Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The madam was very happy and quickly sent someone to inform Fang Yiming of his presence.
Today was actually Fang Yimings off day, but he was handling some matters in front of the county office. He’s been the County Magistrate of Xinyuan County for almost a year. He did not ask for much credit, but only to be known for making no mistakes. He had always been diligent and dared not to slack on his job.
Hearing that Xue Yan had brought Jiang Yue back home, Fang Yiming was naturally very happy as well. He hurriedly put aside the matter that could be put aside and returned to the back.
“Xue Yan.”
“Yiming. ”
Fang Yiming and Xue Yan cupped their hands in greeting.
Fang Yiming looked at Jiang Yue and smiled at Xue Yan. “The last time
Chengyi came to look for me, he mentioned how adorable Jiang Yue was.”
After chatting for a while, Fang Yiming brought Xue Yan and Jiang Yue out of his room and went to his study.
While walking to the study room, Fang Yiming said with some shame,
“Previously, I said that I would visit your house some other day, but I’ve been swamped with work recently…”
Xue Yan held Jiang Yue’s hand as he followed Fang Yiming to the study, saying, ‘Don’t worry about it. Many of the previous County Magistrate’s messy accounts have fallen into your hands and now you have to deal with them one by one.”
“Even so, but… Ah…” Fang Yiming sighed. “It’s hard to be an official. Many things have to be approved by the higher-level officials. Otherwise, I can’t carry it out either. However, the higher-level officials always make me do other things. As long as it isn’t something that’s detrimental to the people, they won’t approve of it. Actually… I don’t think I’ll be an official for long.” Xue Yan was silent.
In his previous life, Yiming had been an official for less than two years. This was because he refused to join in on the corruption. He was even harmed by some corrupt officials when he refused. Later, although his name was cleared, Yiming did not want to be an official anymore. Instead, he became a teacher and lived a simple life.
He knew that although Yiming became a teacher, he still wanted to do something for the people. Yiming didn’t care about being promoted or getting rich. He didn’t think about anything else. He just wanted to do something for the people. He wanted to do as much for the people as he could.
However, in the officialdom, there was no way to avoid fighting and cheating each other. This was what Yiming became extremely tired of.
Jiang Yue saw that Xue Yan’s mood didn’t fluctuate too much and concluded that in his previous life, even if Fang Yiming didn’t become an official in the end, he didn’t have a bad ending like his family.
“I can’t hold on much longer.” Fang Yiming sighed again. “Before Dongyu left, he even came to my place, hoping that one day, all of us can be officials in the same place and do something practical for the people together. We won’t have to think about anything else and just focus on doing things for the people.
Now that I’m here, I’m finding it quite difficult to hold on.”
On the other hand, Jiang Yue felt that it was not difficult at all.
Once Xue Yan’s identity as the Crown Prince confirms, his schoolmates and good friends would naturally rise with the tide. Then wouldn’t it be very easy for Xue Yan’s schoolmates and good friends to only want to do something for the commoners and not care about anything else?
Xue Yan opened his mouth and was about to say something, but Fang Yiming quickly laughed.
“Look at me. It’s rare for you to come here, but all I’ve been doing was rambling. Forget it, forget it. Let’s not talk about this. Come in with me. This is my study room. It’s much bigger than the one at home.”
After entering the study, Fang Yiming, Xue Yan, and Jiang Yue sat down..
