"I just don't quite understand."
Chen Yongnian didn't understand why Xie Xing, who was already so good, still had to be so calculating.
He approves of appropriate scheming to gain some benefits, but he does not approve of scheming against those he trusts.
"That's how people are; they'll keep scheming for their own goals!" Wan Qiqi replied with a smile.
In her opinion, Xie Xing was not wrong to do so.
Having chosen a career in government, one certainly doesn't want to be confined to a small area; one desires a larger space to showcase one's talents.
Xie Xing was not a useless person; he had his own revenge.
Those who stand in his way are the obstacles on his path, and they must be eliminated as soon as possible.
It's just that everyone has a different way of doing "division".
Just like constantly calculating, wanting to expand the business and make more money!
She turned to look at Chen Yongnian and said, "Perhaps that's how it is between officials! Only when a position becomes vacant can there be an opportunity to rise!"
Wan Qiqi didn't actually understand the intrigues and power struggles within the imperial court.
The good officials she considers are those who contribute to the development of the people.
A nation's prosperity depends on the well-being of its people, but it also requires the oversight of honest and capable officials.

Even so, those words were imprinted on Chen Yongnian's heart.
Both were people he respected, and he was unwilling to hurt the other because of one of them.
If such a day comes, he will choose to stand on the side of the people and choose what the people choose.
Wan Qiqi smiled but didn't say anything.
Her choice was the same as Chen Yongnian's, yet different.
Given the approval of the world, she will choose to stand on the side of those she believes in.
If it goes against the will of the world, she will protect those she believes in.
What does the world and the people's hearts have to do with her?
All she wanted was for her family and friends to be healthy and free from worries.
She's not a saint, just a selfish little woman!
