"There are times when even the mouth and tongue clash. With the Wang family's vast wealth and influence, how could everyone be united?" she said. "Moreover, the Wang family is not confined to just our Taiyuan branch. Are any of the branches in Langya Commandery, Donghai Commandery, and Zhongshan Commandery easy to deal with?"
Madam Tang didn't feel that what they had done was wrong. She said, "In the first place, His Majesty handled this matter in a disgraceful manner. He wanted to place the Longxi Li Clan at the top, but there was no need to suppress our families. Besides, the Longxi Li Clan is just a second or third-rate family when you're counting up hierarchy."
Lord Tang: "...Right now, my family isn't even second or third-rate."
"There's nothing to be done about it. I'm drawn to you."
