"The second son of the Jiang family wants to resign?" Zuo Ningyuan was surprised to hear this and spoke without restraint for a moment. Then he realized that he had behaved impolitely in front of the palace and hurriedly bowed his head and apologized.
Li Longze didn't open the resignation letter handed to him by Chen Jin. He simply tapped the table with his fingertips and said calmly, "Jiang Wenbai requested to resign, saying that he wanted to go to Sichuan to open a teaching ground and seek the truth.

"It's okay, it's okay." Zuo Ningyuan hurriedly wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve and responded vaguely.
Xie Wencheng caught a glimpse of him and saw that he looked frightened. Although he didn't know the specific reason, he became more alert.
He secretly reminded himself that he must be extra cautious when making his next report to the emperor.
