A drop of sweat slid silently from Lu Cong's forehead, landing on his collar.
Another drop slowly fell.
The Commandery Princess's words were like a sharp blade, cruelly piercing his sore spot.
The study was enveloped in silence.
After a long while, Lu Cong managed to open his mouth with difficulty, forcing out a few words: "Why does the Commandery Princess say this?"
"These matters are originally unrelated to me. However, since you seek a position at the Prince Mansion, I must have a good talk with you."
Jiang Shaohua's bright gaze fixedly fell on Lu Cong's face: "I do not keep idle people. If you want a position at the Prince Mansion, you must show me your ability."
"If you rely on the old methods of being an official, then hurry back to Fanyang County. To avoid causing trouble in the future, leading to losing your life."
The words were spoken very bluntly, leaving no space for misunderstanding for Lu Cong.
