329 Granting Marriage (Two Tael)_2

A sudden jolt in Marquis Zhuang's heart!

Announcing it in public, wouldn't it let all the officials, the whole world know about Zhuang Yuheng's failure in integrity?

By then, Zhuang Yuheng's good reputation of nearly twenty years would be ruined overnight.

Not everyone can stand at the peak of power with a notorious reputation, only Marquis Xuanping is an exception amongst the six countries. Zhuang Yuheng still cares about face, or rather, the Zhuang Family does.

The Emperor didn't say it clearly yet, but the civil and military officials have already started to whisper, even Marquis Zhuang felt their gazes had changed.

Marquis Zhuang dared not disagree any longer, he knelt and uttered painfully and humbly, "I...thank his Majesty for his grace!"

After the court was dismissed, Marquis Zhuang stopped the Empress Dowager's palanquin.
