Shanxi went all out.

Chaoyan went on his knees to the shock of everyone and said, "Young master, I apologize for whatever she did. Please feel free to punish her any way you deem fit but please don't punish the company we are representing along with her. The employees behind us have worked hard to make this proposal; I will be a sinner if I ruin their hard work because of her. I can withdraw from this project if it will bring you back to the table for negotiation." He said humbly.

Muyang looked at him carefully, remaining silent for a while. "So you won't seek revenge on me or my fiancé for sending your sister to the cold prison?" he asked.

The cold prison was the worst in the empire. People who were sent there had to do hard labour. 

"She made her bed, she must lay in it." Chaoyan responded without hesitation.

Muyang then said, "I will think about it." And he strode out of the room.
