It was precisely because he was being hindered by a young official that Xiang City was dissatisfied with Chu Heng from the start.
"Minister Xiang, I was simply overwhelmed with anger. You don't know what Official Hu did to me. I understand why you'd speak like this now, but if you knew the truth and still sided with Official Hu, then I would have no choice but to request the Emperor to grant me justice," Chu Heng said, appearing as if he was considering Xiang's perspective: "Minister Xiang, I know Official Hu is bold because he relies on you, but I believe you have also been kept in the dark. You must open your eyes and see clearly to avoid being deceived."
Xiang City was so angry his chest heaved uncontrollably.
He clearly understood the warnings and threats in Chu Heng's words.
He gestured to a servant boy behind him.
The servant boy hurriedly slipped away.
