder, so heavy punishment isn't warranted, but he has done one despicable thing after another, enough to infuriate people to the point of enlightenment or ascension!
Yet, these deeds are not worthy of death, at worst he gets a hundred or so strokes of the cane.
And after the beating, he's back to being a hero!
Marquis Xuanping rode away in Xiao Hen's carriage, leaving Grand Preceptor Zhuang and his grandson as laughingstocks in the street.
