Nathan Ye quickly waved his hand. "No need, no need. Master Quentin Lin is still young. I won't hold it against him."
"Quentin Lin made a mistake, and a mistake is a mistake. Being young is no excuse. Don't worry, Minister Ye, I will definitely bring Quentin Lin to your home to apologize," said Princess Jade Hayes.
Nathan Ye looked at Princess Jade Hayes for a long moment, then let out a long sigh and scratched his head. "Minister Evans, you... you heard everything just now. Sigh... I really want to fix this bald head of mine..."
Princess Jade Hayes pressed her lips together and looked at Nathan Ye’s head.
Baldness in men is a worldwide problem. Even in the twenty-first century, where Princess Jade Hayes came from, there was still no cure for hair loss.
Let alone in ancient times—even if technology advanced as fast as a rocket, baldness would still be an unsolvable problem.
Princess Jade Hayes thought to herself that even if Dr. Rowan Lin came, Nathan Ye's baldness would still be hopeless.
But saying something so discouraging right now wouldn’t help matters.
So Princess Jade Hayes promised that when Dr. Rowan Lin returned in a few days, she would bring both Dr. Rowan Lin and Quentin Lin to Nathan Ye’s house—one to apologize, and one to personally take a look at Nathan Ye’s baldness.
Nathan Ye felt both embarrassed and deeply moved.
After all, in this era, social hierarchy is strict and rigid.
Quentin Lin is the Queen’s younger brother, making him the royal uncle, while Nathan Ye is just a minister.
The royal uncle merely poked fun at a minister’s flaw. In the capital, Nathan Ye would have to laugh it off and let the nobles tease his baldness just to keep them happy.
But here, just for a child’s joke, the Queen herself came to apologize—and even promised to bring the royal uncle along for a formal apology.
Nathan Ye was so moved, he was at a loss for words.
Minister Ye, it’s settled. Go get some rest—you look exhausted," Princess Jade Hayes said with concern.
Nathan Ye, flustered and honored, nodded repeatedly, bid farewell to Princess Jade Hayes, and on his way out, saw a palace maid carrying sesame cakes. He stopped her and said, "Send these sesame cakes to Lord Qian."
The palace maid didn’t understand why, but since Minister Ye had spoken, she did as told.
Watching the maid walk away with the sesame cakes, Nathan Ye felt much better.
Since his own flaw had been exposed, he might as well disgust Mia Qian a little—after all, that woman thought she could bully Princess Jade Hayes just because her family was wealthy.
