Niu Yanghui didn't know why he felt guilty and said, "I had no choice..."
Yueyao shook her head and replied, "Don't tell me it was unavoidable. Even if you had refused to accept this woman back then, I don't believe the Provincial Governor Zeng would dare do anything to you?" Niu Yanghui's greatest backing wasn't Marquis Jingning's Residence but his own father, Old Master Niu.
Lord Niu is a close minister of the emperor, a Second Rank Official wielding real power. Although the Provincial Governor Zeng is a mighty figure in Jiangnan, with many people trying to curry favor with him, he means nothing before Old Master Niu. Not to mention Old Master Niu suppressing him, just making things difficult for him in some matters would be enough for him. Unless the Provincial Governor Zeng lost his mind, he wouldn't suppress Niu Yanghui over such a trivial matter and make an enemy out of Old Master Niu without any conflict of interest.
