Jiang Yifan was right. Perhaps it's because she lacked ambition, she couldn't understand this feeling. It's true, not just in ancient times, but even in the modern era where various institutional constraints make people relatively more equal and money speaks volumes, the pursuit of status has never ceased.
Ye Xinyan shook her head and brought the conversation back to the main point, "Does Sixth Master want you to take up a post at the Ministry of Revenue to look for faults and pinpoint the Crown Prince's mistakes? Sixth Master has spent the last two years in Qingyuan County, and everyone knows about his relationship with you. Once you enter the Ministry of Revenue, who knows how many will be on guard against you. I'm afraid Sixth Master's efforts will be in vain." Failing to meet the expectations of Jinrong or the Emperor would show incompetence. But should the truth be approached and revealed, there may be danger. This job is no easy task.
