This person was able to say such brainless things, and for those words to be spread, he had inadvertently offended Tong Xuewen, a promising young man from a prominent Manchu family, the chief examiner of the imperial examination, and even His Majesty.
This person has offended everyone he shouldn't have before even becoming an official, so he has no future and is therefore not worth associating with.
Faced with the various gazes of the crowd, Xu Chengzhi, whose mental capacity was not great, could not remain indifferent. His face was ashamed and indignant, and he was extremely troubled.
He was about to say something when the shopkeeper continued, "Young Master Xu, please!"
Xu Chengzhi was feeling frustrated and had nothing to say. He stammered for a while but couldn't utter a single word.

What's worse, Wang Linyu watched from the side, filled with fear. He was most afraid of having any contact with Xu Chengzhi these days. Others might dare to look at Xu Chengzhi's ugly behavior, but he didn't even dare to glance at Xu Chengzhi, for fear that he would say that the two of them came together, which would implicate him.
