He Tang sighed deeply, "Many people who have been in the officialdom for many years still don't understand this principle. You... you've really changed a lot."

"I know that sometimes people are helpless, but whether to follow the crowd is a personal choice." Jiang Ning looked up at him, "He Tang, I'm sure you'll make a good official."

He Tang sighed, "Having offended Cheng Renyu this time, I fear..."

"Actually, you could totally agree to the marriage with the Cheng family. I've met Miss Cheng. She may not be a ravishing beauty, but she's certainly charming and deeply infatuated with you. If you marry her, Cheng Renyu would undoubtedly support you fully..."

He Tang remained quiet, not saying a word.

Jiang Ning's voice trailed off and eventually, she could say no more.

It was quite disheartening to voice this, knowing whom his heart truly held.
