"Alas, they say even an upright official finds it hard to settle family matters. I cannot issue an edict to refute her either, but if I really sent you to the local regions to be a small official, I wouldn't have the heart to do it," Hua Shunming said.

Thinking about how the Marquis Wu'an Mansion had long been failing to make ends meet, Bai Jinglie understood their intentions in trying to force someone to his side at this time.
